What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

[Another Ahab]

Thanks SD. I think I want to do that. Well, I think I want that done, let me put it that way.


Someone here said how how many hours they took to do a dual cab. I think it was like 120-140 hours?? That sounds reasonable to me.

Sure, and when you're done you'll have a dual cab and that's cool.

Your tires are too big. I have some 14's I'll trade you for them.

Working on ugly duckling before and after of dash and inside.

Well done!

Nice job...there is a lot of detail to a dash. At least your steering wheel is not cracked and pieces missing. Looks good.

Did you change the door or camo the inside?

I think you gave the wrong paint code. That new shade of tan is too dark lol

 

[Tinstar]

Amazing what a fresh coat of paint will do.

Coffey1, is Ugly Ducking this one's name?

Looks good, I hate the tan interior, much prefer green. Liking the camoed out doors too.

Yes yes, inquiring minds would like to know...

Since when did you need to know the trucks name to swipe the keys?

 

[Coffey1]

He would have the whole truck but that big Detroit is hard to miss when started.

Yes right now it's the ugly duckling.
No key but will install a anti gimp device.

Ken I really wanted to get you to sit in those seats you gave me last year, a little TLC and some tuning made a major differance. I installed them in my 923, major improvement in the ride.

I replaced the fuel tank strainer and cap with some new ones. Both were heavily corroded and one of the sacrificial spots on the cap had started to weep. It amazes me that they used a stainless tank and skimped by using a plated steel strainer. The blue coloring inside my old cap is from the 2 stroke oil I add to compensate for the junk they sell at the pump these days. The corrosin of the cap held the color.

There is a guy down the road from me that specializes in making custom filters, using stainless media, for water processing plants. I'm going to bring my old strainer to him and see if he can copy it in stainless for a reasonable price. This is a contamination point for the fuel system since it creates rust inside the tank. Those are some fairly large rust particles on the strainer in the picture. Since moisture is a given, the new strainer will eventually suffer the same fate. I'm going to try to eliminate that with a stainless alternative.
