The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXIV

Got a call from the dealership. Just spent $1,600 for a new right side mirror for the motorhome. That's the one, that the one renter crashed into a toll booth on the Ohio turnpike.

The body shop want $2,000 for the same mirror.

You could rent a blower too.

As for the door - if replacing it with an insulated door is not in the cards... Amazon will come through for you.

Honestly, for the price I am paying, it wouldnt be worth my time to rent the blower and buy the insulation.
No insulated door either, I was looking at 2" pink foam I could cut and adhere to door or one of the kits like you linked.

Isn't there a kit that has rigid insulation that you can attach to the panels of the garage door to insulate it? I can't remember where I saw it offered.

There is. One of the houses we rent out has that setup. It's on amazon as well. I have to wonder about it though, the panels dont cover the edges of each garage panel where the hinges are.

Snagged a small 1/2 drive, 6pt socket set. Ko-ken tools fast becoming one of my favorite brands.

See how well they hold up with a 1/2 drive impact gun. Hope they don't explode like Mac sockets do.

My Snap-On never had a problem with them. Had bought some Mac sockets because the dealer offered a deal on them. 3 of us got them. Each of us had a socket or 2 explode. The one guy had to go to the ER to get the pieces out of his hand. So, I've been careful about sockets ever since.

To remove the lug nuts from the wheels on my Power Wagon. Have to use a deepwell 6 point thinwall. Nothing else fits. One my Z. Have to use a deepwell 7 point spline thinwall.

Id never use any chrome on an impact, just for that reason, snap-on or not. Sucks you are stuck in the situation were you are forced to do it.
