Need offroading friends

hi! I don't necessarily drive an offroader but would love to do a bit of mudding for the heck of it. Looking for friends who drive trucks and have tow hitch so I don't get stranded and stuck again

Any suggestions for a non-slip spray I can use on my plastic truck bed liner?

I use my truck quite frequently but my bed has a plastic liner that I don’t want to get rid of due to the price of a new one. I want to coat the one I have with something, i’m just not sure what would work best on plastic. I was thinking just regular spray in bed liner, or maybe undercoat. Not sure if anyone has any advice. Thanks, (I included a pic of my truck, an ‘89 F-150 that I daily drive.)

Upgrade ideas for 01 Ram 1500 5.2

I’m considering options on increasing horsepower on my truck(low budget of course) I’ve opened up the exhaust and put a high output alternator on it for the stereo, but I’d like to compete with some of my buddies if I was to do some light racing 😉 (Ignore the bumper, that was younger me who built that) I’d like to not pull the motor out and rebuild it, but that’s always an option if it’s cost effective It also has a rebuilt 46re with some heavier duty parts

Purchased a used ranch hand bumper, don’t know what this is.

I purchased a used ranch hand bumper and the guy who I bought it from gave me the hardware including these C brackets. I have it securely installed and hooked everything back up and for the life of me I can’t figure out what they’re supposed to be for. If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated.

Can I run 275/65R18 tires with 4 inch lift and not look silly?

I can’t find many photos of how this would look and don’t want to make my truck look super silly.

I eventually plan to get both offset rims and a lift but as I can only get one right now which do y’all think I should go for, and will a 4 inch lift look silly with these sized tires?

$15k to spend, recommendations?

I recently purchased this super clean, straight bodied 1994 1500. I got it at a good price and am left with about 15k to spend on it. I could probably save this money but I would really like to invest it and make this a fun and nice daily driver.

The motor is pretty sluggish but it runs fine and no outstanding issues with the car. Interior is really clean and pristine as well. I was going to get a 383 put in and a Holley efi but the quote for both is coming in at close to 20k which is more than I want to spend and doesn’t leave me room for anything else for a while.

Recommendations for how best to use the remaining 15k?

New to trucks, should i remove 2/3 of these?

Keeping my summers in the back for highway traction. I know not to have the 2 off the bed lips too tight, they are just snug. The one on the bottom front is attached to a proper tie down point. I dont want anything to bend, i dont even know if they will help with securement. Whats do you think?

I want to modify the rear view window on my 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71.

Currently, on my truck I have one solid piece of glass with the defrosting wire running through it on my rear view window. I would love to be able to switch it up and have a sliding glass window instead of a single piece of glass, mostly to be able to let my dog stick his head out of it but also to throw things into the bed if need be. I’m checking here to see 1st off if it’s possible but 2nd to see if anyone has any recommendations for the project and 3rd if anyone has done it, any tips for doing this myself. I would love to be able to keep the rear defroster if possible and would also love to have the window controlled by a switch. However if neither of those are feasible or cost effective I’ll probably go without them.
