What did you do with your truck/shop today

Mckenzie · May 16, 2013

Went to the body shop guy today and he's going to pull the pretty big dents on the driver side of my bed and the piece beside where the passenger side door opens that got pushed in bad...all for 300 bucks!! Can't beat that! Just had to haggle and trade in my old dented doors an he knocked 200 bucks off the price! And he's gonna touch up some spots where the paint is chipped

I really broke a sweat today lol

I'm body color matching a new bumper cap, also spraying the black ABS mirrors, tailgate, inside the beds floor and walls (scratches). I'm getting away from all the black exterior ABS plastics, it's a pain dessing these parts after each wash plus it will look much better.

With ABS you do not need to use adhesion promotor, just an epoxy primer works best. The new (aftermarket) bumper cap dosen't have any markings telling what type of plastic it is. The float test is a simple test to see if adhesion promotor is necessary. I snipped a small piece of plastic from under the new smooth bumper cap and placed it in a small cup of water to see if it sinks or floats. I was hoping for a sinker to save a few dollars but... was not to be lol. After I pick up the clear (SPI), AP and Epoxy primer this project is go!

"If It Floats You Must Promote"

The BASF Limco Supreme lid when I sprayed the bed in 06 looks like a perfect match

Might need you to data log with the misfire parameters to see if he can identify why.

Chris · May 17, 2013

Big mistake! Never consent to a search or talk to the police. "I had 4 beers"

You should only ask "am I being detained?" "am I free to leave?"

Ohio v. Reiner, 532 U.S. 17, 21 (2001)

"Keep in mind that Fifth Amendment protections are available to the innocent as well as the guilty. As the Supreme Court has said, its basic function is to protect innocent individuals who otherwise might be ensnared by ambiguous circumstances. Even the "truthful responses of an innocent witness" may provide the government with "incriminating evidence from the speaker's own mouth."
