Long Travel BS Thread

my new fiberglass got here today. upgraded from 4" to 6". Cant wait to see it.

 

Who did you go with?

 

Send it off to get linex on the underside and fill some of the blemishes
That way when you wrap it, it looks crispy

if you’re lazy the spray liner from the store works great too, just gotta let it dry for an eternity longer

 

Had Advanced Fiberglass the first time around, fitment was perfect, so I went with them the second time around too.

 

Linex on the back side? I'm lost at what the benefit from that would be?

I'm more on the budget end with this one but would consider using the spray liner.

 

helps with gel coat cracking from impacts on the underside from rocks and whatnot.

 

I've heard nothing but good things about Advanced. They're just a little pricier. The McNeil 2" I just put on my other truck weren't too bad for fitment so I went with them again in the 4".

 

I wanted advanced for my one piece but they quit making them sometime last year.

 

Maybe they will bust out the mold if we buy 2. I’d like to have a 1 piece

 

This

fiberglass, even the good stuff usually has bubbles in it and gaps, all of that shows up after a short time
Some are worse than others.
Big fan of Fiberwerx, McNeil and the other one that starts with an M… (mind blank)

but not a fan of roadrunner whatsoever
their customer service is decent but the production quality is iffy at best

 

You could've made that a third if I didnt just buy fenders from them...

 

I just ordered raptor liner for my fronts inner sides. Adhesion promoter and liner. Anyone done their own paint on their fenders? Specifically wondering what primer to use for MGM color application.

 

Nothing better than needing two people just to check your oil

 

Checking your oil is a myth. It's actually not required. My 4.0 was perfectly okay with me not checking the oil until I poked a hole in the block.

 

Holy shit lol. I ordered +6” fenders from adv fiberglass, but on the back +6.5” is written, so maybe they’re +6.5 which is probably a good thing, but damn these things make my +4 fenders look factory.

 

Came across this for 3rd gens. But cant find much about the company other than they do a lot of Rzr and SXS stuff.

They used my buddies photos but I am not sure they had any hand in those fenders

Why did the BS'ing slow down. I signed up for BS.

 

had my truck worked on a while back
“Legit” shop from what I was told.
I got outside to do some maintenance this week and replace a CV
And I finally got to take a look at the cam gussets they WeLdEd for me….


Hurrr

 

You are getting pretty good at welding but it looks like you need a lot more practice.
