Picked up some pads and rotors for the rear of my truck. Hope to get to them soon. Need to do fronts and abs sensors as well.

How do you like it? What type of prep did you do? How many cans and coats did it take?
It took all day literally to do. I started by sanding the clear coat off the inside of the bad. Then I used my air compressor to blow all the dust out. I then wiped the entire inside of the bed down with deglosser making sure to wipe down any areas that still had a shine to it. I used the Hercaliner kit: comes with 1 gallon of Hercaliner 1 scuff pad witch is useless and a brush and 2 rollers. It only took 2 coats and that's exactly how much 1 gallon can do. I'm gonna be adding a 3 and 4th coat to mine I want it a little thicker but I also do a lot of heavy duty hauling. I hope this helps and yes I will use this stuff on every truck I own even gonna use it on the daughters pickup

Cool thanks for the info. I will need 2 kits as well probably cause I haul stuff everyday and want a good thick coat. Just debating wether to do it myself or take it to a line x shop.

It's much cheaper to do it yourself and it's kinda relaxing. I have 3 teenagers maybe I just needed an excuse to get out of the house. Lol

I washed mine today as well as put a new alternator on. After 115k the original one finally gave up the ghost.

Replaced 2 u joints in the rear drives haft today. What a pita. The middle one was the worst bearing caps were froze and took lots of persuasion.

Removed my steps in an effort to get rid of my popping noise that seems to be coming from the chassis, maybe my worn body mount bushings. But alas it did not help. Then I finished installing the rest of my interior LED's that I had. Posted some pics in my thread.

It sounds weird but since I replaced my inner tie rod end/rod assembly I have not heard it. Might want to check yours
