Weighing In: Pros and Cons of Ute Tub Liners

Introduction:

As utes continue to be the workhorses of various industries, owners are increasingly turning to tub liners to shield the trays from the challenges of daily use. While these protective layers offer several advantages, they also come with their own set of considerations. In this article, we'll explore the pros and cons of tub liners for utes, helping you make an informed decision on whether this accessory is the right fit for your workhorse.

Pros of Ute Tub Liners:

Protection Against Wear and Tear:

Pro: Tub liners act as a robust shield, protecting the tray from scratches, dents, and general wear and tear caused by the transportation of heavy loads and equipment.

Enhanced Durability:

Pro: By adding an extra layer to the tray, tub liners significantly improve the overall durability of the ute, ensuring it can withstand the demands of heavy-duty use over an extended period.

Impact Resistance:

Pro: The added thickness provided by tub liners enhances impact resistance, reducing the likelihood of dents and dings when loading or unloading heavy items.

Corrosion Prevention:

Pro: Tub liners create a protective barrier against rust and corrosion, especially in regions with variable weather conditions. This is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of the tray.

Easy Maintenance:

Pro: Cleaning and maintaining a tub liner is typically straightforward. Most liners can be easily washed, ensuring a clean and presentable tray for both practical and aesthetic purposes.

Cons of Ute Tub Liners:

Potential Water Trapping:

Con: In certain designs, water and debris can become trapped between the tub liner and the tray, leading to potential corrosion over time. Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent this issue.

Installation Challenges:

Con: Depending on the type of tub liner chosen, installation can be a complex process. Spray-on liners, for example, often require professional application, while drop-in liners may need precise fitting for optimal results.

Compatibility Issues:

Con: Ensuring the tub liner is compatible with the make and model of your ute is crucial. Different liners are designed to fit specific vehicle dimensions, and choosing the wrong one may result in poor fitment.

Heat Retention:

Con: In some cases, tub liners may retain heat, potentially leading to issues in extremely hot climates. This can affect the cargo or tools stored in the tray.

Cost Considerations:

Con: Quality tub liners, especially spray-on solutions and custom-fitted liners, can be relatively expensive. While they offer long-term protection, the initial investment may be a deterrent for some buyers.

Conclusion:

The decision to invest in a tub liner for your ute involves weighing the pros and cons based on your specific needs and priorities. If durability, impact resistance, and corrosion prevention are top priorities, a tub liner may be a wise investment. However, it's essential to consider potential downsides such as installation challenges, water trapping, and cost. By carefully evaluating these factors, you can make an informed choice that aligns with the demands of your workhorse and enhances its overall longevity and functionality.

Since I’ve been encouraged to actually share my funny little blorbo ideas here’s another one gang;

Danny moves to Gotham on scholarship for engineering, because the Fentons may be infamous but they’re also insanely brilliant and besides both he and Jazz are showing every sign of embarrassed child of a super genius syndrome, so while the bats are keeping a close eye on him Just In Case, duke is also thinking of introducing him to the Our Parents Are Maniacs But Anyway club maybe after the first month or so.

Gotham does not go for standard dorm living bc of his ‘condition’ and lack of wanting to constantly spook/gaslight a roommate. Besides, living with two small children is a dorm sounds like a disaster in action.

So Danny signs up as a mechanic in Crime Alley, buys himself a teeny weensy lil apartment and Makes It Work. He has been all year after showing up with a de aged Dani and Dan in Amnity after all, and that had gone,,, fine? (The entire town, observing how Danny had been getting increasingly more uncomfortable around his godfather prior to the cloning incident, then just dropped off the face of the earth for several months, the first two weeks stuck in Vlad’s basement enduring horrors and the next Too Many desperately fapping around in the Ghost Zone to get everything handled. All the clones live, all 13 of them. Bunch of them are stuck in the Ghost Zone due to constant need for ectoplasm, but eh, plenty of Zone born never leave, so. One, in the future, apprentices under a green warrior lady on Pandora’s suggestion, another is working in the Eternal Library with Ghost Writer, etc etc. so Danny eventually came back to Amnity with one small child under each arm very obviously traumatized by Somethingn with vlad and doesn’t like being alone with him,,, or touched without warning,, and immediately and passionately proclaims the kids his but struggles to explain how or why,, look some very reasonable assumptions are drawn okay. So the town does the very reasonable thing and does the midwestern equivilant of excommunicating Vlad, except it’s a lot more run him out with pitchforks vibes since he’s the Mayor. Anyway)

He is immediately loved, because while non Gothamites are usually more of a pain than they’re worth, everyone in a while someone even from out of town will just fit in so nicely it’s uncanny for everyone involved. Addams family vibes, it’s referred to as ‘making it home’, just personal hc. He is protective of all the kids playing in the parks and street girls that can totally take care of themselves on their corners but find it HILARIOUS when he just tackles a dick like a wild animal full force no warning. He can fix anything it seems, but refuses to work with weapons. Reasonable enough, people get twitchy about gangs sometimes. Danny mentions being not against Hood or anything, but he’s not going to work for him, littles to take care of and all, but had past experience with ‘Dora and that inheritance mess with her brother he was being a real prick about’ so everyone assumes it’s the equivilant of him having Done His Time and being plenty good for a life time and respects it as long as none of that petty midwestern small town hotshots bring any of that shit over here. And they don’t, because said individuals are on the other side of the mortal veil, so happy day.

See I really love deaged!Dan because he’s just a grumpy lil guy. But he’s also killed millions. He’s so protective of his loved ones, but held back by blending in and also being Smol that it comes off more bitey kitten than anything else. Dani, of course, is a terror, so she fits right in with the crowd.

And sorry gang, but a bunch of kids on their own in Gotham in a poor side of the city just isn’t going to get any attention: that’s just business as usual really. What first gets attention on Danny is not his ‘condition’ or being mistaken for a meta (which he legally probs has an argument for even without the gene bc like these bitches don’t know how metaism works anyway so) or alien (I’m 90% sure he’d be covered by the alien protection act by virtue of being half ‘not from earth’), but because Danny despite best efforts is a Weird Guy.

He grew up in what could only be described as a low level villain level and spent most of high school dealing with smack downs and spiritual invasion. He’s never really processed that any of that is not in fact Normal. Also, he’s capable of making Anything if given the insides of a toaster, blender and alarm clock, and could probably rewrite the circuits of the apartment blindfolded and improve them 1000% even if it ABSOLUTELY would not be up to code.

And sure, things slip every once in a while, bits of spectral ice here, small floating incident there, but everyone just Minds Their Buisness ya know? You really gunna mess with the guy that personally ensured that when your car got flattened by a fight with Killer Croc, you were still able to get in to work the next day by some wizardry? Really?

But Gotham is a city so cursed it’s probably in the exponents countwise, so of course there is a) a flourishing community of magic users and assorted supernatural weirdos and b) a whole lot of shit for Mega Overpowered Ghost King Danny to idly pick at day to day in order to help with his protecting other Obsession. Gotham has plenty of heroes, but by god do they need the spiritual equivilant of an electrician/priest.

Still, Danny, as a baby ancient under a facet of Kronos and KING OF THE DEAD is like, way, way out of their scope to be able to grok, so it mostly just comes off as you know, a family of banshees or something. When asked, Danny very haltingly says he was briefly dead but then revived, which neatly explains his Weird Ass aura and makes it SPECTACULARLY AWKWARD to ask further about. So everyone nods politely, and goes back to their lives after double checking no nefarious bullshit was being pulled.

Then, of course, Vlad finally tracks them down. The whole neighborhood is altered in short order because he doesn’t bother trying to hide being a Rich Bitch or how he’s sneering down his nose at people on the sidewalk. Every connects the dots when Danny paniks. Dani and Dan’s daycare are staffed with some extra, very buff set of hands within the hour. Jerry, Hood’s third in command, personally shows up to the garage Danny is working at to talk things out with him bc he knows he does t like the deal with this stuff due to past unspecified circumstances but well, they guys had already started fucking with him, you see. Stole his tires, spray painted the windows, pickpocketed him blind, and when he retreated tipped off the police to the drugs they’d planted in the glove box.

Danny might not have been born in Gotham, but he was one of them. And the Alley takes care of it own.

What is Protective coating?

Concrete sealers are applied to concrete to protect it from surface damage, corrosion, and staining. They either block the pores in the concrete to reduce absorption of water and salts or form an impermeable layer which prevents such materials from passing.

Research from major concrete authorities, including the American Concrete Institute, Portland Cement Association, and the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association confirm that most concrete damage is attributable to surface moisture intrusion.The most pervasive form of concrete damage is surface scaling from freeze/thaw.Other forms of damage include alkali-silica reaction (ASR), chemical intrusion, and corrosion of steel reinforcements.

Sana building solution is best for protective coating.

[eshtaresht]

so, I couldn't quite figure out when vash took off the shoulder piece and found this:

right here, it seems like it's actually connected to the coat. so when it's on, we can only see the real prosthetic below the elbow, everything above that just protects the shoulder from further damage. we've already seen him using it as a shield, but knowing that it's a separate piece makes even more sense. like, vash took it off before, but I assumed it was connected to the arm and not the coat. considering that red piece at the end, the sleeve is probably intact underneath the armor

it also looks like the actual prosthetic arm isn't supposed to be removed from the shoulder, but can be disconnected at the elbow. and it feels much more like an actual limb. I think it's linked to the nervous system in a way that vash can actually sense pain and pressure with it (1. the way he twitched when brad fixed it and 2. it would be harder to remove a bullet without sensory input from the hand)

Selkie YN offering to show Eclipse her pup without her skin but then taking it as a chance to try and get away with her baby would be baaaad idea

Selkie Y/N is uber protective of your seal coat and your baby's, and escaping to keep both of yours safe would be a desperate effort, but Eclipse knows when prey you get skittish, looking for a way out. With your baby in your arms, you don't get far on human legs and your pup is too young to go into the water without significant aid and protection.

It's a bit feeble in his mind, you trying to leave, but that just speaks to how you belong with him.

Eclipse catches you, gently, as you are holding your baby, but Eclipse still makes it clear that he thinks you might need to stay closer. You and your pup. His growl is right in your ear. He'll remind you to be good. Then, not letting you go, he'll swim you and your pup back to familiar waters, where you're going to stay. He'll see to it.
