Am I Nuts For Trying This?

[Hawg]

It's time for siding and finishing the outside of "The Beast", my new 8 x 16 house that will soon weigh as much as a Greyhound bus and cost the same as my house. I called the steel store the other day and found out 1/8 alluminum diamond plate just for the the small area around by tires and winches is $414.50! I built the boxes with 1/2 inch plywood and I have a diamond plate fender on my tires. My question is this- How do you guys think just putting bedliner on the plywood would work? Do they really take much abuse when a fender is involved? It seems the stuff is indestructable in a pick up bed. Am I nuts?

Go with .063 diamond plate for about 1/4 the price.

is that alluminum or steel? Does alluminum comes in 1/16th?

Yup, I just looked it up, man thats thin.

Maybe a real spray on bedliner (hot sprayed) would work but the do it yourself stuff is a joke I almost want to laugh when I see that stuff in a new truck

99% of houses have .063 diamond plate. Every manufacturer I know of is using it.
