I don’t think they’re in the same class, but it’s come down to budget (HF) vs. wanting to get something not in black (ML). If I can find Herculiner in gray for a reasonable price, I might go that route. Regardless of the flavor, I’m planning to use a schutz/undercoating spray gun to apply it, since rolling it on won’t be an option with all the crevices. Not sure what my primer options will be quite yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainGoat Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 rust could make for a nice patina...That's so Sonoran of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainGoat Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Yeah yeah, enjoy the confidence that it won't rot through in a couple months...ya darn Arizona people!It's so true! Rust patina is actually a desert look. It's so arid there it will last forever. I remember leaving the tent fly at home for 10 day trips because there was no chance of rain. And,anything that does get wet, is bone dry in about an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've got a good sunset pic feel free to add that to the October 2018 Truck of the Month thread, it'll be open for 10 more days. Really like the details like CB antenna placement, light bar placement, and low roof rack. Looks real slick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks real slick.He also has done a really nice rack attachment (his is my template) & an innovative installation of LED reverse lights in the rear bumper reflector slots. It’s a VERY nice looking truck! I’ve been on him to do some write ups as those last two projects were really nice. Nice rig control at Tahuya as well. FINALLY on NPORA! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had several methods of mounting the rack on my QX4 and was never quite pleased with it, I'd be interested to see him do some writeups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainGoat Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 @02_Pathy Definitely talk a bit about the Cerakote at the end. It’s an involved process but I’m sure it will be news to many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainGoat Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Only kind of, that’s why I want to elevate it about a half inch. Also, that would allow the hooks from cam or ratchet straps to fit over the lower bars-they currently don’t clear the rails & the upper bars are about 1.25-1.5” diameter-too wide for the hooks.? I’m working on solving this now for my truck. I think short spacers should be adequate but I want aluminum as mine has to sit out in the constant rain for the next 10 years. I do worry that this might increase wind noise however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The sun roof opens but the glass barely taps the bar, I've been wanting to raise it just ever so slightly but just haven't found the time to do it yet.

Hopefully soon I'll have a solution to fix this problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
