Sill-Glyde? Anything like Astroglide? LoL

On that note, friends have given me a hard time when they see that I keep a tube of KY in my tool chest. I use it on O-rings, especially fuel injectors. It help lubricate when installing them and is water based and not oil based that will eventually dry them out and cause them to crack

Im not sure what happened to the exposure on the first picture, but I just got done taking off the roof rack. Right now I’ve got the bolts run back in with toyota FIPG sealing them to the roof to hopefully prevent leaks, which is ugly as hell, but what I’m gonna do is get some black ABS filament for my 3D printer and whip up some caps to cover them. That’ll purdy it up just fine.
I think it looks a lot better anyway how it is but that’ll be the finishing touch

I know 3D printing is fun, but I got a whole assortment of snap-in caps and various sizes of plastic rivets off Amazon for $9. I've replaced a handful of missing rivets holding splash shields and other parts on my girl's car and some I tore when I removed the fender liners on the Tahoe.

I painted the caps for the roof rack delete but decided on a different route. The caps are still stabbed in this cardboard and stored on a shelf. Not sure what I'll do with them.

I installed my splash guards over the weekend. I feel the end result is acceptable. Since I didn’t want to cut up the ends of my running boards just yet I ended up going a different route. What I did was sort of reform the ends of the running boards with my heat gun. I gained about 3/8” that way and then slid the boards back about 1/2”. Got just enough clearance to put the guards on. They have a slight static rub when they articulate but not much. Looks good to me.

Here is the factory board end.

Here is the modified end.

Here is how they fit up with the boards.

Final product minus a much needed wash.

Hehe. I got a similar set from Amazon:


WINOMO 500Pcs Car Door Trim Panel Clip Fasteners Universal Mixed Bumper Rivet Fastener Clip Assorted Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076BRH7JZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_5.EsEbXK3PC6C

Been used many times already! Pretty handy.

Any of you guys that have dealt woth terrible front end noises- what did you check for? I’m looking at all the pivot points and nothing seems to be worn or leaking. It had all new control arms and ball joints put in 25,000 ago. Its been getting a little worse but only really in parking lots. We just did 5 hours on the highway and some back roads and it doesnt make any damn noise then, handles and drives fine, but you get in a parking lot and it sounds like an elephant walking across a 100 year old hardware floor

Cleetus & Cars was a lot slower than expected. I should’ve registered the Tahoe. Still, gives me motivation so get the LSA blower installed. Should be in the 11s when all said and done. Enough to beat most of the corvettes/mustangs/camaros I saw
