Anyone interested in replacement lug nuts for less than the Gorillas cost, a couple of us just grabbed these - one piece, good finish and feel pretty solid, working and look well on the truck. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Let me know how they hold up. My gorillas are rusting after 2 years
I designed and 3d printed a bracket to hold the little door up over the power port in my dash.
It becomes a shelf to hold a water bottle in front of the a/c vent.
My steering wheel is cocked to the right a bit after installing 3" blocks in the rear last week. I tried taking things apart and shifting the axle a little to hopefully shimmy the steering back.
I broke a ratchet strap in the process (pulling the leaf springs up towards the frame a bit to assist), so I went and bought some 10k# ratchet straps to correct my stupidity.
I ended my night stuck... I loosened the leaf bolts enough to make 'em just spin, but of course the heads are round. So, after a couple hours of PB Blaster and a torch, I still can't loosen them. Tomorrow I'll have to cut them off and just replace them so that I can put the block back in, torque things down, put the tire back on, and be done with it.
If anyone has any tips on correcting steering from a rear block install, I'm open to suggestions. With the steering tilted to the right, I figure the left rear wheel needs to come back, or the right rear wheel needs to shimmy forward.
