    I rattle canned my factory recovery hook and the letters for BAMF skid I got. Looks good. When my hitch skid shows up ill probably do black skid with red clevis

    Part of the reason welding this was a pita. My torch was air cooler. @160amps for most of it, I could only weld 6 inches before I had to let it cool. Especially with ambient temps approaching 100f.

    Just normal rattle can? Or bed liner? I'm super bummed I'm missed out on that. I'll probably just buy one full price

    Run red for a while. If it grows old, try a glow in the dark Lime. Or back to black.

    Small stuff is easy to tweak.

    That's honestly what I figured with the black. I just rattle canned over the red, I bet a pressure washer would blow that off though haha

    Ouch.

    A watercolor in you future? The smaller ends and such look like it might be worth it?

    You can come up here and weld me some in the nice, cool 70s? :rofl:

    Normal rattle canned with a clear coat. For some reason I don't have any with the hook and bamf, but here is the letters when I yanked the skid to do the front diff and oil. Did touch up with self etching primer 20200427_130227.jpg

    Edit: that's 2 years on the hook looks similar. I'll probably pull it and re do them both in a few months.

    Nice. The raptor liner works fuckin good man. I'm such a fan. I'll probably add on to the slimline bumper and raptor liner the whole thing.

    I self etched, black rattle, then the QT roller bed liner on my sliders. When I touched them up with the skid and a piece of cardboard only took 20 minutes to hit all the areas

    Nice!


    Yessir. I do like the SW, but I love the environment up here. Chill compared to the extremes of PA where I grew up.

    Nothing this weekend. We were going to go tomorrow but almost everyone had something come up in the AM and it’s too damn hot to wheel in the desert after noon!
