    How to replace side mirror glass

    I can't because of the pay to use photobucket junk. I don't even get on here anymore because of it. Just get emails on thread replies. Easiest way to get to the blinker wires is on top of drivers side fender well. The group of wires running from the firewall to the core support are the lights...

    How to replace side mirror glass

    Find the correct wire under the column area. The tail light harness is easiest to find, it literally matches a trailer harness in colors and usually is just above the harness box on the firewall. Idunno if any simpler way to describe it. You could look into a wiring diagram, but I just used the...

    Project Stock Floor Jankarādo

    I just used the inner bedside wheel tub pieces for my fillers. Barely had to bend them to get them perfectly lined up. But man your killing it! Looking amazing! Lol, your probably referring to the gaps at the floor of the wheel tubs tho.. I just used a cereal box and kept trimming it with...

    Also, once you get floor where you want it.. Use the fender well as a template for cutout of bed wall before you weld it in. It'd be a major pain in the buttocks trying to reach in there to cut it out if the fender well was attached before the wall was cut. (inside fender well, where tire will...

    Oh, and once you decide on the floor height and get it where you want it. You can use self tapping screws to secure the floor in place for welding it back. Also helps with keeping the walls from warping and pulling away from the floor when welding it also.. Especially on the front wall. Then...

    If you can't drill them out.. Just cut the lip off. I had the same problem. I don't have a 90 degree drill either, so I said fk it and just cut the lip off. Lol On mine I cut just enough to cut the spot welded part off so I'd have a tiny lip to be able to use for pliers to hold it in place...

    Yeah, they go straight across near the bottom

    Heck yeah! On the spot welds that were drilled out but still had like a sliver of metal still holding, I used an old 5in1 blade to cut/ pop them loose. They're easy to get between the metal. Lol also great for getting off old seam sealer too

    The floor once welded back to the bedsides will be structurally as it was originally. The floors weight strength is from its braces. Measure the distance between floor and top of bed rail and use that as your reference. However much you raise the floor, measure the new distance. Subtract it...

    my 98 stepside project

    The pieces sandwich the bed wall. Either cut off the flange or drill the welds out to separate it. I drilled them out and used the small section that goes into the bedside opening as my filler pieces. Already right shape lol.. And yeah, I couldn't decide how to fill the gap on the end, so I...

    When you get the floor loose, if you trim off the very end (where the gate closes).. Where the raised ribs on the floor come down and end, cut across there and it'll shorten the floor length perfect to clear the tailgate

    I just cut the lip at the fender opening, usually have to trim it anyways. Lol

    my 98 stepside project

    On welding/ shaving stuff.. Patience is a must.. Lol. Just do tacks a few inches apart and definitely take your time doing them, don't get the sheet metal too hot or it'll warp a panel in a heartbeat.. Lol I've gotten to where I'll just do a few spaced out and keep checking the panel with my...

    Red line, goes inside the corner.. Cut along the corner there. Yellow line don't go in it.. It's just seam sealer only.

    This is how they run top view. Which is inside the rear brace from the underside.

    Correction.. Sorry, on Every flat between each rib on the bed floor is two spot welds.. Lol.

    Also, where the tailgate closes.. That corner post on each side of the bed.. The floor goes into it, just at the sides facing each other

    I don't have pics of them, but if you wipe the inside of the brace with your fingers.. Not clean it, but just to smear the usual filth there.. It'll reveal the spot welds. They are in pairs, one toward front and towards the back literally lined up with each other. They run in pairs, I wanna...

    I looked at it a little this afternoon, there is a crease pointing towards the cab on the flange at the curve.. I was able to pull some of it down by hand. Kinda thinking that it might just be pushed up. The Sport had a complete drop suspension kit on it.. And low profile tires on some wide...
