Looks great was the unibody itself bent up at all?, how much did that camo cost you and where did you get it? Also who makes that bumper, or is it homemade?

The bumper is Custom homemade, the camo is from camomyride.com and it runs about 700 bucks, plus you have to install it yourself

700 bucks is a good deal considering that getting a good paint job costs 1000+ around here. im thinking of putting a 2 inch stripe across the side of my jeep.

Ou, and the unibody was not hurt at all!! My uncle got in a wreck, and they totaled it, and he said "here you can have it for your first vehicle", and he said it joking.. I took him up on that offer and TA DA!! Its amazing what a 16 year old can do with his dad, isnt it? And niether of us have any experience with doing this stuff... He is a construction super, and i am in high school so really no expertise on this.. But its still a beast!! We got mad skills!!

Very nice

reminds me of my old duck mobile, had a 76 Scout pickup with a marsh grass camo job. Looked good back in the day when all we had was paint.

Keep motorin on!
