Started paint to see what the colors looked like, think ill do the hood today! Word to the wise don't use a paint brush for me I hate streaks and its really hard, for me anyways, to get rid of them while painting. Probably use a roller for the hood. And like others say little runs showed up, but i guess thats normal and will wash away? Hopefully?....Also, 1 internet cookie for who can guess whats wrong with my front tire!

There are tons of people parting these things out they can't be hard to find. Get a bunch of big washers for now put them on under the nuts. You can take off the weight on the other side and weigh it so you can see if you are getting close.

I'd like to thank who ever put these goodies in my truck and also GL for not taking them out. Shown: davit crane chain hoist, 5 reflective triangle markers, 2 bottle neck jacks and 2 impact sockets. Not shown: glad hand and speaker from com. system
Lucky.....I didn't have a **** thing in the goodie boxes. Did have a extra shackle, a couple military pouches and some paperwork indicating my truck was in Kuwait at one time in the early 90's in the cab.

What are your guys thoughts on keeping it green, black tires, then do natural wood for troop seats (for the parade) then after take my time with camo. Thoughts?

Black wheels...easy to paint and easy to touch up, can of Krylon Professional flat black, after projects requiring tire removal. Get some fiberglass troop seats...much easier to maintain2cents
