am I crazy?

I guess it's the correlation with being up in the mountains... cuz that's the only place I ever see trucks that color...
if I can't find a nice white, dark blue, black, or silver truck, I might have to do it LOL!
I ain't gonna be caught dead in some maroon or gold retirement mobile!!!

a second gen dodge 1500 2wd, 2 door longbox, it looks ok, but would be nicer if it was an emerald green.. Not quite my taste but itll do till i can save up for a new paint job..

I've never been one to follow the herd...
I cut my teeth hot rodding fairmonts while all my buddies were playing with mustangs...
I'd really like to do a Cummins swap on something, but Dodge did a pretty decent job and when I buy my next truck, I hope to have more money than time...
I like my trucks to look like "work" trucks... steel wheels (or black coated aluminum), black grill, white paint, cab lights, etc. something that looks like a fleet truck... if I can't have contractor white, I might have to go with forest service green

My trucks maroon! I'm not that old! What's wrong with maroon? There's quite a few of us around here with maroon trucks. I will have to agree with you about the gold color. I aint to crazy about it myself. My Bro has a gold truck and I always hack on him about. He tells me that its not gold its tan?

Forrest,
I think that a 4x4 would look great in Forest Service Green. Slap on some black steel wheels with some 35" all terrains, maybe some dark green or black Rhino liner on the lower side of the body for chip damage ... and of course, you have to have the black brush guard / big bumper combo, side steps and a tool box.
I would drive that anywhere .... (glad I wasn't the only person who liked that color).

I figured cammo would just be too redneck... the FSG is a little more understated

I am 23 and way past the point of wanting to paint my truck. Girls like the colr, but I don't. I'm thinking fire engine red, add on some cab lights, and then some Eagle 409 wheels. 33-12.50-16 Maxxis Buckshots, and a leveling kit, and tint the windows.
