If you lived in the southwest, or have plans on living there in the near future, I would be all about the bottom pic. As it stands, for where you live, my vote is for the top pic. My personal opinion here, so no one get your panties in a bunch, but camo is played out - most of the time, I see a camo truck and I look for the tattered hill billy rebel flag flying behind the cab

I am definitely not gonna standard black/brown/green camo it. Like ones typicality on a CUCV.

Urban camo seems kinda cool to me. A blended type over the standard pattern seems better to me as well. But not sure how hard its gonna be. Got to get some paint to try it and find something to paint. lol. Maybe one of my ammo cans but that might be too small to tell. A 4 X 8 piece of plywood that is primed might work, well.

Worst comes to worst you sand a bit, reprime, and try again.

Better yet, paint it green, paint a Rebel Alliance insignia on the top, paint the words "General Yoda" on it and the number "421."

I see them here in Toronto sometimes, usually attached to a vehicle with south-eastern US plates.

i love desert tan on older toyota's. but for doing alot of road driving i like the darker colors better. i'd go with the black, given your truck is a daily driver (i assume) id go with a black cab.

and black next to olive drab, will probably make the od look more like john deere green, and kinda throw your eyes off a little.

i'd do black with the wood, i think its a good look for me.

now i dont know your age, and im not trying to be insultive, but sterotypes always make wooden beds appear to be grandfatherish, but next to a black cab, thats saying a relaxed middle aged guy who likes to party on certain occasions. but what do i know? if you were you, i'd do the complete oppisite of what i just said.

but anyway, i think black with the wooden bed looks the best to me, i hope i helped.

Hahahahahahaa~! Junk, .....you're silly! lol. I don't mean that in a grumpy, old man type of way, hahahaha. Jk, ....

And my vote is DEFINITELY for the Tan and Black... it just REALLY looks good. I would like to see the Tan, w/tan bed frame and dark brown wooden portion and wheels, ...but that's just me, lol. I know, you're "PhotoChopped" out, brandon! lol.

that actually gives me an idea:

-black wheels
-black rocker panels
-faded camo (urban, desert, od) cab and bed frame
-black or natural bedsides

basically the exact same as that pink one, but camo where the pink is

in all the other pics, the only one that had the black bottom half was the origional

yeah I finally made it it's own layer. I was thinking maybe black cab od bed, black wood and a camo'd Rocker panel.

I really like the Urban camo idea, but not sure if I can pull it off with rattle can or not.

P.S. I can not believe this thread is already at 6 pages and 772 views already.
