the life of Raiden (ramportin1's truck)

[ramportin1]

A long time ago i got my bed LINE-X'd as well, forgot about that. HIGHLY recommend them, not only does the liner look amazing but they have fully honored the lifetime warranty with me once already and it was done as happily as you could imagine. 100% cool about it just "bring your truck in whenever is convenient for you and we will fix it, you are in our system so your good to go just bring the truck in." So i did, they asked me to show them the spot ( i had one little tear from sliding the sharp corner of my loading ramp in the bed and one air bubble on the side wall) and all they said is "ok no problem is that it, just those 2 things?" had my truck back in about 4 hours and cant tell anything was ever fixed looks brand new, and i still slide my ramp in the same way lol at least 100 times since the repair and not even a scratch, literally.

Bought a gopro for my races (always wanted one) but tested it out for sound with a cold start video and sounds great off the camera itself! pretty stoked now i can make a decent video so ill work on that. Also found out i need a card reader to upload the videos from the camera to my computer so i have to get one of those still. dang technology, i am to old to keep up

I need a go pro for getting sound clips outside the truck and going to the track

Man, I highly recommend this one I got vs a actual gopro brand. It's a fraction of the cost and is just as good, and actually 4k video footage is better on this one. When I get back to the office I'll see what model it is again and post it. Comes with like a million different mounts and water proof case as well

There is the comparison video for the $280 gopro hero 5 black vs the akaso ek7000 4k that costs $70, both amazon prices. tell me the akaso doesnt beat the 300 dollar gopro man.
anyway, i did literally hours of research to find the best action cam available for under 300 bucks (that was my limit) and this is the result. there are many videos on youtube, and one of a guy thats had his for almost a year now, dropped it a handfull of times and he still says works flawlessly

And the size

And along with the like 15 different mounts it comes with a wrist strap remote for remote control activating record or take picture, 2 batteries and a dual battery charger, water proof case and regular protection case. I'll post a video of it in use soon as my card reader comes but just ordered that today

 

[chrisp2493]

Sounds sweet, and $70 ain’t bad at all, I’ll have to pick one up soon [emoji1303]

This is exactly the reason i got this is for my dirtbike handlebar during races. Constantly trying to be faster and its hard to notice your mistakes in the moment. This way i can go back and rewatch everything and hopefully spot stuff im doing that i can improve on

Reading this thread makes me want a white 4x4. ****, lol. Really nice truck and progress, dude. What is this, 7 years in the making now? It'd suck to take that long on my truck, but with everything I want, and everything it needs, and wanting more than 1 vehicle etc. etc. it'll probably take me just as long.

Oh well. In the mean time, I can get mad inspiration from everyone here. Especially this KLEEEEN af BADAZZ Raiden right here. Good job, man. Can't wait for that updated exhaust vid, as well as updates on the rear facia buildout.

Any reason why you kept the door spears?

I really like them, I think they add more depth to the look of the sides.

i like the door spears when color matched on lifted trucks, adds a bit of tough look to it IMO
