That vinyl is tough as heck. How'd you sew it?
Neighbor has an old commercial sewing machine from the 40s. Stout needle would go through four layers of vinyl, velcro, and zipper without trying hard.That vinyl is tough as heck. How'd you sew it?
The skins were installed by the POWhere did you get the x-door skins?

Those quick disconnects are garbage and will leak when you least expect it. The only time you have to disconnect that line is to change belts or a major repair... My new quick disconnect lasted about 4 months and started leaking on a 80 mile trip. I'll keep the old style without a doubt.Next time you mess with that hose, install the quick detach coupler. You'll be praising yourself for that official mod every time you look at it. Makes it possible to quickly disconnect the clutch without losing any fluid or needing to bleed the system.

I replaced my pads without removing the half shaft, but it was TEDIOUS and a lot of hassle. Removing the half shaft just means you can drop the rotor out of the way and reach things a little easier. It is possible, and since we're hobbyists and our time is worthless, it's not essential to rip so many things out to effect some repairs.Second question: The TM states that when replacing the front, driver's side brake pads (only for that side), the half-axle must be removed.
Is this true? Why? What's the interfering component?
What you say makes sense except that the holes seem to be rather randomly placed. They are definitely crudely torn and jagged edged.the holes in the floor were put there as a field mod in almost every truck . To let water out of the thing. since you can never make them water tight.
Most of the holes I've seen look like the were made with the end of a pick then opened up with the other end.
Lots of things would be nice, but they trust 18 year olds with guns, not power tools, and no authorization to use tools to perform unauthorized modifications to vehicles anyway.What you say makes sense except that the holes seem to be rather randomly placed.

In any case, I expect the inspector to make noise about them, so I need to clean them up and plug them for the inspection. I can always remove the plugs later.
I ain't saying you're wrong but it would have been nice if the people making these mods had spent 30 seconds with a hole saw chucked in a drill instead of just tearing the floor pan open. It's aluminum, for cryin' out loud. Soft as butter.

More than a few people have reported the extra drain holes in their trucks are 5.56 diameter, or 7.62.
Every military truck is issued a pick / Maddox, ax, shovel, sledge. not so much with a hole saw and cordless drillWhat you say makes sense except that the holes seem to be rather randomly placed. They are definitely crudely torn and jagged edged.
