Alright... So I'm taking measures to protect my truck's belly at the end of the school year. I want to POR15 the entire frame and underbody of my truck. Thing it, I want to pull the cab off to be able to wash it out real nice and thoroughly first. Any thoughts as to how ridiculous my ideas are? lol If I do end up doing this, I may need a hand or two for doing this because the cab is going to be a hefty load. So, what do y'all think?
 
it's really not that hard to do you can actually pull the entire body of your truck off in 4 pieces(bulky and awkward) but pull the bed then the hood then the front clip(fenders nose) and then the cab... if you pull the doors off you can actually lay the cab on it's side and clean under it and coat it aswell..... now for you to do it this way i would suggest having atleast 3 other ppl there with you....
 
Yeah, I'm gonna have a bunch of people there... And I was planning on setting the cab on it's back in grass, and washing it that way.
 
i wouldnt set it on it's back without a really soft couple of blankets under it to keep from damaging the rear glass.....
 
i don't know if i'd dissasemble the entire truck man... try to find someone with a powerwasher, get the truck up in the air, and blast all the crap out from under it, then POR15.
 
Unbolt the body mounts and put 2x4s for support...You'll be able to get every nook and cranny. Just pull the bed.

I have a friend with a lift, but I'm not sure if he'd let me destroy his garage with the mud from my truck...

What do you mean? Jack up the cab and wash it out?
 
Hmmm.... Might be plausible but I'm gonna ask my buddy if I can use his lift though. I may be doing an SAS if I can get the cash up or putting all new front end parts on.
 
Clinton has experience now, and a titty bar that is close by!!!

nah man, get it up on some ramps outside, and prewash with the pressurewasher. definitly good to have access to a lift though, makes painting & cleaning much easyer once you've got most of the mud off.

that's basicallly how i cleaned the undercarrage of my buick back when i first got it :thumbsup:
