Nope, was trying my luck on 42s...because a spare 42 would be obnoxious to move/store/load. Will have a spare now, just will have a patch...
Here's a screen grab -

Holy crap. Now that’s a tire. And again, very impressed with the repair.

Cloned @JTdiRtyD 's PCM today. Forgot to snap a pic of the rig.

That's three successfully cloned in a row now. Maybe I'll start taking on others that need a clone
Thanks again! Now I just need to get over this hurdle of a stage or stage 2 diet...

Finally have some things to start working on.

I have a Rebel Offroad half rack and wanted to enclose it, but I couldn't get onboard with the prices they charge for their ecnlosure panels, so I fired up Fusion360 and made my own. Similar to how they designed theirs but with some changes to make it easier to seal up and added a cubby for my Auxbeam and some elec connectors. I did screw up on the rear door and used the wrong measurement for the tailgate width, so I'll have to fix that. I think I have an easy fix without needing to have a new piece cut.

Working on wrapping it all right now but waiting on the rest of my wrap (I thought I had more than I actually did).

So many smarties on here.
I used to work in steel manufacturing so I'm familiar with processes and blueprints, but getting a 3d printer really pushed me into learning CAD so I could design up and print my own parts. Right now I can do enough to send files and blueprints off to local shops to cut and form, but I'd like to learn more, like how to make full working assemblies and such.

Not trying to be a smartass here, it's 3d modeling software that uses Computer Aid Drafting technology. It's used for everything from CNC machining to 3d printing. If you can draw it there is a tool/device to make it.

SOme advice, look at you local community colleges night school programs. They will likely offer 101 and 201 level fusion classes for very cheap. I needed to learn some new architectural software (revit) after 20 years of CAD and the night school stuff really help getting me into a routine to force myself to sit down and learn it.

I didn’t think you were at all. I would love to know how to do that.

Installed some combination locking latches on my rear seats. Hoping they will be at minimum a deterrent to those looking for an easy score.

Anything to slow an attempt is great. What's the product used?
