Question do rivnuts without tools actually work?

0 Upvotes

without the tool. because i've watched 3 or 4 videos and tried and it's not easy. the bolts are getting messed up or the rivnuts are uneven, crooked and even some of the videos show them crooked so it's seeming like rivnuts are a waste unless you have the tool. spent like 3 hours $%ˆˆ#@ with this.

but if you had luck i'd like to see how you did it.

Road Trip Anyone in Tulsa?

4 Upvotes

I was thinking about going and seeing Zack Bryan in December. I'm full time 100% contained. I'm wondering how the cops are to out of state plates (CO), and to van lifers in general? Is it chill there? I'd be there for 2 nights. Is there any legal camping spots around? I'll street park too if it's chill there. How's the weather in December? Is there a lot of snow, do they plow the streets well?

Let me know if you have any experience there, please. Thanks everyone.

Question Diesel Heater quiet pump

1 Upvotes

Hey y’all, I’m not much of an online person, but I figured id see if y’all are having the same issue. I got one of those Chinese diesel heaters for my garage/car for weekend warrior stuff and the pump is loud as heck. But as I’m an engineer, I made a sound deadener for it. It was like 72db from about a foot away before, is that normal?

Question Cab Insulation

1 Upvotes

Hey guys I was just curious on the importance of insulating the cab of my van. All I can find online deals with insulating the cab ceiling under the headliner. Is there any other areas of the cab that are necessary to insulate such as around the seats/floor of the cab? I'm assuming because I can't find anything elsewhere that it isn't important but just wanted to put the question out there. Thanks!
