DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

What is all of your opinions on coating options for sliders? Paint vs Powder vs Liner?

 

Paint. If you wheel and use them they will need to be touched up. Paint is easy to do and touch up.

 

i second the paint option...i dont wheel my truck but they do get scratched from boots, etc....easy to touch up with paint

 

So just use a rust prevention primer and rattle can?

 

SiriusXM is free through June 4th in case anyone has a capable stock head unit.

 

Powder first, then paint to touch up.

 

Thank you!

 

I may just try paint first. Powder is another $250.

 

i used the Rustoleum truck bed coating spray paint, over primer

 

I did the same as @49erfan

 

Mall crawler - powder

Offroad - paint

 

Well, this is pretty horrible:

 

If it was a mall crawler my predator steps would have lasted longer than my first scheduled service. Lol.

 

I asked on FB, but wanted to check here too just to double dip. For an Icon Stage 3 kit what are you guys using for alignment specs? Trying to get my local shop to get it right this time around.

This is a third gen. Thanks in advance. I’ll try some searches too tonight when I’m free. Been a stupid busy work week and I’m lazy when I get home. Figured I’d check here to see if anyone is familiar before I weed through numerous posts.

 

Oh. That’s you posting.
One of the guys that replied to you works at Tandem. Give them a call, they’ll give you the specs that you should be able to hit.
Mine is 0 2 0 or something like that.

 

I have Kings on a second gen, but here's my alignment sheet from Tandem. Just like Alex said on FB, caster 3+ and toe and camber at or close to 0.

 

I was trying to not bother those guys. But I’ll give them a shout. They are always pretty helpful! Maybe it’s the tacos that I brought when I came by the first time?

 

Thanks fellas!

 

Going to throw this out there...

I think I may end up registering for this event and going just for the hell of it as I had a ton of fun last year since it was so small and then again I rode around in way more capable rigs than mine and may just attempt the same this go around...

But would anyone else want to partake in going?

Registration closes tomorrow night at some point, but all that means is no guarantee of a t-shirt and could still register when you got there.
