At first I thought the rag on the bedrail was the only change. Def a good improvement.

I can't tell you how long it took me to figure out what he had done to his truck!

3M makes a rubberized undercoating that comes in a spray can.
Goes on easy and very durable.
Autozone carries it.

That is exactly what I used. Figured it would prevent scratches and then future rust. My truck is black but the wheel wells weren't painted black so I did that right a way.

I have also heard of people using the spray on bedliner in a can. That works very well also.

It is a big difference. I did mine about a year ago w/ just flat black spray paint.

I did mine the 1st week I had it (and my brothers too)...even though mine is black - it wasn't painted under there! I used the 3M rubberized undercoating and it is holding up very well and keep the rocks thrown up from the tire tread from scratching the paint under there - plus it was butt ugly not being painted - looks great

At least yours was Silver under there (matching your body color) mine was a primer color sort of greenish gold

Not to be a **** or anything, but you can tell it's never been off pavement. I wish mine looked like that, and I clean the hell out of it. Gonna have to try that 3M rubber spray.

What are you talking about? I've taken my truck offroad since I bought it and I can clean mine to look just like that.
