PICS!!:gaah::giggle:

 

[chad]

the first week i got the h3. cant find the pic from the dealer.

 

[chad]

then it got blacked out, brush guard and roof rack and after a month in san diego me and the wife loaded up and headed to florida.

 

[chad]

we went to my parents place in tn over christmas and played around with a couple friends. was a lot of fun!

 

[Kyle]

Looks good!!

 

[chad]

my friend high centered this behemoth and was quite the job to get it out even with the m35

 

[chad]

took the doors off for some fun in the sun here in florida!

 

[chad]

then my friend wanted to paint his jeep so he said if i spray hed buy the paint so we did it.

 

[chad]

some pics after it got put back together. got a little over zealous with the extra paint but thought the interior could use a little more color!

 

[chad]

over the weekend i decided to make a rack for the jerry cans, one water and two fuel cans. if anyone is interested in this rack i will make one at a good price and i have a couple extra cans available too. i wanted to weld it but my friends welder couldnt to aluminum and didnt know till i already bought the metal :gaah: but if someone wants one out of light steele it will be welded. the plus side of being bolted its easy to store if not in use

Dang, that looks great! Love the olive drab!

 

[chad]

mostly cosmetic stuff but soon gonna do the good stuff, just a little short on cash for now, but to come 35" tires, winch, rock sliders, pcm tune, and thinking about making a full roof rack. i got the snorkel stuff to make my air vent into a snorkel in the garage but that will be this weekend maybe.

Nice job Chad, I'm diggin how you matched the interior as well. I did same but with flat black and then swapped out my gauge cluster. Still working on getting pics posted. Keep the pics coming :thumbs:

I almost did the tan but the wife liked the green more and my friend who got the paint wasn't sure how it would look on his jeep. I am very happy with how it all turned out though. Would love to see one in tan!!!

It's supposed to be the best against it. So far it doesn't leave any marks.

where did you get the paint? im going to do this but with tan!

i got the paint through chemsol.com, the paint i got is the mil-dtl-64159b type 2 go to colorserver.net and find the fed color code that you like and give chemsol the color number and the type of paint you want. the stuff i got is really easy to apply and work with, cleans up with water and is reduced for a thinner mix with distilled water. its also supposed to be very enviromentally safe as well. the color code i got is 34095. the total price was $475.00 it only comes in a 1.5 gallon kit and was enouogh to do mine and the 4 door jeep. its a 2 part mix so any left over will store indefinately from what i read as long as its not mixed, i only mixed one spray can at a time which came out to be about 32 ounces.
