After looking into this I think I can DIY raptor liner my entire crew cab long box for $1000.....it’s all in the prep!

Using a tig definitely helps! Mig can pull and stretch the tin or getting everything resistant welded

Is it pretty hard to get set up with tig? I have zero experience with it

Depends how hardcore you want to go. You can get some generic machines that’ll only cost you about a thousand and that comes with mig, tig, and stick. I’m not very good with tig myself and prefer mig but if you’re any good with oxy and acetylene then you’d have no problems

Should of sprayed the 50/50 mix of gear oil/ diesel fuel every 6 months under the whole under chassy,,, inner box sides and fenders... every 4 months if your unit encounters gravel roads with calcium on them...

My 2005 is still rust free...

Life is just that simple

Huh I’ve never heard of that. Don’t know how I’d feel about spraying a track with that

I know people in Ontario that get anti rust sprayed on the vehicles every fall, its popular over there, never seen anyone do it with diesel and oil,, should work

Huh. That is interesting. I usually just use spray on wax and haven’t had any issues
