So, I'm painting some of my interior trim while doing a DIY project for the 2500 4x4 fans. Specifically the trim around the radio and full center console swap I'm doing. What I need help with, is both the paints I'm using have metallic flecks in them. I'm trying to find a clear coat to use that...
So, as I said, I'd provide updates as I can do things with recovery.
I pulled the silver trim off the center console yesterday and got the trim pieces primered and was going to paint them the metallic fleck red. Opened the cap and the nozzle had come out with no way to get it back in. So had...
It is a safe risk to take. I haven't yet seen a car thief try to figure out why a vehicle won't start. They wanna get in and get away with it as soon as possible. They aren't gonna hang around to potentially get caught. Same goes for the ones who break into vehicles, center console, glove box...
I get what both of you are saying. But in my professional experience, car thieves aren't staying long if a car won't start unless it's at night and a low light area. They go for the easy ones. Still running, stole a spare set when they burged a house/vehicle, using a scanner then push button and...
Oh, I'm sure I absolutely will. Haha. This is a project that won't happen anytime soon, but if I can realistically get everything figured out before hand and what addition parts I need specific to my truck that'll help immensely. I saw guys mentioning the cross member that was listed is no...
Awesome!! Thank you for this. This is the information I was hoping to see in that other thread. I just don't think many of the guys doing the swap have the 4x4.
I'm not sure if you saw my edit on that second post. But afterwards I got to thinking about the shifter and realized I don't think a PW specific one would be needed. My initial thought was the parts needed had to be PW specific. My comment about the lockers/sway bar was if one of those specific...
There's another member on here who posted about doing the swap in his 2014 1500 in his driveway with just hand tools and it didn't require a whole lot. Said he was gonna do a huge write up on it. I sent a PM to see if he got around to completing it.
I'm mechanically inclined to a degree, so I...
Anyone on here with a 2018 or older PW done the 8HP swap? I pretty much just read every single page of the 8HP swap on our forum and for the 2014-2018 it's a lot less expensive. Looks like no need for SGA wiring harness and some other things. Still gotta fork out money for the trans and some...
I got my center console in a few days ago and the radio bezel just came today. Still waiting on some of the spray paints I need but wanted to get things rolling on the project and post some pics.
I'm doing some modifications to the radio bezel where I'll be removing the chrome/silver trim (also...
First off, I'd like to say it's really good to be back on the forum. I kinda fell off when Tapatalk was no longer an option and the mobile web browser just got to be a hassle after a while. What brought me back was a major mod I saw @56PW17 (swapping a flow through console into our trucks) start...
No lift. With the correct backspacing on your wheels you might rub at full lock on the pitch weld only when taking a bump. I got AEV Saltas on my last 2500 and had 35s with no rubbing anywhere and it was just a standard 2500. When I got the PW those wheels and tires came with me and as soon as...
Out of curiosity, do you know if this could somehow be wired to one of the OEM aux switches in the switch panels instead of having a separate button installed?
Also, another question as I gather paint stuff... So the paint I'm using on the trim pieces from the bezel, center console, and air vents is a metal speck and I'll be clear coating it with matte. I don't think this will affect the metal speck. I don't want these pieces to be "glossy" and I can't...
So after talking with @Mpgrimm2 a little, sounds like my idea to vinyl wrap that faux leather portion won't work. So instead I'm just gonna cover it with some black faux leather upholstery. Here's what I'm gonna use. From what I can tell in pictures, it's pretty close to the stock texture on...
Yeah, it's not on Google Play. Maybe try using the Chrome Browser for a while and see if it gives you the option to download. Or contact the head people of the forum. It could be an APK file. Let me see if it's in my downloads. If so, I'll shoot you a PM and figure out how to get it over to you...
Just saw the edited part about the app question. It's something that popped up when I logged back into the forum on my Android chrome browser.
It wasn't like an add page to home or anything. It also shows up in the apps on my phone in settings.
Heres what they look like.
That's an idea I hadn't thought about as far as recovering it with a different material. From your pic it looks like it's held in by 3 tabs, unless the other white circles are also tabs which would have to be melted off.
Now you gave me another idea. Lol. If I could source some Rebel tread...
I actually just saw that today. You did a hell of a job, man! Especially with that bezel!
Since you have experience with vinyl wrap, maybe you can answer my idea above. The faux leather between the plastic trim on the doors, do you think those could be wrapped?
My bezel project is an...
