Long Travel BS Thread

yeah, mine was Herculiner that i got at vatozone.

ill still need to do this part to mine. i left can out in the rain last week

 

Welcome to fiberglass, all if it will look like that soon enough.

 

Find me one...

 

Kinda what I was thinking... Yet another reason not to break the bank on a paint job. on a positive note, desert pin stripes don't show as bad on white!

 

If anyone is planning on racing anytime soon. SNORE just made Head & Neck Restraints Mandatory..Which is an awesome thing if the next step of safety while racing. We stock them, but just a heads up.

Been a long time coming and the other Org's are sure to follow.

 

its not an awesome thing. its another way to drive up cost. i understand its their rules for their races. that i can respect since its their show so to speak, but none of this should be mandated. doesnt mean i wouldnt wear such things, because i do believe in being safe, but not because im forced to do so.

 

Meh. Safety first. The more people who are injured or killed on BLM or other state owned land means we could loose the privilege to race there.

 

seriously..

and seriously.

all of my fiberglass is cracked, broken, spiderglassed, rock chipped, smashed everywhere.
it sucks.
and theres nothing i can do about it..

 

it will always get worse. its my job to make sure that im safe. same thing with seatbelts on the street, and helmets. i always wear my seat belt, and a helmet while on a bike. shouldnt be mandated. i understand that its their show so if you dont like it then you can piss off, but its just another added cost for those of you who barely can afford to race as is.

 

That makes no sense. That is what rules are, mandatory

 

Its your job to be safe until you enter a race under their organization, then it becomes their job. If you can't afford to race (like me) then don't. I agree with government not telling you what to do, but this is not government

 

This...More injuries equal more possible law suits. And more possible law suit's result in higher insurance costs..Higher insurance costs mean higher entry fee's.

End result is the same. Closure of the sport. This is a good thing on a few levels. The upfront cost of a H&N restraint could posisbly lower the insurance costs and bring entry fee's down. None the less it will aid in stopping them going up.

 

Who gives a shit what the glass looks like? If you're glass is pretty your not using your truck hard enough.

 

This, my safety is my buisness not theirs.

 

To each their own i guess. ha Man i would really have to be out of stuff to do on the truck to replace the glass. Everything is more important to me than paint and body.

 

Because we have imperfect fiberglass we don't have pride? wow build your own and come back and talk about pride. My pride comes from things I made with my hands, fiberglass means very little to me

 

you identified your own truck as a "crap bucket" fyi. did he say all ? he didnt even say most.

 

No glass is going to come perfect, do some sanding, add a little body filler and paint. Thats what I did and mine look great.
