I probably will not do a complete write up on this mod as others have already done so on this site here: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f10/door-seal-fix-surgical-tubing-11515/

What I will do is post up comments on anything different I find, How I actually accomplish the task as there are a few ways to do it. I think I may start by trying some liquid silicone lube rather than the spray. Maybe saturate a small rag and hold around the tube as it is being pulled into the void. Others posted of doing it dry or using baby powder.

Truck goes to RPG / Raceco today for more goodies

Looking forward to seeing what new stuff gets added by RPG!

More goodies arrived. First Class Mail from Fl, arrived in 2 days.

Very impressed with the quality, Rubberized grip and locking blade of this Swiss made folding tool. It even has a NATO part number. $18.92 delivered from MRO Center. part number is Snap-On 396-LAP





A nice addition to trail tool kit, and would have saved me from some rather nasty scratches from the last run, that is if we spent the time to clear it lol! it was fun just blasting thru it.

great write up. love what you've done to the truck

Thank you, more to come...

Was at Home Depot yesterday picking up stuff for completion of Honey Do project, when I stopped to look for gloves. Want a pair for the trail, not too heavy, not to light. Used mechanics gloves while trying to hack thru some brush on recent pre-run, they were almost useless to thorns.

Lots of choices:


But these simply stand out for what they stand for and look like they might work out well:

5 pak of rollers $9.47 - suppose to be the better value


yet the 2 pack is only $2.48 do the math and 5 equals $6.20

Sure hope its a receptionist, getting hold of Jarrett is like getting hold of someone that owes you money.

I'm sorry Cub, we are finally getting caught up with everything and I've been all over the place. We are looking at brining on another person to man the phones when I'm out and about. I'll be in the shop at 9am tomorrow and will give ya a call.
