Nice work! Wish I could do that. What kind of a welder do you use?

Gotta admit, I dig the results! It has a burled woodgrain look to me, with a classic feel two tone...nicely done.

Wow...very nicely done. It's hard to believe it's the same rig.

I must say I would have never thought that rig looked like it did before you painted it. I had previously only saw the After picture but never the before. My hats off to you, thats a nice piece of work.

Thanks all. I don't consider myself a bodyman but I really enjoy doing it. Anyone close need some help doing some work? I can spare some time here and there.

That's exactly what I was trying to achieve. Thanks for picking that up, I guess it worked.

They are Bushwacker Cutout flares. They are not made to fit our rigs, but it can be done. There is a detailed how-to on my site.
