Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
More parts going on, these universal polyurethane pads are replacing the plain rubber ones between the bed x-members and the frame...

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Got all the rivet on parts I wanted to remove from the frame before I have it powder coated, WHOOOO HOOOO! And best of all, no drama tonight.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Spent the day on my back under the dash doing the typical 1000 sit-ups wiring job. I took a couple of days just organizing the wires before ever terminating one. Got my headlight switch, dimmer switch and gauges wired. Like everything on my truck, I want to do it right but I'm not going to get overly meticulous because this will be a daily driver.
BTW, those quad gauges sure simplify wiring - only one set of wires for the 4-gauge unit instead of separate wires for each gauge.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Mine is Martin Senour (NAPA) 2003 Prowler Orange. I shot a color card using two gray primers and a white and got three different colors, even after 6 coats. We picked the darker gray (Kirker). I shot 3 coats and got good coverage over the gray, but the white was still darkening even after 8 coats.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
OMG I should have SHUT MY MOUTH about the no drama! I have been up since 1 am when we got a text from our son that he was in the ER in a hospital about 40 miles from here after a car accident! It was a very bad accident apparently testing his roll bar and though he has a serious breakage to one of his feet and his face is all swollen the car looks like his injuries would be much worse. We just got home with him and it's going to be rough going the next number of days before he goes in for surgery. I wish I had a copy of the xray, holy crap, four bones broke in his food with one of them looking like a piece of ice hit with a hammer, CRAP! Our house is now a rehab center with wheel chair and walker and all, geeez.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
It has not been a good week for you, Brian. So glad that he was able to come home, but it sounds like a serious time rehabbing. My thoughts will be with you guys.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Thanks guys, this SUCKS big time. He had a horribly broken leg when he was 14 I had to drive to a near by Trauma ward to see him after it was broken, NOT a good time. This was no better even though he is a man, it was no better, DAMN.
And the first car he bought himself, he has been enjoying it so much (1997 Miata) it is GONE, damn is he lucky! Brian

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Got all my lights wired up, thinking I have a bad turn signal relay and need to swap it with one of them new fanged electronic relays.
Opted to have the running lights and headlights run together, I always liked that for some reason.

I thought your forum name was pretty coincidental.
