Oahu Members Thread

I honestly can't really tell you cause I haven't linex anything in my life haha. I'm going more for the grip on the sliders. I know people don't recommend it but like I said before I ain't looking to doing hard core off roading.

 

Damn!! Somebody got a money tree in da yard...

 

Well I'm looking to do the same. Just couldn't find a dealer. Let me know when you figure yours out.

 

Roger that.

I did think about just painting it and putting some type of grip tape, like those on a skateboard. But I don't know if that will look cosmetically right or the durability of it on a slider.

 

no more line-x on oahu i thought? only like lava lining or pamalu or something?

have you heard of monster paint? was a product they advertised for stand up paddle surfers as an alternate to waxing the paddle for grip. its a spray-on paint that dries kinda rough, like a skate deck. I dunno if it'll work for the sliders, but it's something to consider...

also, anyone heard anything about the first Boss4x4 pallet??

 

Only heard that the cutoff was last week so I assume it'll be on it's way shortly.

 

That was my idea as well if I can't spray some lining on the top edges.

 

Yeah no Line X so gotta try someone else. Thanks for that spray tip, something to consider.

 

I painted mine with Duplicolor bed liner. same thing and it's easy! If you go up to Peacocks you can check them out. It's grippy and super durable. I've had people ope their door on my sliders already and not a scratch. I have pics in my album of me spraying them.

 

Hmm I'll probably go this route. How'd you prep the sliders?

 

What up peeps! Man it took me awhile to figure out how to sign in again

 

Damn!!! Officer, how u been?

 

None too bad, but dropped the program. Injured my knee

Going to be awhile before I can go back.

 

you're alive!

 

Welcome back Nate

 

I just cleaned it with brake clean and then sprayed it. there wasn't any corrosion when they arrived. I applied 3-4 coats and it came out great. it handles me and the kids stepping on it and is easy to touch up if necessary. no primer needed either. Nate did it this way and his came out great too. I checked his sliders out before I sprayed mine.

 

so once you're better you can go back or do you have to start all over again?

 

Awesome. Thanks

 

I also used the duplicolor brand. Also found out that if you wait a couple days and let it sit in the sun, the coating is less subject to chipping. Mines been sitting in my yard baking in the sun for a couple weeks now, gonna install this weekend.
