You'll love that raptor liner, It's great stuff. The only problems that i could say I've had with it is a sharp metal corner from the latch on my cooler cut into it on my tailgate but other than that i throw stuff on it and slide things across all the time with no problems at all. Just watch out for those sharp edges! haha

Yeah, plus it has a nice semi gloss finish too it. Not too bright, but not dull like the 3m spray cans.

heres a few pics i snapped yesterday of the truck before i washed it.
And some of the clearance i have bewtween my fender wheel body and valance.

Turnt straight


Turnt left on the drivers side, at the closest point of rubbing the body.


Turnt right on the drivers side, at the closest point of rubbing the valance.


So even with 4" BS i could run a 10" wheel even with it being that close?
But if i get a 10" wheel with 4" BS would the wheel stick out past the truck any more than the 7" wheels? or just be wider under the truck?


Two of the whole truck.

Bumpers and rockers came out great. Now all you need is to spray that grille with some krylon. But if it were me I'd make it into a patman grille.

It's basically just an emblem delete. You cut out a section around the emblem on your grille, then using a second grille cut out the same size section from the honeycomb area and you use some type of a bonding adhesive to bond it to yours. Then all you do is paint it then reinstall. I think there is a write up somewhere on here.
