Robert came down to Tucson this weekend to help with a project. We started Friday afternoon, and finished it up on Saturday.

We started wet sanding Friday afternoon, and by 9pm, we had the entire truck prepped, and the bed painted

Saturday AM, we woke up early, and went to the new 4 Wheel Parts store, and scored new towstraps. Got home around 10, and hit the ground running. Yasha came over, and helped mask and paint as well.

The truck was "done" by late Saturday evening. I still need to finish the bumpers, and paint the door trim.

All in all, it was a good project, and alot of fun. I got a LOT of weird looks from my yuppie neighbors, and one neighbor (who is black) said if I start wearing white sheets, he's gonna get nervous.

Here's a pic from the back:


and one from the side:


The rest can be found on Robert's page, ***HERE***

I am gonna try to take some pics of the truck in the desert maybe today or tomorrow. Peace out.

All I see are tires and a bumper.

He forgot to mention I was the one who cleaned out 5 store to get him 15 more cans of khaki.

Yes, thank you Robert...

What am I looking at here? I see headlights and some tires.

Wow a little message on IM can make him change a post quickly.

What can I say, Robert... you are raggin, and I hurt your feelings...

Enough of the post jacking.

I like the paint job... I think I did a pretty good job.

With Robert there, you're lucky something major on your truck isn't orange.

Pretty darn good looking camo treatment, I have to say.

As for you wearing a sheet....that sucker better be from a california king, else your ass is gonna hang out, and that's just not right.

Since Greg did a good job on the camo here it a picture you can see his truck in.

that's beter, I really miss theorange.

greg, you "masked" w/ some ? palm fronds/ other plant/tree leaves while filling in the khaki?

Is the driveway khaki, as well?

Yeah, I have some sort of stupid "grass plant" thingie in my yard. I pulled off a bunch of blades/branches from it, and spread em out. Taped the bottom of em together to make a "handle," and sprayed a bit of color over the top...

No, the driveway is not khaki too

Looks good. Screen saver time.

Here is a higher res one that Robert cropped out when I was turning around on my street....

I am gonna try to go out tomorrow to get some good pics of the truck after work.

They haven't finished the bumpers and sliders yet. That's Robert's specialty.

Do they make white circus tents? I dunno if a Cali king is gonna wrap that ass...

Seriously though, your truck looks damn good bobbed.
Now you just need to wet-sand that guidecoat and paint it.
