Line-X

[Shandyman]

Just left line-x for a quote on the side steps/bars. The powder coating is coming off. Rock chips, slight rust. After some research it appears Line-x does the trick. Any Rangers out there have it? Got a decent quote also. $125 a side. Thanks! 🛻

Well, LineX is great stuff but I don't know how it'll hold up the constant sandblasting that steps are exposed to.
I do know rust though, I used to be in that racket, and unless they're sandblasted and primed immediately after, you'll be no further ahead. Trapping rust under paint or LineX is just as bad as exposed rust.
We all justify our money differently, but for $250 I'd be standing them myself once a year and painting them myself.

Thanks for your insight! Yeh trying to decide. Thougt about even replacing them with a different set but I like the way my N-Fabs look! Aggressive!

If it’s an established and reputable Line-x shop, I wouldn't worry about rusting through. They sand beds down before they spray them too and rust doesn’t seem to be a commonly reported problem with Line-x’d beds. As far as durability, I expect its as good an option as anything else.

Here’s the finished product! Line-X done a great job! Just picked up the side steps this AM!
