That would be fun to watch. I'd do it too...until my trans freaked the nasty anyway.

We could have a show at Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Wash off the paint ball shrapnel in Lake Michigan. Many take their trucks out into the lake, have fun, fish or private time with the feefee.

I go up to Escanaba area a few times in the summer. Lots of family lives up there in the UP right on the lake. I enjoy going there more than Florida in the summers. Better views

Also, I always try to stop at the bridge and go to Mackinac for a day or so. Fun to bike and hike

Very nice up that way. I lived a mile from the lake (outskirts of Muskegon) if you cut across the dunes. Dunes were across the street. Only problem back then is the dunes was owned by a sand and gravel company. They like to give chase. But if you were quick and didn't get a flat (tree root spikes), it was a fun trip!

I haven't made it to the dunes yet, but I've rode a lot of miles on the snowmobile trails up there during the summer on ATV. I can go for 50-60 miles on those trails and not see a single other person. Definitely isolated past the bridge

Ok, so not the best pics, but I got the front chrome piece done and I can honestly say it doesn't look bad. I'll probably do the valance too though. Hopefully this weekend the rear bumper and tool box will be painted as well as the badges.

Sorry about the crap pics. It's getting dark and is rainy here.

Looks really good. Colored matched mine as well. Also rhino lined the valance. Gave it a nice finish and holds up well to the road grim.

That looks great! And I don't know about painting the valence. If anything, it should match the two-tone lower color, but I like it as-is.

Just say no to chrome.
