Why not just rattle can 'em yourself? That's what we did with my sliders and bumper, and I'm really happy with how they came out. It looks/feels professional, and is SO solid. Once it cured, it's not going anywheres. Plus, you do manage to scuff it? Rattle can it again. They sell bedliner stuff in rattle can, yes. It is expensive ($10 a can?) but c'mon that's WAY cheaper than having someone else do it .

 

herculined my sliders...cheap and has a rough surface to help with traction when stepping on it...rocks still win when put against it but some black rustoleum makes it look like new (minus the texture)

 

so 9am at the bustop in boulder....should put us on the trail by 10am...

 

sweet last head count? Keith may even join us for the festivities Bob!?

 

I've gotta stay in vail tonight cuz my skis won't be ready until tomorrow morning.

....but this also means I get to drink with "snow bunnies" at the snow daze concert with VIP passes. There is also a pretty big rumor that Dave Mathews band will make an appearance.

So if anyone wants to drive up to vail tonight?! free concert.

 

I'm prob still in

 

so we on to meet at 9? is there a good place close by to top off the truck before we head out again?

 

Should be a few options in boulder to top off I forgot if there's one right by there but from 36 there should be something...

 

If you take 36 all the way in there are a few, then there is Diamond Shamrock in Lyons.

 

I have a person to weld. Im just trying to be cheap.

 

I would if it wash't respray

 

Did that with my last pair of sliders. Got tired of re painting. Plus I did like 3 coats of primer and 6 coats of paint first time out boom dent scratch and repainted (I actually use mine). . I'm lazy, want Somethig different, oh and I'm lazy that's all I got haha.

 

sorry guys I had something come up today, won't be making it up

 

Looks like my wife and I will join you. She's wanting to take some pictures of the scenery and I'm wanting to play in the snow with ppl that can pull me out when I get stuck (which I'm pretty sure is going to happen)! As a bonus I'll finally be able to put some faces to your names! See you in a bit.

 

sweet man! see u there!

 

They must be slippery in the snow/rain...

Yea, I can't remember the name of the crap Travis used on mine... I can find out. It was pretty easy, and honestly it's way better than regular paint. I'm pretty sure he primed them first, then just layered that crap on thick. It's much more protective than regular paint, but yes rocks will win. Even if you get 'em professionally painted, so long as you use them rocks will win . I figure I gotta keep 'em touched up anyways, so I'll just reuse whatever Travis originally used on 'em. Perhaps I should figure that out for myself anyways... Will post back .

Hah, good times. That was my worry - that I'd just be constantly stuck, lol. Take lots of pictures, so we all can web wheel .

 

Finally back in CO for a while!!! too bad i dont have my truck or i would have meet up for some wheeling. Ive got my rear diff skid sitting downstairs waiting to be painted and installed. Also going to pick up my truck from the shop tomorrow morning....gonna be a cold bike ride there, but its been there for a month so itll be worth it.

 

I have a good powder coater if you want to go that route.
