Really liking what you've done to it so far. Love the two tone look that you gave it bedlining the wheel wheels, fender flares, and lower door panels. Flows quite nicely. Think I might have to steal that one. Although being a New Jersey native myself (Ocean County here) the locking gas cap is kind of a funny concept. Keep it up.

 

[Tacobender24]

clem - go for it man. i only have the gas cap due to my tattooing in both jersey city and philly and my gas has been siphoned before

BUT just dipped the hoe guys! looks clean now. Im guna put on another coat later due to some streaking but it's only noticeable if you're up against the truck

Going to be making a new video of my hoe tomorrow. Going to be installing my 24" LED light bar and remounting my hella 500's in an unusual spot. stay tuned!!

How did you do your dash? Vinyl wrap?

 

[Tacobender24]

red - yes but I very slightly overlapped each layer to try to make it look as uniform as possible but I have removed it since my I took those photos. I will be making a new video and possibly taking photos once I get my LED light bar installed

 

[Tacobender24]

New pics coming in the next hour! Did something that I dont think anyone, or many, have done. Looking forward to see the reactions of members!
