You can probably do it yourself if you don't mind stripping every but of paint down to the metal and spray that girl down. Might take a lil bit of time

if you're having it some by line x don't bother with prep I'm pretty sure they sand blast it either way

Awhile back I got quoted $2000 from line-x for OD green bedliner with the UV protection and everything, so cheaper than a regular paint job. Still can't decide whether I wanna keep Chery red or make it OD green and make it look military, close to what OD89 has, but more of a WWII Willie's look- with the allied star-

I've taken camo pouches and screwed them in the back, doors, and a few other places. Check military surplus stores if you like the army look.

I made some new cheap disconnect's for the front sway bar. I used to have a 3" Lift and was running a set of skyjacker quick disconnect's, but when I added more lift and am now at 6.5" of lift I made longer disconnect's for it. Basically I just got some 1/2" rigid conduit pipe cut to length I needed, welded 2 pieces together and drilled the holes for the pins to go through. And painted to preference.
