Long story short:

Before my grandpa died, he let some drunken slut drive his old Lincoln. She totalled it. That was going to be my first car.

In his will he left me a few grand, witch I put towards my Ranger.

His "trade mark" was a road runner. He lived in Sunizona, Arizona and the road runners (not like the cartoon) were quite common. He had belt buckels and all sorts of road runner stuff.


A friend of mine is a great artist. I'm thinking of having him draw up a bad ass silhoette of a road runner to put on the hood or tailgate.



My thoughts: Road-runner.... runs on roads. I don't.

Thats my only thought.




Would this loose me Bad-Ass cred?
 
i think it would be cool, could put it on the tailgate and switch gates when on the trail and on the street.

think it be cool just in the fact that it is honoring your grandfather
 
tailgate art is sometimes cool..

perfect compromise

'OFF-roadrunner', honors your grandpa by incorporating his trademark into your past-time.

I like that slogan. With good artwork, it would be very cool, and the tailgate is the perfect place. Nice way to honor your grandpa.
 
Sweet

thanks guys.

My friend is workin on a rough drawing. Then I gotta find some one who does vinyl
 
Good deal, man. Throw us some pics when it's done!
 
Go for it. On the other side of the tailgate I would have this symbol

below that, it would read "Jeep recovery vehicle".
 
don't forget the trademark roadrunner horn.:woot:
 
if it was me i would put 2 matching decals on the back left and right window if you have a sliding window. if your going to continue wheeling you mite want it out of harms way so the trees and rocks dont get it. the extended cab side windows are also a good choice.

I was just thinking, the road runner is shown kicking up dust. WHy not have it licking up some mud, nice twist, and makes it off road worthy.

Or were you thinking of the road runner like on the plymouth. With it standing still.

I'm not 100% sure I am on the right track, your talking about the cartoon character, yes? The one Willy was always after? I agree 1000% with the OFF-roadrunner idea.
This is what came up in my mind. (please note this was a 1 minute HACKJOB in photoshop.)

I think it would be sweet up with your RANGER badge, and some guys may not like the idea, but you could even replace your ranger badge if you like your new graphic enough!
Like 86 said, extended cab windows are a nice place too.

I especially like the huge grin the RoadRunner always has, thumbs up.
