Truck speaks for itself , and for what it says it doesn't need help from stickers.

Re: Stickers? too "old School"?

DLB (ORANGE) thanks for the view without the stickers. I was'nt sure if I wanted to take them off, but your view without them looks good.

Mike (MSGROSS) I have always never really understood why I went with a white rear bumper. I built it and just went with white. I know it dosent match the front but I don't think it would look good black. I'll pull it over to "paint" on the computer and see what it looks like.
Thanks everone for your input

Re: Stickers? too "old School"?

YES they are TOO old school and that's something to be proud of! KEEP the STICKERS and ADD MORE!!!!!! If you are a baby boomer like some of us, we put ANY sticker on our vehicles even if we didn't have the parts they represented. Are NASCAR and CART and other pro racers uncool with their stickers? Are they worried about show points? Paste 'em on there and replace 'em when they come off. Great looking truck, ole boy!

Re: Stickers? too "old School"?

I like them but might get tired of them before long. The truck is so nice that it may actually draw attention away from the REAL goods. The real deal though is, if you like them, leave them. I do what I like with my stuff even if others dont like it...

Re: Stickers? too "old School"?

I run a few stickers on the back window of my daily driver ('05 Canyon). Real old skool stickers. A RAT FINK on the drivers side, MOONEYES on the passengers side and a CLAY SMITH decal in the center. Only stickers allowed on my jeep is a U.S. ARMY sticker on the rear bumper.

Re: Stickers? too "old School"?

First off it's your truck... do what you want. Second I like the stickers... it's a 4x4 and it looks badass! As long as there aren't any bumper stickers... those tick me off. Also what is the color of the paint... I love it!

Re: Stickers? too "old School"?

I think you should keep he stickers and get rid of the truck. I will be by in 3 hours to dispose of it for you.

That is an awesome truck, I like the sticker location. It is better than seeing them in the back window or on the rear bumper. I say keep them, and after the show, go talk to the judges and see if that was a factor in winning/not winning at the show.

Good luck at the show.

Re: Stickers? too "old School"?

If you were going to compete or race or something I'd leave em on. If it were my truck I'd pull em off. I don't think they look bad I just think the truck is already amazing and you just don't need anything else to stand out.

Re: Stickers? too "old School"?

Nice Truck you got there. Good luck at the meet(s)!

Over here in Germany we only put stickers on when we get money for it.
We think if you plaster your car or truck with stickers, thiefs won´t even have to open the hood to know what you have in it.

Re: Stickers? too "old School"?

I actually don't mind it, but it also looks clean without. Your call on this one.

One question, are those Interco Truxx or whatever tires? They sure look like them, and if so, how do you like them? I really like the look and reviews they get, and I'm looking for something for my 4x4 Jimmy. Thanks!

Re: Stickers? too "old School"?

PRG MACHINE here's a pic of the msd mount. Just some bent sheet metal on the fenderwell.
MUDDPILE yea there the intercos 39.5s Ireally like them on the road. I don't drive it too much so they have very little wear but if driven on the street alot I'v been told they wear quickly. I am happy with them.
this is how I mounted the stickers. Iwant to thank ya'll for all the feedback much more than I expected.

Re: Stickers? too "old School"?

I have started to mostly look at life through my Son"s eyes.

He is about 31 inches tall now.

If we were standing by your truck, he would point at them and say,
" Whats that daddy''? , and i would explain how those parts made it work.

Leave em . life is good, kent


nice truck.
