this is the Duplicolor "Bumper Coating" supposed to be rubberized to flex and not crack. we will see how it stands up this winter, if it holds up will definitely paint more, if not, then Line-X here i come.


mudflaps and side steps coming off soon.
planning on blacking out the lower plate, the emblems (if i can get them off without breaking them), possibly the whole bumper cover / back bumper sides / front fender plastics.

wheels and tires

then maybe lift and lights.

wayyy down the road possibly Shrockworks bumpers.






Did my LOBO rack the other week too. havent taken pics yet. will post them soon.




P.S. not my garage, my buddys house. lucky bastard and his lift.

Duplicolor is holding up PERFECT! surpassed all my expectations.

i did use the adhesion promoter as a primer, and it has seen lots of snow, ice, freezing rain, 0 degree temps, freeway driving, sanded roads, and high pressure car washes without so much as a chip. I am thoroughly impressed.



in other news someone decided they wanted my sub more than me, and all that stood in their way was my back window......... fuck thieves.

Haven't done too much but here it is!

Rack, standard closet rack, had to trim a bit to fit.

Used s-biners in the back with rubber insulated clamps. and double d hooks in the front.

Just did new shoes. so i went and did the proper thing.... and got stuck in some nasty clay. thankfully a nice neighbor and his kubota helped me out. my buddy is still stuck, the tractor couldnt get him.

Wheels are MB 72s in Matte Black 17"x8.5" -6mm offset.
Tires are General A/T-2s 265/65/17

lower offset + no lift = does not compute

had to trim alot of plastic.... and still need to get out the grinder so i can go to full lock. cause right now i cant. :(

the Duplicolor Bumper paint on my grill is holding up supremely well. only a few very small dings after two winters with alot of ice and road sand.
