Back to Black again

As some of you and my buddies have guessed my indecisiveness has got the better of me and I've gone back to black. Haven't been all black in a year or so and I'm happy to get used to it again. The snorkel saw the nicest change the Krylon really did its job and brought it to a nicer-than-new gloss black. The Gobi stealth rack will be here sometime this month, and soon after will be the Bushwackers. No more deciding on a color scheme, everything black! Ahh so much easier haha

Before





After

Looks way better and yes, way easier when trying to "match" other things....black, black and black, easy peasy.

Its made by Gobi and I assure you the product is top notch. shoot me an email and I can help you out with information and/or purchasing.

...and you never know George, next time I might hook up with the Breast Cancer alliance and get that trim bright pink

You need some sliders to fill up that empty space.

Looking schweet. Black is nice.. I am envious! Truck looks beefy too. Damn.

The best part, by far.... is definitely... the Chargers front license plate... without it, it would look HORRIBLE! hehehe.

I liked the tan, unique but good looking. Black is overdone that's why I'm going with it on my white 4runner in the near future......

Thanks guys, haha I thought you'd like that Ian people are going to stop laughing around these parts when the bolts win the super bowl.

bak3rme, I used to live in Roswell but I'm at Georgia Southern until summer, I'm up there a good bit still though

The stealth rack has been shipped out today and given a safe trip (the first one was damaged in freight) I'll have it on by Monday. We're going to Boone this next Thursday for MLK weekend for a few days of snowboarding, the 4runner and the rack and ladder will be getting its usage for sure. Lots of pretty professional pictures to come from that

if i can send the repair bills your way i can start back but until i finish my degree i need it to succeed with its primary function which is getting me from a to b. don't forget that some of us have priorities that supersede expensive hobbies.
