anyone with bedliner on full sides??

[bwr9300]

Took my LC out a couple weekends ago up an old mining road. Had to hug the mountain-up side of the road not to lose her off the mountain-down side. scratched up pretty gnarly.

Had planned on doing some line-x or herculiner or some type of bedliner on the bottom quarter of the sides... but a buddy of mine has a 60 and mentioned he might do the bedliner on from top to bottom on sides. That it sounded like a solid idea... what do yall think? For bedlined 80 minus the top ?!anyone done this and have pics?

I had a friend who did his entire truck (old Nissan or something), and it had additional problems overheating, and said it was noticeably heavier when driving.

I was thinking about doing the same to my LX450, but only to the body cladding along the sides, and the bumpers.


(I think it would look better than the existing color scheme anyway)

Anyone? Yup. Sides, hood, roof...

This is something that Nay would do.

the one thing always said is prep make sure you do all prep work really well to do quality job

How could it be noticeably heavier when it only takes a couple of gallons? 5 gallons at the most? 50 LBS.? Wind resistance? I'm asking because I've been trying to decide to do the flair area, or just line the whole thing

 

[bwr9300]

I'm still hoping someone hasn't seen this thread who has lined the whole exterior of their 80, and they're going to see it and post some pics for us to see. Would lining the whole exterior really cause problems with overheating? We're not driving nissans!

I believe Nay has his fully done in green. I have seen this talked about before I bet if you search you will find it. Search (Durbak)

Isn't Nay's Avavado NOT green

yes many having bedlined their flared and flareless 80's. tblume has a nice flareless example of one. Ebag333 duraback (I think that was the product) his flared 80.

Some quick searches will provide plenty of pics.

Ebag333 duraback (I think that was the product) his flared 80.

Applied to the body cladding (bit different than just flares), and it's Duplicolor's spray on bedliner. Get it right.

Yup.

[ardentyota]

I'm going to be lining mine in Tan Al's Liner this summer. I'll definitely post up pics when I do.

Yup, Coated the entire truck with U-pol tinted with factory 40th Dark Emerald Green. Can't say it is any heavier. It took less than two gallons to coat the whole truck. The key is prep, prep, prep.

 

[MSGGrunt]

And no, I had no problems with overheating. Don't see why you would. And I was turbo'd to boot...

 

[bwr9300]

There you go! That's what I was hoping for! I did lots of searching and found tons of lining the bottom of the sides and "Nay" did his in avocado, but thats all I could find for total lining. When you talk about preping is that explained in the package of liner? any tips on prepping for lining the outside??

 

[sl33p3]

beno has also lined the exterior (and interior IIRC)... there are others i know, but they escape me atm, might be the IPA talking...

and for prep, scotchbright, and wax/grease remover... i believe NAY had a great writeup when he was doing his... i seem to remember in process pics? edit-- derp. i should have read post 12, that's the on i was thinking of...

i'm going off memory since i researched all this months ago, i have the bad clearcoat 6M1 syndrome... was going to do a full cover, but i really like the 6M1 and hate to lose it all. so far i have only duplicoated the flares...

fyi durabac will send you all the sample chips you want...

 

[Bluetribal]

Did somebody say prep... One key is to go over the tape with a hard roller wheel so the liner doesn't seep under as much and put the take on over-lapping in one direction so it is easier to take off.

By the way if you are going to roll on Herculiner or Durabak this door jamb prep work is not necessary because it does not seep into the door jamb cracks.

And one last tip, you will want to overlap at the foot wells or else it will peal back from your foot dragging.

The original Avocado was DanKunz, his was lined with industrial tank lining AGES ago...not so much the color avocado as the texture. I have below the molding lines/flares and a bikini style front end done on mine. Weight? Not a factor...used a 25# bucket of material to spray mine, so probably only 18# added.

With the liner, your body will be almost scratch proof and very dent resistant.

Did you prep it all yourself? Did you apply the coating yourself? Price? Etc.?
