    Do it, I love all the bed liner stuff i bought. If you do a roll on i recommend herculiner. The linex on my rear bumper is flaking a little bit. I may throw a couple extra coats on when i put the reciever and the side peices on.

    Bed liner is stouter if it is applied right. I have a friend that sprayed in bed liners and he said the strength is really in the time till it cures and the thickness of the liner. He sprayed some crazy stuff and never had a problem as long as he kept the minimum thickness to a quarter inch. He always sanded the surfaces he sprayed and spent more time on prep than spraying.

    We did the bed of my buddies cummins dodge. Its held up great. We need to do some touchs that we missed. But all we did was rough it up with some sandpaper, wash it out and waited till it dried. Threw the stuff on, still holding good today, Just with the rollers is a bitch to get inot those tight spaces. Im gonna re-do it for him when i get back.

    I have been debating "painting" my sheetmetal on my motorcycle with it. Going for a tough as nails flat black and I'll get some pin striping on top of that. Been debating it...

    Ok, so this is my conclusion of Bridgeport.

    If you have a 2wd, there are only a couple short trails you will probably be able to make it down unassisted.

    The plus side is there is plenty of water and mud to play in. You could just stay down in the, I'll call them "pits". Just have a 4x4 ready in case you get stuck.

    As for the trails, a stock truck is pretty limited solely due to ground clearance. The easy trails tend to have areas of standing water and mud, so I limited myself on those because I haven't done the breather mod, and the stock tires suck in mud.

    So here are some pics.


    This was a pretty good little climb. No way I could top it due to clearance, I just wanted to see if she would climb it.

    A new chevy 4x4 saw me do it and tried... He couldn't climb it :p

    [​IMG]


    Here is another climb. Again there is no way I could clear the top.

    Here is a level 2 trail I made it down without any problems.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Stock tires and no lift I wasn't going to try this one.

    [​IMG]

    This was a easy trial with a SMALL mud patch.

    [​IMG]

    This is the small "pit" the 2wds could play in.

    [​IMG]

    This is driving the power line.

    [​IMG]

    This is a level 2 trail I did in 2wd without any problems.

    [​IMG]

    I wanted to do this so bad, but without having the diff breather mod done, I wussed out.

    [​IMG]

    This is the little hill that I'm always going to hate. All the crazy stuff I drove over and this little guy is the one that caused the most damage.
    I did make it over one time though :cool:

    [​IMG]

    Yeah thats a big dent in my skid plate. The exhaust crossover is a little crushed in too. What was Toyota thinking on that???

    [​IMG]

    So in conclusion, everyone can have fun... And I need a LIFT! before I go back out there.

    So do you think having the 2wd with the locker would do alright on anything other than the pit?

    Yeah that would help a lot. You will need to be careful using it though. When its not muddy, the trails are pretty grippy.
