LINE-X Stuff

[OffRoadin]

The truck bed looks really good. If there was a way to keep the Line-X from getting shredded off of the skid plate when off roading I would do it.

Avoid rocks.

LINE-X has a special primer called SF515. If you apply that first, it will increase adhesion to about a 2,000 pound pull off strength (per ASTM C297). SF515 was used for this undercarriage LINE-X application. Also, the LINE-X was spray to about a 1/4".

Rocks don't care 'bout no steeking pull off strength. Line-X is great stuff, but get it cold and it gets kind of brittle. Whack it on a rock when it's cold and bye bye Line-X.

I'm not sure how cold you mean, but LINE-X remains flexible from -40 degrees to +220 degrees stretching up to 115% which is probably just fine for most folks. It must be darn cold where you are!
