Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I'm supposed to go get another shock mount and install it to - day but after yet another 20 hour day yesterday , I'm beat and sore , maybe I'll wait for the one Dano found for me .
I hate driving and feeling the R.R. Wheel bobbling as I go . Not safe either ~ I must drive slower than I usually do . Maybe I'll suit up and head to the junkyard later .

Ah crud ;
By the looks of the roof seam , it's time for paint works before it rusts away in any case .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I put a seat cover on. The seat was re-done by the previous owner in bright red, so decided to change the look a little to suit my tastes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Real sorry to hear about this Dollor. The storms lately are pretty scary, hang in there. I have minor earthquake damage up at my cabin, so none of us are safe. But from the sound of the storms, I'll sit here and wait for a little shake or two...LOL

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Sorry, ole dollar. Maybe you're not supposed to sell her?
I painted this morning. One panel. Tractor Supply Matte Black on the pass bed side. Maybe one more panel tomorrow. Turning the RAT 20-footer into a RAT 10-footer for $30/gal.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
My wife was worried about tornadoes I told her don't worry we won't have one till I get at least 3/4 the way done with my truck then it will wipe out my truck with no insurance. Sad to hear that though

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
first time you get a chance check it driving down the road and see what the temp reads. it might cool better with a little air cooling the condenser...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
What a PAIN!!! "I finished" painting my (now) $87 paint job. Turns out one gallon of Tractor Supply Matte Black, my cheesy
spray gun from Orchard supply, an anemic 1.5hp 110V compressor, about sixty pounds of rags, good yellow 3M tape, a few tack cloths, and a half gallon of lacquer thinner for cleaning (I even thinned some of the enamel with it....tsk, tsk....) $30 for the paint, $57 for other supplies. About twenty hours of masking (very "fussily"), pulling off emblems, etc., and sanding with 120 on some rough spots. This is what ya get. Not pro. But not too bad.
