IMO - even tho there is still tire sticking out from under those flares they will still keep the whole side of jeep having mud thrown all over it, it should keep most of the mud coming off the tires approx. 4" (or however wide they are) away from the body . I say sweet idea, and a sweet look.
Thanks Garret, that was part of my reasoning for building them.
Your shit is looking good man.....Proud of ya.
Hurry up and finish that thing for SMORR Froze over and the big meat run.
I like the color as well.....i have seen something similar to it on a rig somewhere
O and i deduct 2 point for the round head lights LMAO
Thank ya Brandon... I won't have it done by SMORR Froze Over but should be out there anyway with the Cherokee, I'm gonna shoot for the Big Meat Run in March with the CJ.
That 2pt round headlight deduction should be a bonus instead!
Good Job Man! I have been "lurking" on this one, but had to send you props for the work and color choice!
Are you a trained paint man or do you attribute the nice finish to the paint equipment? I have been kind of scared to paint my J10 Stepside as I have never painted before, but some say it's a breeze as long as you keep it clean... your opinion?
Do well,
Jesse
Thanks Jesse, I am by no means a trained paint man in the sense you're talking about, but I will say I've screwed up a few times and learned from that. haha. Everything I've needed to know I've learned by talking to people who have done it, like Crazy Larry, I've learned a lot from him. It's really not that difficult to paint, it's the prep that takes so much time and determines what the final outcome will be like; and if you don't do it right and take certain precautions then it'll turn out like crap. You definitely have to have the surface clean before you start spraying. I don't have any expensive painting equipment. I have a $350 Craftsman compressor and a $60 HVLP paint and detail gun from Harbor Freight. This equipment wouldn't work well at all for painting a huge surface like a tractor trailer, but for my little Jeep panels and hood, it's more than enough to get the job done... and the most important thing I have learned about painting is that you can't rush it... Let it dry and then let it dry again... haha. before you go getting all happy about it or else you'll screw it up. As far as the flames go, I learned how to do that from Jason Harris who painted my Rubicon. This is the first time I have ever painted a vehicle in this manner (spray bombed many), so I'm going to hope for the best and if it don't turn out the way I want it to, then I'll sand it down and try again until I get it how I want it. I think I'll be fine and it's going to turn out sweet the first time.
