I decided to camo my pickup yesterday. I chose an earth tone, water soluble, easily applied type of camo. I just drove through then cleaned the windows enough so I could see. I do see a draw back to this type of camo job though. Being water soluble it will need to be reapplied after a good rain.

sometimes I wonder....is that getting closer..... then it hits me

I had a personal conflict the other day, now I'm not speaking to myself.... I'm getting lonesome

I met the girl of my dreams, I was the man of her dreams too.....she used the term "nightmares" though.

Looks good.  I like the earthy tones and I wouldn't worry about rain to much where you live :nofgr:.

Dang nice jog you did there Art!!  I especially like the two tone along the bottom of the doors & they way you built it up there & feathered it out to a light spray toward the top. That's thinking outside the box man!!  :yoyo: :yoyo:

Whoever did the work on that camo job sure knew their business.
When they come for mine they better bring theirs

I'm with Hamer I like the 3D affect under the doors and on the mirrors, a little something extra!   :yoyo:

Looks good! Only thing I see is you might try to get the headlights with a little more coverage. Them things can be seen from a long ways off if the sun hits them just right.
Don't bring shame to our sport.

If it's stuck good you'll get it out in one piece. If it's stuck BAD you're gonna need a mechanic.  :yoyo: :yoyo:

We had to lay on our backs in the mud and weld for about an hour....... Thats bad..... :laf: :laf:  I wish I had my camera as it took a FORD to pull out the jeep and Jimbo woulda loved that.... :eyebrownod:  even my eyes were caked with mud helping get it out..... when I got there ya couldnt see the head lights as they were that deep in the hole! just as we got him out of the hole the rear end twisted and the drive shaft broke....... the front end broke two holes earlier...... :laf: :laf:
But in the end the old ford over heated and my Dodge pulled both out to the flat bed....... :eyebrownod: :eyebrownod:  :laf:

Nice work on the camo, expertly done! 

I had what I figured was 150 pounds of mud on my Skuzzookee recently by the time I got back to pavement on a run I did from up in the Chilcotin down through the Gang Ranch in BC during an early spring breakup.  A measure of how a bad it was is that I stopped at Cache Creek and washed it off at a truck wash.  That astounded my wife, who doesn't think I ever wash it, and that I let the incessant rain here keep the mud coat manageable.  Trouble was that the wheel rims were packed with mud on the inside which I did not fully realize, and my wash job removed enough of it to make the tire balance WAAAAY out of whack.  I pulled off and crawled under it with a stick and pried enough mud off to even it out some.

Al, lying in the mud under a stuck vehicle, to repair it, is way down on the bad end of life experience.   Stuck Fords, Dodges etc....   seems like we pasted this song before but just in case.
