This is a spot about 6 miles from my house that is fun to take the Libby. It has lots of hills and trails to follow. Here are some pics of me going up and down some hills. The hills are a lot steeper than they look in these pics.

You can see the moon in front of the left side of the bumper in this one.

Nice pics... How did you do your hood?

I had to remove the hood, and remove the washer nozzles and the pad under the hood. Then we taped off the raised portion in the middle, and covered the rest of the hood with masking paper.

The paint had to be sanded on the raised section so that the Rhino lining would adhere to it. Then we reinstalled the hood. I also did the grille the same way. I was really happy with the way it came out. The best part is, it only cost me a $7 lunch to have a buddy at my work shoot the hood and grille for me. :pepper:


Here is a pic that I took about a month ago. It shows a close up of the hood and grille.

No kidding. I got lucky. The guy that sprays the stuff does really good work.

I had my Dad's push bar (the first one) sand blasted and sprayed in CAT black for a 6 pack of corona

I was going to two tone the paint with a dark graphite colored paint. I got several quotes and it was going to cost around $600 for the hood and grille.
Then I thought about Rhino lining it, and it ended up costing $7 :D

I was really happy with the way it came out. I think it looks better this way than it would have if I had it painted.
