Nope, not military, that's just an F-150/F-250 (and I notice the crappy masking job they did for the rear tail-light) - and if your friend is pulling your leg, but wants to stick to his/her guns, offer to (*cough* test) "help get the dirt out of the grain of the CARC" by using acetone or D2 - acetone will eat what I'm presuming is Plasti-Dip on that truck, and will start eating through the factory clear coat and paint color. D2 will take it straight down to metal. So really no, don't "help".

I do not think it's an Army. I think that is covered with foil.

But that's not paint, right? not bad !!

 

[latvius]

Yes it is paint, previous owner had a stencil he used. I asked him if it was a PITA to do and he emphatically said yes.

If you otherwise has no problems and nothing else to do, you can do this before, lol. you have but just the price of the car paid, and not for the work of art?

Could you please post a close up pic of the pattern?

Thanks

It's modeled after the Marine MARPAT woodland camo. The colors are off bit though.

Could you please post a close up pic of the pattern?

Thanks

This is unbelieveable!

If you like that you'll love the seat cover.

Suitable for painting, nice.

That must've been such a pain to paint! Hours and hours and hours of stencil work! But it's a good example of why the pattern should be larger on a vehicle than on the service utilities. The small pattern doesn't really break up the lines of the vehicle like a larger pattern would.

There was this guy I knew before he passed and he a had a philosophy about camouflage.
He said that, "a pattern is something that the eyes and mind can pick up on. But if your camouflage is just random earthy tones, and smudges with no two spots the same, the object becomes invisible".

Basically that anyway.

That's pretty accurate. That's why the best performing camouflage only works in the exact area it was based off of. It's why snipers adapt their camouflage with the natural items in the exact spot they will be in. That would be a lot of work to do with a vehicle. Unless of course the camouflage is mud spray.

Just won this one at auction last week. Now just waiting for EUC to clear. M1031 Contact truck w/12kw gen, air compressor and tools. And only 6845 miles with a confused camo job.

I've been lifting my 1009 with an ORD 4'' kit and taking care of some other items... New Tuff Country springs on the front, new steering stabilizer, new ORD brake lines, steering box brace kit, drop pitman arm, a shackle flip on the rear, new spring bushings, new shocks, and a new fuel sending unit since I had the tank down. That picture of the truck is of the halfway point when I had the front done and I was turning it around to work on the rear.

 

[burgertime]

Never really post on here but I figured I would show off my m1009 that I purchased from a lurker here a few months ago. It's a been a daily driver and runs like a champ. Was having some shifting issues but noticed that there was one hose that hadn't been replaced (was very difficult to see) leading to the transmission pump. That fixed that problem.
