The Lair

I just commented. Ive been talking to him on IG. Im not ready to buy yet. I also like the InsainFab CMCs like @inesshell just did

 

Just tagged you in a thread for it

 

Does that relocate the bolt? There's a lot out there from haws or redgoatfab or something I forget. I think every one I've seen relocates the bolt. If this one doesn't, I'm in.

 

Nope, this one leaves it in place. That’s why I like it so much

 

You da man

 

As a quick deal pull the access to the cabin air filter and just look in there to see if there has been any debris get in there. I have seen that on more than one occasion. Also have seen squirrels make nests in there or mice etc. It's ironic when a squirrel does it because the name of the fan itself in the industry is a squirrel cage.

 

Leafs in the fan? That happened to my old colorado & it was annoying as fuck. Took about 2 weeks to clear

 

This one does not it keeps the stock location of the bolt but uses a smaller dia. bushing it appears and just moves where the cab mount is welded to the frame.

 

it moves the mount from the forward side, to under the cab

 

In case you weren’t sure it doesn’t relocate the bolt

 

What's this thread for the fan noise?

 

We could all repeat it one more time just to make sure

 

Yeah this one

One time I had a bird take up residence in the exhaust pipe of a bathroom fan. It eventually died. Well wouldn't you know it, he died in such a position so that the tip of his beak was just catching the blades of the bath fan. This sounds exactly like that

 

Acorns, sticks, insulation etc. I have seen it all down in there sometimes it's just from falling through the fresh air vents sometimes animals put it there. My folks had a squirrel chew the wires in their 99 tacoma and relocate them to the blower fan for nesting material. Took me almost a whole day to repair their wiring harness.

 

It looks like that bearing he is trying to oil is a neoprene sealed bearing.

@Redmann my fan whines like a banshee on high on extremely cold days probably the bearings starting to crap the bed.

Pull the blower motor out from under the glovebox. Gurantee there is something in it, leaves, dead bug, some sort of foreign object.

The cabin air filter is probably also hideous

 

That's gotta be some crazy swedes or norwegians!

 

Russians would be my guess
