    Wasn't sure where to put this, here or entertainment, or wherever. Feel free to move it to the appropriate section if need be.

    Just curious as to if anyone "dresses" up their truck for Halloween? A buddy of mine has a white 4 dr JK and put bloody handprints all over it with red plasti dip and used his winch to tie down a skeleton to his front bumper. Thought about the hand print idea but 1. my truck is black so it may not show up that well, and 2, it's Vegas, there is someone killed AT LEAST every 3 days so wasn't sure if it would draw unwanted attention.

    A couple of fellas in my neighborhood go all out with chucky dolls and stuff. If I get a chance I'll have to grab some pics for some inspiration. I say go for it. I'm more into pumpkins, so I'm lookin' for some Toyota related stencils. Can't really find anything except FJs and this first gen. Glad to know though that I'm not the only one who gets down on Halloween.

    I decorate the house and what not but never really find anything for the truck other than stringing lights in the bed and plugging those in

    Isn't that illegal :anonymous: <Ironic emoticon

    I saw someone in the frugal DIY thread repurpose a skull to go on their ball. Looked pretty cool.

    A friend of mine from highschool always put the handprints on his truck and had a fake limb or two hanging out of the tailgate.

    I had cling on bloody hand prints in the window of my Frontier but the Taco has 15% tint and you won't be able to see those. There was a guy here last year who had a huge grim reaper tied up against the back of the cab of hid Dodge and it was cool looking but it was one of those huge ones that are over $200. I saw the repurposed skull thing, it is pretty cool, I just don't have a ball hitch. Don't have anything to tow that requires it. And yes, I'm pretty sure it's illegal in all states to drive with a mask on.

    You could replace your pumpkin with.... An actual pumpkin.

    I use to have the TRD Zombie Response Team bedside decals on there but took them off cause they faded so badly. I have thought about though but here in Vegas our lot sizes are barely big enough for the house itself so no room to put in the front yard for decoration. If I still lived back in Alabama on that acre then I definitely would do that

    Sorry, I haven't had a chance to do anything. My daughter has been really sick all week and been coming and going to dr apt's. I just now had time to carve a pumpkin while she's sleeping.
