Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

There are some disadvantages to living in a rural area. For example, it's an hour-and-a-half round trip to the hardware store. And I've had to make the trip twice in two days just get a few random pieces to finish my window roller project.

Today I removed my left window regulator, cleaned and lubed it, cut away the old slider stub, installed my makeshift roller and tested it. It works smooth and slick.

Gee, only 3 days work and 150 miles driving to fabricate a $15.00 part...

LOLOL, funny how different we all are, I will go to the hardware store on my evening walk to pickup something.
