I like it.

What kind of rack did you put on the top? Did you have to drill into your roof?

Bad *** ride.

The bed liner doesn't stick out at all really looks just like textured paint. And I know there are some lifts out there for 2wd trucks. Like actual lifts haha 4wd just doen't have much which is counter intuitive to me.

The rack is just one off of a Dakota that I had to trim a bit to fit and yeah i had to drill into the roof but there have been some big stoms lately and no leaks so it didn't bother me.

that is one awesome off road ride man. I wanted to get a a bumper from kenmountain or w/e like u did. But it was like 600 bucks to ship. I had more things i could do with that 1k so i decided to leave it stock.

I really really like your truck man. Good job!

Ill have to post up some pics when mine is done. Just waiting for the fabrication shop to get done with the light bar. Need a 5 foot coaxal. already have my 4 procomp 100 watters just need to order the switches. Need to remount the Cb antennas. Then maybe get a after market locker in the rear. We will see how things play out!

When you put that liner on the bottom, did you grind the paint down to metal then apply or what was your method?

Also did you roll it on, and where did you get it at?

I just scuffed the paint and rolled it on basically just followed the directions on the can. You can get it at autozone its the duplicolor roll on bedliner. If you do it you'll probably end up repainting it after a year like i did because it fades really bad.

Have you taken it through the brush, and if you have did it stick on?

my question too. Because I'm probably going to do the bedlined rockers too, maybe flares as well if I go that route (we'll have to see what they say when i get inspected next month).

Did you just mask off, and rattle-can the bedliner flat black? How well has that lasted without fading/rubbing off?

By scuff, did you just take an eraser wheel to it to remove the clear-coat, and hit the paint with a scotch brite pad?

I think I used the one big can they gave me in the kit and that was all I needed. By scuff I just roughed up the paint to give the bedliner something to grip to. And since I've painted the bed liner there has been no fading or chipping of the paint. Seems like its going to hold just fine.
