fiestee23's PreRunner Build

ok guys I did this a few days ago just havent had the chance to post. I put the WO fabric on my doors and I am lovin it..... Here is how I did it...

The tools I used:



1. Removed the doors (given)

2. Removed the melt points w/ blade (pain in the ass)


3. Removed the plastic panel from the door


4. Removed the old fabric (peeled back) gently try not to rip



5. Put old fabric on top of new fabric and trace around to get the same shape to cut out for install.

6. Remove all the glue residue left behind on the plastic


7. Layed new fabric over the plastic and lined up properly. Then started applying contact cement the length of the plastic about 2" at a time, applied pressure and continued that process.

8. After all front was glued, I applied more of the contact cement around the edges and put the fabric down around it.

9. Reattached into the door with #6 x 3/8 pan head metal screws and #10 flat washers just to cover the holes better.



10. And this is what it came out looking like.....

 

Very nice. I did mine as well and love it.

 

Thank-you. So far so good. I was a bit afraid of it bubbling during the few hot days we had, but its all good

 

You did a great job. It's cool that you tackled it yourself. When we getting the beer!?

 

We can get some friends together and chill. Just a crazy month for me.

 

Yea same here. Maybe next month.

 

Yeah we will fig something out.

 

Well guys today I am heading to la to feed the less fortunate. Taking the truck to a bad area and I am a little concerned. But I'm sure all will be fine.

 

go gurl ......truck will be fine

 

Downtown?

 

So we drove around la. Into the washes and under tunnels and over railroads. Behind deserted buildings and in rough areas. What an experience to say the least. Really makes u step back and appreciate the little things. They were so thankful for the things we take for granted. Shorts, pants, jackets, and shoes were given to them and 300 of them got socks and bagged lunches. Ill write more about it later with some pics

 

How do you like the N fab step bars? Do you ever catch your heel on them when stepping out of the truck? My dad has running boards on his blazer and they trip people on their way out of the truck lol

 

I LOVE MY NFABS... I think they look great and serve the purpose. I havent had anyone eat it yet..

Love the choice in stereo equipment. I just picked up some Hertz Audio 165 components as well and they easily blow away my JL's.... I love them! Nice ride chica!
