I was painting the tube work on the explorer one day, so while I had the spray cans out I did this.

Latest mod: painted the wheels satin black, but left the outer ring.

Future mods are 35s, gears and a programmer.
 
That tent is wicked, I like what you did to the wheels. Any other pictures of them painted black?

Also I may be blind but I don't see any difference in the Before/After pictures:dunno:

Sorry guys, I guess I didn't set my subscriptions! I'll change that now. Thanks for the compliments.

MountainMike, here are some closer pictures of the wheels. I just roughed them up with scotchbrite pads, cleaned with acetone, taped off the outter ring and sprayed them with outdoor Satin Rustoleum.

Oh, I also painted all of the plastic trim since it was grey and not black anymore. Quick example:
