    post a pic of ur truck in the photoshop request thread. honestly i think this would look sick. especially with some off road armor or at least a brush guard and some things like that. but if you do this, DEFINATELY post pics. they also have this color available in plasti-dip if you want to experiment with some parts

    Those colors are actually patented by the US military and illegal for civilian use. Kindof weird I actually just talked about this at work today. I mean I'm sure you'd get away with it but you never know. That and the aircraft/naval ship color blue/grey

    I mean honestly I would do it myself if I didn't have to drive it on to a Marine Corps base everyday. Probably just depends on if you're in a military town or not really. I'm not sure how strict of a law this is.

    Sorry if there was any confusion, but from what I heard its illegal for any personal vehicle usage. Not just civilians

    No one cares. I'm an MP Platoon Leader and I will guarantee you will never receive an ounce of flack over it.

    Someday... once full beater status is achieved, my truck is getting an OD green rattle can paint job.

    Not enough.
    I've been wanting to do this for a looong time. Maybe a vinyl wrap first, and leave all my accents black.

    It would look cool as f#@&.
    I would be worried about resale value or at least make sure its fully paid for.
    Desert sand would look pretty out of place in Canada but I had thoughts about a full olive drab Taco.

    I vote no.
    That color looked awesome on the older pickups, but it doesn't blend well with the Tacoma's.
