    In case anyone is going to try a bed liner product, I've been experimenting a little with liners. The spray on kind sucks. The brush on kind works, but is very hot on the plastic. It breaks down ABS and HIPS<_< I don't know yet if the efected layer will harden back up yet. I'll give it a couple days drying time and check to see. Don't know what the actual Rhino Liner is made of, so I don't know if it will work the same. Trial and error
  2. Yes, just one layer, The double layer you see is where the two ends are sewn togeather. I think you will love this mod. The 'V' in the front is made with two inch elastic. It keeps your thighs from turning in or out. Hope this helps. Wyatt.
  3. I'm bout 5-10 as well. I trimmed my armor after each troop untill I had it dialed in. Fits good now. The Chest and back can be trimmed from the top to get it a little higher and tighter fit.

    You're right Jim. In fact I used it in my FX bucket. Great liner, but not much in the way of making a bucket more solid. Great for acustic deadening though. The bigest drawback is that if you need to pull out velcro or hot glue, it pulls the rubber out with it. The helpful hardware guy at Ace told me that they also make a rattlecan liner as well, though I don't know how good it is. I can't imagine that it would be viscous enough coming out of a spray can. I think I'll just bite the bullet and get the real Rhino liner. The stuff is exelent. My father in law had his truck bed Rhino Lined and you can't scratch it. I'll post if it works.

    Rhino lining is a fibered tefflon coating that's applied with a hopper, kind of like drywall mud. They have a Rhino lining substitute at wally world. $50 for a gallon can. Don't know what I would do with the rest of it though. Maybe do up some buckets?

    I got my kit yesterday Very nice kit. A lot like the FX. I like the fact that the eyes are not cut out. I always like my own cut lines better. I won't get to work on it for a while yet, but I have the gist of how I'm going to do it. I'm getting the inside of this one Rhino Lined to make it a little bit more durable. I bought just the five basic pieces for the bucket, no directions, decals or lenses. It will give me a little more to do, and I saved money on the stuff that I realy don't use. I'm considering a whole set of this stuff, but I want to see it first. Other than the bucket, the FX armor suits me fine.
  7. I guess I'm lucky that way. When I get mobbed by fems it makes me feel good, and my wife gets a kick out of it. She's fine with it cause she knows where this troopr is bunking.
  8. Yeah, I'll have to agree with Paul. I like the look of the bubble lenses, but I trooped with them twice and got rid of them. I couldn't see out of them for crap, and Ithey gave me a killer headache. I've heard the bubble lenses called 'hero lenses' on several occations, but I do believe some of the TK's in ROTJ had bubble lenses.

    sweet. So boozel, anything I should be aware of with this kit?
  10. Well, I sent for a new smaller bucket. After much inspection I found that the RT suits me the best. Should have it by next month. I'll take plenty of pic so I can post a tutorial. The kit comes pre trimmed, which I'm not all that excited about. The guy took 25 bucks off the price because I'm not getting decals, lenses or directions. I can't wait. This is my first RT, and I'm so looking forword to working on it.
  11. Pick one. I ship these in a 7x10 bubble mailer.
  12. Yes. please shoot me a zip code so I can calculate shipping.
  13. I can take 4 orders at this time. We will be moving, so I'm going to cap it after those, untill I get set up at our new place
  14. You're quite welcome. I was considering on producing some of these for all those troopers that are too big of whimps to sew
  15. Those drop boxes do tend to slap around. I was thinking of puting spray foam in mine.
  16. A satisfied costomer is the best kind to have. If for any reason your're not satisfied, or didn't get your order, just shoot me a pm and we'll fix the problem. Either with a replacement or just a plain refund.
  17. All Orders are going out tomorrow and I am now taking orers for six UnderArmor tops. paypal mandog@centurytel.net $55 shipped.
  18. I use and recomend these, for comfort, durability and authenticity. ----------
  19. Man, I only wish. Course they did wonders with what they had back in the day. Plastics have come a long way since then.
  20. That would be now if you don't want to wait til the next one. I have two open slots right now for orders.
  21. These are custom orders. All sizes available. They are not padded.
  22. I am taking orders for four UnderArmor tops.
  23. Troopermaster, If you are doing pulls. try here: -------They have the best prices I've found so far.
