... however:
Your outward canting of the staffs places your vehicle's overall width OVER 8 ft. and may be a problem in some jurisdictions. You may have just crossed that OVERSIZE VEHICLE line.
8-1/2 feet is legal on interstate highways and on many State's highways as well, but NOT ALL. Some cities also limit OVW (overall vehicle width) to just 8'.
Typically, Mirrors are allowed to exceed the width limits IF THEY ARE OF A BREAK-AWAY DESIGN.
Are your flag staff mounts a "break away" design?
I sure didn't want to be a party-pooper. You've done some good work. Just figured it's better to consider those thoughts than to get a hefty citation for not fitting in your right-of-way.ColdWarrior, They are definetly not brake-away, I used 1/4" steel and thick wall 316SS pipe. I did not really think of being oversized, but it looks much worse than the picture shows. I will have to go measure. Thanks for the prospective, I would not of thought about it. Thanks
The material I used I order off of e bay. Called liner X-treeme, I have tried several different brands and this is the best stuff I have found and at a reasonable cost. The kit makes about 3 gallons of spray able material. Comes with 2 gallons of base, 2 quarts or reducer, 2 quarts of activator, and 2 bags of ground up rubber which is pretty fine, I would say there is about 4 cups of rubber per bag. It also comes with the spray gun. I sprayed it at about 75 PSI. The cost of the kit was $165.00 and $40 for shipping. The kit comes so you can mix 1 1/2 gallons at a time. It also comes in several different colors. It took 2 kits to do inside the entire bed... It took 1 kit to do the front fenders, front bumper, side steps, and rear bumper. It took 1 kit to the the entire interior and I also did the supports for the troop seats which I did in desert tan. Hope this was helpful.More info on the spray you used?
I've always liked these, BIG!I proved a deuce is not a very big truck.
No pics?Just finished painting mine. It has been an epic battle.
