Got the Realtree Headliner done finally. Looks Pretty good but the back corners are starting to sag. (Cheap adhiesive?) Also got the new Kenwood and window tint done today. 17% both sides.

 

T-9...
Tomorrow is payday. After paying bills, the rest gotta go to the truck!

Tonight I clearcoated my drivers lower door jamb/rocker, resolving a flaw that's been there since I bought the truck. Then I washed it and used scratch x to remove some guckus on the paint.
Touched up the drivers side inner plastic fender.
It's getting close, but I believe I'll make it.

 

from the pics I would say not only do we have the same choice in headliners, but also in radios. Sorry to hear corners are sagging, did you wrap the board?

I used that orange can with the blue top from Advance and followed the directions to a T. I am talking 3 coats applied in opposit directions 5 minutes between coats. It took me 2 FULL cans just for the headliner. Had to go get more to do the visors.

 

Hey you get the credit, I saw yours and said "Hell yeah, that's bad!" Now for Radios, if you mean the Kenwood, just got it. The connex has been around about 6months. I was told by the woman at the fabric store that the "krylon spray adhiesive" MY A$$! It's all sagging now and going tocome down tomorrow. I'll look into that Advance Adhiesive. Thanks

 

mnewbolds, I meant the Kenwood, I put that same radio in about 3 months ago,

Someone else might have a better idea, or know more, but my headliner is holding tough so far through a Florida summer, and i park outside all day at work. I wrapped about 3 inches pretty much all the way around. Some of the inside corners I had to pull and work and overlap, but just like that video on here I started in the center with it all folded in half and worked in one direction till the end then started again in the middle back the other way. Then I came back the next day to do the wrapped parts so that it had all night to set up before i put back right side up. Then gave it the rest of that day to cure before I put it outside in the heat.

Atleast you were smart enough to buy 6 yard, I have to go back to get more so i can do the doors and it is about 30 min away.

 

T-8...
Ordered new front shock bushings and boots and bought my clearcoat, tips, and pipe to build my adapters.
Also bought a grille off ebay.
Cut the pipes and have them ready to weld.
Painted my plastic bumper steps.

 

frist off dsertdog (and i think i can say this for all of us)... we want sum pics!!!! form the show


now me i drove back form Lawrenceburg, IN(didnt see purlp cuting grass no were) to dayton in less the a hour i was moving along

i think the truck get's better mpgs with bp gas and also the stock box

 

That's about the same technique I used, I just think the adhiesive I used wasn't up to the task. At least now I have plenty of practice removing and instsalling the trim and handles. . I hadn't seen the video you refered to so I'll look for it. Love the Kenwood though, I've got my Ipod on Shuffle All so I never touvh the radio anymore. Just let it play and shouldn't hear the same song for about 2weeks or so. 80gig!

 

ok got gas today after my trip yesterday so 133mile about 125 of them beening hwy at 70-75mph i got 18.1 mpg on bp gas, stock air box with "paper fliter"(dum i know) 50mmtb, no cat with 3.92 gear and 30.5 tires
