Great video man! I'm looking to do the same in my 08 Quad Cab Ram. What is the best way to remove and reinstall the headliner from the truck? I'll have the seats out as well so was planning to go sideways through the front doors maybe.
@ethanwingsit9 күн бұрын
100% I went sideways through the doors with the seats still installed and just reclined and lower all the way. Had to bend it a little but nothing too bad. Biggest pain was the center console

Now that's been on for a while, does the headliner feel hard to the touch?
@ethanwingsit16 күн бұрын
You can definitely tell it’s not just the original fabric due to it being stiffer. I installed the starlight kit as well so I don’t touch a headliner much since the fibers are pointy but would expect the fabric to feel different to the touch after painting

I just went through a water heater replacement, and considered on-demand electric. I would *strongly* recommend *against* it, *especially* if you're in Pennsylvania (which is what I assume your mention of 'PA' referred to). The inlet temperature that you get in the winter means you will need to have an *enormous* unit to supply hot water to a house of this size, something like a 36kW model is only rated at 3.7gpm at a 65 degree rise. When your inlet temperatures gets into the 40s in the winter, that is potentially even lower. Then there's the draw; that 36kW unit is running 4x40A double-pole breakers that can *easily* consume a huge chunk of your panel budget on standard 200A home service -- with that 65+ degree rise in the winter, it'll be running basically full tilt to supply a standard flow shower + a hand sink -- add in other electrification like an induction stove, heat-pump based HVAC, a L2 EV charger... Unless you've got 300 or even 400A service, you're likely going to be stretched thin at best, and even if you've got the panel capacity the flow at 65 delta is... rough. f you want on-demand, I would look into gas. Otherwise, the obvious ecological option is a heat pump electric -- the recovery time isn't as good, so you may need to oversize on capacity as your family grows, or have a supplemental storage tank, but hey. Note that interior-drawing ASHP water heaters will have a volumetric requirement for the room they're in, so make sure that is met; otherwise, there *are* exterior unit models. That said, maybe I've completely mis-judged your situation, I'm just a stranger on the Internet. Just my 2c.

Howdy friend! I always appreciate feedback as many of the projects I do I am very much learning on the fly haha good news is that the majority of the house will be powered by gas being the furnace, water heater, stove, dryer(I’m probably forgetting something) so it sounds like that aligns with your recommendation but this is a great comment for others watching this video and thinking about going full electric!

Should really just get corrugated accuvents they're only 2.59 a piece. If you do it like the left side you need to cut the batt smaller and put paper out. If you do it like the one on the right you need to spray foam the bottom and sides up to insulation level to avoid wind washing. If there isn't enough space at the eve for r-49 you need to leave the hose there and dense pack the eve for higher r value or else you get melt.

The reason Liftmaster only supplies one bracket instead of two is that absolutely no jackshafts and couplers will be perfectly aligned. This allows the unit to wiggle around enough to make sure that shaft runout will not break things. What you've done by installing two brackets on the opener is force the frame of the opener to flex to accommodate shaft runout. Why on Earth did you do this?

I’ve had good results on multiple vehicles using SEM. I went from a light poop brown everything to a two tone black and gray. The results were amazing. I painted seats and carpet with SEM and it took out (covered up) stains and discoloration. I didn’t know at the time to use adhesive promoter but it turned out great.

Have been going through same operation on my RX8. Also bought a large tote from Wally but instead of using Eastwood products. Just grab Concrete prep from a hardware store, I use Zep. Mix the Concrete prep with water, toss as many parts as you can fit in the tote and let soak. Duration dependent on level of rust and strength of mixture, don't worry you can go fairly strong, even full strength for smaller items in smaller buckets. White vinegar works, but much slower. For larger items like the subframe; submerge as much as you can in the tote, let soak until you get the rust removed, clean and treat that area, then rotate to the next area. Takes soaking time but not your labor time.

Nice video, but with wires coming into that box from every which way, I wouldn't dream of doing that job without a hot wire detector. Turning off the breaker is not enough. Of course, you know your house well, but what about those viewing who are working with an unfamiliar fixture and might shut off the breaker, reach up in there, and get thrown to the floor?

I enjoyed your video. When I spoke with the guys at my local automotive paint shop about painting my interior trim, they said you won't need the adhesion promoter for this application -it's designed for use on exterior plastics. Instead, they suggest using SEM 38353 Plastic Prep or similar products before shooting color.

Yes, kinda haha so if they are coming out then that means the glue holding them in place came loose, you can snip them, but they might pull back out of the holes and then those fibers wouldn’t show. If a few of mine came loose I would snip them but then if it kept happening I would pull the panel and see what’s going on and reapply some glue

Shouldnt have to touch up that often. I used the sem since its better.

Then use the bulldog,then primer and then sem color. I did my console about 6 yrs ago and still looks like it was just painted. Im also bad about throwing crap on my console but its held up.

Also SEM sells their paint in non aerosol form if you want to use an air compressor and spray gun. I did my Foxbody with the cans but if I ever do it again I’ll use the gun. Great video. One thing to note is that when I researched the process all the info I found also said to go over the panels with a fine scotchbrite pad before spraying.Just something in case you wanted to try.

Thank you! In the next garage I’ll have an air compressor setup so if anyone has that I would certainly recommend the spray gun over the cans!
