RMAN808's Build

Thanks man!

Nope no roughing or sanding of any kind for the console.

Just make sure to use the plastic paints for the plastic parts
and then the vinyl dye for the top armrest piece (which is vinyl)

 

Nice man! When you painted the needles green, how do you recalibrate them? And do they just pull off the cluster?

 

Thanks man!

Yup! The needles can just be pulled off the cluster. When reinstalling them, I started it cold and the temp needle is the easiest since it's just COLD. Then you can just remember about where your fuel is at.

Other than the temp, they all took some playing around with but mines okay now.

 

Cool, I'll have to do this sometime

 

how much did you pay for that? and what was the mileage? im looking for white xtracab also

 

if we dont have a season this year im gonna make rash decisions

 

Wow it's been a while since I've been active on the boards...

Got the truck serviced today for the first time since I bought it back in February!

- Oil change
- Cooling system flushed
- Brake system flushed
- Fixed the pass. side door lock assembly!!

No more having to unlock, pull, then unlock again, and then finally be able to open that pass. door from the outside

Had to post a vid of how buttery smooth it opens now Don't mind the last 15 seconds

 

Any chance you can PM me the link for the pop and lock tailgate handle you got?? Looks necessary for me

 

Here you go boss! This is where I got it. I had to wait quite a while because it was on back stock everywhere. But I'm sure they should be in stock. This site has free shipping and is priced cheaper than the actual manufacturer.

P.S. Install is simple

 

yo sweet build, did you fix the door problem yourself? I seem to have the same problem on my driver's side door at the moment...

 

Thanks man! But naw, I brought my truck in for service and had them check it out. One of their guys worked his magic and I ended up not having to pay for it to get fixed.

Super glad it's functional now though

 

I just sealed my doors up with sound deadener... it's gonna be a PITA to fix my door handles/mechanisms if I have to. And mine are very finicky with the key.

Glad to see you post... thought you were dead man

 

Wassup Cuz! how you been? Never see you on here long time!

 

Good luck with that man! Hey, I seen your new interior... looks sick man!

Haha and nope, not dead. Just swamped with school and everything. Last two semesters before graduating so I've gotta buckle down

Howzit Junya! I've been good... about 10 more months and I'm headed back to the rock stooooked!

 

10 months! damn cuz i can imagine. We go do something guarantee when you come back. I like see your truck in person!

 

hey man. hope all is well. happy holidays to ya

 

What's up Jon! Yea man I'm doing good. Home in the islands for a 3-week vacay so I'm enjoying this lil bit while I can before going back up and bustin ass for my last semester.

Happy holidays to you too!

 

hell yea! sounds like a great time. iv never been to the islands but i hope i can one day. catching up with family?

btw iv made many rash decisions since then...

 

Installed these today... then took a drive on the interstate to check for rattling/shaking. There's minor mirror shaking (driver side only) at 40 mph and then gets bad at 65+ mph. RockAuto is sending me a new one to see if this solves the issue.


Buuuuut... for now I'm rockin the Nemo look You get it?

 

Goood lookin 1st gen!
