The Lair

Im at an impass. If i add spacers to the rear it will match the width of the front and will keep the tire from hitting the rear shock, increasing up travel under flex.

Buttttt then the tires will rip my bedsides off.

 

You have a welder. Just cut out some of the bumper. Is it powdered?

 

Noooo its barely even spray painted. I guess thats what im gonna do. It will need to come off anyway

 

I’d just cut a 2” strip out of it and then reweld it. Fully weld the outside and stitch weld the inside. Then grind it smooth on the outside. Shouldn’t take more than an hour once the bumper is already off. Heck you could do it with it on if you really wanted

 

Yeah im just feeling lazy

 

Meh...who needs bedsides anyway?

 

I'm not as committed as Randall.

 

I'm sorry. You'll never be like Randyfab with that attitude.

 

What's the crossbar do?

 

Adds extra rigidity between the two hangers. Essentially acts like another crossmember for the frame

 

Do you know who's Sport that is in the background?

 

Just start cutting. You will be committed.

 

No clue, sorry.

 

I was actually more interested in the rear bumper.

 

Careful with the rage. Don;t stir to mix the hardener fold it over. It gets air bubbles

 

That’s what I was seeing in the videos I watched. Going to pick up some sand paper tomorrow and get started. Should be exciting

 

You did get the Everglass to put down first right?

 

No, I thought this was fine. I just noticed this though in the literature. Ugh. I guess at this point I’ll just use it and if it cracks over time, just bed-line it like you’ve suggested.

 

Ok I figured that. But what does it prevent? Why is it needed? I've never seen a rear frame crack (doesn't mean it doesn't happen that's why I'm asking).
