    According to 9 news another storm is coming with possible large hail again so take precautions now if possible! Whatever that means. lol... Personally I already have bad hail dmg from the previous owner so I am hoping I can get some new dmg and get this thing straightened out. But at the same time i dont want other people to get hit hard for my own gain so if the storm could just dump on my truck that would be good. I was on the tail end of it in northfield when it happened yesterday so only pea - dime size with no dmg.

    Lifted, Armored, needs more lights.
    Is there a way to tell how old the hail damage is? How does the insurance company know your trucks exact location at all times? What's to say that it wasn't parked at Colorado Mills yesterday right when WW3 erupted there?

    Morals and insurance fraud.... But neither of those have much pull in our society these days.

    I'm sure there's ways to tell on obvious stuff, along with checking prior insurance claims.

    *Not implying you were suggesting it... But that's mostly what they rely on.

    I always assumed they could use some type of gps to tell where i was but that may be outside their know how but im not willing to risk it. Common mother nature! Daddy needs a straight body!

    For a simple body damage claim, no they won't go through the trouble unless there's something fishy. Try pulling that for a high dollar claim or something and you can bet the PIs will come out of the woodwork and figure out if you're full of shit or not.

    A single .40 deposited center of mass for each participant typically quells such activities. In the event it doesn't, supply additional .40s until stupidity ceases and they stop wasting our oxygen. :quickdraw:

    What do you all use to paint your armor? I picked up those BAMF LCA skids from Tacoma SS and need to paint em up before I install them.

    Use something tougher than Rustoleum.

    https://www.kbs-coatings.com/BlackTop.html

    This in a spray can is nice, easy to apply and coats much better than Rustoleum. You can use their "cleaner" as well which coats the metal in Zinc, which etches and prevents rust.

    ...Ands it's moisture cured.
