How did you do your rails with the plastic caps being taken off? When I got mine done they said they couldn't take the caps off because the are holes under them holding them on. I would still like to take the junk plastic caps off and have them rhino lined. Thanks

Normally I would agree with you but my dirt bike fell over and gouged a bunch of paint off the top of the bed. Take a look at the photos to see what I mean.

Looks good
No took them off and wrapped them

Thank you! I own a bed lining company so I wanted to show what could be done with it.

They are right. It acctaully took a long time to sand down the ridges on the bed rail caps. We also filled the gap with fiber/bondo before we sprayed.

Those are called L-Track. Same stuff they use to hold down airline seats and tie down cargo in the cargo bays. Im in the proccess of building a system to help with loading my snow bike and hold it in place. Ill post photos off it when its all done.

I love how you did it inside the doors. Mine always get so muddy every time I go off road. I'm afraid it will rust eventually
