Is that rubberized undercoating or bed liner?

Never seen anything like that before- it looks good. Its probably gonna suck after you start getting dirt stuck in the pits and can't get it out and hope it still looks good after the sun fades it.

thats why i went with herculiner. they have a specail coating that when it starts to fade, it brings back the black in it.

it took me about a week and a half, and did 99% of it without help. Have to say the inside was way more of a bitch, because of the sound mats, then the outside.

Im gonna take some good pics on a good camera. I jumped out of bed this mornin and took those right as the sun came up so it doesnt do it justice.

I appreciate all the good comments. The cool kids over at DF didnt say the same.

Now you just have to use super seal on on it instead of wax.

A shit load or superseal or tire shine and that shit will shine like hell.

To be honest, I personally don't like it.  Would never dream of doing it to my truck.

However, I will say this.  You did one hell of a job!  Its very unique, and I'm glad that you like it.  Thats what matters the most.  That took a lot of time and effort, and I will definitely say that you did one hell of a job.

I appreciate all the good comments. The cool kids over at DF didnt say the same.

Most of the people over on the DF are effin' ghey anymore. So I wouldn't take their opinions too seriously. It's like the same stupid shit repeated everyday...

-How can I get better gas mileage?
-How can I make my truck quieter?
-How far can I lower my 4x4?
-Can I fit 24" wheels on my ram?
-What can I do to make my 5,500 pound truck go fast like a sports car? I mean it's got a V-8...
-I got limo tint
-What should I say to my mechanic so he thinks I know what i'm talking about and doesn't rip me off?
-How do I take my lift off? It's not very practical.
-Mud tires are big and stupid
-Help, My mechanic keeps sticking his finger in my butt
-Help, I towed a 25,000 pound trailer with my fucking 1500 and my shitty transmission crapped out
-Lockers just aren't practical for a daily driver
-The transmission on my 10 year old truck pooped out today =(
-How much horsepower will a 180 degree thermostat give me?
-What kind of mods can I get for like $50 that will give me alot of HP?
-I'm selling my truck for something that gets good gas mileage

Shit get's old...

Looks like they were more intrested in the new forum than the truck. Maybe if you put new tint and wrote a Doogie Howser blog explaining why
you did it and wich family members of yours disapprove they would like it more.
