| Dash Screws, AlliSport + Nakatanenga, Protection Plates | |
Hi All!
For the first topic of inquiry, I had my AC serviced after 3 years and when I got the truck back, the AC guys put the screws back on the wrong places! Basically, I will have to renew my steering cowls including screws as the ones they put in just fell out when I hit a pot hole. The small screws on the side of the dash hardly bite now as they fitted the large tori screws in there! What part numbers are the receiving end of the end dash so I can use the proper small screws again? Need new small screws too as I only got about a few of them back! I told the owner of the AC place about the issue and told him that they should be careful next time. He told me this was noted. Next time they do this, I'm charging him for all the parts I need to replace.
Next thing on the list, planning to replace my current Mantec plastic job with a Nakatanenga raised air intake SN4 that goes into the upper wing. This being the case, anyone know the hose diameter this kit uses? Would anyone know if this kit will play nice with the AlliSport waterproof airbox?
Now evaluating the protection plates available to the Puma. You have galvanized steel and you also have thick aluminum. Which is better for long term, durable protection? The only arguments I've heard on this is that steel is heavier that aluminum. Is it really that big of a deal? When it comes to durability, haven't heard much. On the weight argument, I'm planning to eventually put on a roll cage so there's that. Does this mean that the truck will now sink in mud, sand, and volcanic ash? Get stuck in riverbeds? Refuse to move under stock truck power?
Information, feedback, and advice greatly appreciated as I'm finalizing the items I need to do a major overhaul and upgrade to my truck.
Thanks in advance!  No Better Friend, No Worse Enemy
