That's a cool picture Rick. My Dad was quite surprised to see himself on the internet! We had a great time yesterday, the desert is so much different than what I am used to. It was great to finally meet Char too. You guys made us feel right at home. Thanks for everything.

I just added some stripes to the Great Pumpkin. Since it's not all orange I don't know if that name fits anymore 
I'm holding off on the flame job, this was a lot less expensive and I can always remove it and try something new in the future.

Rick, I think it looks great. Like you said, it's cheaper, and EVERYONE has a flame job. I think that is very classy in an understated way for a graphic accent.
I vote keep it. (Of course, this comes from the opinion of one who is putting a cheesy "Moab Edition" sitcker on his vehicle

Rick,
Can you put some 95+ taillights on there to complete the upgrade? I think it looks a little strange with a 95+ front and pre95 taillights. Other than that, the truck looks badass! Also, did I get from your post that the new stripes are vinyl stick ons? Where did you get them?
All in all, great job man!

Looks great! I like the graphics! i am looking for something like this for my Sport Trac, can someone send me a link or post it here for a company that does these graphics? Alec the tail lamps will not work on Ricks without some body altering. Looks great Rick, keep the graphics.

I showed some pics of the Great Pumpkin, Herc and Ray's nameless beauty to my Ex-Defender; I think she needs now a psychiatrist (sp?)!

I like it Rick. The checkerboard theme really works well with the orange paint.
And for anyone who is wondering I can positively confirm that Rick's truck does indeed still fit inside the garage. At least as of last week anyway.

I don't see what you did to your truck. Mine came from the factory like that.haha I like it man!!! What can u do to it now? Good thing you don't have a roof rack because then it would not fit in the garge. I LOVE IT!!!

Scott, it just fits! I have less than an inch clearance. In fact when I removed the bumpers and nerf bars the roof scraped as I was pulling out to go to the paint shop!
RU MAN, I did have a roof rack until I added the solid axle and 35s!

Rick,
Sorry about the late post on the subject, but I like the Checker design it looks good. Now if I were going with the Checker pattern I would have used the ghosting effect to blend it in(I think thats what its called). If you go with the flames in the future will you use the ghosting effect on them? Either way I like it.
