Neat and unique. Do you have it on a switch so you can turn on separately?

 

You mean like this? Did this Friday morning moving some furniture out of house. Could hardly sleep that night

I keep thinking that i can do and build all things and then my coordination gets the better of me

 

Do the OEM Bluetooth microphone still work with the new head unit or are you using an aftermarket Bluetooth microphone?

 

Great deal! Looking for one myself

 

Here’s the video where CK Wraps tries it out for the first time:

Here’s where I bought it:

If you’ve never done vinyl wrap before (like myself), I recommend watching a few CK Wraps videos to see the techniques. The indestructible wrap is pretty forgiving to work with. You can pull it back up to correct wrinkles and air bubbles. Though, the small air bubbles are hard to see, I could detect them by using my hand. You can be pretty liberal with heat to stretch it because it doesn’t distort the finish.

Boy oh boy, I am super happy with it. Next, the fender flares...

 

The factory mic won’t work with the new headset. I just took the one one that came with the head unit and routed to the factory location through the a pillar and under the head liner.

 

We all make mistakes and sometimes have several made for us.

Just after college I was managing a pizza joint. We had a big dough rolling machine to take the crust from a softball to just under a 1/4". This machine got cleaned each night by opening the door and the 4 3ish" stainless steel rollers weighing about 200ish lbs. VERY much like this one.


Anyhow, I was cleaning it one night and the safety switch failed while my hands were between the bottom rollers and they got pulled in. I could not pull my hands out, hit the kill switch, or reach the plug. So I yanked the sucker off the table which ripped the cord out of the machine. Then I had to talk one of my employees through releasing the drive chain to get my hands out. I lost my wedding ring as it had to be cut off my finger, fortunately it did not cut the finger off though I did end up with stitches, 4 broken fingers, and lost 3 finger nails. Also got 4 days off, a new dough roller for the store, and an angry wife.

Good times.

 

Take a sewing needle, heat up the pointed end with a lighter, stove burner, whatever. Use the glowing red needle to burn a hole or 2 through the nail to let the blood out and relieve the pressure. IT DOESN'T HURT and the feeling of having the pressure relieved is almost better than sex.

An ER doc told me they use a Dremel tool with a drill bit to do the same thing.

 

Thank you. I searched this thread and didn't even thing to just search.

 

How about a rivet-nut tool mount on your bed extender? It would certainly display your character!

 

Thanks! There’s no pain now though. I think I’m too much of a wimp to do it it myself

 

Ouch. That thing must be throbbing by now. It might be to late but that nail needed to be drilled to relieve the pressure. I’ve done that many of times. Don’t be surprised when you lose the nail.

 

You should have got paid. Workman's comp sucks, but it's there to take care of you.

Where did you get the letters and covers at?

 

Decided I'd had the @MESO Headlight Trim Plates long enough - it was time to finally put them in. Took about an hour but I took my time - still managed to drop one of the screws from the right plate and had to spend some time looking for it and then fishing it out with a magnet. Easy job, overall...just a little disconcerting pulling that bumper cover loose.

I've done the hot needle method a few times, there is absolutely no pain. The needle melts through the nail so you don't have to press hard, and once it gets through the blood trapped underneath the nail cools the needle so it doesn't burn the skin.

 

Could you tell me how to remove valance. Mine is loose so I want to see whats going on. Thanks

 

I. Like. That.
