So I bought the truck a couple months back and it had a drop in liner that was starting to crumble, so last week I pulled it out and the bed was actually in alright shape underneath, scheduled an appointment with rhino linings and got it in! I got charged an extra $75 for extra prep but judging by the end result I’d say it was worth it, final cost of $900 post tax.
As a disclosure, I received this power station in the condition it’s in from a friend who wasn’t able to figure it out either.
As the title says I’ve got here a Rockpals portable power station that seems to take a charge as far as I’ve tested but doesn’t seem to like outputting power to any of the ports or powering the display past an initial power on, after that the display turns off and it makes this high pitched sound any time I press any of the buttons which gets higher and higher pitched until eventually it’s a continuous high pitched ringing. Now Rockpals does not exist as a company anymore otherwise I’d be contacting them, if anyone has any experience or insight on this type of issue on Rockpals products that would be very valuable to me, thank you
EDIT: I’ve got a video of the issue I’m talking about
So my truck has cab corner rust on the passenger side :(. I live in the northwest so I never thought rust would be a huge deal and didn’t look too close when I bought the truck back in March, my mistake, it’s a (unfortunately quite expensive) learning experience. I don’t have the funds to weld new corners on nor the know how to do it myself or willingness to pull the bed. Eventually I’d like to cut out the rust and put some adhesive metal covers on(maybe throw in some rivets to make sure they don’t go anywhere, if that’s possible, I guess I’ll see lol) but that’s a project for later, maybe in the next couple weeks, hopefully before July, idk I’m rly busy all the time. So for now I’ve just put a piece of duct tape over it and layered some electrical tape on top of that so it looks a bit better. I know all this does is hide it but it’ll keep things out of the hole so it’s not exposed to rust faster, and you can hardly tell it’s there from a couple feet away, so for the time being this is gonna have to work lol. My other vehicle has had a hole in one of the panels for as long as I’ve had it, and it’s covered with duct tape and hasn’t seemed to have worsened besides being a bit of an eyesore but I don’t look at the spot much anyway, but the important part is it hasn’t gotten worse which I hope that logic carries over to this scenario too at least for the time being.
Sorry for the rambly post I just found my “solution” entertaining so I figured I’d share it lol
So I bought this truck a while back not even noticing the rust there, it looks way worse in this picture than it does in person honestly. The truck otherwise is in good shape, the bed liner(drop in) is a little beat up but I’m going to replace it with a spray in here in the next few weeks anyway. The truck has its share of dings, dents, scrapes, and scratches, it was a truck that’s been used for truck things, and that’s what I bought it to do, dump runs, moving big items, that sort of thing. I know it’s never going to look perfect and I feel like if I try to fix this it’ll end up looking worse. I live in eastern Washington where, at least in my experience, you don’t see cars rusting out super fast like in New England. So should I just accept that the truck isn’t going to look perfect, especially with the type of use it’s seen and will see, and quit worrying about it?
