PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

I can believe it.
It’s not just the composite boards.
It’s the hardware and fasteners too.

 

On another note, my uncle's old house in Myrtle Beach (he lives in Murrell's Inlet now) had a conventional wood deck; I asked him why the house didn't have Trex, and my aunt said that only real wood can be used due to the extreme heat in South Carolina.

 

I would know, all it took was for me was pricing composite to loose interest in it.
Sure, it’s nice. But not when I am buying it.

 

If you have these 3 tools drum brakes are a lot easier:



You should try it on the front of the car:



Then you need to clean and repack the wheel bearings:



A bearing packer makes the job "less bad"...

 

Or necessary.

 

You know Charlie, there is another option. Fix your truck, sell it, buy this:

Very tempting, but I don't like buying vehicles without a test drive; I've driven a Mitsubishi Delica L300 before, and I'd imagine that a HiAce is even nicer...

 

My very generous offer of $300 still stands

 

You can have the stereo and speakers for $300; I will not include the subwoofer and amplifier in that price...

 

Yep fun stuff, l've had 4 wheel drum vehicles too.

 

I don’t have any of those. I did it the “wrong” way. With pliers, vice grips and a big screw driver.
The biggest accomplishment was finishing the job with no loss of blood.

 

I had a pair of needlenose pliers slip off the damn spring before, lots of cussing and blood, lol.

 

Me too.
And it does make it any easier when you have your head turned with one eye closed and the other open just enough to see what you are doing. I even put on my safety glasses, and I was still nervous.

 

The tools are only about $15 for all. The hard way just isn't worth extra the effort to me. ^^^

 

I would not mind calling for an Uber and getting picked up in this...

 

Austin FX4 built between 1958-97 in various forms.
The signature sound of the diesel engine is often heard in older British TV shows and movies.

 

I think l remember seeing one on Benny Hill, lol.

 

Side mirror sticker!

 

I cleaned off the glass, so I don't know why applying the sticker is such a pain in the ass...
