SSilverado60 Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 NO, with a roll pan you no longer have a bumper in the rear of your truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adams2003 Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Guys!! I am roll pan stupid so here we go> If we get fiber glass, what do we do about the bumper?, can we use the regular inside of the bumper? or do we have eliminate the bumper to replace it with the fiber glass? Sorry simple question but I have to know this before i confirm. I am thinking if I ever get rear ended let's say by a F dumb 50 try to catch up with me, will I have a real bumper back there? A roll pan iliminates the bumper. If you get rear ended with a roll pan there's not much protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundowner Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Hey BSER, Pretty sure you can count me in, but I will confirm when I see you on the 24th in Dallas. Look forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pestep Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 I had a fiberglass rollpan on my last truck. Got rear ended in traffic once, around a 10 MPH collision. With a bumper, probably a few scratches. As it was, I had to replace the rollpan. That won't stop me from buying one of BSER's rollpans though. Not only does it look great, but I'm looking forward to pulling into the garage! I was preparing to do major surgery on the back wall of the garage, this is much better!

BSER Posted January 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Looking forward to it sundowner, I'm adding you to the confirmed. If you see it you'll have to have one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
director34 Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 The roll pan Looks great! I think I would order one myself but I have a few questions about the roll pan, what is the size of the gap between the roll pan ans the truck itself. The picture look like a very small gap and that makes it look wicked. One more thing, would they come painted and ready for install trailer hitch aside?

vdrumright Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Whats the latest on the roll pans. Are you at the required number of commited buyers yet? If so, how much longer till they will be ready to ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSER Posted January 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 The roll pans will be high quality(or i won't ship em) but will come unfinished. This will allow you to do some adjustment and get those gaps as tight as you want before painting (assuming you have a decent Body man). They will be similar in finish to other fiberglass products out there. You will have to paint but they will fit right out of the box. Every truck has slight differances so don't expect the pan to fit as tight as mine without some minor adjustments. We trial fitted mine several times before I was satisfied. My plan is to intall the first one on my truck. I will be able to take pics of it and give a resonable estimate of time/labor it will take to finish. All body shops charge diffrently so you'll have to get prices from them. I will probably install it unfinished so you will be able to get a clearer picture of what you will be purchasing. I will be attending the Dallas tunning rally on the 24th with several others from this forum and they will be able to give you a good idea of the quality you can expect. I will hopefully get a couple of them to add to this thread afterward with their opinions, then we will go to production if we have enough firm commitments. So far I have 13 that have confirmed they want one. Need 2 more confirmed then I will get the ball rolling. CONFIRMED: 1. pepstep 2. ssilverado60 3. m396#00-011 4. vdrumright 5. rico750sxi 6. adams2003 7. slimsoftball 8. silsteve 9. ash 10. 11. sundowner 12. plwtwo 13.Troyz34 14. What04 15.

vdrumright Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 If someone wanted, what would you charge to paint before you shipp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSilverado60 Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 What kind of a time frame are we looking at, and when would you want money by, I dont want to be confirmed and then not have the money when you need it and screw everyone else up at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSER Posted January 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 I don't want to paint em, to easy to get scratched up in shipment. Besides you should always do a trial fit before painting to get your holes drilled ect. if you don't you will scratch up the paint doing the install. It will be at least a month before I ask anyone for payment. I know I'm taking a chance here but I'm gonna pay for the set up, molds ect. and get the first one made before I charge anyone anything. I will ask for payment once I have a finished product that meets my standards. I also want to have my body man sign off that it will be simple to paint and install. What looks ok to me may not look good to a pro. In other words I'm not gonna take any chances on shipping something that may come back to haunt me. I also have to have one to figure how I'm gonna box them for shipment etc. So you guys still have some time yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEAR M UP Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 BSER, only one question.... Will this work with the stock hitch? If so, mark me as firm. OK guys don't get carried away with that firm comment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshift Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 That's awesome. Would luv to have something like that. In this city I'm better off with the steel bumper and the big receiver hanging off the hitch back there. Too many uninsureds that can't drive running around this town. They've never hit one of my trucks, but they've taken out 2 very nice cars (in a row) I've owned. WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
