Nah, we painted the mirrors black.

The dimples = fender flares. We have to put them back on.

on a rock.  ;D   BUT it looks good in the garage...wish I had a garage ... :'(

I like the go to it effort....think it...tape it up...spray it on...look what I did  ;D ;D ;D 8)

Camo is a funny thing, Real Tree © looks good, but
it doesn't work at a distance, but the job you did is
the way Camo is supposed to be, you will look like
a bush from a distance   ;D

Good Job

Your commited now, no going back.  Although I like my olive drab  tracker sometimes I wish I had a nicer paint job.  With the rattlecan paint job there is no going back to a professional looking paint job.  The surface of my Tracker feels like a fine grade sand paper, not like a smooth factory paint job.

Actually it's a standard garage size..

I completely bend the rubber gasket on the top of the garage opening coming in and out, and I have to deflate the tires to about 15.

The neighbors get a kick out of it.

Man, I've got this giant bush that appeared next to my house, right in the middle of the driveway. I can't figure out what kind it is, does anybody know what type of bush has a white and black trunk with Goodyear written on the side?

Take it to the next Greenpeace rally and see if they can identify the rare vegitation. Even better, see if you can get them to hug it :o

So what's your secret? :-\ I thought used car tires are bad for the enviroment, but you have a huge bush growing out of 4-Goodyears :o. I still want to know why you got rid of the 4-door. Come on, fess up, you'll are gonna do a SAS GV and you planted that bush to keep the spy cameras form getting photo's of the work in progress ;D
