Order parts and drop it off at my house. I'm staring down a two week quarantine at the end of the month, I'll rebuild it for you.

 

hell of an offer man! ill see what parts cost if theyre available. why 2 weeks later this month? hope you dont plan to catch that bug.

 

7. Replace mirrors entirely. You can get the dodge style that fold out with power adjustment on the mount that fits. The mirror extenders are tiny. The replacement mirrors give a better view of what's behind you.

Had to replace the brake booster, fluid, and rear drums on my diesel not too long ago. Might have been like 5 hours on the first side and 30 min on the second for the rotors, shoes, and cylinders. The fluid was brown, and the old booster didn't seem to seal right. Fluid life matters.
Also, I read up on brake fluids. DOT 3, 4, and 5.1 are all the same base material, but have different boiling points. DOT 5 is silicone based, doesn't compress, and is not compatible with the others or ABS. DOT 3, 4, 5.1 will all absorb water over time, and make the fluid less effective. It is similar in makeup to antifreeze as i recall.

 

@PNW/TRD Steve I think I'm set. I'll be a printing mofo here pretty quick gcodes just lined up waiting to print. Now if the abs will cooperate is a different story.



So far, I've struck out every time trying to print PETG on glass, even with glue stick. Going to try painters tape next. I can print with the included creality print sheet pretty consistent, but glass bed is just not meant to be I guess.


Also, sign #1 that you bought dog shit filament: the box and the reel of filament can't agree on the same hot end temp for extrusion.

 

Can't wait to see what you do with all that!
Haven't touched mine since the attempt at ABS. Need to tweak some settings and I think it will be fine.
Been dealing with a house project and dumping that this weekend to to go camping/hiking/off-roading!
I did order a new bed because I damaged one side of it. Also ordered to more hot ends and will be changing one of those to steel nozzle.
Also have a couple of filament dryer/storage units on order.

 

Yeah I definitely need some more hotends, and a filament dryer doesn't sound like a bad idea. Especially when I have 6 rolls sitting right there on the shelf.

 

I was looking at these

Found some I think

 

That's what I put on my Tacoma, then my dodge 1500 that came with small mirrors. I honestly don't remember where I got the mirrors for my Tacoma, but I want to say Amazon. Seems odd, but when folded in for not towing, I would use the big portion for the blind spot, and the small portion as the main looking back. I tried to adjust a few times but could never get the view I wanted otherwise.

You have to pull the interior door skin off to get the part loose that covers the mirror mount nuts.

 

trucool has worked out well for me.

 

Stupidest design ever. I've had those of and back on then turn around and take them back off again cussing them the whole way. Definitely broke some of the clips n shit in there in the process.

 

But how are the mirrors? lol

 

Great now that I finally finished the wiring and got my heated signal mirrors in.

 

Got my truck back today. Not getting rid of it, drive it till it falls apart. I got a new pro tech, too.

That being said, I have a Bestop for sale for 2nd Gen LB. it’s pretty rough. $100?

 

ill buy yours if you make a change.

 

Where'd you get that ProTech? Was it black already? Im going to low-ball a guy on one later today since it's been up for sale for 2 months, but it's polished. If I get it I'll be painting it black to match my ProTech tool box.

 

Did you have heated mirrors to beginning with? Mine don't

 

She wants $170 for them and she lives in yelm. They are $196 new online

 

Nope, it was a Muth kit that I bought from a member here about 4yrs ago. He was trading in his 2nd gen for a 3rd gen and he pulled them thinking they would fit, but the glass is just a little bit different
