    Repairing center console lid.

    Mine was broken when purchased last summer. I went to Chev dealer and found out nearly 200 to replace it. After reading this I realized that the cover was fine just the plastic below it was broke. I took it apart and found the plastic part was broken into many small pieces. No way to fix that...

    Ford tough?

    We can all guess about the truck but, unless we learn the facts as to WHY, all we have is guessing. But, again I can believe it because I have seen that type of abuse.

    Ford tough?

    The question about a government vehicle with low miles needs work. You guys ever drive fleet vehicles daily. Some folks take care of them but, many do not nor will not. How about jumping into a police vehicle and before leaveing the lot you realize the brakes barely work. Or, the tranny goes...

    Steering Wheel Re-Wrap?

    Last fall I got my f350 and new leather steering wheel from CARID on line. Not cheap at 450 paid. 150 refund for old wheel returned (core charge). They did a great job. Real close to factory color and factory style is perfect. The factory steering wheel had the black tar like stuff coming thru...

    Trying some new rollers

    I agree they are heavy. I use them on a f350 and was carrying a 4400 side in camper and pulling a boat for awhile. I needed the 3740 lb rated tires. In Oregon I quit using 6ply or C rated tires years ago and buy Es or 10ply after too many side walls blew driving on the logging road rock beds...

    My new friend

    That little pup is cute. Boy they do not stay small long. I think every time they wake up as a pup they are bigger. I have yellow Labs. When both parents are black or chocolate. The pups are black mostly, than some chocolate pups and sometimes a yellow. If both parents chocolate most pups are...

    Trying some new rollers

    Good looking vehicle. My experience with lug tires, great ones do not have much noise when new. The test is at 70% tread. They will be louder how much you will find out. I had several sets of the Toyo M55s they have about the heaviest max. load rating for the 10ply 16 wheels.. But at 70% they...

    What did you do to your GMT today?

    I replaced the driver side passenger door lock actuator. It was fairly easy, easier than my F350 doors. I just wanted to make a couple of points. I found the door moisture seal loose just as was the drivers door. It seems the bead of sealant wears out. That is where I had massive amount of...

    NEED HELP rain water driver floor

    FYI, I just wanted to update this post as winter is about done. We have had days since this post of inch's of rain per day. Vehicle still gets parked at a slight angle. Driver door facing the wind and rain. It seem that the resealing of the inner door moisture seal as stopped water flowing into...

    What can these things handle?

    We had 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice over the snow. I did wear boot chains when walking on the stuff. I do chain up the truck sometimes. It was a thought while stuck on the slope. But, I decided attempting that on a ice covered slope might not be the place to put them on. For fear of the vehicle...

    Firearms

    Your doing good by getting metal sights. I got a glock 26 not long ago. They all come with plastic sights. I got a groove across the top before even going to the range. It's a work gun so night sights where on it before work. Glock makes metal rear sights for around 20 bucks but, puts 5 dollar...

    Firearms

    Really different guns and their parts need different kinds of lube to work best. CLP works great on most stuff. On the semi auto you show. I would clean it and oil or CLP every time you shoot it and it should be fine. If you shoot hundreds and hundreds before cleaning, please don't. But, if...

    What's your weather like ?

    Been in the teens here for a week. Ice over snow. Wish I could have parked and watched all the nuts spin out. And I did spin out once. So I guess I am a nut too. Last 2 days rain and temps in 40s so most ice is now gone.

    What can these things handle?

    We have had snow, 4-6 inch's for several days. Drove the TB every where. Left the 20,000 dollar f350 4x4 parked so if I got hit it would be a less expensive. Showed 220 miles driven in AWD or 4X4. It did great this was on paved roads. We have steep hills some maybe 10 to 15% grades in the hood...

    Disappointed

    I watched part of the video. Looked like fun. Was not the right rear under power at first as it entered the mud hole. Wonder if there was just something under the vehicle. Lifted the left rear alittle and the right was spinning unseen. I would have tried backing alittle and go foreword again, if...
