You stole those materials from work, didn't you?

Shhhh, out of the scrap bin!

By welding everything I meant they don't often use rivets, but I get your point. They just have a habit of over-engineering each bit they fabricate. Your skills reminded me of what they do.

I build things so they don’t fail, like Mr T does, typically

As if the truck didn’t already have me paranoid enough as it is, decided to add one of these to the equation.

Oh I already know it. First order of business is using this to see if my ECT sensor really is acting up, got one coming in Saturday so hopefully this will quickly let me catch if its gone bad.

Anyone have a good way to re-attach the plastic pocket on visor?

That bond is created by either an ultrasonic weld or a heat weld. Both create heat to fuse the two together. There are a some hand held tools that can do the same but your best bet is to use a chemical adhesive

How many miles on your Goodyear Authorities? I've got a set on my Tacoma with over 50k miles on them and I can't wear them out. They are great for traction but really loud on pavement.

I have about 25k on them, but they have been on there for 5 years. Had one crack out on me, but it still had 60% tread.

Love what you've done with the bumper. Better execution on yours than mine. View attachment 2787728
I used a tree.

Whoops! And thanks. It's about to get a custom build here soon!

Finished building the thing I was building to relocate something

I'm still learning how to use mine. I do like having it though, it's better than only having the stock gauges.

You had all these pictures and suspense building posts and then you were building a simple washer fluid relocation bracket haha

But DAMN!!!! It looks GREAT doesn't it?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

But DAMN!!!! It looks GREAT doesn't it?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I’m happy with it, but I may make another with a few changes.

I now have to position the diagnostic port up higher, I already have a bracket made.

Man I sure like to find one DS seat cover like that to match my cloth interior

where did you get a manual trans??

I don't have a manual trans, but I do have cloth seats in my 97. I was just commenting on the rig from Saudi that has the same interior as mine. My seats are pretty nice but I have some wear on the bolster from 25 years of getting in an out and would love to score another seat cover but everything says they are NLA

I found the build up to the reveal riveting.
