I dont know what Im doing, and its the sellers fault!!!

People take shit like this too serious.
If I ordered a custom knob and f'd up the install, with or without instructions, I would quietly tell the guy I bought it from how good it looks, order another knob from another source (so the original guy wouldn't think I couldn't find my ass with both hands) and do it right the second time.

The LAST thing I would do is post about me f'n up on Tacomaworld!

 

lol I read most of this thread, and posted my share of memes, but I did miss that

 

Maybe OP learned something today.........

 

actually, i ordered one...installed it. I'm not telling if >I< fucked up or not. But I am ordering another, from the same seller/vendor/maker/baker. Now no-one will know if I know where my ass is...its complex.

We'll see. I have a son just finishing up his MBA. Apparently him and all his friends already know everything. ..

 

Speak for yourself, some of us will never learn....

 

cuz there WASNT....damn missing sarc font <again>

 

You have to screenshot it and then italicize the screenshot. I thought we went over this already.

Did you not receive the instructions?

 

received them, just didnt read them.

 

I doubt that there are many Tacomas that haven't had something added by their owners, including me, however when you bring out the wrenches there is a risk of something going wrong no matter how slight. When you start removing or replacing parts on your truck and it starts going south there's only one place to put the blame. Not getting any love from me .

 

Is to to late to inquire as to what method was used to cut the knob off? Serious question actually. What kind of saw would be requied...

Asking for a friend

 

Sounds twisted

 

Shush you. We wouldnt want to end the "unicorn sticker" thread now, would we? lol

 

.001 thick coating on threads will lock up most threads solid. paint .001 on each side of the V on the inside thread and on the outside thread closes up the thread by .004. if cerakoting is a true embedded ceramic it is harder than both the shift shaft and the aluminium knob and will act like a lapping compound wedging as tight as a drum. No one paints threads. you want to paint threads use moly dry lube.

 

That is a bit BS. I haven't bought a knob from @7r41lbr34k3r . I did 3D print my own out of PET plastic. I made three versions and each had an issue threading on to the shaft until an

$13 M12x1.25 mm Self-Locking Nylon Insert Hex Lock Nuts, Pack of 6

M12x1.25 tap was delivered to clean up my printed threads. I could have wrenched that on there tight as fuck and been hosed as bad as the OP. Guess what, without instructions and someone nanny'ing over me, I figured it out without fucking up my Taco. I didn't blame the material peeps for the delay.

The OP fucked himself ALL by himself wrenching harder on it to align the engraving. Done.

 

For the win!
