Dang. 650 is crazy. They do beds here for 475. Did you try line x of Monmouth county at2 Industrial Dr #G, Keyport, NJ 07735.

Not sure how far it is from you tho

 

Degrease and remove all residue from the aluminum .Dont use any steel bristle brushes or iron oxide sandpapers. Clean with an aluminum cleaner /conversion coating (Sherwin Williams W4K263 or equivalent). Do not omit this step even if your using a self etching primer. Apply an epoxy zinc chromate primer (Sherwin Williams GBP 9870/981)to the bare aluminum per mfg instructions. Apply primer surfacer after proper flash time. Then apply several coats of Berliner coating. Not undercoating

 

perfect thanks Eddy!

 

Hey all! I may be selling my truck and I'm still waiting for my bumper. If there is someone that would like my spot on their GB please send me a PM! Hoping to get someone in my spot instead of paying the 15% drop out fee.

Thanks much!

 

Good luck mayne.... What is everyone running for winches?? I'm about to order one got stuck last night Hahaha and also do you have a single battery still upgrade?? Thanks

 

So acetone, self etching primer and then spray on bedliner would not work?

 

I'll have to check them out... Also for the rear bumper the light cut outs anyone have the exact lights that fit so I don't order the wrong ones

 

It will..

 

But you are saying it's not whats recommended.. only reason I'm asking is that is what I was plan to use on my front bumper but if it won't protect as well I won't. Be doing it

 

Jeff. The guy asked what the best process was for painting aluminium. So I got the info off a painting thread. I am no professional painter. I've seen people straight rattle can bumpers and never had peeling or anything. I recommend people painting them to the best of your abilities

 

No worries I just wanted to make sure I do it right.. I figured you were the expert.. you have knowledge beyond your years my friend.. I'll always ask you for advice

 

Called the place you found Eddie they want 550

 

I got a good deal on a Smittybilt XRC Comp (9.5) at auto anything. Its shows to be $449 but I called them and got some type of discount to under $400 (can't remember the exact price). Its really light weight with the synthetic rope and seems to be a decent middle of the road winch. I am no expert on winches but did some research and felt this one fit into size, weight and budget for me. (They can def get expensive, like Warn Winches).
There's plenty of reviews on the TW and the internet of pretty much every winch out there.

 

Holy wow! Just FYI I had front and rear bumpers done in a Line X material and it was like $100 for my front and $ for the rear..... That was off the truck

 

Still high. I hope you can find a better deal. Have you tried a powder coating place?

 

Called most places and they don't do it

 

I run this
