slowly breaking her in

Never done much mudding before nor been out much. Always been too busy with school and work. With the lift and what not now though I figure its a perfect time to go out with coworkers. Heres some pics of her so far.

Thanks man!

Yesterday took the pics of it out in sweet home (pics where its in a little bit of a water hole etc) and had my truck full of chevvy lovers.. We also brought a ranger out there and an older done up chevy. Origionally everyone in my truck was like "good thing we have a chevy to save us"

My response was... mhmm

By the end of the day, the chevy broke off 3 lugs and didn't go through more than one mud hole.

Now if only we had more fords with us to make it look even that much better!

Around here, a lot of fords are just road princesses. Yota's are what you see everywhere.. After that probably chevys, then jeeps, and ford is somewhere down the road..

Also a FYI, my pics aren't done from a special camera. Just a little 200-300$ cannon. I just edit everything to clear the pic up a little and try to make the main image of the pic pop out just a tad more

I only have the time because school hasn't started. Can't wait for the snow and boarding

I just use a program called photoscape. I always resize to 700 and from there take the backlight to atleast 100%. Follow that by auto contrast and auto level at middle and follow it by sharpening by 3-6 depending on what type of picture. film effect with vivia middle normally but you can play around with the others. It is a sweet program. I will give you some pictures to get an idea Just google it too and you can have fun in minutes with it. Makes the truck always look more superb. I guess I am letting people in my post in on the secret.


On this photo, this is stock I guess you can say



Now:
backlight 100%
auto level middle
auto contrast middle
sharpen 3
filter-vignetting 3
filter-vignetting 3 (did it twice to darken it)
film effect-velvia-middle



Now the same thing but in sepia but minus the vignetting


Now in grayscale


now with a lens flare on the lightning head
