Custom TRD Method NV Center Caps

Mine should be in the mailbox when I get home today , I may mess with them this afternoon if not tomorrow for sure

 

that's really odd. All hardware is use is 1/4-20 thread.

 

It threads but most will lock up and act as if they are cross threaded, if I attempt to back them up they lock up and there is no getting them off

 

Nylon is too tight for the bolt? I will check mine today when I get home and see if I have an issue.

 

Going to play with mine today, wondering if I need to paint them or will it look ok just as they came.

 

I think they look fine the way they come.

 

Wow that does look good , and my rims stay about that dirty too

 

Is everyone hardware going together ok??

 

Lock nuts are not joke , broke one bolt off already

 

That baffles me. I feel like I had a bad batch of hardware. I have new nuts/bolts ordered and I’ll be shipping out a new set to all customers.

 

Make that two broken bolts

 

It’s like it cross threads once it get into the nylon , broken two and have a 3rd that will not come apart as I was attempting to thread all the nuts down first before I bolted caps on to make it easier.

 

I feel so much better now. I thought I was an idiot that was cross threading every single one.

 

So far 9 of mine are trash

 

Had a total of 12 bad ones , I may try to see if I can find at the hardware store so I can finish up.

 

Word of advice, wait for new hardware. Even the ones I tried and threaded down I still had a few more lock up and had to be drilled out. Not worth damaging the cap I got away with just a small blemish.

 

I second that. The few that worked for me will not back out now. There will be no way to get them off without damaging my precious caps. Glad I only did one cap and stopped there even though I had all 4 tires off the truck. Doh!!!! LOL

 

I’ve had bad hardware before from other projects (A-pillar ram mount hardware kit).

Just ended up being a bad batch or bolts and/or nuts.....it happens with things produced by the gazillion.

 

Went to Lowe’s and got enough hardware to finish , huge difference. I really like the look

 

Crazy how much it changes the wheels!
