    minor tweaks
    I needed a stout phone holder and I wanted something that would handle the weight of a tablet or multiple items. I attached a 12" piece of T-slot to the center console and used some 1/8" thick 12" x 1.5" flatstock on the inside to sandwich the plastic to help distribute the weight. It's solid and the plastic isn't flexing.

    [​IMG]
    I tweaked the T-Track and the backing plate to match the curvature of the console and rounded the ends.

    It requires three 1/8" holes in the side of the console.

    Parts needed ($48).

    Unrelated to your post but I was just thinking you should change your username because you’ve been here long enough to be adultwidataco, then I noticed you already made the necessary adjustment :rofl:

    I didn't feel safe enough, the road I was on did a bunch of switch backs behind this area, plus it was a popular hiking place apparently. The main area i go to was shut down.

    Sold some old trash around the place so I could get this!PXL_20240721_223344284.jpg

    Sold this 1997 Ford Ranger "Eda" with a blown engine. She overheated and spalted one of the cylinder walls. Eda was sent to Mexico for a second chance on life. I looked for an old engine for her for over a year but not much around here as they buy up everything in South Texas to send to Mexico.PXL_20240709_201636799.jpg

    Here are a couple of small pallets of edgers and stones that a customer paid for me to haul off and I sold for a few shekels.

    PXL_20240701_193051274.jpg PXL_20240701_193115254.jpg

    I even had enough left over to buy one Breakfast Taco.

    Door sills were wearing down to bare metal on the corners (most from previous owner).

    IMG_4684.jpg

    Hit them with some touch up paint for rust prevention and replaced all four 2nd gen door sill overlays with the OEM 3rd gen overlays. They are wider and cover the corners where the paint was worn.

    So, me and the kids have affectionally named my truck "Bluey". Not sure why it took so long to finally name the truck.

    Slid back my cap and swapped this solid glass picture window for a sliding window from a Ranger cap off marketplace (forgot to get a pic). Now to sell the Ranger cap for some profit and finish sealing up some remaining bed holes to start the bed camping build.

    The part number I ordered is PT747-35201-02. This is the double cab kit that has all four doors. Here is the Amazon link where I bought mine:

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082XHQFKZ

    Also here is a link to a helpful thread. I followed his method to wet the adhesive then squeegee so you have time to adjust. I also used a heat gun to help remove the old ones and to bend the new ones over the edge.
