Fiberglassing?
 

Well, tonight, I hit a nice pot hole pretty hard...

So now, I have a cracked bedside. it's on the drivers side of the bed, the little corner closest to the front of the back tire. My question is...

Is this possible to fix? The corner is still there, but is kind of hanging.

Looks like it's time for either smaller tires or more lift.

more lift!!!

your truck is a skyscraper on wheels.. you'd be crazy if you lifted it more!


lol

My truck is no where the size of Ryans, I wish it was though.

but yours is up there..and i thought my truck was high...lol yours i would need a ladder..lol

and yes you should be able to glass it back together..my buddy does fiberglass and does some amazing work!! we are about to shave the tails on my 93 stepside!

more lift.... you can fiberglass it

never thought I would hear of someone hitting a pothole and cracking a flareside bed in a lifted ranger, something you expect from a lowered guy.

take a pic of it and send it to me on this, myspace, or aim

i might be able too

Awesome, I'm glad it's possible to fix.

I'll send you a pic later on E-man!

Should be an easy fix, get supplies form www.uscomposites.com, if it where me I would use expoxy resin for strength, the thickness of glass is really up to you and how many layers you want to lay some 1808 biax would really make that sucker strong but you could probably get away with some 2-3" cloth tape (depending on the crack). Sand good and make sure your glass is fully wetted out with no excess resin.

ha my bed had done it on both sides. happen when i was just a 3 b/l on 35x16 boggers on 15x10 wheels
