Matt you do great work and those beefy sliders are just the tip of the iceberg.

 

[bhmmapping]

Thanks Paul

 

[ClankBang]

Good to see you finally doing some work for yourself!

Why'd you paint'em black? They don't match.
I lov'em BTW. I want a set to go straight out exactly like that.

They match the stock running boards. I thought about color matching and figured it would look weird on the sliders.

Wanna see what they look like on my white digger?

Finally got the new springs installed. I went with Ironman constant load ("C") and it is much better, to me at least.

I sold the sliders a while back. One step forward, one step back...

O'Rielly's sells rattle cans of Duplicolor exact-match in Toyota Antique Sage Pearl. Weird, since 2000-3000 1997 40ths were the only Toyotas ever painted in that color, AFAIK.

$5.49 per can last I saw.

Thanks Garth, I'm going to go see if they have it here at lunch. I bought some from Amazon last year to fix the front of the hood, but it was almost double that price.

I think they used that color for the Camry also, at least that is how I found it online last time.

This is the duplicolor on the front edge of the hood - It matches so well I may just paint the entire hood with it.

Took a weeklong trip to Blue Ridge, spent a lot of time off pavement but didn't really go anywhere that a subaru couldn't go.

Leather sold locally for cash plus a nice set of exact fit seat covers. Very happy with the covers, much more comfortable and they are probably more appropriate for a 250k truck anyway. I also fixed the passenger seat while I was at it since I had been waiting on the leather install to get it done. I think I found the problem

 

[bhmmapping]

Looks like it is time for some new tires:

Is anyone up around Fultondale with a breaker bar? The factory lug wrench couldn't get it done.

 

[justbecause]

That looks like it has some tread left. Just get a tube and some glue.

 

[bhmmapping]

I think so too, just glad to hear someone else say it.

 

[Land Speeder]

Holler if you get no relief. I would have to run home to grab my pelican case (took it out last night ironically)
But I got errythang including a tire to use.
Sext me if you need me

 

[bhmmapping]

thanks, hopefully it won't be necessary since you are on the other side of town.

 

[Land Speeder]

If already be enroute if the pelican was in the back...
