The 40’s look so much better, glad to hear you’re loving the using stage of the build!

Just been packing miles on the old girl. Thinking about Kansas rocks this weekend with the kids...?

Been moving for what seems like a couple of months. Still not settled in. Took ol 8low out to a area that specified short wheelbase trucks, paid the price in caving in most of the passenger side. It had rained the night before & was sloppy on top of tight on top of me forgetting my air gauge & not airing down enough. Found myself hung up on a tree on a tight turn. Not complaining though, the tree was keeping me from sliding down an embankment. Aired down & ran the rest of the day no problem. I will not be attempting to keep this thing straight from now on. Painting it just got a lot simpler.

What do you all think about Orange?

 

[Justin V]

Lots of sweet oranges out there, few obnoxious ones though. I'd support the decision to go orange except for "neon safety orange". That would be wrong. So wrong.

 

[Justin V]

And yay for updates! This is a sweet rig and I want to keep seeing the updates!

 

[nedceifus]

Farm store paint. Probably Kabota orange

 

[Justin V]

Yes

 

[Justin V]

Allis chalmers orange is sweet too

 

[Bent77]

I'd go with a darker orange, similar to what @ryoken has

Looked up Kubota's orange. One of them looks half red half orange. That would look nice

Orange on a rig is wrong it needs to be tan. Tan is what the cool kids trucks are.

ask @blazinzuk he will tell you the same.

Shut it Keith.

Best advise I can give is paint it white first. I just used flat white paint. Makes the orange brighter

It is a Suburban, they are stronger, faster, cooler they should be TAN, you guys with the trucks can paint them orange TAN is for the better.

 

[Justin V]

Orange is better, no Tan is better

SHAMPOO IS BETTER

Nothing about this is true. All falesy

Or actually, just blatant heresy
