otherwise you'll have to hear my criticisms about:
1) why didn't you bring the rear of the doors up to the jamb properly?
2) my oh my... I didn't realize you wore... wait... that's not you... unless... nah...
3) skoal cans make good weather caps?
4) electrical conduit does not a good bumper make
5) what is the point of a snorkel when water... cone... filter... drip?
6) who needs a hi-lift jack when the kids are as big as the tires?

I'm gonna be totally blunt in my reply, I think it looks like garbage.

Sorry dude, its just my opinion and I'm glad you're happy with it. I think flat black would look a lot better and since its not reflective, it will be more forgiving as it wont make the imperfections on your truck stand out so much. If I were to rattle can a car or truck it would have to be a flat color. I'm not feeling the kawasaki green accents much either but again, its just my opinion. Take it for what its worth.

yeah it was going to rain to i just sparyied her up i still have some sanding and a lil bit more to do and thats only one coat of paint at that to so after a lil sanding and then im going with about 2-3 coats of paint that way its nice and smooth

and the GRABBER GREEN (autozones engine paint) its there just cause the engine is that color and so is the roll bar and the insides but it all matches i like it and when you see it soon im sure you might like it to


p.s. ill be in milwaukee on the weekend of the 28th and 29th

pp.ss. go brew crew!

Sweet dude, I'll be working at Bootleggers on old world third street. Might have the night off though, who knows...

I myself, am speechless.





I mean, why mess with perfection

just a 22re

hey dioward you really wanna know why i painted it and its not cause i was bored even though it playied a big roll in it but here you go.........

When i got it it was the silver that you see but under that theres

-1 silver paint
-2 silver paint
-3 primer
-4 glue (i think they covered the whole truck in a decal
-5 red paint
-6 red paint
-7 more primer
-8 a lil more primer
-9 the stock toyota dark gray paint not even sanded!!!!!
-10 i didnt drop it passed that but in a few spots it did
-10 stock dark gray
-11 stock primer
-12 stock undercoating
-13 bare metal!


thats why i did it when i hit the fender it cracked off and thats what i saw so i just had the wire (as you can se in the picture) use a razor blade to scrape off the layers and layers of paint then i sanded a few things and painted do to the rain coming just to get it done!

and yes my pint that we took off was about 1/8 to almost a 1/4 inch think!!!

thook

My favorite part is that you and the fam' had fun doing it...

Allan, usted tiene un buen corazón, amigo.
