What did you do in your garage today..?

I got shot in my garage.
I had a worn out fuel pump on the shelf, waiting for garbage day, looking just like the one below......
I was ~5' away from it, sitting down, and heard a "pop", and I was hit in the shoulder by one of the soft rubber covers on the output side. Ima gonna be ok.....lol...

Replaced my soft roll up cover with a hard tri fold and rails…still needs some adjustments as I can’t see holes but once that’s buttoned up maybe the water resistance will be better.

May keep the roll up for the time being just in case I don’t like this setup.

Those little dowels that align covers are also great for falling down inside an engine.
My favorites drop is cam keepers down the cam chain slot.

Nice. Bakflip.

Thanks! I’ll have to muck around with it to seal all the gaps, but that’ll come with time as I get used to it.

The real challenge is finding a suitable rack. The ELEVATE system is stupidly expensive ($1400 all in), and I’m hoping to find used for $600-700.

Not many racks work with the T-slot / rail mounting.

Nice cover and I’ve heard their warranty/customer service is very good (I have their Revolver X4S). Their rack system does go on sale just check around.

Bought this one used with the CS rails from Truxedo for a decent price ($600).

Now looking for a compatible rack, and the ELEVATE rack is super nice...but expensive.

I've considered this rack, but not sure how it holds up:

Looks like a good alternative.
 
Not moto related but...it's GTAM.

Came home last night and at the airport the Odyssey rear sliding door gave me an error 'Rear Sliding Door Issue'.

The door wouldn't close 100% and the only item remaining was the final 'pull in' of the door prior to driving away. Mechanic doesn't have any slots available until next week, and am looking to see if anyone else has seen this issue before?

Unfortunately ripping apart a door and assembly is out of my wheelhouse, and will just let my wife take the Maverick as she needs it around this week and I'll drive the Odyssey with the bad door just in case.

Door won't open/close electrically, and while I can slide the door mechanically...I can't 100% close it. Gap of about 1/8" of an inch remains open.

Probably too late to the party (still can't access GTAM without VPN). I don't remember if this was my specific issue, but when my Odyssey doors stopped working, it was the rollers and Odyclub had a DIY using <$1 nylon spacers from Lowes Wasn't a bad job at all, either. I'd check Odyclub to see if it's the same problem, unless you've had it fixed by now.

Thanks!
Mechanic said the inner mechanism seized up because it hasn’t been lubed up.

However my wife literally just called me to tell me the door isn’t closing…I told her to set it to manual and she was able to close them by hand.

Will dig further when she gets home.
