Toothbrush holder ?

it’s a Plastic strip to get a grip on the inside of the door jam. It’s so you can close the door from the outside without getting fingerprints on the door. I think they’re goofy, but some people really fuss about finger spots on cars.

It was CBoy808. Also used him for my decal. Send him a PM with what you are thinking and he can work up some examples. Great guy to work with. You wont be disappointed.

It's getting closer to paint. Still waiting on some parts. Those are just templates for the windows. Will be tinted windows when done.

So...I picked this up today. When I ordered it, I expected it to be full on white like every other one I had ever seen and was contemplating spraying it to match the concrete or maybe just black to go with my blackout pkg. I was super happy when I opened the box........

I sprayed the front end with fluid film before re-installing the skid plate.

Couldn’t agree more on every account. I don’t winter well, but it’s a great discussion to have and keep the gears upstairs moving and lubricated.

Yes, on a scale you will reduce the weight on the front wheels. But to what effect? I’ll run the calculations below just for fun, but the only reason I bring it up is the danger of the mass creating lateral force.

yes, I’m a geek and enjoy the math, so here you go:

I’m guessing that the sand’s center of mass would be about 2’ behind the rear axle. I found someone posted the weights on their truck with a full tank of gas was 2,680 on the front axle and 2,000 on the rear. I’ll use these figures as “empty”. Then look at 200 pounds over the rear axle then 200 pounds 24” behind the rear axle (tailgate).

Datum? 1”?

weight X arm = moment,
Moment / weight = CG,
Moment / arm = weight

Empty:
((2,680) X 1) + ((2,000) X 128)) = 258,680 (moment)
258,680 / 4,680 = 55.27” (center of mass)
or 54.27” behind the front axle
2,680 Front
2,000 Rear

200 #s over rear axle:
((2,680) X 1) ((2,000) X 128) + ((200) X 128)) = 284,280 (moment)
284,280 / 4,880 = 58.25” (center of mass)
or 57.25” behind the front axle
2,660 Front
2,220 Rear
Even directly over the rear axle, the weight shifts the center of mass rearward reducing weight on the front axle.

200 #s 24” behind the rear axle:
((2,680) X 1) ((2,000) X 128) + ((200) X 152)) = 289,080 (moment)
289,080 / 4,880 = 59.24” (center of mass)
or 58.24” behind the front axle
2,622 Front
2,258 Rear

i can crunch better numbers if someone can tell me how many inches behind the rear axle this weight would sit.

Where did you get the wrap at and about how much was it?
Thanks in advance!!
Click to expand...

It’s 3m wrap and got it on Amazon. It ran me about $400 including f ups, which was only the doors on one side once. truth be told I’ll never wrap it again. When the wrap is ready to come off I’ll be plastidipping it. Plenty of colors and finishes and much easier to apply. Wrapping a truck is a bitch if you doing have someone with lots of experience!

Well this looks awesome, I think I need to get with him for something similar. But I’ll probably get depressed being reminded every day about the duck season we are currently having.

Thank you.

If you like that you'll probably like the console cover that @Lugnut22 did for me. Here's a pic of that.
Kylin @Lugnut22 can be found on the "Custom Upholstered Pieces" thread.
He does some really nice work also.
