    Um, nope. Nothing on this thing is factory. The Jonny Cash song is a better description for it. I want a woods jeep, something to slide along a tree as I squeeze through the trail. Narrow front flat fenders, no rear fenders (only armor), old 5 spoke alum rims, and fill length tube steps. No stock paint color.

    Leave it primer then. You seem to be saying no to every suggestion made.

    Something with Krylon. Makes for easier touch up after a weekend out.

    Painting my old 65 IIA in krylon tan when I rebuilt it after a roll over accident.

    Sand blasting in a week or so, excited to get this done and drive it! I added 4.1 gears and a locker at the back, should be fun. Got a 100 acres of woods up north to run on, friend down the road has another 250.

    looks great! That color fits it perfect.
    I did my frame with fleet farm tractor/implement black so it'd be easy to touch up. I'll save the paint code for annual touch up on the armor.

    Funny with me it felt SAS. But I guess add a couple Pith helmets and some palm tree AK insignia and we are there.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    That stuff just adds a lot more to weight quickly.

    When it’s time to frame off my 04 2500 I’m probably gonna go with the USMC coyote brown or OD green.

    Yeah why not primer brown. You could easily touch up any rock scrapes to the metal and the red clay stains would blend right in. David
