    You may just want to just take anything of value off the truck, and keep driving it, hoping it catches fire and burns to the ground. Collect the insurance, then buy a new one from down here in ATL.

    You know I was thinking that when I told @5N0W808 “off a cliff” when he told me to “Send it”. :D

    I mean, a simple pinhole in the fuel line right above the exhaust manifold ... I can only imagine what could happen.

    Actually it was spraying towards the fender, so not so bad. I’m just hoping when I de-pressurize it and re-pressurize it it won’t get bigger.

    You’re better off just wrapping it loosely with a rag. Tie it tight and when it lets go, it’ll gush out. Guy still needs to drive it on the lift.

    If it’s snowing, I’m blowing off the free lunch. It's for this Thursday so we'll see.

    Someone needs to get an R in this font tatooed on their ass. It'd be the funniest inside joke ever.

    This is what my girlfriend's dad bought a couple years ago for his truck. Swapped the axle shafts and 3rd member over and had new wheel bearings and brake backing plates put on.

    Big thanks to @shifty` for helping me update the firmware on my Alpine. He sent me a thumb drive, 3 USB cables and the instructions on how to update it.
    I really appreciate it :hattip:I ran the cable to my glove box for now.

    You're welcome. The big question is: Did it resolve your problem?

    In the event it doesn't, good part is, any updates or debug Alpine Support may ask you to do would probably be done by USB, so .... :D

    and the door hinges if you can swing em. I don't need the door panel, glass, regulator/crank shite, or mirror.

    As long as it's not rusted out, and the door check sheet metal isn't broken. I want it. Take a looksee at the tail gate too, and see if its not too fuckered. I trust your judgement.

    Here's a link to my WTB thread. https://www.tundras.com/threads/wtb-00-06-ac-rc-doors-and-tailgate.113521/

    Thanks for your time, and let me know what I owe you for aforementioned time, and the parts. Huntsville is only 3.5 hours from my house. Should be a good day trip. I do have plans Saturday, but I mmight be able to make the trip down thataway Sunday if you'll be available.
