Idaho BS thread in the PNW

The drip molding that fills in the ditches on the roof where the roof rack mounts. People have had problems with losing the drip molding on the freeway cuz it is only glued on, so I both glued it and put a screw through it. I'm in classes and work pretty much all day today or I would take better pics for you to see, but basically that is looking straight down at the front of the roof and you can kind of see the windshield in each pic.

 

thanks for sharing

 

You must of hooked up with the wrong blonde in that photo you posted last night. You're not supposed to let the big ones be on top

 

The screws are 1.5" long and the molding is almost an inch thick so they didn't go in very deep, plus I siliconed the shit out of the area around the screws so hopefully it won't leak. I think it is a better alternative to losing one of those moldings. They are over $70 a piece The screws are a pretty sure fire way to make sure it stays attached.

 

It was so ugly though... and I now have better aerodynamics which = more speed haha kidding, kidding

But seriously, I thought it was ugly. I did the day I bought it. It is almost kind of weird to see it off, but at the same time I smile when i see it without it cuz I think it looks so much better Plus I had zero use for it. I will just sell it to someone who could actually use it now.

 

damn them all to hell!

 

oh lord there is no one in this forum i dislike more that that puck ass kid

 

no 721 fuckshit asshat

I am so tempted to pull the trigger on a set of these... I wonder what I could sell my current tires for I know BigO's will take used tires but only as store credit and the one here wants about $35 more per tire than on my link below. Not sure what the policies are on getting them to buy used tires though.

Hey guys. Anyone know the name of, well its like a extending "arm". Adam i think you once told me it was an actuator? That seems kinda right but I cant find what I'm looking for. It would be controlled by a switch that can extend out to push something to a certain position, then retract back in to bring it back down.

 

Pretty sure actuator was what he called it. Didn't this come up when talking about roof lights?

EDIT: Linear actuator? Like this only I assume outside of the cab. http://www.race-dezert.com/forum/sh...ly-actuated-lightbar-setup?highlight=Lightbar

 

Yea, i had an idea for something and would use to lift the lights up, also turns out some guys building an offroad buggy for our school needed help on it so I am helping them design some stuff and that would come in handy for style points for them.

 

You might find them cheaper than this but I found this fairly quick.
