brush on bed liner for a truck......on your running boards? i was thinking about it. wouldnt scratch them right? and better grip too? right? im thinkg about doing it to experiment. has anyone else done it? is it worth the time?
 
Sean, If the product doesn't cost much. Apply some to a sheet of plywood, stake it to the ground and drive over it several times with your sled. This will show you the durability without possibly ruining your trailer decking.

Sounds to me he wants to put it on the running boards to add traction?
never thought of it but it makes sense to me
 
yeah ive worked with both i think that the brush on is by far better then the spray on. but that is my opinon. if i have time i will give it a try and post pics. a gallon of the stuff is 100. but i have a lot left over from doing some truck beds.
 
someone on here did this this last winter or spring, and got a lot of replies on what people thought, now i can't remember who it was. I would think it would work alright. The look wouldn't be the most attractive thing in my opinion by its not my sled. Should definately be pretty grippy. Will it crack in extremely cold temperatures, or melt from the heat of the heat exchangers? I dont know the temperature ratings on the stuff. Should probably check into that before doing it. Also the stuff is pretty thick and might hold the suspension bolts out too far to get a good bite on the shafts, so you might have some trouble there unless you somehow leave a circle around the bolt holes open. That would look kind of cool too, to have silver around the bolt holes. Just my opinions.
 
Sean, Sorry about that, I misunderstood. :o| For 100.00 a gallon, why not try surefoot III's from Frett Bros. for 50.00. They provide lots of grip and would not think twice about having them on my sled. I also have the smooth running boards that proved zero grip.

are you sure it won't affect the cooling. On Rox tread install instructions, they leave part of the top of the running board uncovered for cooling reasons. This might trap to much heat. Maxdlx
 
well i guess im not going to do it heres why..

1. dont know if it will effect heat.
2. its kinda rubbery and snow that has melted on freezes after you turn your sled off. and trying to get the ice off would be a pain with this stuff on.
 
i had some of that stuff leftover from my truck bed- herculiner i think it was- and what i did with it was, coat the rocker panels on my truck- the whole length where you climb in and out of the truck and always kick your feet off. worked great for that.
