Thanks hoss. I think its going to look better once I get the spare and jack mounted.

Im debating if bushwacker flats are going to help pull the black together or if I should bedline the lower rocker panel.

You know I bought this thing for a few reasons but a key one was so I could haul the mtn bikes to the trails and I just got around to ordering my tower mounts. Oops guess I got sidetracked...


Domaas, you're prolly right about both. I'm going to play around with the paint and see what is going to look best but I think we nailed it.

I would do gloss black armor on the bottom of the doors, I think it would flow beautifully, but that's just my thoughts ha ha

Yep I think you're on to something. At first glance it does need something to pull the contrast together.

agreed rocker panels on the doors need to be black also

where you go mountain biking? Need to get back into it more like I was in High School and dig my bike out of the shed...

Lots of options around. For quick trips I typically hit lorton but when I riding more frequently shafer farm is a good spot. Check out more-mtb.org. great local group.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Have a few small things to sort out but a little wheeling is definitely in order.

I picked up the truck yesterday and ran it through the car wash. I'll be posting some pics over the next few days documenting the upgrades we accomplished.

Here are a couple shots from today.
