LineX Facelift

[Traxx]

Picked up my fenders after a few weeks at the shop. I live out in the sticks and my only local LineX shop is always booked a few weeks in advance. Got them done with the Ultra to limit any fading, came out to 477 out the door.



Bit of a project getting the EG flares off, the clips are a real bugger to remove so I might go parts shopping for some speed clips and screws. Getting the fenders off is pretty straight forward, just time consuming.





Removed the vinyl grille letters and picked up a set of H2 grille letters so they will stand out when covered.




People for some reason assume LineX adds some ridiculous amount of weight.




Got the rears ready to install, new clips and fender seal. The adhesive that comes on the seal doesn't grab LineX too well so I just removed it and used Barge cement.



Since I had to take the front half apart anyway I decided to just remove it all and move up the date to spray the grille, winch bumper, brush guard and vent caps and have the hood done after its all back together.



Won't have my front end back for a couple weeks so I figure I will get some of the other half finished projects done while it's sitting idle.

Now seems like a great time to add a few things like a real horn of some sort, paint the core support since the middle section is copper for some reason, finish plumbing the front air line for the compressor and install new trans cooler lines since they both have a slow leak. Still undecided on the snorkel, I wanted to ditch it but every single person I talk to says no way.

Why didn't you spray the rear fender back bottom pieces? I did mine and look better than new.

What the gray bumper caps? I have new plastic for the entire truck, when I lineX the rest of it in a year or two I will have all the plastic parts done as well. This portion keeps the fenders and front end from ever getting rock chipped again.

Looks really good! I really gotta get mine done too. By the way, what was the model number of the clips you replaced? I'd figure I should by mine now because I know I am gonna break them lol

They don't make the lower fender clips any more but some of the plastic suppliers duplicate them. You will need 4 of them.

These are the fender liner clips and also the support bracket from the front of the fender to the headlight bucket.

Thanks for this info and links. I immediately went to eBay and added these to my watch list for future reference.
