Let's See Some Black & Tans!!

texsurf21 · 07-02-08, 07:42 AM

A while ago while I was completing my lift install I was mainly receiving advice from members with pretty sweet Black&Tans. So let's see these awesome rigs. I have included two photos,
1) Purchase day, 2) Post 5" Alcan day. Thanks to all that gave me guidance and inspiration.

5280Hawk · 07-02-08, 07:56 AM

Don't mind if i do.

texsurf21 · 07-02-08, 08:26 AM

Yes it is Tan, just very light. The PO had it painted over the original tan.
