Most people clean their truck (some get them spotless) before they bring them to me. This truck on the other hand.................... Oh well maybe this truck likes slightly textured paint
Looks bloody good mate! 1 question though, will you need to put park lights out wider to reflect the true width of the truck? I came into greif a while ago with the same style deck when VTNZ looked at it. my 2cw.

Well done again Tom, as for the tyre --- I am thinking of my stuffed back and a Davit off the roll cage with a snatch block that the winch rope could go through and wulla bang hey presto and my poor OLD back survives again, gee my brain is exhausted,

Good thing the owner is still a young punk
Anyways all done. Going to have to have a play with the coils as it is coil bound about 2" before full compression But thats not a biggy. Drives better than the leaves allowed.

Cheers Pretty easy to slap em together when you have 5000hrs a week to work on them

Nothing flash. Its from a local company, United Paints. They call it unichem satin black. Ment to chemical resistant blah blah blah. I use it because you can layer it on thick and it drys very quickly. Basically stock car paint tho, wouldn't want to paint a car with it

Haa small world. No idea of any names, I just ph them followed by a ph call to my courier Its not a bad product. Bullet proof after a few days.
Hilux looks a bit nose down at the moment Tom Similar thing planned for the front then
I guess we'll have 2 wait an see...
Yip definitly going to get the treatment in the front too. It is abit nose down, but when those pics were taken it only have 1/4 tank of fuel and no spare wheel

Cheers The eventual plan for this truck is Hilux axles, Commy v6 and auto, single cab chop and a full exo. The reason I tucked it into the guard is to allow for the cage at a later date
