I agree! I've always loved black vehicles. Heck all but one of mine was black for nearly 30 years. I love the black and tan together. Really classy looking with just the right amount of bling!

Ahhh.

I don't know. It looks kinda blustery. Hard to find strippers in that kind of weather.

The smart Sailor was using the Pipe to enhance safety while getting up and down from the tailgate......




I moved the 7-pin socket because it was in the way of a toolbox I'll be installing .....port side, aft of the wheel well........More pictures at the Jolly Green thread (link in my signature)

The Kodiak brown is GOOD LOOKING, in fact I think most of the SD trucks have some great looking paint no matter the color

Growing up and being around show cars so long, I used to love a true candy apple paint job. Deep with the metallic. But we all know in the old days that a metallic paint was usually one of the first to fade really bad. Now it is an entirely different story. Ford's line of colors the last few years are beautiful. My '10 Dually was Royal Red and one of the best looking paints I'd ever seen from the factory. I love the metallics, and with the clear coats on these now, they should last almost forever. Even my Platinum White has just enough 'pop' in it to make it really shine. Something that didn't happen with white trucks for a long time. And you are so right, they are harder to keep clean because they BEG to shine and BEG you to stare at them.
