    Probably already know this but make sure to have someone inside the cab with a wet towel putting out hotspots while welding those holes back up. The carpet padding is quite flammable and I BBQ'd my truck before I knew what was even happening. Thought something in the engine bay was smoking and looked up to see flames on the inside of the windshield. Lucky I was able to put it out and didn't burn down the truck and the house but still had to cut out and splice in all new wires and replace the HVAC ducts

    I firmly believe all carrier services look your name up and intentionally send your packages on scenic routes

    Previous Broheim owner placed the TRD decals on the side of the bed in a laughable spot.

    When I was buying the truck from him he was proud about them, as if all TRDs didn't come with them. When he mentioned it a third or fourth time I clapped back, "sweet... you only missed the placement by 9"." My girlfriend was appalled. Broheim said he was trying to make it look like a 3rd gen TRD Pro. :rolleyes:

    Finally got around to removing the decals as I didn't want everyone thinking I was responsible.

    Mine's got the same decal placement. The decals are peeling. It's a standard cab 4-cyl (without locker, in case it's not obvious enough yet).

    I just chuckle to myself when I look at them.

    I did not know this. Very very helpful information. NOT Catching the cab on Fire would be ideal.

    A question from the peanut gallery that I came up with while outlining the driver side cab chop locations.
    As i see your photo here with your manual transmission. - did you have any kind of weird problems with the clutch pedal and moving the firewall back??? Because it looks as if it's gonna be a close quarter situation.

    @45acp and I almost set my truck on fire when welding the Forester seats. We were even “smart enough” to have wet towels surrounding the area.

    Rantanen surpasses 50 goals while MacKinnon extends his 100 point season.

    AF5D1BAC-5EDF-4104-902F-AA5A7336DA7F.jpg

    Meanwhile the Nuggets bench is hanging with the Suns in Phoenix. However it is not the 4th quarter yet.

    Edit: 4 - 2 Avs
    Rantanen with the Hat Trick. MacKinnon scored.

    Avs looked good tonight to start but this 3rd period has been sloppy...

    PS fuck Denver sports team owners for getting subsidized stadiums and not coming up with a suitable way to broadcast the games... I guess it would be fun to watch the teams have success....

    Got it. Gracias.

    Auxillary question. What gauge steel did you use? or would be recommended

    don't remember, 16 gauge?

    Oh yeah, get a tube or two of 3m body sealer. After you weld everything up coat both sides of the weld and use a glove to spread it and make sure it's all covered. If you have any pinholes it will make sure you don't have any water intrusion
