Nice work! I've seen the bumper sticker "Chicks dig body damage"...so leave the scars. However, the north state will miss the polka dot festival...

So, now with the questions:
  • How much for da winch?
  • What was your painting process? Looks too nice to be rattle-can.


The winch was 399 at harbor frieght

and the paint was just a single stage paint that was shot on with a gun. I sprayed the truck with grey primer before we shot it.

WOW! 8| That is eye-poppin green. Definately won't have any problems finding you in a snow drift! :D Do you have any accents planned?

I really like your rig and all the work you've done. Keep up the great work.

I'll take that as a no.
Just in case, you know, pin striping, decals, GT stripes on the hood and top...

You need some small auto manufacturer symbol stickers to put on the door every time you recover one. Like the fighter pilots do on their planes.

I should have 3 bowties and (sorry) a blue oval on my door.

Not to hijack, but that is a great idea! Just have sticky-back sheets of the different logos made. Sell 'em for $10 a sheet. People who pull out lots of different vehicles will have to buy multiple sheets.

You'll be challenging Bill Gates for world's richest person in no time.

Predator would already be in the hole for $30 or $40 for all the folks he's rescued. :P

Well just a little update. Haven't done an update in a while.

The truck had been broke for about the last 3 months after the last high lakes run. I managed to grenade a front U-Joint while trying to get someone outof morris.

Well last night i finally pulled it apart. Now I just have to Mail it in and get the new one coming. I will try to get a picture tomorrow before I ship it.

Well it's been almost a year since I updated this. Thought I would share that I upgraded to a brand new set of 37in MTR's. What a wonderful ride compared to the boggers.
