I thought you were being serious , must have missed something der

 

just look at that flexy tire!

test out the sliders up there?

 

I was, I have just been too lazy to get that done.

Yes sir, held up great! see more photos on the trip reports thread

 

Yeah I aired down to about 15psi and the tire flexed that much, even with them being E rated. Hope I didn't go down too low. I didn't get any slices or anything though

 

Nonsense. I go to 10-12 now on C rated tires.

Was on 8 last weekend.

 

Yeah but look at them. There is a better pic of how much the sidewall mashed down on the CO trip reports thread.

 

Looks normal to me since your turning. Wheel is being forced to the passenger side..if that makes sense..so it's being pushing down on..but also across.

 

Good point, it felt good. Lost a bunch of clearance but since I finally had both skids and sliders it was no biggie

 

Got one side on but has lots of bubbles big stickers like this are so hard to put on. Hopefully the other side will go better!

 

Drivers side

 

The stickers definitely look good in the pictures.

If the bubbles are small, you could try hitting them with a heat gun (sparingly) or your wife's hair dryer. The sun may even take care of them for you.

Worst case scenario, we make you another one and try again.

 

Thanks. They were hard to apply to where there were No bubbles but they look great from a short distance. I will give the Moab sun a chance to bake some of the bubbles out and see what I want to do after that. I think they loom cool too. Thanks Eric for talking my idea and making it happen.

 

Where are the decals from? They look great by the way, whole truck looks great.

 

Thank you very much. I have had a blast building this truck.
A local guy who does a lot of decal work for moto-x guys made them as a trade for some aal. His username is teamhypoxia but real name is Eric. I urged him to start making decals as a vendor in TW, we'll see if he tries to do that but you could probably pm him to see if he would make you some.

 

Will do. Thanks man.

 

One trick I sometimes use when applying tricky decals (especially with compound curves) is water.
It seems weird, but if you spray the surface and/or the sticker liberally with water it doesn't affect the sticky, but it won't stick as much while the water is there. Depending on the sticker, this can let you remove and reapply if necessary (probably not the thin bedside decals as they'd likely tear. When the sticker is in place, you just squeegee out the water and you're golden!

 

I thought about that after, if these get bad over time I will redo them like that. Did you save the file?

 

Yep. Save them all

 

Cool! It will be an easy reprint if I need to one day.
