Zebra X is Complete (for now)

[steeze]

First off I want to say thanks to everyone who helped me get through the last week or so. The BL, PML, and tires are done. All the little mishaps have been fixed and all around it went fairly smooth. 4Lo still works with the BL, I trimmed very little plastic, and the bumpers were relocated. The sliders are on because... I kind of want to destroy them wheeling. The grill guard is on because I cant afford shrock yet and I like them anyways. I want to give a shout out to James for all his help and threads he has done.

Sorry there poser pics because I just got the tires on. I might be going wheeling in Parker we have about 700 acres to do whatever we want so let me know if any of you would like to come, I want to try and get there this afternoon and it's only ten minutes from Park Meadows so its real close.

Thanks Again Ronin

Sweet!!!!!

Brandon, great job bro!!!! I am glad that I could help you out!. You should throw a coat of white on those shackles. I think that would look good. Also, paint your trim black. That would look awesome! Did you do the zebra stripes yourself? I like them. They look sick!!!

How did you keep the brush guard with the BL? Those rims look sick! need a spare?

[bogof]

That looks awesome!

I am digging the zebra stripes.

Are those rims rhino lined/durabak?

[steeze]

Thanks Homies Im glad you dig it. The rims are just painted with high heat BBQ paint I think I wrote a thread on it somewhere, and it holds up awesome. As far as the shackles go painting the shackles white is a hell of an idea, Ill do that this summer for now it matches a giant blue Volcom decal on the hood so... I need to finish painting all the plastic and trim but ill do that when it's warmer. The stripes however were done myself but Volcom paid for it. The stripes are cut out of black adhesive vinyl I got at McGuckin hardware in Boulder. I think it was like thirty bucks for the vinyl and then the decals are all free. You can't see it but the stripes continue up onto the hood. The brushguard is bolted to custom mounts that bolt into the frame. The idea behind it is in a head on impact the brushguard "idealy" will collapse at the attachment point and hopefully cause less damage. Honestly if Im in a accident with something the last thing Im worried about is the X, and the extra metal in front might help. Its actually a pretty good system and should work if I ever crashed.

well im going to do a 2" BL on the 13 and how did you keep the brush Guard on thanks.:D

[steeze]

Well I dont know how brushguards are mounted normally but mine is basically only mounted at the frame so take whatever brackets off that dont attach to the frame. You might have to drill through the frame, thats what i had to do. I'm assuming of course you dont want the ghetto front bumper gap.

[No Pipe]

so you just left it where it was and did the BL

[steeze]

Ya well I took it off did the BL and put it right back on like I said mine attaches at the frame right where the bumper attaches to the frame.

Good looking truck!

I saw you in Boulder at the Broadway/University intersection on Sunday. I think we both did a double take at each other!

My roommate said he really likes the look of your zebra stripes and suggested I should do it to mine...then he visualized it and though of giraffe spots. Ha!

My lift won't be here until tuesday. :(

[steeze]

Ya I thought that was you Garrett. Maybe you could turn yours into a Bee... that would be interesting.

What's up Tommy, Glad you dig my truck so much. Im planning on doing a black mountain silhouette across the bottom, wrapping all around the truck. Possibly this summer when the weather is nice.
