Line-X? Looks good and should take some abuse.

 

No did it myself with Raptor Liner. Sprayed my whole Xterra with it years ago and love the stuff

Been a while since I've posted. Haven't done much to the truck, but today I did get her tuned & messed around with some cans of plasti dip. (2 things were edited, let's see who could spot them).

I had the bed done when I bought the truck last year. I scrubbed the backend down last weekend and the Line-X looks new again...

Thank you, I'm in the process of colormatching the handles and caps. I already did the bumpers, door trim, and one of the handles, just need to finish the rest.

Sorry buddy, been really busy at work. I was going to do a build for my truck last weekend, but didnt get to it.

 

Here are some pictures of the module that was installed to have the ability to take over the factory display with 2 RCA component inputs. Gonna pick up an HDMI to composite device so I can hook up my Miracast dongle and have the ability to mirror my phone to the dash!!

 

 

more info and where did you get the module from would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Did you color match the fender flares? If so, please share the details...

Yes sir, just used some white plasti dip and some pearlizer. 5 coats each.

I think it looks good. Did you take them off to do them, or mask and paint on the truck? I've thought about doing the same on mine. It will be interesting to see how durable it is sine they are prone to road debris.

Added these bad boys to cover up the airbag warning stickers on the sun visor. Picture isnt the best but it looks amazing in persone438b21c79f4935cc22bc1a6c88a8f7c.jpg

I took them off, very easy. The little "wind/mud" flap on the rear was a bit of pain to put back on properly but nothing too extreme, just an inconvenience. After driving hundreds of miles with them on I've noticed the inner part gets the dirtiest obviously and it's tough to clean (I have a white truck though) but they've held up well. One has a very tiny chip but that's after hundreds of miles in different terrains (gravel, dirt, pavement).

Finally installed the front end of my Mcgaughy lift, hopefully will finish up the back tomorrow.

    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
