When you’re putting together a project that’s inspired by a high-flying stunt truck, you know you’ve got to add some lift, and our Stunt Double gets the goods this week. The front and rear suspension get treated to a 6” lift to get that rig up in the air. But a good lift won’t do any good if the steering and frame can’t hold up, so Stacey shows you how Offroad Design has fixed some serious issues that many late model four-wheel drives encounter. Bed need to come off your truck, but the carriage bolts are rusted and spinning? Stacey’s got a fix for that too. There’s a lot going on, and we’ve got you covered, this week on GearZ.
Learn how to install metal storm shutter panels with this helpful how-to video from Lowe’s. Aluminum hurricane shutters are a great choice due to their strong, lightweight design that are quick and easy to install. Once you install the metal storm shutter track, you can easily remove and re-install your storm shutters whenever needed.
Start off by measuring each window opening dimensions. When you have all of the measurements, take them to your local Lowe’s and ask an associate whether stock panels will work or if you need to order custom storm panels. It is also important to get the correct type of mounting hardware depending on if you have a wood, brick or block exterior.
You can use build-out tracks or mount the panels horizontally. On the build-out track, mark centered holes 3″ from each end and every 6″ in between .Then drill the holes and mark the center of each piece. Mark a 6″ vertical marks center on your house above and below the window sill. Secure the header with a concrete screw, level and add the other screws. A watertight seal can be achieved with a line of caulk. Attach the bottom track, and then you can start inserting the metal panels.
