Raptor liner

Had my bowteck explode at 3/4 draw! Scared the hell out of me and I instantly started trying to feel around my body for an arrow sticking out of me! Went to get it repaid so I could sell it and get the new halon. Shot the halon and didn’t feel like it was worth the $1,000 compared to keeping my bow. Bowtech fixed it for free so I can’t complain! 5 year old admiral.

Truck is an 02 f150 with 355,000 lol
Plowed snow with it commercially for 8 years now!
Still on original motor and trans only went out because I slapped it in drive while still backing up plowing snow.

The thing is a walking ford commercial lol.

Nice tine length dude

Thank you sir! I hunted this deer for 2-3 months straight! Couldn’t get him closer than 45-50 yds. Grunted him into my area over a dozen times and saw him almost every time I went out. He was always hanging out with a really nice 9 pointer that would walk right by me. I named him Ghost because he would literally appear out of nowhere ever time I saw him. I’d be watching the field and look behind me, turn around and he was in the middle eating lol. Had him chase a fawn past me the 2nd week I was hunting him and I about ripped the limbs off my bow pulling it back so fast but he went from 20 yds to gone in seconds. I’ve been hunting 14 years and I’ve never hunted one buck so hard in my life.

Ironically I shot him out of a ground blind that I had brushed in hoping to get closer to his main travel path. The irony is that I took my 4 year old with me hunting for her first time the night I shot him. He must have been attracted to the sound of her eating pretzels or slurping a water bottle.

His brows are just shy of 12 inches. Pretty solid buck!

Still at a standstill waiting on this darn water tank… I had to special order the thing and was told it would be delivered to the store in 2 weeks… that was 3 weeks ago. I went ahead and put the SW battery in today. It will start the pressure washer motor as well.

It is also wired to the alternator so it charges while I drive.

I want to get the tank in before I plumb anything. I’d hate to have to do it over if the dimensions were not exactly like advertised.

Hi there.

Really digging the skid set up there. I have a Tundra with a 6 ft bed which I’m setting up for pressure washing as well as window cleaning, so every inch matters. May I ask where you got the skid made and how much it cost? Thanks in advance.

I welded that up myself. Maybe $200 in it. I’d give it to you if you lives close!

Oh wow, that’s an incredibly generous offer. I’m in Kentucky, so I am a few hours away, but I’d be more than happy to come pick it up if you’re serious! I’ve been looking online for the last couple of hours and haven’t found one like it. Custom made makes sense. Do you like bourbon?

Ill take it if he don’t want it @SchertzServicesLLC, @DisplacedTexan said as long as your delivering all the way to Arkiesaw then throw a couple cat boxes on there. your such a giving person man lol.

I don’t have a need for it! I have a 200 gallon flat bottom tank that fits under it. I’d sell that for $200 and I paid like $400 for it 2 years ago.

Doesn’t come with the reels. I’d have to measure it and make sure it fits length and width for you.

@Hotshot that’s a heck of a drive :joy:

@SchertzServicesLLC I love my raptor liner put it in all my trucks. I have spilled chemicals,paint, salt and brine in the back of it it. I did learn the hard way to double the coating it really makes a difference if you spill chems or salt brine

That’s a great offer at the price of steel these days.

Just let me know. It’s probably froze to the ground but the forklift can fix that!

I had sh and brine eat right through it in a year. Have a couple holes in the bed already.

Did you put the epoxy down first. Did you spray it for the thin or double coat

I primed it first then sprayed 2 coats. But the bed was already thinning where it went through. Rest of it looks ok.

Damn it was so promising! Started reading this thread without looking at the date and then saw it was 2 years old. Kept scrolling to see the final setup, then it went backwards lol. Is raptor liner the same stuff that they charge a fortune for to install professionally? You know that really thick stuff that you see that looks like it came from the factory? I sprayed that flexseal crap, like 10 spray cans worth and 2 months later had rust everywhere again. My custom built skid to hold all of my equipment cost 5 grand (a deal at 166 man hours) and I want it to last. I need to do something before next season to save it. Do you have any pics of the rig with all your equipment mounted?
