Doesn't hurt to protect against in anywhere you are.

 

It's a spray or wipe with a rag. Depends on how you buy it. No need to dry.

 

I can not get any further from the east coast and still be in the US... So, is it even necessary then??? I'm assuming it's to help prevent frame corrosion from trapped moisture between the slider and frame

As for buying it, I'd buy locally. Hardware stores usually have it, sometimes auto part stores too.

 

Where do I find it?? Online, parts store, help me out here; it's like pullin' teeth

 

You are correct. It's an ablative layer of protection.

I was getting there. I'm younger so time isn't as precious to me as those of you with a foot already in the grave. Be patient!

 

Well $hit, after looking at their website, now I want to coat the entire truck....

 

It stinks, but the smell wears off. It's great protection and cheaper than a frame.

 

I’ve heard it works well on blisters and warts

 

That's awesome; I giggled pretty hard at that one!!!!

 

There's that 1st gen sarcasm again...

 

Well, the good thing about being old is that I'm not putting $hit where I shouldn't anymore, so less risk of that these days

 

So, in review...

1: Acquire fluid film; *** do I need a gallon to cover frame, or will one of those smaller cans be enough???


2: Remove OE steps


3: Find new home for OE steps (concurrent w/the following subsequent steps)


4: Clean underneath truck


5: Apply Film


6: Install Armor
7: Fill up 38gal tank


8: Test armor


9: Return home

10: Drink beer


Note: Expect numerous people to suggest that I insert step 10 pretty much everywhere throughout the process except prior to steps 7 & 8

 

Home Depot carries it

 

Sounds like a plan. If you just want to coat where the sliders are going you can do that with an aerosol pretty easily. If you want to go full bore, the video I posted lays it out, and it can be done either way.

 

I'm not near a home depot... I'm sure one of our local HW stores will have it

Interesting that our resident all things electronic nerd didn't mention it during his install post of his WKORs

Neither did GT when he put his sliders on. BTW... GT can stand for Green Thunder or Green Turtle... So, he now gets the turtle ride emoji

 

Sorry my internet sleuthing, electric car driving, Elon garage shrine having, foamy soap cannon deploying, CO living, drink a beer consuming, while eating a steak dinner mealing, friend; but that label is outside of the scope of my tenure

 

Edit: Add Steps Per @Azblue

5.5: Take showers #s 1-4

6.5: Take shower #5

 

Yet another reason to get the hell out of there!
