Oh hell yeah that looks sick.

Yeah...I don't have the $$ or the time to do the whole thing. It took me 3 1/2 hours just to get the trim done. lol Taping is a bitch...especially the rear bumper.

Hopefully it doesn't flake off over time...it's just Tremclad. If it does...I go at it with POR 15 next. lol

Silly EB, paint goes on truck, not in stomach.

Murdered out is my current end goal for the look of mine. It does cost some cash some it's not like there are many factory cars/trucks that come with flat black from the factory.

My friend got a 600 dollar flat black paintjob on his foxbody and it turned out like complete crap.

PAINT!

Just a few pix of the new paint scheme. Black and chrome baby!

Special thanks to GO85BB for the idea!

A new head-turning beast is born!

OH YEA BABY! THAT'S WHAT I WAS TALKING BOUT!!!

Freaking looks like a whole new truck! I love it when the trim is blacked out.
You done yourself good! Nice thing bout rattle can flat, is if it chips, you tape and redo it!

i agree w/ the masses, it looks so much better that way..

of course you still have those heated leather seats for some reason! lol...

but wow, black looks great.

so what's next!?

 

['99 EB Explorer]

Thanks for all the good reviews guys!

Next will be getting the 4x4 running again. Found a t-case(bw4405 direct replacement) for $175 at the wrecker that I found the F-150 springs.

Then after that(but not any time soon) will be the NoSlip lockers. Close relatives of the lockrite, but no ratcheting and very good road manners....as noted by a member of explorerforum.com who has them in his '99 EB.

Then next(we're talking wayyyy in to next year now) I'll be doing a 2" body lift and looking for 33's

Stay tuned!

noslips are MAD $$$$ though ouch, looks sweet man

 

['99 EB Explorer]

Yeah I noticed that they're way more expensive. But I want something that's going to work...and I don't have to fiddle with to make it work. Just install and forget about it.

 

[4.0B2]

honestly aussies have good road manners, ONCE you get used to it.....lol
and are a lot cheaper!

 

['99 EB Explorer]

Yeah, as long as they don't ratchet, i'm fine with that. But I want to install one in the front diff first to compliment the L/S rear and aussie doesn't offer one for my front end.

 

[Ranger Sport Honduras]

looks great man!

 

[02RangerXLT]

Looks good! Just don't tint your tails please...

 

['99 EB Explorer]

Hellz no! I'm not ricing it out...
