    Ahhh. Yeah I only have the one picture I posted in the Lair. It was so very vicious. It viciously cuddled up to him and got sad when he left.

    Got my @Mobtown Offroad Weld-on Sliders installed today. @EatSleepTacos helped with painting them. We used self etching primer and satin black paint.

    After a couple of coats of black paint, we spread sand along the top side of the rail to give it some texture and make them less slippery when wet. Once that layer dried, we applied another thick layer of paint and then a touch up layer.

    They are really sturdy and I can't wait to put them to the test on some rocks.

    How is the sand holding up so far?

    Surprisingly well. I had Elizabeth basically dance around and jump on them, and only a bit came off, which is probably where it was clumped up underneath the top coat. I think if we can refine the process a little, then it would work wonderfully.

    That's good to hear! I wonder if once the paint is nice and dried if we laid down some sort of thicker protectant if it would help. I'm not sure what though. Maybe some sprayable glue or something

    I was thinking sprayable glue. Then maybe using a paint brush to lightly brush the excess sand off.

    For sure. I'm sure mine will need repainting after a few trips out as well.

    Looking good buddy!
    Did @EatSleepTacos weld them on? He seems to be getting his grinding down.

    Dude! You should just wire the breaker to a nail on the opposite side so it wont trip. Old electrician trick :devil:

    Thank you! Lol no. The guys in the shop did. Randy only welds inside his own house.
    This is such a bad idea, but it does in fact work. Still a horrible idea.
