Got my Christmas KOR roof rack a couple days ago, but I don't have anywhere warm to paint it...
Thinking of getting it powdercoated but the nearest place is 40 miles away. Anyone got ideas? link to full res

Doesn't spray paint freeze and then flake off below freezing? Duck tape sounds messy for when I do decide to paint/finish it...lol
LOL Not a fan of chroming myself...unless you want to do it for free?

Serious answer, drive the 40 miles and get it powder coated. Do the job right the first time and don't worry about it again.

Got it a new keychain.

My steering wheel is way off - PO did ...?
the steering wheel-column and the bolt at the steering box ??? plz
I tried to unbolt the steering shaft from the steering gear box but there isn't enough room to pull it off the spindle.
can I just loosen up ... maybe the bolts holding the column to the dash framework? ( I tried the main bolts ... started the other 4 )
OR ... do I have to actually Take Off the Steering box just to turn the wheel straight?
PS , No I can NOT adjust the steering linkage - I just, finally, got it to track straight - with equal turns left and right! (nice) but the steering wheel is now 3/4 upside-down. and the blinker won't stay on going straight :-(
