Truck is looking great man. Wheels are sick, way to be different.

 

[FrontierNation3]

Nice! How did you paint the front grill?

 

[mtaylor]

I took it off, sanded it, primed it and sprayed it with a body color can I got mixed.

 

[Kidz-r-Gone]

Where did you get the paint can mixed at?

 

[mtaylor]

A local auto body supply shop named Carlsen Auto Body. I got a little thing of touch up paint at the same time.

 

[bonediggitty]

Nice wheels and grill!

I like the way our trucks look with body matched grills. Those wheels look awesome!

Do you have a one-piece painted bumper in mind in your near future?

(Perhaps one from a 2012 SV in Night Armor? Mine is so new it does not have any bug/rock scratches in it...) :laugh:

EDIT: HA! Just posted and then quickly saw that you were in Canada! Wonder what shipping would be...?

 

[mtaylor]

Gone for a swim:
I'm gonna have to buy a snorkel.

 

[humz]

I have a full stock skid set if you want, although I think the Gas tank may be different because of the CC vs SC.

 

[mtaylor]

We talked on Saturday, I might talk to you next time I'm coming through Calgary.

 

[mtaylor]

CB installed

 

[JayZ0rbot]

so awesome. love this truck g

 

[beedee]

Nice man. I noticed a bike rack looking piece in your bed on your first post, any more pix of that?

 

[mtaylor]

Yeah, I made a bike rack out of wood about 3 days after getting the truck. I'll scrounge up a picture if it. I guess it won't fit that well anymore, there is a hi lift in the way now.

Edit-Found it, this is before paint, and steel braces on the arms. Also before my rhino liner. Posting pictures from your phone fully sucks.

 

[mtaylor]

OBA done, with the outlet in the bumper (hidden in a trailer wiring plug)

I am currently bored, hence the hat.

 

[mtaylor]

Well, after 2 pretty well solid weekends I have a very different truck. Bumper, winch, light, switches, snorkel, radios, gps, bully dog. That was (mostly) fun.

 

[Bill_c]

Your truck is looking great, and I Just love that picture taken early-on of you making waves. I have a suggestion for an accessory for when you are in the mood for another deep-water run.


And, if you ever add pin-stripes you might include a caption or inscription identifying it as the high-water mark. ::smile::

 

[mtaylor]

High water mark. I love it.

 

[Freez007]

That Front Bumper, Though !!

 

[bhowdy]

Great looking truck .... really like the front bumper
