If you buy a door, it does not come pre-painted. You still will have to take it to a body shop or your dealer's body shop to get it painted. Do your home work before you select a body shop. ALOT of shops cannot get parts as fast as a dealership can. If this shop is loaded with cars in partial...

That is pure rubbish, Sardine. You have been in your can too long. My chiropractor treats current players from the NFL, NBA, NHL, and Xtreme Sports teams. I guess quackery is a good route to go if you want to earn millions of dollars.

They do like nice. But they don't seem to work!?! :p

You need to see a chiropractor. Your symptom is typical of a hip misalignment. That causes your legs to shift unevenly to handle the gas/brake pedals. Your spine compensates and your muscle pull. Then you have a sore back for a long time because you keep repeating the cycle. In a former life, I...

Looks like GM is using high schools students to design their vehicles. I am still waiting for their Firebird IV from 1960 to hit production.

This could be an endless thread. Clear Coat: A 1.5-2 millimeter single layer of plastic (acrylic or acrylic blend) over the pigment layer on the car. Because it is atomized-sprayed and then baked, it ends up with pores (micron size potholes). Those pores collect and/or catch environmental gunk...

Helm also provides USB on almost all their materials. CD's shouldn't be a problem. So many DVD/CD external reader options out there for computers, phones and printers. What are your restrictions that you can't use a CD? You don't have a friend with a printer?

I am glad that is new for you. I would be concerned if you did it regularly. 🤣

Nice DIY job. That's a good use of your garage space. . Did you consider using felt or carpeting on the boards to avoid scratching the tops? As the pine dries out, it will become more abrasive. Or you could store the panels in their storage bags. It will also help keep them clean while stored...

Seems more like a Defender contender.

That's an adhesive, not a spot weld. Spot welds don't leave perfectly round holes when they fail. Nor do they leave rust in the melt zone. It would take a LOT more force to break 4 spot welds as suggested. The holes are designed to be filled with the adhesive to form an underside retention...

Turn Offroad, members have given a lot of good feature suggestions, some of them in conflict with others. A couple might be a fools errand. Here's my suggestion. Road testing is what a fabricator does. Wind tunnel testing is what an engineer does. You have some in your neighborhood. ACE...

For our clever rebels, going doorless allows free stop and search of your vehicle by any law enforcement person in any US state or possession, as upheld by US Court of Appeals in Horton v. California, 496 U.S. 128 (1990). So how private and free are you now? And thank heaven there are shoe...

The thermoset plastic roof is a fiber reinforced polyvinyl with (esstentially) a corrugated cardboard core. It's super difficult to chemically bond without using heat. JBWeld, adhesives, or resins will only hold temporarily, and won't form a water-tight seal. You can use a mechanical repair to...

According to Ford, you can only carry aerogel on your rack. I couldn't find any technical data from Gobi for the Badlands configuration. How much weight do you plan to carry on the rack? BTW - those wheels look great.

Where do you buy this "newspaper" stuff?

This is a big YAWN. DARPA did this challenge 19 years ago. Is Jeep just getting around to it? So , who is this intended for? Would you want to trust your $100K+ vehicle to a computer some video gamer programmed? These navigational autonomous systems all suffer from the lack of deep-depth...

That is a smart idea. My welding (and grinder) skills are adequate to do that, but I don't have the time and space for fabricating that. Wish I did. Thus my search for "store bought" components. My other issue is I am not thrilled with the winch bumpers out there. Seems to be a lot of...

I saw that setup and liked the buffer tank idea, but not the kit price. The buffer tank helps keep the voltage draw steady, which is better for the battery. Doing a rheostat circuit off the alternator isn't worth the effort. I am contemplating getting a 2L inline buffer tank and plumbing lines...

True. And that was the edited version. We are sold stuff that seems cool, but badly engineered, or not even engineered. You can read it all over this forum. We are pissed at Ford for "not engineering this right" - and cry warranty, but let all the other vendors off the hook. I think it...
