So its $30 vs $50.. then yoy have to buy a HPLV gun and have a compressor. lol I had 10's of dollars wrapped up in Clyde's paint job. Krylon Ultra Flat Khaki FTW. :D But I do REALLY like the Rustoleum self etching primer.. it will be the color of the Raisin some day.

Yes but I have the compressor and hplv gun

Only fitting that I painted the Chinese manufactured links on Chinese newsprint... and I did mention that I am working in a Chinese owned garage in Chinatown. I guess I may look a bit Chinese when this whole thing is done!!! :D

Another coat of primer and a bit of spot putty and I will call it good. Silly how nice we make some things only to have them messed up by a good trail!!!! lol

Getting closer and closer to scratching all that shiny paint off on rocks. :)

The long poles in the tent are Front Range Off Road (phuckers) and shocks. Right now the plan is to get a known spring - let's say 500 lbs on the bottom only, no spring on top. Then I will continue to put the Pig together and when I finally think I have the weight down (with sand bags or real loads like jack, etc), we will then measure the loaded spring length and determine what springs are needed.

I just noticed what lights those where. Cool idea to protect them like that., when I go flatbed I'll have to remember that.

I also just like this gif. No reason but I think its cool.

I really liked what this guy did too bad I removed 70% of what he did! :D ... I feel as though I defaced art!

After effing around trying to get some real assistance on getting my shocks (long story) - I went with FOA 16" shocks: 150/250 combo with med compression with light med rebound

I also ordered two shock rebuild kits since these aren't as popular as Fox or Kings.

Front Range has been doggin' me so if they can deliver by mid next week, I will still do the full float, otherwise, its chromo stocks for me.

I will be going up to dink around on it today and then I'm off on an ultra-light backpacking trip. Haven't decided if I want a sleeping bag or not! :D

They will look something like this:
