Very nice. Did you use a gun or spray bombs. Nice to see that right front tire is replaced!

 

[Floridianson]

Looking good Pete.

Fresh 1100 NDTs on the steers. I've given up my hopes of the XLs and 831s and now will focus on NDTs.

Use my method. Get a 5 ton brake drum, keep drum in yard. When urge to purchase 5 ton arises, move aforementioned drum across yard. Works for me every time.

Everytime I start missing the M816 I take one of the mounted 1100x20 five ton tires and roll it around the yard once (twice if I'm really jonesing). That will kill the urge faster than a nekkid picture of Nancy Pelozi.

Looks like you will have a highly effective way to distribute cookies at the rally.

Aaaahhhh, WM! Your killing me!! Heck she doesn't even have to be "nekkid". Just a regular old picture will do.


I like the black bed with the OD cab. Lookin' sharp

Dang Brother WM!!! You couldda talked all day and never said that last sentence!!! I'm starting to think I look darn good in my tutu....heck...even without it...in comparison

But....I'll stick with the 5tons...as long as I have some strong backs to roll the tires and drums around.

Looks good Pete. What paint did you use for the green?

 

[pctrans]

Thanx Guys. Gonna touch up the inner fender wells today. Used a new paint that a distributor gave me to try out. The "Army Forest Green" is a tad darker than the 383 and a shade lighter than the Rapco 34052 Marine Forest Green. The flat black is a perfect match and seems to hold up well to scuffing.

Kenny, I've got plenty of those 1100's up here, and some 1400-20 XL's already mounted up. Come on over.

As for all you puny old folks (trust me, I feel your pain), there IS a solution to moving those tires around........

 

[Recovry4x4]

I probably will get some of those tires from you Pete. Your area of operation looks like DRMO or a CAN yard.

 

[7mmTCU]

Pete,
What brand paint and type of paint? I like the color.

I will post the exact info on the paint later today. If I remember correctly it is produced by Mobile Paint Company.

 

[pctrans]

OK, here is the paint. And for all you "armchair painters" who CALLED me out on the fender wells..... I took care of that.

 

[7mmTCU]

Thanks for the paint info
Dean
