White Gold thread

I know there is a similar thread started last year but wanted to have an up dated thread to see what others are doing to their trucks. It would be nice to see how things that are added to our color trucks look before upgrading ours.

Painting different parts, letter inserts, lights etc. I haven't added anything to my truck yet so I only have stock pics.

With all the rain we've been getting I'm liking this color more and more...just put a quick wash job on mine and guess what...its raining!! Color is real close to the Arizona Beige I had on my '04 Lariat but a little lighter.

Here's a pic of the '04 Lariat I had with Arizona Beige paint. A little darker the White Gold but where I worked it was was the easiest color to keep clean.

I love the color also. I also think it hides the dirt too well! Will this cause me NOT to wash the truck as often cause it looks clean?

Here are my caribou letter inserts hood and tailgate, it really makes a difference how the light hits the letter as to what color they look like.

I know that Paw has the MX4 cover, do you have the same?
I am looking for a bed cover but am undecided on which one. Plans are for 5er for full time down the road. I don't have the bed camera, can either of you see the hitch without the camera?

I have an MX4 also, I took Paw's recommendation and got one. when the cover is folded up to the last flat position I can't see my gooseneck ball with the bed camera but if it was a 5th wheel hitch I think I would be able to.

Sherpa...the seats are so high in the 17's I had to remove the center headrest to get a better view. I put a piece of white tape on the pin box cover to make it easy to line up. I have to get straight backing up to the trailer but the dually fenders are the same width as the trailer. Open my sliding rear window and use the center of the window opening to line up to the trailer pin. Once I get close I'll get out and check the height if I'm ready to hook up...always good to have a spotter to stop you because with the tailgate down its only 5 or 6 inches from the trailer. I usually check the height when I detach from the ground to king pin and use my remote leveler to get it close before starting to back up. Just about the same principle as when I drove semi trucks years ago that had sleepers...just back up straight and hope for the best!!! Always test pull before you leave.

I could not be happier with the color. It doesn't show dirt and we too are getting rain and it keeps looking good. My add on's with regard to the color are the bed cover, letter inserts on the tailgate and flaps.
