Long Travel BS Thread

Who's linking your truck?

Sounds like this guy is going to kiss some good $$$$ goodbye before it's all over - like a newbie diyer walking into HD and coming out with every gimmick that's made to "make things easier."

Hopefully he doesn't mind researching - a quick google search didn't bring up very promising results. He'll have to dig for it - but like I said IG is nice for getting to see a lot of trucks quickly and most guys stay up on their DM's.

Quickly show him this kind of stuff before he gets any bright ideas!

But then again it's always the same formula for best turn out - what does he want to use his truck for? Does he even want a prerunner? IG has a bunch of different truck groups and so does Facebook. They're not as helpful as a good forum or professional builder that can help him figure out how he can achieve what he wants with his truck, but it's better than nothing and it can put him in contact with other people currently building the same model vehicle for the same purposes he is...

 

After reading this, I concur @doyouquaxu...let that bia figure out his own shit.

 

Heard nfab is the best long travel kit for a f150. Hm racing has nothing compared to that. Everyone knows 6” lift is better than 20” plus travel.

 

Moore metal work
Aka erik moore

He built my bed cage and has done all the frame work on my truck

 

Yeah I can see the crash and burn on the horizon

 

build-sell-repeat....thats how this works right?

 

What is wrong with you?

Welcome back

 

Well you're not going to take that cash with you to the grave.

 

Yep
I'm already day dreaming about cutting the front of the truck off to do big boy build

 

You haven’t even gotten to enjoy the current front end lol

 

I know I know
But I like to tinker

 

Anyone coat the top of their fiberglass bedsides with bedliner or anything? I'm thinking about spraying just the top flat part of mine with bedliner to protect the vinyl from loading gear or me throwing stuff up and over

 

@Anthony250 did

That's on the sides. I'm talking about just the top rail of them.

 

I did. I didn't like how my vinyl job on the bedsides turned out. So I sprayed it with raptor bed liner. It's holding up ok. If you hit it hard it will chip. But for just regular driving or rocks it holds up.

 

Thanks.

 

My bad I meant to say he did part of them, but it was just to show the contrast - wasn't completely sure why you wanted to see. The "re too flat part" was a little strange to me

Definitely go with raptor liner or something high level. I love rustoleum bedliner for certain things, but I'd never use it for that!

 

Yeah damn autocorrect. I grabbed a cab of the rustoleum cuz it was cheap, but I was definitely going to spray it on some cardboard first to see how I liked it before taking it to the bedsides. I'll look up raptor liner before making my decision to do it or not

 

An option...
