Hitch sandblasted, painted with POR15

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.

Needs beer and strippers

Needs beer and strippers

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!!!

 

[Hooligan]

Look what came in the mail today!

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!

 

[Diablo]

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

 

[Diablo]

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

 

[Hooligan]

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:

 

[Scrambler82]

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

 

[Scrambler82]

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

Are you running a sway bars ?

 

[Hooligan]

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.
