    Anyone know of cheap seat covers for the 60/40 bench seats that are separate so you have basically two car seat covers? Thinking about adding my old ones to my classroom to have a chill reading area. Need some seat covers to make them look presentable though!

    I order 2 for 16$. I know they won't last but if they last a couple weeks Atleast it'll be good enough for me.

    I thought I'd be baking but I was out working on the truck when it was 95 earlier today. Getting used to it faster than I thought.

    Dry heat is a lot more bearable than the temperate climates' humidity & heat that we're from - heat exposure on the other hand can creep up more easily - found that out last year hiking in San Diego county o_O

    I've done my front doors with GTMat and RamAudio foam. Just doing that made a huge difference. I also insulated the back of the kick panels and coated the back of the door panels with bed liner spray. Doing the rear doors and back of the cab next.
    Sprayed seams with bedliner spray.

    Honestly the secret really is the trim restorer. Once I degreased everything and brushed/wiped away all the gunk and oil and grease the engine bay was clean but not new looking. After you hit all the plastic and rubber with the restorer everything look shinny and new. Make sure to wipe any extra off though otherwise it’s just a dust magnet.

    Too many, See Build
    So 4wheel drive parts did it again. I was washing my truck yesterday, and I realized that the rim I bought from them has a bigger lip. I think they gave me the wrong backspacing. Shouldn't that affect my handling?

    Easy fix that I learned long ago: don't buy stuff from 4 wheel parts.
