I like it! I can respect the amount of work that went into that, I've painted 8 or so vehicles rattle-can style and never anything as detailed as that.

Nice, I like it! But how slow is it with those 35x12.50's? Stock gears?

Thumbs up Rad

one word, rad

Your truck is wicked sick. There were some posts about using stickers over the last couple of weeks. That's much nicer than any Maaco job, the sheets have so much depth that it's really amazing. The tires may bring you more problems than rubbing. I'm pretty sure that you'll at least need gears and ram assist steering for your 35's and you'll most likely experience breakage if you're extremely rough on it. From what I've read the stock equipment doesn't like anything larger than a 31 or 33 inch tire. But if you're asking about looks, you've got them with that pickup. I painted my bed past weekend and it was a pain. As soon as I look at having to paint the body, I may choose your route as it is dead sexy in that camo!

The camo is so serious that you could get away with doing something to the wheels and mirrors, but then it would be a strictly hunter look. It's dang nice, Great Job!
