Doof · « **Reply #603 on:** Dec 22, 2007, 11:48:38 AM »

well i took my tail gate up

creek today. i was trying to get the big

dent out of my tail gate, and i go my window 7/8ths of the way down. and now i cannot get it to go back up. i have no idea what could have caused it to stay down. im lost... anyideas of what i could check?

i looked at the fuses and they are all ok. i looked at the wires with the tail gate and it all looked ok. nothing apeared to be out of place so yeah... thats where i am at right now

Use youre key in the back and also pull it up with one hand and that may get it. Thats how i got mine to go up/down when it was sticking after it shattered

I know lots of people that have problems with those rear windows...
motor still tryin? or does it seem like its fried?

DTB · « **Reply #606 on:** Dec 22, 2007, 01:34:54 PM »

could it be the big

dent in it?

Jud · « **Reply #607 on:** Dec 22, 2007, 01:44:50 PM »

My Buddy's did the same thing once and it was hanging up on one of those big round whit wire connectors in the tail gate. We use to have to have somebody pull on the gate and roll it up to get it to clear.

Doof · « **Reply #608 on:** Dec 22, 2007, 06:20:54 PM »

the reason why it wasnt going up was because the "window lock" button had a wire pull out of the connector

... after i re connected it it went up. it doesnt go down all the way and i got the dent more or less 90% out. its not in the way of the window now and i have to clue what could be holding it up. the motor seems to be fine but when the window is almost down prob 7/8ths you can hear the motor stress out and stop. but still goes up like a champ so i have no clue...

anyways after i got that taken care of i cut my sliders to length and removed the iron oxide from it. tomorrow im going to cut 45 degree angles in the ends and cap them. then figure out the angle i want on the body and get the legs cut to lenth and prob weld those on as well. and if i have the energy or drive ill weld the sliders on as well. they are pretty bling. i got the idea from my buddy matt... clownman on here. but i have pics i need to load of the dent and my before sliders. ill take more pics of slider building tomorrow and keep those who are reading this up to date and what not. get a few more things checked off on the list of my 1st post... well time to hot tub and relax

peace

this idea?

Doof · « **Reply #610 on:** Dec 22, 2007, 06:29:33 PM »

the way im going to do it yea... idk where he got it but i saw it on his and its pretty cool. 1" down from the top and then start the 45... its clean and looks really coo

so its like pointed on the ends? which side is the point on? the top? that way it would help slide?

Doof · « **Reply #612 on:** Dec 22, 2007, 06:39:52 PM »

its hard to explain.... ill try

its 2x4x.25" tubing and if you put it on the 2" side and look at it flat. take your finger or pencil and go to the top. draw down one inch, and mark the line. then mark the 45 and cut the 45. its not exactly a point but same idea yea. its gunna hug the body so its not much more then for looks. its complicated to explain but ill take some pics of my engineering tomorrow and alll that or i can draw it right now and show you if youd like... ill do that... give me some minutes

lol o it is...im deciding on painting it red or black.. not to sure... i might go with black so it doesnt stand out and it blends in

I use semi-flat Rustoleum (black) on everything....its not too bling bling like a gloss finish...

gloss helps the mud and dirt not stick......but flat absorbs mud and dirt...semi flat is the best of both worlds

some dtb spray paint tech for ya...

or as i call it, "SillyTech"

Doof · « **Reply #616 on:** Dec 22, 2007, 07:06:44 PM »

lol sillytech... that still gets me everytime... or all two times, but funny still... i was gunna spry them primer black then go get a rattle can of flat black.. ill check out the semi flat to reg flat on the store floor (or piece o paper) tomorrow and choose then... thanks for that paint tech

dont do red! that just looks $That\'s Gay$

Doof · « **Reply #618 on:** Dec 22, 2007, 07:09:14 PM »

yeah and it would stick out to much. i want them to blend and not be noticed. so on the trail people will be like damn that will be body damage, only if he had sliders. and then BAM, right on the slider and i slide away with no body damage, and then they be like, wow i didnt even see the sliders. they blended in really good

so this morning my mom gave me possibly the best news in the world... she knows how bad i want to get a truck, and she said that if i clean up and sell out 95 runner i can put that money towards buying a first gen. if that happened it would be the best thing ever. truck and runner... best of both worlds. insurance would suck though. so i would prob do a suspension swap and sell the runner and put that $ towards a tow rig/dd if i have $ saved up to that point... depends though... well see

that sounds like more that its worth u might think ur gonna be sayin money but ur only gonna be payin for more

. and i dont know about u but half the reason i get my ass up and out of bed is becasue i get to drive my rig, put me back in the saturn (pos) as a dd and im not happy, but thats just my personal opinion
