The words of a wise man....


Love the color

 

olive drab green, man. I love it

 

well actually, some variation of green. Looks alittle bit lighter then odg....maybe italian olive?

 

heres some pictures of the truck i'm picking up friday. 88, 3vze, 4x4, auto , only 129,xxx miles. it runs great! needs to be cleaned up though. This truck pretty much will have all of my other 88's parts on it when i'm done, so it should look like that













should look like this when its done!

 

paid $600 for it, btw. just incase you were wondering.

 

Well I got a gallon from Agri Supply $36 with shipping. They call it olive drab.

Here is a pic pre paint.

 

Interior on that 88 looks good.

 

your flatbed looks better than my dining room floor! nice work!

btw, where in va are you from?

 

Those "Xtra Cab' decals in the side windows, are those stickers or are those actually built into the window?

 

the secret is linseed oil.

A little ways outside C-ville.

 

Here are a few photos of my 90' 4runner. Its on 38" TSL's.
Those zip ties did nothing, just looped through 4 holes in the bumper, my friends think they are hilarious.


Limiting straps kind of kept it from flexing to much.

Forcing the garage door as far up as possible to squeeze it in the garage.

 

you see..... This ^^^^ is what my wife is afraid of me doing to my Runner. She can barely get in it now. Hate to think what it would be like with this.

Nice work!

 

Im actually having a local guy build me some N-Fab style steps for it. To get in the back my friends have to use the rear tire and they are in shape. My girl nor my 5 & 6 year old can get in. I dont rock crawl or anything like that. Pretty much find a mud pit or a trail and play around.

Heres one of our 04 jetta parked behind it. Kind of an optical illusion due to the angle but the rear bumper sits higher than where the side mirror is.

 

Yea, my boys have to jump to get in mine. I don't want it really high because I haul a canoe on top for camping and whitewater. Any higher and I couldn't load it.

Next to my Subie, (daily driver)

 

Is that bed liner around the rear lower portion? I was thinking about bed lining the lower portion of mine all the way around but my buddy asked me if he could repaint my truck and air brush silver ghost skulls along the bottom.

 

Nope, just flat black rattlecan.

 

Did you coat it over with something? Linseed oil is a very high maintenance finish, especially when used outside and it takes weeeeeeks to cure and wont last very long...

 

Don't you worry I build furniture and have a proprietary concoction that works wonders on outdoor furniture.

Oh awesome.

I make a low VOC wood finish for a living. Sooooo many people call us with linseed problems.

 

some shots from exploring some Class 4's up here the other weekend





and i finally caved to the gas demon and sold off my 31's and picked up a set of 235 75 R15's on black steel american racing rims for wicked cheap on craigslist. i gained about 3 extra miles to the gallon, and thats without 5th gear on the highway (5th gear bearing went in my tranny) and with all the Vermont hills. the tires are a bit small for my liking, but ill take 23 mpg highway
