Think my shoes were like $50-60 (I get commercial discount as well)
Yep we pay more thats for sure, if I could get parts for what you guys pay for parts I would be working on the next project by now. The old drums where past cutting no meat left.

Just some pix of said parts.

Think I found my water source.

Even though I have condensate flow to the outside world, there is a small trickle from the condensate tube on the inside at the firewall.

Is the tube a separate part, or a molded part of the box?
What path does the condensate take from the inside of the box to the inside of the firewall?

On closer investigation today, it looks like the condensate might be tracking along the bottom of the condensate tube, and going between the tube and the firewall grommet, hitting the back of the box and dripping down on the inside of the firewall.

I think I might try putting a tywrap around the condensate tube outside of the firewall... the water should hit the tywrap and drip from there.

Make sure it is clear first, then just put a 90 degree elbow on it. I think the condensate literally gets blown back into the cab.

Finished off a good section of the dashboard today

Guess I shouldn't have thrown away that old dash carpet....

I have good condensate flow, but did probe the tube to make sure there was nothing partially clogging it... there wasn't.

An elbow sounds like a good idea.

Got to drive it today Even better it was offroad! We had a whole ton of grass, sticks, branches leaves and their ilk to get rid of, so we took all my scrap out of the bed, loaded all the sticks and everything in and took off. Apparently theres a small trail entrance on my road i had no idea about! So we went back there, emptied the stuff out and I went and drove around a bit, got the 4x4 goin as well. Didnt need it , it just hadnt been used since I took insurance off it in february I think it was. Pics will be in the picture thread shortly

God knows what my dash really looks like, its got a plastic cap over it that's duct taped on because the black instrument bezel is cracked as well. so I covered all that up with a carpet dash cover that's held on by velcro.

You poor guys with no dash.
Granted, mine has a giant hole in it. Still got that piece floating around my desk here somewhere. lmao
