Did he replace the fabric? How close was the match? Mine has tan interior and the drive seat is bad as well. I would think the pattern cloth would be difficult to match for a 99.

The best stuff ever. hahahah


Other day I also finally got a spare tire that was within reasonable size difference. I guess 17" 5x5.5 wheels are just not that common? Picked up a steel used one from an All Dodge Recycling yard. 2nd Gen 1500s come stock with 16" wheels, except the OREs. THen found a used 35" Pro Comp MT tire. This is much better than the 16" 50 mph limited 265 (i think) stock spare, you think?

No, the leather/vinyl was okay, but the foam underneath was worn out.

Did some more sanding. That's a lot of darn work! Gaining a whole new respct for those that do paint and body work for a living!

While sanding 2K primer, I am seeing some orange peel. Anyone know what casues that? It is not an issue on the primer as the coat is thick enough to sand out, but I am concerned about this when I spray base coat.

Pulled a mid 70's Ford F-250 out of the mud.
He was stuck right at the pavement.

That kinda looks like the gas station at Nyak
Man I wanted to hit the snow bad this weekend but my back is giving my fits.

Pollock Pines, which is at about 5000'. Snow level was about 6500' that night.

Now it's roughly 2000'. Going up today again.

Get a heat pad.

Sure does, and to my surprise it actually added a little more pep down low.
