UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Bedliner on sliders (or bumpers IMO) is a bad idea if you plan to actually wheel the truck and scrape the sliders and bumpers on rocks. The bedliner will get scraped off like anything else and then can start to peel off in larger chunks. I totally looks nasty.


Sounds like you already have it sorted out, but anytime I see a rig with bedlined sliders it's a sure sign that it's a complete poser mall-crawler truck.

 

not this year "/ unless something amazing happens

 

i powder coated mine and looks pretty nice but ya once you scratch them there pretty much to the metal again. but it dont matter gives it style.

 

Yeah I get what your saying similar to plasti-dip once it starts pealing it doesn't stop and comes off in big chunks!

Yeah im forsure going to prep, primer, paint, clear coats then let dry install and toss some grip tape on the step areas!

Im super excited!!

 

should look awesome bro! put up pics!

 

I will forsure, It will more than likely be this weekend that I get it all done.

 

are you welding them on or bolting?

 

I put some roll on Bedliner on mine for grip when getting into the truck and just use rattle can for touch ups when I scrape it off. It will rub off on rocks but it does help when using them as steps. And hopefully you won't be scraping the top of your sliders on rocks much. Nothing wrong with it in my opinion, just know that you'll have to touch it up.

 

Got them bolt on.

 

nice man good luck with the install!

 

Yeah that's what I figured I will be touching them up every so often so im just going to Primer, paint, clearcoat!

 

My 2 cents. Grip tape snags your pants or your girls dress as she gets in and out. I just paint mine every spring to freshen them up.

 

Found this cheap little CB does anyone have any input on CB's? I have very little knowledge on this type of stuff?

Thanks!

 

Got my answer

 

Late notice, but I'm planning on a quick run out to Rattlesnake today. I'll probably top off my fuel tank at the Chevron in Saratoga springs around 12:30. If anyone is interested in joining me, feel free. If you have a CB I'll have mine on ch22. Or if you see me, just come up and say hello.

 

Damn why can you do a run tomorrow when I am not at work

 

Had a great day at the b with some guys from rme, we hit old ward canyon, it was fun but holy cow that trail still needs some time to melt, it got pretty sketchy with the washouts, but all around fun day with nothing broken!



More pics in my build if anyone's interested

 

I posted up on the FB page but I plan on hitting 5-mile next Saturday if anyone is interested?

I got a CB from Wal-Mart for $39. It works just fine. As long as you no far away and stick with a pack on the trail it will do just fine. If you want one to call Truckers about where the best burgers are or where the cops are you might want to invest in a better one. Just my 2cents

 

I think I'm down for five mile, are you hitting rattlesnake and constrictor?

 

hopefully both....ill bypass Waynes World....
