If you pull up the same guide for your old truck, the 5000lb asterisk is there as well. Just saying.
It is there as a CYA. Same as the 10% tongue weight to hit the max tow numbers. Note how 10% puts you at the ~1000lbs of tongue weight of a standard class IV for nearly all the max tow...
Poly. Once it started kicking a bit it'd stick. I kind of realized less was more with it. Wet out leave it for 5-10 minutes and work elsewhere then go back and final roll was ultimately the play.
I did it both ways, gravity helped but when you'd get the top out, the edges would pull and vice-versa. The best was going down 8 inches on each side, the weight kept it good enough like that.
I routered the tops of my stringers on my project as well. It was still a chore to get the 1708 to lay over a rounded 3/4 sheet.
Mind you in most places, my original stringers weren't capped and the deck just stapled to them. Anything is better than that.
When I make beer brats I toss it in the mix instead of boiling or the like. I've had issues with stronger alcohols not cooking out as nicely so you do have to play around with it. Used a lot of test patties for that recipie.
I will preface this with the fact that I am not a professional and this is just based on what I've read and seen others do any my own limited experience working with the stuff...
I don't see a major issue with it... I would just do a so called "primer" coat.... The only issue I think you can...
One thing I thought about... I have no capacity plate on the boat. Never had one as long as we had it. I'm going to have to reach out to get the exact specs and see if I can get one made.
One other thing noted I'd have to check... the 4.3 pushrod slots look like they could get pretty tight if I increase the ratio.... Might need to clearance them a tad if I end up using the 1.6 rockers....
I actually thumbed through tailgunners threads not long before posting this. The hotrodders one seemed to go off on tangent but the iboats one was pretty good though had some gaps.
I think somewhere I have a box of the offset keepers for a vortec as well if that does become an issue. But I...
Taylor allegedly claims my trim is NLA is the problem. I took pictures a while ago and reached out and that was their response. I am hoping to take some measurements and find something close enough so I don't have to care as much... The other issue is the black spacers that hold the glass in the...
So I've started planning phase 2.... Couple of things on the punch list though some I may make a new thread for just for some better opinions... Also, since we had the photo glitch I may go through and do a condensed version of this thread with all the photos in the right place incase it helps...
