Re: thinking about getting this in the morning

removed the windows and all the rubbers then sanded the top and painted it satin white. not as grey as it looks in the picture I also installed new felt to the rear of the cap now to take the side windows apart and see why they were caulked shut! LOL

Re: thinking about getting this in the morning

Someone here was looking for the felts/seals to rebuild the slider windows not too long ago, I don't think they ever found them. There's no kit I'm aware of anyway. Not to say it can't be done, but you'll probably have to source universal felts to find some that fit.

Re: thinking about getting this in the morning

thank you i will pull them apart and see what's going on with them i may also need a new tailgate and window the old one is pretty roached out

I ordered 75 sq feet of peel and stick sound/heat deadener to install before i put the new carpets in I'm guessing those nasty old carpets are holding all kinds of funk in them!

Re: thinking about getting this in the morning

my mechanic is rebuilding the rear brakes and installing the new shocks, radiator and steering components so while it is away at the shop i have had a chance to work on the cap and sliders. The side windows were full of clear caulk so once i managed to clean it all out the windows are actually in good working order. the felt in the channels are nothing special. I believe any that will fit into a 3/4" x 3/4" channel will work. tough part may be finding them 8 feet long

Re: thinking about getting this in the morning

found some rust holes in the original muffler so i decided to change from the exhaust manifolds back and eliminate the catalytic convertor and go to a 3" single set up with a decent high flow muffler and keep the tail pipe in the same location coming out behind the rear tire to the side instead of duals coming out the back like you typically see I hate when you are hooking up a trailer and the exhaust is shooting straight in your face! LOL
