Well, Ive had my truck since the beginning of January and have done a handful of small things to it. The first thing I did plasti dip the bumpers and grille white and black.
Next I removed removed the factory running boards, plastic bed liner and chrome trim. Then got a spray in liner. Then I removed the rear blocks and add drop shackles to drop the rear 3". After that I decided to buy some Mcgaughys drop spindles (did a DIY post on this) and lowered the front 2". I dont have any before/after pics of the drop (you can see the drop on some later pics). I also installed an Airaid jr. kit to free up the response of the throttle a little. Finally I replace the factory tail lights with some Winjet led lights and replaced the license plate lights with some Autozone LEDs that are pretty so so lol. Add to that my Thule Xsporter rack, that I use to haul my kayaks.
Now the reason I hadn't done a build thread was because nothing I did was really that amazing. Well after playing about with Plasti Dip for some time I decided to take is a step further. I pulled all the old dip off my truck, completely tore apart the truck; Lights, bumpers, plastic trim, removed the emblems, window trim, and masked it off. I had ordered a DYC hvlp gun a few weeks back with the intention of dipping my wifes car in the future. Well, I couldnt wait and ordered 6 gallons of matte clear, bought a few cans of red, black, neon green, and went to town. I didnt take any "during" pics but believe me it was no small task. It took me three days and around 36 hours total from prep to completion. What I ended up with was Zombie Truck, I hope you enjoy it. If not oh well, you wont be driving it. Ive had a lot of positive response from it and some negative (which is always expected).
So to answer the most asked negative question which is , Why? I'll say this. Because I can, because its fun, because Im an adult but that doesnt mean I have to be boring and serious all the time, and finally because its my damn truck and I can do what I want to it. If you have any negative comment you feel you must post, please do so but know where you can stick those comments too. Everyone else, I really fun you find it fun and unique.
The green is in there because, if you know your zombies, they sometimes have crazy green blood. Why, I dont know. Probably because they arent real lol. I may add come bio hazard decals somewhere later and Im thinking of writing "infection zombie blood; do not touch" on the lower tailgate. Still undecided. Im probably going to dip the wheel black in the next week or two also. Who knows, its a work in progress.
