    What have you done to your square lately??

    I finished installing the door panels and trim. That wraps up the interior except for the lmc heavy duty matt. I will report back. Then I cussed out the FNG! It seems he took all the sheet metal out back to the scrap yard for beer money. That included the hold down bolt and bracket for my...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    We have done my entire truck in parts painted off. We are asymbling painted parts. The trick to this method is " make damn sure you have enough paint upfront and mix it all so it is one big can of the same color. Eric

    Anyone have a good experience with Brothers Trucks?

    So the vent window rubbers that are 1 piece are nearly " unobtanium". All the suppliers seem to be playing games to some extent. Just be sure to check if item is in stock or out prior to ordering. Even that is no garantee. There are many threads on here about the vent windows and asst...

    LMC Headliner question

    So I installed my lmc headliner last night. It looks great. It is a three person job, lol. The visor triangles were no biggie, workable. The cab light was a non starter. It is off center of the factory light, and the hole is to big, so you can not wiggle the light over. I am installing a...

    Are shims still needed after cab mount replacement?

    I was at work and missed the party, lol The porta power was used to correct a tweaked frame horn. It reared its ugly head when we tried to fit the hood. Took measurements and yup, its tweaked. My point was kinda like, I was the second owner of this truck and always thought it had been...

    Painting 2-tone / std cab / 8ft bed

    1 other thing I will add is to read and understand your product line. If mixed or reduced or not hardened correctly, it will be a costly " do over ". Every product line is simillar but differnt. Eric

    Are shims still needed after cab mount replacement?

    After trying to re install my front clip, we took a porta power to both sides to help with alignment. This stuff is not as easy as any video you watch. They cheat, big time with time lapse and editing. Being patient is key, and if pissed off do something else for a while and come back to it. Eric

    Painting 2-tone / std cab / 8ft bed

    1 gallon of paint with reducer to go with for main color. 2 quarts of each accent color with reducer. At least 1 gallon of primer. 2 quarts of sealer. What color sealer you use has a big impact on final color. At least 1 gallon of clear, watch your anticipated clear coat application temp...

    Dash Pad Install

    The quality on these dash pads seem to be all over the place. It took me 3 hours to get mine to fit correctly, I cut and bent **** to get that far. One thing I found out is that if you installed new speakers when the pad was off, the new ones do not sit flat in the brackets. Eric

    Any upgrade 'hacks' to the stock heater blower fan?

    I put one big sheet of the insulation from Summit in each of my doors and you could tell the difference even without the door panels on. Eric

    What have you done to your square lately??

    In the interest of full disclosure, less some of you lot feel under appreciated for the work you are doing personally on your rigs. My rig is at a pro shop. 4 people are working on it. 1 painter, 1 body man, a part time apprentice, and a drunk helper. Guess who I am? I am the drunk helper...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Looks good! I am starting on the bed next week. The good news is mine is shorter than yours = less real estate to deal with. We should do a PSA on those vent window video's. Do not believe anything you see or here. I was glad to get the new rubber cause I really needed them, but what crap! Eric

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Another 20 hours and 3 twelve packs later. lol That guy from the Brothers video online rebuilding the vent windows can kiss my a$$. With the one piece rubbers I was lucky to get, the quality was sketchy and the time involved to get them fitted and installed in the doors was horrendous! The...
