Yup it was easy. Measure twice, drill the mounting holes, cut out about a 1/2" inside the mounting holes, and rivetted them in.

 

when installing hood vents/louvers do you need to worry about water getting in the engine bay when it rains or whatever?

 

a bit - just make sure your electrical sensor connections are sealed with dielectric grease and you should be fine

 

Well, I just posted this in my build thread, but I figured I would share it here. I built a manual hatch strut for the driverside mounts, and had to work with it a little extra because the welded nut broke off the inside of the body. Since I lack a welder and what not, I took a different approach. The passengerside strut remains, and helps lift the hatch when I go to open it, and then I lock the manual strut. So far, works like a charm, and the trim didn't need to be cut or anything.

 

Anyone have a link to the post where a bed liner was put on the head liner?? Mine is starting to peel away and I wanted to do this mod.

 

you mean like this?

Thanks for the quick reply. That might be it, but I could have sworn the head liner itself was bed lined and not the actual roof.

 

this my just be me back i think thatd look like crap and be really had to do. (look like crap as in bedliner on fabric?)

 

Not on the fabric, on the partical board backing

 

I think it would be hard to keep it on the roof with out dripping I just did the bedliner on the floor and it turned out great but yeah hard to keep it from dripping down

 

I think he would take it out, atleast I hope he would. I've seen it done on the headliner board and it didn't look to bad, but I just don't see the point.

 

Yes I'm going to take it down to use the spray on bed liner. I was also thinking of putting some great reflecting material on roof before putting the head liner board back in place since I live in the desert and outside temps reach 110 degrees plus.

 

So I tried DashCam v1.0 today. 3M wall-hanging tape with the camera attached directly to the dash. It held extremely well, but had lots of vibration and noise from the lens cover rattling.
Plan for v2.0 is to use the 3M tape to attach a soft sponge to the dash. I'll run a 1/4" carriage bolt up through the sponge and screw the camera down using the tripod mounting point.

 

Added some more to the rear area, found this dog gaurd thing on clearance at an auto parts store and it rang up at $0.67 and I paid as quick ad I could lol. I reinforced it with some 3/4" emt and made my own plates for the ceiling and used washers and nuts to hold them down. Pretty fun.

 

Must be orielly's lol, we had one at work on clearance I was gonna grab but someone else grabbed it. I have another idea I'm gonna try.
