I had my Warn Manual hubs installed along with new BCA wheel bearings and had my ABS straightened out, installed my SPC alignment cams (24180), under coated and chip guarded the under carriage, front end and rear diff.













I also scuffed and painted the lower section of the truck up to the first body line with black chip guard so it should be bullet proof now.










Now I just have to wait for my Superlift Superide shocks, Red shock boots and 3/4" D-shackles to come in and I can do some more to it and probably send it out to get aligned correctly. I also plan on making a prerunner style light bar out of 1.5" tubing, rocker rock guards out of some 2.5" pipe I have that I might seal up and make air tanks out of, a rear bumper out of channel with a receiver and shackle tabs built in, a front skid plate and rear pumpkin cover out of a grand Cherokee gas tank cover I salvaged from work and two tabs fabbed the front frame rails for shackles. I'll keep posting pics as I get stuff done. Thanks for looking!

 

superlift shocks are pooooo.

who makes the stuff you used for the chip gaurd as you call it?

 

just put img in square brackets in front of each of those links, and /img in square brackets behind each one, and they'll "paint up" in the post so people won't have to click them.

Good deal! It's coming along nicely!

 

nice work my friend

 

I wish I would've thought of using that bedliner on my exterior

I hope you "scuffed" it almost down to the paint or it's gonna peel =\

 

looks good! nice ranger man!

 

I called it "CHIP GUARD" not "CHIP GAURD"

I'm a body person for a living and we use it as chip guard because it's chip guard and it says it right on the can. We usually clear coat over it to duplicate a factory chip guard. This stuff happens to be black so I thought it would look cool to use the natural color of it against a black truck. Don't mistake it for undercoat because it's very different. This stuff drys hard as a rock is rubberized acrylic. I will get a pic of the can for you tomorrow.
I prepped the body with alcohol and then scuffed it with a red scotch-brite pad then used alcohol again then sprayed the stuff right on. It's very very strong stuff.

As far as the shocks go, I got them brand new for $7 a shock and compared to the stock POS ones that are just about rusted through and about 2" too short you can't go wrong.

Thanks for your support though

 

nice work

 

My old truck =[




I'd advise clear coating it. Much easier to keep clean. It dulls after awhile and you have to use something like Silkolene Pro Prep. It's like Armor All on Steroids and hella better.

 

Yeah it's scuffed perfectly till it was flat with no shiny spots all the way to the edge.

Thanks for posting those up with the IMG tag.

That's a Pendaliner that came with the truck when I bought it.

 

Hey cool! smart minds think alike heh. I like that light bar too.

 

nice truck man

 

np man

The key is in the prep, if you're a body man then I don't need to tell you that =]

Turned out nice, I like it on that black truck. I did mine more to cover up some nasty scratches and scars. That's why I didn't match it at the same level. 95% of the mud stayed on the liner though. Def did it's job!

 

It's for sale =]

I'm gonna get my new truck done at the body line you did it at the whole way around. I'm gonna get line-x to do it. Gotta wait til tax return time. I just want the guarantee this time. Don't have much spare time like I use to have either.

edit: you should do the flares!

 

I use something similar: NAPA/Martin Seynour Stone Guard #4004. That's what all the black on the front of my truck and under the rockers is.

 

Here is what I used:

Mine was scratched real bad too. I had 9 tons of rocks dropped off to do my drive and I thought it would be fun to drive over them heh..

 

big ricks or little baby gravel kinda rocks?

 

maybe my post was takin in the wrong way, but i wasnt being sarcastic or mocking your spelling, didnt even notice i mispelled it.

i actually just did that to my truck about a month ago, and im looking for something more thick like that. where can you buy that stuff at?

 

Medium size rock about 1 inch. It's actually the ones you'll see in all the pics.

 

Sorry about that, you came across as sarcastic. I took some from work and we get it from a body shop supply place called Finish Master. Try that stuff from Napa that n3elz mentioned it sounds like the same stuff. The trick to that stuff is layers and preparation. Hold the can far from what you are spraying it will disperse further. Let it dry then do it again and so on. It will layer very thick like the factory stuff.

 

That looks real good hombre! If I had a differeent color truck and did more off-roading I'd do it.

 

looks really good

 

Go on w. your bad self!
