Alabama thread!

This one was driver error. Took a bad line and kept trying to gas it lol

It is, they pretty crazy

 

I ordered a mirror of Amazon to replace the one I broke, it arrived Monday, broke.



So I did the return and dropped it off at UPS and reorded another one Monday, it just arrived, broke in the same damn place.

 

But even in adverse conditions you know there is a greater chance of damage and losing control, you just do it anyway.

 

damn, thats bad luck

 

The lady I spoke with said she just locked their account because I am the forth person with the same complaint. They are in a thin box with no packing material in them to protect it.
This is the box the first one was in, the second one was mashed too but not this bad.

 

well what do they expect to happen when they are shipping glass in a thin box.

 

Right,
If it was packed in styrofoam or something but it doesn't have anything but the mirror in the box

 

This is true. When I travel 5+ hrs and have made plans and all I am not going too just not go and be a fair weather wheeler. Only place I do that is Uwharrie. But if it's a trip I'm going rain or shine.

 

@Hayden334 got em. I’m gonna paint them black before install. The quality looks and feels great! Can’t wait to get them on.

what ram mount you using for these? Like the stud mount universal for the ram mount?

 

The RAM mount ball should fit and then add whatever length arm you want

 

Yes

 

Any of you guys happen to have an old factory radio (non touch screen) laying around you want to get rid of?

Thanks man, I have to deburr and finish them more than I would like. I need to tweak the print so I don't have to do that. I sprayed mine black with regular paint. I would suggest a textured paint like bed liner or undercoating. It will look a lot better and more uniform. I used the ball mount Phil shared, the inserts in the parts are 1/4-20 threads. Also if you mark and drill your holes (7/32), drop your ac controls in and bolt it up. Super glue the nut plate to the dash. Before you put it back in the truck. Hope that makes sense lol.

Found my gloves, so the ride in was nice this morning

 

It is frigid out there. No way I could ride. Maybe if I had heated gloves

 

I used the same suit I had when it snowed in N GA. I was completely good. I didn't realize it was 32

 

sweet, ill try to get em on Sunday. Have a couple of projects lined up in the garage then.
