Both the rhino and paint were sprayed. A basic undercoating gun is all you need for the rhino and there are plenty of how to's on E-bay and the net.

Sure come on down...we can go fishing on the white river or on Norfolk lake. I have a couple of boats too.

It's funny you mention the bedroom because I've been joking about putting one in as I'm already going to have an office and bathroom. My wife says go ahead...me and the boys can stay out there and she can have the house to herself. My 4 y/o would love it I think.

looks good man I like it. Is the bottom of the windshield tinted? How do you like that and is it a pain to see out of towards the road and stuff? I've thought about doing that but that it would probably be more of a pain to see towards the ground and whatnot.

The tint on the windshield is on the top and bottom and no, it is not in the way at all. The top arch keeps the sun out of you eyes like the visor and the bottom portion keeps the sun, that reflects off your hood, out of your eyes. If I ever get another truck I will definitely do this again. I do understand some states have laws against this but it's cool here; we don't even have vehicle inspections of ANY kind and you should see some of the bombs chugging down the road.

that's the same way here in indiana (least where i'm at)

no emissions testing, or vehicle inspections

you should see my dads old truck, no brakes whatsoever (you push the petal and it just drops like a rock)...we were hauling a round bale home with it, and to slow down to turn, we pull it into second then into first and sometimes into reverse if we overshoot lolz, which we did once, put it into reverse going just a little fast and stalled out

hell the only inspection is i ever have to deal with is the random DOT officer stopping me in one of the K-Whoppers (DOT roadside inspections suck btw). i remember my uncle got stopped once while he was driving an old International Transstar II cabover, sweet truck, cummins with a straight pipe. anyway the officer was scaling his truck (they carry portables), he wanted him to pull just a little further up onto the scale (about the size of a college ruled notepad), and if you've ever driven a tractor trailer, moving just 6 inches is nearly impossible...on purpose he slipped the clutch pretty hard and launched the scale to the back of the trailer


btw....sick truck man

Why rino line your truck? Do you get a lot of hail? Seems to me that with the super high quality 500mph paint made to stick to aluminum that you wouldn't need to add several hundred lbs of rubber to your truck.
