Mystery lift

Are HJ's mystery lift directions still around here anywhere?

Not currently. The flare installation is under review pending installation of replacement flares.

Hj, Can't he do everything else besides the skids flares and put rhino liner on his fenders?

Another point to bring up is lack of availability as there are no more sets forsale, so this would have to be the course of action.

Maybe a little cut and paste for the mystery lift for truck bed liner on the lower body panels

I guess the final peice to the mystery lift puzzle was the flares....since Justin is not making them available, it kinda messes up the whole Marvelous Mystery lift?

That pretty much sucks! Oh well, I hope mine don't crack like Hj's did!

The cuts can still be made. Then you could liner the area, liner the rockers, or do some body work and paint.

Since the flares are unavailable, and the potential was there for there to be no replacements, that was my understanding from the beginning.

I would probably install some press in caps for the flare holes in the rear fenders. Xmas tree fastners would work. Then liner the rockers and around the flares.

I have replaced the threads related to the flares after proof reading them , fixing some broken links and pictures.
The mod page will not be restored until I have time to replace my flares and add some preemptive measures to the install. Anything we can do to help things , needs to be done and I don't want any bad information out there , should there be an error in my installation instructions.

now you guys are catching onto the "lined" look

that was one of the first things i did when i got my truck. the Michigan winters will make quick work of rusting out the rockers, so this eliminates chips, scratches, and rust. I would suggest using a spray on liner though, the Hurculiner i used was pretty thin and wore down/off in about a year. you just have to re-apply yearly with the roll on.....but it might be the same for spray on

time for someone to be the guinea pig again!

The first mod I did was the Line-X in the bed, and had always thought about doing the rockers since doing the bed. It should blend in pretty nice since the truck is black. Depending on how the new wheels fit once I get them, I may have to be the guinea pig.

Plus, I had also been looking for the Mystery lift page. Just in case the wheels/tires were a little big.

I still think the cuts are a good idea.
The thread is here - The Marvelous Mystery Lift

If you really want to review the directions for the cuts that need to be made, before I have a chance to edit them they are still available here - Skidz install

Thanks HJ. I made a print out for myself just to have a reference for when it comes time, as I'm in Lousianna again. So my new rims may be sitting at my house right now, and I can't even mount them to check to see if I need to cut.

As before , if anyone needs the templates, send a SASE with US postage to me and I'll send a copy of the templates.

PM me for an address.

Sweet...thanks....Oh and one thing...WHat exactly are the "rockers" you guys are refering to???

Post by **Walt** » Sun Jul 30, 2006 7:48 pm

Look about 2/3's of the way down your door. See where there is a "body line", or horizontal indentation line in the door, running the length of the truck? The portion of the body, below that line, is considered the rocker panel.

HenryJ, Have You Had A Chance To Work On An Update For This Yet?
Just Wondering, I Have The Templates You Sent Me & I Have The Old Install Directions Printed Out. Cooler Weather Is Coming Shortly And I Hear The Sound Of A Sawzall In My Future

The fire season and some disasters at work have put a halt to my personal projects.
I'll review my findings when time permits. Until then you can follow Justin's instructions, or access the write-up that I did and use your best judgement.
