Philo, you get bored next weekend there's a big dodge campout in glamis next weekend. I posted the details in the events section.

[philofab]

Been thinking about front glass and a 06-09 clip swap. I like the glassworks front fenders better though. I need to see them both in person, as I'm afraid the flare might be a little too much for offset of wheel.

I wonder where I can buy the plastic part of that roof rack. I want to make one similar for my bronco.

It's valance material that trophy trucks use. I got a 4x8 sheet from a local (Las Vegas) plastic store. I can't remember if it's ABS or Polytetrafluoroethylene.

Solo was selling front valance size sherts of it at the swapmeet

[ChaseTruck754]

There's also a guy on DR who sells the fronts for like $65 each of so if I remember right. No clue if that's a good deal or not though.

The 4x8 sheet cost me $65

If those are glass fenders on the black truck I like em, looks good how crisp the front fender line is. Do it philo!

Or HDPE? High Density PolyEthylene ? PTFE is the slippery stuff like teflon, but sheets and/or blocks. ?

[philofab]

You are right Rod. HDPE, PTFE is Teflon.

PTFE is Teflon, Teflon is just the trade name for it. Black UHMW also works well and is very crack resistant. What a lot of rock crawler guys use for skid plates.

The 4x8 sheet cost me $65

Figured that was the case & the guy was makin $.

I personally hate the looks of those front valances, so I never looked into the stuff

The new bumper for this truck will be made of it... Right now top speed has been 103 on GPS. I am trying to gain aero on the top end.

[philofab]

Update, top speed is currently 118. Got a fresh wrap on it too, had it done at Envious Wraps in Santa Ana. Gotta redo the powder coat on the roof rack before I put it back on.

[SteveG]

Nice! What's a wrap like that cost?

Plus I saw on the facial book that you will be plasti-dipping the grille, etc. Have you used that stuff before? I stumbled across it while on a tundra site looking for parts. Watched a few you-tube vids on it & it looks pretty cool.
