Thanks guys, tint is coming soon along with herciulined rockers and bed... Nope nothing has been repainted I wash and wax it monthly and try to wash it weekly. Yet i still take it off road all the time, just gotta keep up on wash jobs and paint usually lasts.

 

Not where I go off-roading at..... too much scrub brush, that is taller than I am.... makes really rude noises when going thru it.... kinda like fingernails on the chalkboard. My paint isn't worth waxing..... of course, the powerline support cable coming for a visit, and leaving a nice scar across the hood, and drivers door, didn't help anything either.

 

Oh i go through trees all the time its thick up here... I just take it really slow and buff out my paint right away. I have a few scratches but other than that and a few chips its mint.

 

You are far more dedicated than I am....

Of course, my truck has some rather nasty rust as well.... something else I need to address before winter sets in, if I can afford to.... such fun.

 

you need to paint your grey/silver rocker panels black.. it will match the rest of your truck! Killer looking truck

 

I will be rolling black bed liner on it this summer =) Also removing all chrome... Anyone here think its worht entering my truck in 4wheel and off road mag? kinda hoping i can get it in....

 

Of Course it is. Having your trucks picture in print? Priceless. Almost akin to having your kid's picture in the paper for the school honor roll.

 

Looks good man. Meaty bumper, im sure people get outta the way now.

 

am i missing anything? and any other ideas for my pic? I also like the first one... either that or i can run behind the house tmrw and get an action shot maybe.
