DirtRidinZ71 Truck Life. From junk to Camo'd

I've had it on for 2 years now and IMO it has held up really well. If it had been paint it would be well scratched. I havent cleaned it up yet this spring, but know of one spot that needs repaired.

Thats great. It sounds like from your other post that the cold causes alot of your problems. I am in the desert so that shouldn't be a problem. My only concern is the wrap I am looking at. I like the Mossy Oak Brush but their patterns only cover the roof above the doors so I will need extra to finish the job. (question) I am still trying to get used to this forum. Did the picture I posted show up? Thanks for the info.

Yeah your picture showed up!

Not much of an update, havent really did much to the truck or even drive it. Put in the other half of the bench seat, cleaned up the frame and wheels, changed another wheel bearing and then played with it some last weekend and tore a cv boot. I'm thinking maybe peeling the wrap off from the bottom body line down and bedlining it, as that is where most the tears/patches are, if anyone could photoshop that?

Scored this chev 10 bolt for free today and have found a 1990 blazer donar truck for the t-case and other SAS parts. So I may go that route yet.

Well I got the axle all tore down, and found a ford D44HP for sale that I will probably pick-up.

I love the rockers, the best tires I have had. Great off road, good on the road, wore great, good in snow. I would have kept them if I hadnt got a deal on the boggers. New 37 Rockers were insanely priced.
