⏩ Where did this start?
I really enjoy tinkering with different projects - they usually require a whole bunch of research and learning along the way. It's satisfying on doing a thing and standing back and going 'Yeah! Totally did that!'. I had a bunch of mates asking 'how did you know how to do that?' and 'I couldn't never do that myself so I thought; I need to start something where I can help others that might be thinking the same thing :)
⏩ What will you find here?
The purpose is simply to make these videos as top quality and helpful as I can. They will always be free, there's ZERO agenda and the only motive is to try and upload what I would want to watch to help with that particular project. I'm also keen to keep building this little community and will try to answer all questions when asked - fire away :)
⏩ What's with the gloves?
Not after any KZread fame here which is why I'm not in the vids - they're not about me they're about the how-to! I used the gloves for the first couple of projects I filmed which just happened to be messy ones and it kinda just became a thing. Plus adds a little more personality I guess :)
New videos are being uploaded regularly so if there's something you'd like to see, have Questions and/or Comments drop me a line.
Cheers guys.
Adam

It looks very good. The day after I picked up my new GSR Triton I had the tub coated with Line-X. A bit exxy at $1,200 but the job was perfect. I would reccomend Line-X. Given the cost of the DIY Raptor kits in the video link and the not inconsiderable amount of work involved for a DIY job, the coin I spent of the professionals doing the job for me looks pretty reasonable now.

That sounds like a terrible idea to me. $349 compared to $1200 :o
A couple of questions; 1) Wouldn't sand blasting be quicker and easier? (I have the feeling the answer is yes, but only if you own a sand blaster) 2) Could you rinse the bed out with a pressure washer and hit it with the turp after it dries? Great video! I love your content.

1) Definitely not, just wouldn't be worth the cost compared to just sanding 2) yep sure could, just would take longer as it needs to be completely dry 👍

Great video thanks Adam, the Raptor coat does look good. I agree with you about the plastic tub liners plus they are slippery. I will now go for the spray on Raptor coat because I have an air compressor and I think you said the spray gun comes with the kit. It looked to me you removed all the tie downs and the black plastic plugs in the front wall of the tub. Did you do a video on installing the four weather shields on your DMax?

As always, great video. Can the roller be reinstalled after applying this? And can the roller be installed without the sailplane as I'm loving the look without it. Thanks for this series, I've only done a few of your mods but they have helped immensely.

Another silly question 🤣 I've just applied my first coat and am nearing the finish of the 60min set time, problem is I wanna do the 2nd coat but it's the evening and I'm worried the sound of the compressor will not appeal to my neighbours... Did you do your second coat at night time? 😂 I'm thinking of leaving it to set overnight send giving it a little scuff tomorrow and applying the second coat as I've seen that is an option. Would much prefer to do it now though...

Yeah is best to do the second before everything is fully set, you'd prob be ok if you did the second in the morning, needs a couple days to cure completely

Great video as always mate. I did fast forward a few sections so I may have just missed the answer to my question. Apologies if so. But. Now the water drains straight into the tub? Instead of under the liner keeping the gear in the tub dry. So this isn't necessarily a great idea unless your going to do the extra mods you have for us in the coming videos? CHEERS mate.

Hi, yeah factory drains straight into tub. I did some testing at the time with roller closed and spraying the hose full pelt on top and couldn't get anything more than a couple drops through the 'drain'. Don't think would be an issue. I've since changed to the roll r cover (vid on the channel) which has proper drains out the headboard end

@VideoShowMeHow fantastic results. Fingers crossed I'm a lucky one to have the same results with my roller shutter. Some people claim they get a lot of water in the tub even with the drainage under the stock tub liner. Thanks for replying and keep up the great content 👌

Yeah, I used to get a little bit in the top left corner, not that much though, I think it's more so the slats. In saying that I've had standing water completely covering the factory roller cover and no water was coming in. They're pretty good. It's say they are 90% water proof, don't expect the same as inside the vehicle, but pretty good. At the end of the day, it is just water anyway 😁

Also in this video there a two round holes and the front of the tub on each side. Just wondering what these are? Hope my questions make sense and thanks again for this channel and all your advice.
