Opinion: Change paint or not?
Opinion: Change paint or not?
I've been looking at my truck a lot lately and wishing it didn't have the beige two tone. I got this truck from my dad and I'm not really diggin the beige on white. This would probably get done after I get my lift and wheels/tires. I want to know which option ya'll would choose out of these that I've come up with:
A) Get all of the beige part painted white w/ black or grey FX4 fender flares
B) All of beige painted darkstone grey
C) All of beige painted black
D) Keep it the way it is!

Can you post a picture of the truck in its current state? Might help us decide, also some good photoshop people could probably make you a picture with your different options so you could get an idea of the end result
I would choose "A" without a doubt in my mind. Go all white, then black fenders, blacked out windows and black rims on a lifted truck. Looks SWEET!
P.S. Nice looking truck already (IMO). How are those Mud Grapplers holding up? by far the best looking tire out there. Looking into getting some for my pick-up. What kind of mileage have ya put on em? Also, glad to see you taking it out to get dirty. Isn't that the whole point of a 4x4? Not to just pound the pavement! good for you and good luck with your rig!

I've put about 11,000 miles on the Mud Graps and they're wearing pretty fast. The thin stock wheel is probably contributing to that a lot though. I'm hopefully getting 37" Toyo M/T's when they wear out. And yeah my truck does go offroad...unlike some other guy's trucks around here that are lifted and have offroad tires and never go off the pavement
I'll try to get some new pics up soon. I've taken the chrome step bars off and added a black brush guard.

I'm pretty sure it is than I'd go with all white.

Yeah it's beige and that's what I was thinking too. I really like the look of the all white with black flares.

Oh and by the way Thump- I've never gotten a chance to tell you this before but your truck is the best looking one I have ever seen!!
(Except for that God awful Gator head on the back. GO VOLS!!!)

Thanks for the compliment but who is VOL?

Lariat Man, I see you have the leveling kit with 35" tires. Was there any rubbing issues you dealt with? Any Trimming needed? That set-up looks very very nice. you off-road so i want your opinion. Is it gunna rub at full lock in some off-camber situations? Thanks (sorry to jack your thread from you)

Thump- Yes I agree talk is cheap and yes ya'll will probably beat the crud out of us the way we played against Cal. But I just think back a few years ago when we beat ya'll 34-32 in the "SWAMP" and I feel a little better

Not to mention our last game is against FSU in the Swamp.
Yeah no kidding about people getting offended...I think some people even got killed at a UT UF game down there a few years ago. But anyway...back to the original topic lol.
