kinda kicking myself for not inboarding the rear a bit...but it still keeps all 4 planted when flexed on a 44" tire. rides a lot better too.

He used the Krylon camo spray paint. It comes in a camoed can with a camo jeep on it. Some Wal-Marts carry it. The first time I got it I found it in the sporting section (only during hunting season for duck boats) But when I came to Chico they had it in the spray paint section. I have used several different brands of paint for my camo over the years and this in comparison is better quality. And on top of that the OD seems to get better with age.

Yeah the Walmart cans are the best. Regular flat black or white for $0.98 and the other colors for camo at about $2 a can. Gotta love it!!

I talked Nellie into letting me camo our bug when we get the motor for it next month. Now I just have to get her to do the Bronco II also :D :D :D

I used the tan flavor of that paint over a coat of primer on my Runner. Came out very nice. Hides the plethora of dents, too. Nothing like being able to fix the scratches from dragging tree down the body with a minute of your time, a little sanding, and a rattle can. I'll never own another offroad rig that doesn't have a rattle can paintjob.
