That is incredible! Great job Terry.

I just bought a canopy for my 1 ton, was thinking of doing the same thing. But not purple.

Thanks folks. That took approx 4hrs.... with drinkin buddy time. Likely 2hrs actual serious work. The material is really the hero here.... cool stuff and very forgiving. I get the "friend" pricing through work. All in?..... $400. Pulled the pin at 4am, will update with more pics.

Looks Cool

That does look pretty sweet with the metallic. Wrapping anything makes me think of the plumbers van with the bottom half of a guy sitting on the toilet on the drivers door lol

Default Wrap

Looks great! How would that wrap material hold up on a hunting truck? I was thinking about camo wrapping my Samurai rather than painting it army green. Can that material handle branches and trees rubbing against it or would it tear up pretty easy?

When that Chick Magnet hits the water, with that Chrysler "TOWER OF POWER" who could refuse a ride in THAT CHICK MAGNET!!!!

But Seriously, unbolt that motor before it creates some real "performance issues" if you know what I mean...

That would be nasty!

I was thinking more like a brandy wine pearl type thing....ive already got the clear 3m on the front to protect the paint from chips, so why not do the whole thing with some good low rider color? But camo...no.

That’s awesome. My dad is re doing his old tri haul right now too. I keep telling him to paint it but he doesn’t want too. I never thought about a wrap. I really like your colour scheme
