Hank Hill- " I'm not sewing. I'm upholstering which is 1 of the 5 original industrial arts.

I just finished making custom blinds for my Snug Top Hi-Liner. I used a roll of reflective insulation, some out door water resistant material (camouflage which will face outside), and flannel fabric (facing on the inside).

Next project- build a bed box frame to go around the wheel well.
Is there a thread for camper shell set ups and ideas?

Camo and flannel? 10,000 Man Points!

So after swapping to the urethane hangers and driving for a few days I have noticed that they have added a decent amount of exhaust volume both inside the cabin and out. I've only ever installed urethane hangers before when installing a new exhaust system, so I haven't noticed the differences just based on the hangers themselves and I am pretty surprised at the change (though, now that I think about it, I did notice the same change on the Supra after adding the other one of these). I really didn't expect them to do much except be red, so this was kind of a shock to me. I am really liking how much more aggressive it sounds outside, but not loving how it sounds inside, just a little bit too noticeable and I really don't like having a truck that is annoying to be in. My options were to revert the hangers back to stock or install the Helmholtz chamber that MF includes with the kit that was sitting on the shelf. It seemed faster and easier to install the chamber than to wrestle with removing urethane hangers (even with the fancy Lisle pliers), so last night I threw that on and then went on a test drive to see how it was. As advertised, this addition cancelled out about all of the new droney frequencies, but I can still hear the exhaust at startup and while accelerating. The truck is much nicer to be in with that extra resonator in place so I think this is how it will stay. I really like having a quiet and comfortable cabin, and it might even be quieter at cruising speed than before which is a welcome change. I am still on board with swapping out the last few hangers, but still on the quest to find a 3-hole hanger that will be suitable for the rear as it is a somewhat unique design.

I swapped out all of mine for 12mm Kartboy pinks. Definitely increased exhaust noise in the cabin. I never could find a solution for the three hole rear so I just cut it off and made it a two hole hanger. Because Race Car!

That makes me feel a little less crazy. The 2-hole hanger should be fine, it's really not supporting much weight, especially with the shortened MF that terminates just over the axle. Still going to try to find a proper one but this might happen as well for me.

I am curious if this one might fit, but they don't have any size specs posted. I shot them a message to see if they will share the specs.

"voici" also could apply .. "here it is" as opposed to "there it is" ("la"--there versus "ici"-here").

Just to be a PITA.

Rocket23 · Jun 11, 2025 at 1:22 PM

Well. I have the stock hangers. And my truck resonates ( for lack of a better term). On start up and acceleration. But is quiet at idle. @RichochetRabbit
I thought it was “bing bing bing”?!

Maybe. I will have to investigate that ... it has been a while since I watched it.

I think voilà is the word you're looking for lol. It's a French interjection meaning 'there it is'.

But the neighbors might not like it. The old man would, however, laugh. Guaranteed.

Had cracked windshield replaced. Then went to local dealer to get new rubber for the passenger side wiper. Nope, don’t sell the rubber; comes with entire blade assy for ~ $30.

Stopped a little too long to look at Taco TRDPro, meaning sales lady appeared (I think they have trap doors on the showroom floor). I’m sure there’s good (meaning they know their product line) sales people but this wasn’t one of them. Pleasant enough but not a clue about the truck. There’s something going on in the seatbacks of the front seats - figured has something to do with controlling the ‘bounciness’ during off-roading. Two each per seat, pressure gages, valves - seemed WAY TOO MUCH going on for whatever benefit they may/may not provide.

Sticker: $68K and change.

No, thanks. As an aside, the lot was empty of non-trucks (well, I think there were 2 Priuses (Pri-i?)).

Correcto!

85214-0E140 Windshield Wiper Inserts - Rubber Insert / This is the right hand side insert
85214-04030 Left Front Windshield Wiper Insert - Rubber Insert / Obviously this is the left hand insert

$7.80 each

Why the 'right side insert' isn't in the part# description is anyone's guess. This info is from a dealer website online parts lookup.

You are an expert at this with a long history of true ability of solenoid-whispering. Even carrying the Jeep Ankh for months, truly a sign of a Guru.

And you're so right, like a badass, I was laughing so hard (inside) when his car started, he was so amazed, that when the other neighbor finally came back over to get the 'status' update, he picked up a tool to recreate the motions so the other neighbor could really understand what happened right before his amazed eyes.

You used to be able to just buy new starter solenoid contacts instead of replacing the whole starter. Did it on my Camry once. Good luck finding the parts now though. Even then I ordered them online and just kept banging on my starter until they came
