Re: Black it out!
 

The only bling on my ride is the Gold Teeth stuck on the tread of my tires after a night of Ghetto 4 wheeling!!!

Re: Black it out!
 

that's a cool looking truck. did you just get it?

Re: Black it out!
 

Phil, they look great.

I'm too lazy / busy to search for other threads on painting....what prep work is necessary to paint wheels, did you do it with tires on, and how does it really hold up?

I've been debating whether to spend the money to get some slightly used takeoffs to get powder coated before I upgrade my tires to 37s. If I just paint my current ones, that'll save me at least $500.

Re: Black it out!
 

it looks really nice, phil.

I couldn't part with the chrome, i enjoy the dichotomy of the truck, and reaction to it, too much. Its too interesting to watch how a perfectly polished chromed H2 generates different reaction than one covered in mud & barely showing its white.

Re: Black it out!
 

I believe you are referring to the disdain being shown when it's a bling machine because it's not being used "as it's supposed to be" ;) ;) :D

Re: Black it out!
 

depends on who's looking.

when shiny, i've never had pickup guys hang out the window to give a thumbs up. when muddy i've never been flipped off, or had somebody whip a U-turn just to cuss at me.

But when muddy & not showing its bling, i've never had carloads of college girls holla out a window or ask us to follow them around.

so whatever, both ways are fun. I enjoy the bad attention as much - although differently - as the good. If you ever do anything really worth doing, somebody is going to dislike it. Just think back to the reaction to the cutest girl you ever dated/married.

shrug. the truck is alot of fun, both in the real world and pondering the wildness of cyberspace, although i do fear i bore you guys sometimes with the latter.

Re: Black it out!
 

but - and this is just a personal preference - i'd rather throw myself directly into the mouth of H2 hysteria than run from it. So i leave the truck muddy to enjoy that for a few days & then polish it to a day-glo sheen.

Bring the madness, i say. :D :D ;)

Re: Black it out!
 

Exactly, getting flipped off for being a POS, envirodestroying blinger is different than not getting flipped off at all

Re: Black it out!
 

sounds like too much work. just don't wash it, I say.:D :D

Re: Black it out!
 

lol!

Re: Black it out!
 

Duplicolor, rustoleum?

Re: Black it out!
 

And tell the dealer not to wash it. Mine has been dirty for a while. It was at the dealer yesterday and came back waaay too clean. Now I'm embarassed to take it out. :D
