The badge looks way out of place there in the front

I don't like the flat paint... not that I ever liked the forest service green (or olive) gloss or flat.... and where did the 4x4 stencil come from? Comes accross to me as a paint job done on the cheap. At least from what I can see.

Additionally, there seems to be funny creases in the drivers door and passenger side rocker panel... makes you wonder what else might be hidden.

rims would look better in flat black, no bling as well, but sharp stance.

I like the look. It's a little pricey but I'd drive it in a heartbeat.

i do agree with the "trying to hide body work". and the money is way high for me just thought i would bring in another idea that someone can use.

I like it, but olive drab is for beaters, not something you try and sell for top dollar.

I like the new location of the badge; I think it looks more appropriate there, than in the generic stock location.


What I always thought looked sort of silly is to label a 4WD truck with 4X4 on it somewhere; the way I see it, if they can't tell at a glance that a truck is 4WD, then it ain't much of a 4WD; the post-80-model Chevys, for example = they have to be labeled to tell the difference; that truck don't.
