ok well no pics of the herculiner (on the rocker panels) yet but those will be up tomorrow. for now, heres one shot of my new paint. Deep forest green/olive drab.



more to come...

 

i like it, did you do it yourself, tell us more

 

my girlfriend and i did all the prep work and painted it with rustoleum spray paint.

 

Wow that looks pretty sweet. Definitely more details on it.

 

were the tires supposed to come out green too or is it just a wierd picture.

 

Dude, looks tough and sweet!? Pretty cool GF to help out.

 

ha no the tires are just dirty.

all it is is two coats of that rustoleum paint with washing it inbetween coats. id highly recommend this paint but a fan spray nozzle would have been very nice to have.

 

heres a before picture, we had to fix all the rust w/ a little bit of fiberglass and body filler, and i got one new front fender.

 

dude, that looks killer!

 

That's pretty sweet... sheesh man, I haven't seen you post in a while!

 

yeah been busy with school and work. ill post a picture of the herculiner today, it came out real nice. also guna put some trd decals on there kinda like 4hummer has

 

pics as promised...





are there any other first gens that have herculined rockers?

 

I think I'm hearing the M*A*S*H theme in the background...

Looks awesome!

 

Wow that is a great job you and your gf did!! What are your next plans for the truck?

 

The green was awesome, but doing the black herc at the bottom really adds to the green...it looks freakin' sweet and you got to spend good quality time with your girl....priceless

 

50 cal gun and mount on the roof with a hatch.

looks good i was going to do that same layout on a j-10 heep i used to have

 

You are going to hate to hear this.

Did you sand through any of the original paint under where the OD is? That flat paint is porous and anywhere there was bare steel under may start rusting. I used that stuff on my last truck and was running into that problem and I'm not in the rust belt.

 

Holy crap! That looks almost identical to my 85!!
Although yours is in much better shape.
Here's the 1st night I had mine. Boy alot has changed on mine since then...


I sure hope your hurculiner doesn't turn dull like this one's did.
That would suck after all the hard work you put into it.

I Speedlined the rockers & cargo area of my 89 & it looks awesome. So I'm thinking about doing the entire outside * inside of the 85 next year. but we'll see.

click on the link in my sig to see more of my 85. I really need to update those albums cause it's got the chevy rears & rears up front, & marlin hi-steer & 33" MT's now...

sorry to sorta hi-jack....you've got a sweet rig!
Let me know if you ever plan to go to the Badlands here in Indiana, we're always looking for reasons to head over there!!
Cheers!

 

almost forgot, mine has the same roof rack bracket on the removable top, but no cross bar thingy...any idea on what manuf. that is? & if they make other pcs/ parts? Would be cool to have one of those racks up there!
Thanks!

 

Any Leer dealer and most camper shell places sell the bracket. It just give you a place to put a standard gutter mount roof rack. The gutter on the fiberglass top will not suport much but the gutters on the cab are resonably sturdy.
