I know it's not black but it's my post and I can call it whatever I want, smarty pants!!! Plus it sounded better than "Boulder Grey Monster".

[ctluba]

No more dog poop cracks either or I will give toby your email address and a picture of your cat!!!

PS. The little b-stard is always ****ting in those rocks.

You're right it does sound better... question, is that a GM replacement grill or line-x'd? ... if GM, what do you guys pay for that in the U.S.?... been thinking about one for my own, but no line-x here, and very very few (if any) places that would comprehend me wanting to scrub down and paint the chrome piece black :confused: ... therefore I'd be easier shipping from the US.

Seriously though - looks great... another question, anyone got black door mirrors want to swap for chrome? - I'll do the shipping both ways (staff perk)

Cheers

Just seen the other thread - question answered - thanks anyway!

justforfun,

I ruffed up the grill with one of those scuff pads and sprayed it with dupli-color bed liner (6 or $8.00 per can). I figure if it self destructs I will have it professionaly re-done. Anyway, it came out great, we will see if it holds up.

Nice !

[3Hummer]

lookes good i love how the cneter caps are a different shade of black than the rest of the rims.

[TXSUT]

Nice progress, but just like that other recently blacked out H3 here, it still looks "dainty" with those street tires. Any plans for some more aggressive meats?

[ctluba]

TXSUT,

I have no plans to go with a more aggressive tread. I dont do any heavy off roading and the tread on these tires will get the job done for me and still keep the road performance. Deep down inside I would love to put big mudders on it but that is not realistic for how I use the truck. Oh yeah, also my wife wont let me!!!!!:crying:

Well, when those are shot, maybe at least some BFG ATs...and at least one size bigger. ;)

Oh, I'm sorry, that must be her cruiser in the driveway!

:jump:

JK...my first wife was that way, this second one is a human being, way cool! Looks as if you'll just have to follow suit and get
the tires when those wear out. Which makes sense economically. Now that I think about it you might as well run the tread off the stock tires and then spend the cabbage on the ones you want...you know...the 315/75/16's!

It'll look more like a monster that way!
