Hey did you paint over the POR-15 ?
Won’t last if you didn’t !
POR-15 makes a Chassis Black for that purpose.

Trucks looking good.

 

Looks awesome man! Love it!

 

Thanks. The hitch was stripped to bare metal then 2 coats of POR15

Thanks dude!

 

Needs beer and strippers

 

Nothing since Nov 2012 !
No new mods ?

 

AGREED!!



PS: I've got beer. I've got a number of stripper friends. Even a male one if he so desires.












clinton...

You mention you Herculined it.... did you use the actual Herculiner product?? If not, what did you use??

I ask because I went with the Dupli Color Bed Armor kit because it was only $30 after 20% off and a $30 rebate...so I gave it a shot. And the results really really suck... It looks like black paint on the bed with a little kid that blew out his nose in many places. No "armor" texturing whatsoever. Just large rubbery chunks that you can pick off.

Thanks for any info!

 

Coilovers are coming!!!

 

Look what came in the mail today!

 

Yay for strippers and beer!!!! lol

I used the actual herculiner. It looks great when first put on like the pics...BUT....after a while, you scratch it, the **** starts peeling.

 

No, the truck has been sitting. Work has kept me so busy, but now it is time for spring mods!

 

so now, why do you need coilovers? why are they better?

 

A little smoother ride, plus I get rid of the torsion bars all together

 

ok, yeah that torsion bar does hang down a bit too low at times

 

Yeah and it will make it look better, plus the ****ty superlift shocks can go bye bye

 

fancy! gimme a shout if you want a hand installing 'em :thumbup:

 

The Coil-Over is a good mod.
When we take the truck, the wife always accuses me of driving like I was in a sports car, hit the corners hard, no lean.

 

Thanks dude, I may take you up on that!

I hope so, right now with the 35" tires on, the truck has a bad roll to it at about 65mph

 

Just from the shock/coil-over mounting points it will help some.

Are you running a sway bars ?

 

I only have the front sway bar, I removed it, then put it back on with the same results. I am removing the sway bar for good after the coil swap in.
