$8/ea -- last picture is to show scale -- let me know if you are interested and I will forward payment + instructions. Thanks, Mo

The strongest adhesive I've ever used is PC7. It is probably equivalent to aerospace epoxy they use to glue aircraft together. The downside is it takes a loooong time to cure. At least 24hrs before you start moving stuff around and 72 for a...

Universal Smart Wireless Car Steering Wheel Control Remote Button

yeah pretty sure it's there like @45Dougal says. However, I have found the knob twist to be a little finniky unless maybe you have some different knobs. You might be trying to raise the volume or whatever else the primary knob does and then you...

huh...honestly, I don't know. I'll check. It still would be nice to have a switch closer by, but if I can achieve it with knob as it is, maybe not worth it.

Can't you do that using the right knob?

Hey, All. I have a custom Retro Sound stereo installed in my FJ45. I connect my iPhone to the radio using either a USB input or bluetooth. I'd love to have track skip (up and down) buttons wired in to avoid fiddling with my phone to skip tracks...

Well....I got it blasted clean and now its time to move onto the next patches (the floor pans). However this looks trickier to me than I might have previously assumed. I've got holes in the pans, inside rockers (both sides), outside rocker...

With many thanks to @zerotreedelta and @pb4ugo (which is a great user name now that I've had time to consider it), and others.... my rotisserie now spins easily with one hand. This is built from the free rotisserie plans at red wing steel...

Speaking in my prior / alternate role of software engineer (programmer)....I have to say the 40 reminds me very much of how software requirements are piled on. 1). Drive at highway speeds 2). Drive places where no highway or road exists 3)...

I've completed my rear replacement with new sill, quarters and wheel wells. Here are the best of my measurements from my original 1979 tub for posterity. Just data for some future poor soul to be confused or helped by. Next up in the...

I'd suspect many people approach odd angle patches in the same manner as I do. Not completely sure...cause I'm too lazy to go find out. But in general my rolling, hammer and dolly skills are pretty mediocre...so I just do the following. 1)...

If you decide to powder coat your air cleaner assembly, be aware that some years have a flapper with a rubberized tip in the fresh air intake nose (see pic with red arrow). Theres really no way of removing it unless you are willing to cut it...

Its definitely dragging me down.... This rear bed work is my least favorite of all the refurb. The vagaries of the panels and the uncertainty on tolerances is a bit spooky. Did I take enough measurements.....Why is this panel in a slight...

In case anyone wants color comparison pictures for using SEM Color Coat for plastic paints. This is for my 1979. I am not saying these are perfect "stock matches" but they seemed likely and "nice enough" given the old worn items I was working...

your new fully loaded SNOW VERSION double tanks overflow and reservoir bottles set up has been shipped out you just so happend to be the first outgoing order to get one of the limited edition cereal box prizes i conquered up too ! Look out for...

Don't have any true "before" pictures but perhaps you can see whats going on here. The upper portion of the first picture is the "good" side of one of my dash pads. These are the pads below the instrument panel on my 1979. You can see in...

All new wiring on the rear harness (it was complete rags beforehand) and the backup light switch shorted and burned a wire all the way back to the fuse box. The cab wiring harness is now retrofitted with some new wires and cleaned up...

On another front....if someone wants to see a variant of how to spend lots and lots of time fixing a back upper quarter panel... I've got a rat hole for you. I had an old donor quarter panel that had the opposite rust signature from a quarter...

So... In case anyone is using CCOT patch panels on front doors and you have a 1979 style door...there are a few things you need to watch out for. Both the front and back patch panel for the door have a depth profile that doesn't exactly match...

An update on prep'ing for paint. As previously mentioned I plan on building some overland campers also in the future and wanted a paint booth that was more flexible and could be setup and taken down over and over again. What I decided to do...

As also previously mentioned I tried stripping various parts with both Citri-Strip and Jasco Paint and epoxy remover. I can say without a doubt I would never do this again. Its a huge time waster and after multiple ..... multiple iterations...

A few updates to follow on things I've tested and been working on. Firstly, my attempt at "coating" the inside of my rear doors with epoxy primer semi-worked....but its insufficient. I closed up all the holes with painters tape and...

So I've currently welded in the outer face patches for all the doors. A couple of things I've discovered about the CCOT patch panels which were previously purchased. 1) the rear ambulance patch panels are "spot" on with very little...
