Army Green thread: let’s keep it green!

Man, my truck is for work primarily, hard use weekends second. I’m just planning on repainting in 8 or 10 years. I plan on keeping mine until they outlaw gas engines.

I will say that I like the green a lot. Cleans up really well so far.

 

It’s a finicky paint for sure. Mine is hand wash only and I always wipe it down dry to avoid water spots. I ran it through the car wash once and never again. Left smudges all over it. It’s a little more trouble but it sure is worth it when you see it’s many shades outdoors.

 

From my only 1 week of ownership I can say that you can see everything on this paint! Fingerprints show up very easy. I love the color though and wouldn't change it for the world. I also come from only owning white trucks which were pretty easy to keep clean looking.

 

Team AG!

 

Not sure if they’ve ever made lunar rock tacos… I’ve never seen one. If anyone has a pic, I’d love to see it.

 

Just finished my lift. 2” front spacers, 3” rear blocks. Looks aggressive, but not hill billy high. Love it. Took about 5 hours by myself with no prior experience or knowledge (just lots of YouTube). You need a few extra minor mods to go along with it (swing arm relocation, and drop bracket)

 

Probably shows a little bit more dirt then metallic paint, but nothing crazy. Definitely worth having it in AG. Get the ceramic coating. Most of the grime washes off with the rain.

 

Love your lights. Want to do the same with my taco.

 

Looks awesome, just need some bronze wheels and big tires!

 

Awesome man! Welcome to the team!

 

Scratches and swirls are definitely more noticeable, someone scratched my door the first day I drove it to work after I bought mine, so frustrating.

 

I just got the rear add on kit in yesterday's mail!

 

Picked it up last night. Had the TRD lift, Bronze Pro Wheels and Nitto Ridge Grapplers (P265/70r17) all installed! Loving how it turned out with the army green!

 

Looks great!!! How did the TRD lift change the ride? I’m hearing it’s a little firmer ride and actually an improvement over stock set up? Welcome to the AG team!

 

It's definitely a stiffer/firmer ride over the sport shocks, but I actually prefer it. The sport shocks were great but just a little too floaty. Over bumps and stuff they are great though!

 

Off road is the same kind of floaty. Thanks for the info! I love my truck but I believe it could be a little bit better In that aspect.
Enjoy brother!

 

Thanks! I’m cheap so the bigger tires will wait until I go through the tread on these. I actually like the stock wheels. May paint them black one day, but not yet

This is is my daily driver. I don’t do much off roading, so didn’t need anything crazy.
