Let's hope for their sake they don't! That reaper means certain death to anyone who cuts me off.

Technically yes, but we all know when someone says ricer, we know exactly what it means.

Sorry guys...we southern boys were taught that anything that came from Japan was a ricer. Both of the above fall in that catagory, which includes my wonderful Toyota truck that will go to the grave with me, if I have anything to say about it.

Just got done doing the bed liner, the stuff I used is awesome!! I want to spray everything in bed liner now.









I used U-POL Raptor Liner, I have seen a ton of good reviews on the stuff. It is easy to shoot, went on very even and has a great texture. I started looking around online and found that you can actually buy this same liner that mixes with 10% of any paint you want to die it that color.

does it have a rubbery texture to it?

i found that the cheapo walmart spray can bedliner works great for rocker panel/bumper protection...but sucks for keeping stuff in place in the bed

I used U-POL Raptor liner. You can buy the stuff in a kit with four cans and the gun included online, but I got a single can of the stuff and the gun at a local paint shop.


I believe it is a rubbery finish, i havnt touched it yet to find out, but it looks like it would keep stuff from moving around in a truck bed.

So I got the thing installed today, I am very happy with the outcome. Let me know what you guys think.





I didnt really want to put the license plate on there, but i didnt feel like getting pulled over just to have to put it on later.

After letting the stuff dry for a couple of days it doesnt feel like it would keep stuff in place in the back of a truck. This stuff feels very durable though, it is perfect for bumpers or any other type of protection. It is more of a plastic feel rather than rubber.

Now it is time to get the skid plate built and then I need to start looking for ideas for the back bumper. For the rear I want to build a swing out so it might wait until spring so i can get some dry days.
