I have a set of lifters I am going to put on my SJ. I am using DAP gel instead of the adhesive that comes on them. I was planning on sanding th turf with 60g and applying the DAP. Good idea? Or should I just clean the turf and apply?

Thanks

Don't bother sanding. Just stick it on with the crappy self adhesive stuff lightly. Mask around it then take it off. Put the dap on both sides. Then screw each one down with a 2.5" screw with a washer on the end so it won't dig through. Bullet Proof. I was just ripping mine up though and I think I coulda done without the screws. The turf came off the side of the tray before the lifter came off.

actually, before you install, mask off with white masking tape, place lifters where you want them, trace the lifters, then cut out the turf where the lifters are going, glue directly to the ski, not to the turf it self. Did this on my SXR a few years back. Makes them stay on much better, the turf around them keeps them from sliding and pealing off.

I guess that is a no. As others said it is Lake Norman. It is only a hour south of me. Only about 10 hours from your driveway if I remember correctly. Pack up and come over, I'll let you ride the SJ.

crammit442 raises a good question. I only have off white tape.
