Raptor on the flares and side rails looks sweet 👌 did mine all round and also the interior trim on some spots a few years back and it' came up awesome 👍

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 👍

I was waiting for this one. Thanks Mr VSMH.

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?

Would much prefer to do it now though...

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

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 😁
