Very nice indeed! You have an excellent setup and I want one like it.

KOWBOY · 03-20-08, 07:10 PM

Matched the paint, tires, and wheels ... and lost all the stickers.

Very clean. Very cool.

It was color coded off the cruiser and matched. However 15 year old paint never looks the same. Also the cruiser is a 2 step vs. the trailer 1 step (at least thats what i was told). It's a offroad trailer.. so as long as it's somewhat close, im fine with it. The bottom charcoal is almost dead on. Im happy with it for what i paid, which was next to nothing IMHO. Metallic silvers are super hard to match.

Looks KILLER! Thanks for sharing, running to expo now!

Have fun

WOw that looks nice... I hear those are hard to find used, did you have to search long??

SOCALFJ · 03-20-08, 10:14 PM

Thanks guys...

Yep, super rare to find used. Actually we were thinking about buying a new Chaser model stripped down..... and then one day i figured, hey why not ask if they have a used model..... We were super lucky. I actually asked at the right time... Mario at AT was selling off one of the rentals. I told him, pretty much site unseen i'll take it and figured out how to pay for it later. I couldn't pass it up no matter what.

There is always a lot to be said about being in the right place at the right time!!! Nice find and nice paint, and tires to match your rig !!

Gotta love it. That is sweet. In post #4 it looks like you painted the propane bottle gray and the the gas cans black. Or were there not gas cans in the trailer?

Yeah i prepped the propane tank and masked it and they shot it for free. I wanted it to be the lower gray color but propane expands too much (ever notice they're all white?) so i just went silver... and that way it matches but doesnt get super hot and blow the safety valve.

The gas cans are there, they're the same as the NATO cans on the roof rack. Olive drab. So they match perfectly.

Thanks for the kind words.
