  1. Try pulling the signal/wiper stalk out to see if the the engagement notch is intact ( rotate the wiper knob ) , also look inside for broken bits . Replacement of this part is easy , the column switch replacement is a test of patience at best . I think Shebyluv did a write up on the procedure.... :cheers:
  2. union Teamster dockman @ YRC Reimer Express in Burnaby B.C.
  3. :smart: Dimentions way too large for MJ :shake:
  4. :huh???: Now what ............ :hmm:
  5. :idea: Somewhere on the forum , there is a guy who sanded the MJ rear flares taking off the ridge nearest the body and the crease line smoothed away . Apparently the stock flare has lots of meat in those areas . The finished job looked very much the same as 97+ flares on the front . He also adapted 97+ tail-lights which really finished the update conversion nicely :thumbsup:
  6. I like the drinkin' beer and cussin' part :cheers: That's a pretty economical transformation , less than an average paint job :thumbsup:
  7. Thats a wrap .....very cool ....is it expensive ? ( DIY or Pro install ) :wavey: Welcome to CC :cheers:
  8. Photo # 1 Warm air duct to air cleaner intake . You should be able to see it from above , running beside the air intake box into a thermo vacuum activated diverterter . The other end attaches to a tin housing on the exhaust manifold . :wrench:
  9. :huh???: :huh???:
  10. Your restoration came out pretty nice :thumbsup: whats with the tow-hooks :???: are using them as a bumper gun / cue / rod rack . Just asking :yes:
  11. :cheers: Rickards Red :clapping:
  12. :chillin: 18 more to go compadre :thumbsup:
  13. Vancouver/surrey! What about you? And thank you! I'm in tunnel town (Tsawwassen) about 6 blocks from Pt. Roberts , USA where gas is only $1.08 /liter :banana:
  14. :waving: where abouts in B.C. are you ? Truck looks like its coming along pretty good :thumbsup:
  15. Very nice job :thumbsup:
  16. :???: How hard can it be , just point the rifle at it and pull the trigger , its not like its a moving target :fool: All kidding aside , unless you just won the lotto its gut wrenching process at best :cheers:
  17. Dear Santa :jump:
  18. Great job on the cover :thumbsup: Doesn't look like the channel will be neccessary , your design will work just fine . The upgrade to 2" velcro really makes sense compared to the 1" on most Factory made covers , as the cover will shrink/stretch with time and temperature ( I ended up having to put a 2nd strip on ) :cheers:
  19. Ya they will float , so I fabbed up a lock tab ( sliding window locks w/thumbscrews ) to keep them in place . Have you discovered the bed width tapers about 1" front to back ? :cheers:
  20. It mounts on top of the front box rail with opening towards the cab if you are using a sewn loop or rearward if you are using the pre-made sew on welt . The former gives a more custom look as it hides the channel .
  21. :chillin: Glad it worked out for you :thumbsup:
  22. OOH F--- , Get the bag ,get the bag :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:
  23. :shake: The world is 3 dimentional , yes the channel does fasten to the top , yes they are readily available ( all RV awning mfr.s use the same extrusion ) . Maybe the best bet is to get off your wallet and spend the extra $30 for a professionally made cover .....It will be cheaper in the long run at this rate......Good luck :wavey:
  24. Borrow the wifes hair dryer , clean the heck out of the area you plan to attach the velcro to and let the velcro set up for a day or two before subjecting it to any pressure . It's too bad we don't live closer , it would be much simpler for you to be able to see how it works rather than my lame attempt to explain / describe the details . Keep the questions coming I'll do my best to give you the best info I can :thumbsup:
  25. The channel mounts on top of the front box rail with a few small self-tapping screws , I'll dig thru my spare parts bin and try to get you a picture . It's a very common piece that you should be able to source at any RV parts store or dealer. ( feature a flat stock with a tube attached that has been cut open to form a C) ..... "--C " ...this would be the cross section , with the C facing the cab . :wrench:
