jeepdoggydogB Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Just finished up my 1991-2 Eliminator sticker intall from Spencer. I also updated my blinkers and driving lights to match the SF Giants as opposed to the Oakland Raiders amid concerns from certain members that silver and black was not their cup of tea (I could go either way). My next major install will be the Iceberg winch plate and Aussie Winch. :yes:
fiatslug87 Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Nice job Joe :thumbsup: . I like the amber parking lights, I have a set awaiting installation probably on the blue truck.
HOrnbrod Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Magunda Pare! Looks super on your black beauty Joe. :cheers: BTW, is your hood unlatched (right side) in pics 2 & 3?
MJCARENA Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Your truck looks great, good job on the stickers. Kind of wish I had an Eliminator, I like the graphics.

87Warrior Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Looks fantastic. Spence did a great job at reproducing those things
jeepdoggydogB Posted April 17, 2011 Author Posted April 17, 2011 Thanks everyone :cheers: The hardest part was actually getting the early "Eliminator" stickers off of the bed, my thumb is still numb from trying to peel them off. I did not want to use diluted acetone or solvent as they have a tendency to cloud darker paints.

It isn't unattached but it has always looked mis-aligned since I bought it. You have given me a great reason to buy a hood like yours! :cheers:

But they are no longer manufactured and the ones that are left at the vendors are even more expensive than before. I hear that Keystone Automotive still has them.
Spencer97tj Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Wow, those look sweet!!! This is the first set I have seen in action! Can I post these images on my FB wall? Thanks! Spencer
jpnjim Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Very very nice. :thumbsup: :cheers: :thumbsup: Stock flares, late model mirrors, bumper guards, tonneau cover, factory decals + just enough lift = winning.
jeepdoggydogB Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 Thanks Jpnjim and Spencer, Spencer you can post them if you wish. :cheers:
GreenF350 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Same ones, but the grey is hard to see on my paint.
HOrnbrod Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Yeah, that's how they would look on my gray truck too. So I've decided not to do it. Also Spence never sent me any samples as promised to do some testing so the heck with it. They look great on Joe's black truck though. :cheers:
Automan2164 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 ...I've decided not to do it... Blasphemy! Excuses... Rob
jeepdoggydogB Posted April 21, 2011 Author Posted April 21, 2011 Same ones, but the grey is hard to see on my paint. That is certainly the right way to apply those stickers, when I get my truck painted in about 5 years in black Cherry that is exactly how I would do it. After the application of clear coat that should finish the job very nicely!

There was only one color/combo offered from the factory according to the manual Joe: 4636 350-1, TAPE PACKAGE, Bodyside, Silver/Charcoal The silver wouldn't show up for moi. Also the damn red swoosh on the side has to be removed from my truck, and I'm afraid I'd have to repaint if I removed it. Ain't chancing that just for some decals, much as I like them.

I hear babies cry because they are afraid of change too. You only live once! Loose the swoosh! Rob :D

Well Don, that leaves you with one alternative, another MJ!!! :brows:

You only live once! Loose the swoosh! Rob :D Well, as you know, I'd like to lose it. BUT it is the original dealer installed decal, and I've never seen another. Tell you what Rob; if I try to pull it and it pulls the paint off since it was installed over new paint in 02, I'll need you to fly down here and do all the prep work for a new paint job. Deal? :yes:
