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.

PS: Go Brew Crew!

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!!!
