The shop that did mine used stick on weights on the inside if the wheel, however I'm thinking about using beads next time aswell.

Well just moved the wife's care from under the car port and put my truck under it. Time to change riverside window regulator..... again. I changed it right after I got it, but not realizing the track/run was ****ed up I messed up the regulator aswell. Atleast I don't have to drill the rivots this time...


oh and I get Fred's help!

Well got the new regulator in. Realized when the metal tabs were put back in the window they were put on in the wrong spots so I've got to get those off, or replace the window I guess.

I also pulled the IAC off and cleaned it, hole that fixes my random low/rough idle.

Scored on a fender, door, and hood.


Pulling the front bench to measure for brackets. Broke out the heater again, so it's nice and warm in the shop... if anyone's feeling bored.

PIC HEAVY SORRY

Thanks James. I thought I did pretty well. That wasn't all to Saturday though. Bob showed up and we ended up building a mount for the seats for the truck. I think now that we have measurements, if we did it a second time we'd have it looking perfect. But I think we did a pretty good job with scrap metal.

That was a good day, and some well needed shop therapy.
And we did end up with what you wanted to accomplish

Well it looks like Saturday I'm going to swap driver side windows on my truck. Turns out the tabs on the window were glued back on about 1.5" to far forward by the previous owner. When I bought it the rear tab was off, so I put it back on with glass epoxy where it was. Well when I put the new regulator on it last weekend I realized the regulator was "bottoming out" at the end of the slide just before half way down.

Hopefully after this I will have a fully functional driver aide window, that'll be new motor/regulator, and window run/track.

Hopefully it will all come together for you Larry.

I'll actually be in town this weekend. Got my kids all weekend. Kim is going out of town.

I'll have a few hours free Saturday morning if anyone needs any help.

Otherwise I'm going to tinker around the house.

I'd like a hand pulling the bed out from behind the truck this weekend if you feel up to it.

Depending on what is going on around here then, I could possibly sneak out for a bit!

I'd be glad to help. My window is Saturday morning early as you want to lunch time. I'll send you a text. Do I need to bring any tools?
