    painting over carc

    It’s held up very well in the interior. I don’t know what other liners are out there. I will say Raptor is a 2 part component mix. Meaning you mix a hardener with it. I wouldn’t waste your time with any rattle can “bed liner”.

    Tacom gauges

    Has anybody had any experience with the Tacom branded replacement gauges? I’m in need of a fuel gauge. I just ordered a NOS oil pressure gauge, but not sure how long that will last. Some of the NOS gauges seem to be problematic from what I’ve read. Thanks

    New guy here: wondering why folks convert to super singles?

    One other thing that I didn’t see mentioned above. The original dual wheel setup on the m939 will have inner tubes and a lock ring on the wheel. The singles will be tube less. As long as bubba didn’t own the truck before you.

    painting over carc

    Not sure if this helps you. I applied raptor liner to the inside of my cab. At first I started to sand the carc.

    Do you still get notified if the persons mailbox is full? Not sure if it still does it with the new website format.

    Is it safer to wear seatbelts, or not?

    I would think your chances of living are higher wearing a seat belt vs not wearing one. Let’s say for example you are involved in a head on collision with your fmv. The vehicle that hit you was a lot smaller. Your chances of getting ejected out of the vehicle are pretty high. Due to physics, no...

    Sandblasted metal prep before Behr paint

    I will be painting my deuce with Behr paint soon. The bed and the cab have Carc on them. They will require minor sanding and priming in small areas. However I will have to sandblast my hard top. Also I have an unpainted NOS outer windshield frame that is raw steel. Once I sandblast and epoxy...

    My Swiss cheese floor...

    If there’s that many holes in the floor, I would learn how to weld aluminum and weld them up.

    Flat or satin.....

    I’m contemplating the same thing Ramdough. I have to make that decision soon. Are you using Behr paint? Search for member buffalobwana. He painted his m923a2 in satin.
