Hey Mike,

If nothing less, maybe I can get you to laff.

2nd Suggestion - Add orange tiger strips .  Then everytime you hop and bounce of the rocks, you can start singing, "The wonderful things about Tiggers, are Tiggers are a wonderful things..."  You know the rest.  :P If nothing else, Eric and reach inside your cab, grab your elongated folicle extrustions, and exclaim, "Hey, I caught a tiger by the tail!" ::)


Junk food for thought.


Oh man! That's a good one. ROTFLOL. :D

There is this brand new Jeep on post (FT.Story) that the owner had painted with rhino liner (The whole body). I don't know if the dealer did it.  It looks bad a$$! I'll try to post a pic of it if he'll let me photograph it.

I'm bummed I'm not the first to suggest it, but I have to second it:
ZEBRA STRIPES! You're half-way there! ;) Zebra stripes are way cooler than any other camo variant.

I have a white traker.
It had some paint peeling from poorly done repair .
Being on the coast I Know It must be coverd or rust WILL take over!
I am plenty picky about body and paint work and Old/wise enough to chose my battles ....This is after all a 4X4 and I Will use it off road, so a super nice paint job would just make me nuts! I decided I need to do something practical yet unique
I have some Viny grachic film cut in various odd shapes and applied to the bad spots and all over the rest of the rig  now it looks like a gatway computer box ... Hence the name Cowtracker.
I know it's difrent, but what the heck It's fun :) I get lots of looks and coments, One guy from work even gave me a Moo Horn to put on it.
The best part is it cost me about $100 and I paid to have it done.
if I ever mess it up it will be cheap and easy to fix.
FWIW
You could go the other way and apply white to black.

Just stay away from the 'I'm high on Krylon'-type paint job.

Like this one.

does it have to be a different color?  Maybe it just needs a splash of color to jazz it up.
maybe something like this....









Mt favorite of all my suzukis, my 1994 Tracker, not a true Zuke, but good enough.  it was a sharp ride till some girls stopped in the fast lane of the freeway with a flat tire and i spun out of control trying to avoid hitting them and hit a wall at 75 mph.  i was lucky to be alive, my poor kick however.....different story.  feel free to use the design if you like. it's neon green to electric blue to fushia.

Yes he does, The first time I spotted him on the trail he blew by me on some sandy wash boards at about 40 (I was doing about 15-20 through them and thought it was fast :P) He later told me that if you hit them over 35 they smooth out :-/
