Gary Lewis Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Two Part Epoxy works. You might have trouble getting the epoxy adhere to the plastic, so I'd do a test and see if it acts like it'll work. If not you might want to use 655-8 G/flex Epoxy Adhesive. It seems to adhere to most plastics if you follow the directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the replies, I remember using J-B weld for some plastic interior panels that worked good, may have a little still around if I can find it...update later.

Enjoying it so much All the best from Germany Hello, Jochen! Good to hear from you. That looks like WORK! But we have a saying that you are warmed three times: cutting the wood; splitting the wood; and burning the wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81-F150-Explorer Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Problem solved, if all else fails, %$#@& it, on all four sides. That's not a bad fix for a daily driver truck. Good Job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 That's not a bad fix for a daily driver truck. Good Job! Well, I had a really good day today. First, I adjusted the rear brakes on Big Blue and fixed a problem I've had where the steering wheel turned right a bit when you hit the brakes. As explained in Big Blue's Transformation. And I got my new BlueTooth OBD-II dongle in and it works a treat, as explained in OBD-II Scanner, Dongle, & App Thoughts. Last, it has been 3 months since I coated the steering wheel with the Cerakoat that Deren gave me, and the steering wheel is still well and truly coated. Thanks again, Deren!

Had these wheels from my parts truck sitting in the yard with 2012 tires on them. I haven't done anything with them because I didn't want to pay the $60 in dismount fees. I stumbled upon a YouTube video showing how to break the bead of a tire using ratchet straps and a floor jack. I wouldn't use this method on a daily driver's tires, but on these 10 year old junk tires, it worked perfect. The wheels currently on my F350 are heavily corroded, so these will eventually make it onto my truck whenever I want that old white steelie look.

But I've also run into tires so old and hard I couldn't get them off that way and had to use a sawsall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've also run into tires so old and hard I couldn't get them off that way and had to use a sawsall. Saw this method in a 1948 Desoto manual, it works pretty good. As you can see, that was a fairly crusty rim. That was when you had to do your own repair on the side of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
