Here is a link to a few hours of work condensed into just over 10 minutes. This is all the of the preperation, sanding, masking and spraying that goes into an Armaguard Spray In Truck Liner.

A New Option For Extra Load Capacity

Recently, I down sized from an F350 to an F150, as 90% of my driving is around town, dropping kids off at various venues and for business errands. But, I still use it to tow various heavy loads and to get to the family cabins, which requires 10kms of off road driving.

The F150 is a real treat to drive day-to-day, but, this relaxing ride comes at a price of a very lightly sprung rear suspension. Put any kind of weight over the rear axle and the truck sags. This makes the steering erratic and, the truck looks poor when loaded. So, here are the options I considered:

Overload springs or an add a leaf,

        I have done these in the past and it ruins the ride and the look of the truck when unloaded.

Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bags. I did not want these for a number of reasons;

1)      Every time I carry any kind of weight I would have to fiddle with filling and adjusting the bags, or purchase the expensive on board compressor system.

2)      The Airbags bolt to the Frame and the Axle, limiting suspension travel during off road use

3)      A minimum working pressure must be in the bags all times, therefore stiffening the ride all the time.

Super Springs.  I also had some concerns with these;

1)      Although Super Springs say they install quickly, to me the springs look complicated and heavy. When using a half ton every extra pound counts as there is very little to spare.

2)      I am assuming here, but I can only imagine over time these will start to rattle and squeak?

3)      As the Super Springs must always have some tension on them, they will change the factory ride of the truck.

Timbren SES (Suspension Enhancement System). I stumbled across these and was very intrigued;

1)      They are incredibly simple, making them reliable and light.

2)      They do not affect the ride when the truck is not loaded.

3)      They install in a half hour and are adjustable to tailor suit them to your trucks ride height.

4)      Once installed you never need to adjust them

So I ordered a set of Timbren’s and I am very impressed. The truck rides just like it always did when unloaded. I have since loaded it with everything from 500lbs to 1500lbs. With every load or any trailer it drives beautifully and sits exactly level.  I thought when loaded the truck might ride a little rough, but somehow it doesn’t!

The only down fall I can find is the suspension travel is limited when compressed, but still better travel than with the airbags.

In my opinion, if you carry any kind of weight in your truck you owe it to yourself to at least consider Timbren Suspension systems.

There are unlimited uses for Armaguard Spray on Coating. The main use for this product is pickup truck beds and therefore, Armaguard has developed one of the strongest coatings possible to protect and stand up to this abuse.

Armaguard is water tight, nearly indestructible, chemical resistant, food safe, flexible, good looking, and bonds permanently to almost any surface.

Unlike almost any other protective coating Armaguard is applied using very specialized and expensive equipment. Every other product I have seen is simply rolled or sprayed onto surfaces with standard applications.

Armaguard is a two part product that cures within five seconds of mixing. This makes is very strong, but also incredibly difficult to apply. No paint brushes or paint guns here, we use very specialized equipment which heats the product and pressurises it to 2200psi. The Armaguard mixes at the very tip of the specialized spray gun and is permanently cured to the surface it is sprayed to almost instantly. There is absolutely no way this product could be applied any other way. This is what puts it miles above any other protective coating and makes it the choice for absolutely any application.

If you want THE VERY BEST protection for what ever you have, Armaguard coating is the only answer.

We have attached photos of our mobile glass van bumpers and of a 20ft cargo trailer which we have applied Armaguard to. The van bumpers were chipped and rusting after only two years of commercial use. Coated with Armaguard, they look great and even standup to broken glass.

On the 20ft toy hauler, we applied the Armaguard to the floor and one foot up the wall. The floor will look just as good five years from now no matter what is dragged across it or spilled on it.

Our next Armaguard project is a Harley Motorbike. The customer has brought us all the fenders and gas tank from the bike. I will be sure to post some pictures when we finish these. I am sure the bike will look great!

Some examples of products Splashes has applied Armaguard to are; side step bars, bush guards, rocker panels, boats interior, commercial work trucks, snowmobile decks and trailers, ATV’s and so much more!
