does the bed fully tilt with that bumper? that looks good back there. do you have a link to the website?

Here’s a pic of it in progress. Got a ways to go still.
C
I started off with a Bed liner spray, and using brownells allumahide epoxy coating for finish. I’m going to do roll cage, bumper, and top still.
That looks cool, but red is still the fastest color.
I truly hate to give you redskins any more ammo than you already think you have, but you speak'um truth, but only in a manner of speaking:
"Because the colors of light travel at different speeds, they get bent by different amounts and come out all spread out instead of mixed up. Violet travels the slowest so it is on the bottom and red travels the fastest so is on the top."
Now before ya'll get all red-faced excited and start prancing around the campfire with your war paint on, I'll just point out that just 'cause the "skin" of your sxs is red, all the other colors that are firmly attached to the red parts is going to slow you down and negate any red advantage. Those slower colors, that your red butt is firmly attached to, is going to make the whole shebang only as fast as its slowest component color. Or, scientifically speaking, "So there!".
I still like blue the best but then again I'm really not very Tacticle about it... lol
Well, blue is nearly the slowest color, so a splash or red on there somewhere could only help - maybe. When choosing red, strongly recommend staying away from blood red.
That's fine by me that the blue is nearly the slowest color.. that's kind of my sightseeing traveling style. I would have been very happy with any color actually, I had to take whatever color the dealer had coming. I'm happy!

Looking good,
Damn it man, are you going full blown camo like the TB?
TB 43-0209, COLOR, MARKING, AND CAMOUFLAGE PAINTING OF MILITARY VEHICLES
.
Back in the day I painted many a CUCCV Blazer and pickup.
Taping it all out according to the book was a pain.
But they sure looked good when done. Never did any HMMWV's.
They handed me a can of CARC paint to use and I told em to suck my left nut.
That s***, you need full SCBA to paint safely.
.
Have a good day

But you want see mine! Haha, I also got IR driving lights and dual NVGs for some real night fun. Not sure why it’s so much more exciting driving at night.

Think @Kilo427 did that to Water Buffalo years ago, looked good and held up!
Looks good! I give you props man, I don't have the guts to do that to mine. I'm curious, how did you prep the surface before bedliner/painting?
C
Scuff it up and clean it. I know it can be a pain sometimes with plastics. I have high hopes the brownells allumahide works better. I did a gun in it and it has way out performed my other gun in regular krylon and I use mine a lot and they get handled rough at times.
I've read that the brownells paint is great for gun parts. I bought some to build an AR but I haven't tried it yet. Yours looks really good. 👍
I was curious if you used an adhesive promoter or not. I've used it on automotive interior and it seems to do a good job, I was wondering how it would work and react with the pioneer plastic bodies.
C
I would have used an adhesive promoter but couldn’t find any here. Guess covid is the answer every time something is out of stock. The brownells paint does take much longer to cure. It’s safe to touch in just a short time. But it’s not really cured for I think 7 days. But after a good day you can just feel it’s stronger. I hope it last a while. But good thing is.... just spray some more for touch up! Lol if I could afford it I would cerakot the panels. Maybe one day. I really want a brick city fab spare tire carrier V1 in tan, Moses said he can but hasn’t responded to emails or the follow up on the phone with invoice so I dunno. Said it’s $50 extra, but only been a couple days, if I can it and mount my tools on the inside like the other guys have it would be sick. I still got a lot to do still but hope to get it done and head out to hills and hollers next weekend.
Yea, it's amazing how covid always seems to be the answer to everything nowadays.
Too bad you can't stick the whole machine in the oven for a bit like the gun parts huh.🤣
I've only talked to brick City once about the harness bar and I ordered one yesterday, but no other personal experience with them. I think it was remington who said he has had a couple of those tire carriers, first one broke, they begrudgingly replaced it, then the second one broke and he fixed it himself. Others seem to be happy with them though.

That sucks! Well I haven’t seen any other one with those features yet of opening from both sides, and quick removal. I like how I can do a spare and a can, but I dunno then, maybe modify another one? Anyone else got input also?Yea, it's amazing how covid always seems to be the answer to everything nowadays.

Others are way more versed in this than I am, but I'm sure someone will chime in.

Big question here, has anyone have the know how to put your break lights and all other lights on a blackout switch? Or is just putting the break lights on a switch easier? Or anyone got a good suggestion on how to do blackout without using duck tape on the tail lights? Haha
