If you were referring to mine, I'm not sure... It was that color when I bought it. I tried emailing the guy afterwards with some questions (color code being one of them), he never responded.

It's a turquoise/green though. I like it a lot! Except for the clear coat peeling on the fenders :frown:

It was a JDM diesel sourced through Dave Steadman. I completely dis-assembled the motor, cleaned it up, and checked condition, I was very happy with the way it turned out. If interested I may have the opportunity to purchase 2 more.

Thanks

Thanks, took a few years, but there really is nothing I haven't touched. Even with the mods I tried to make it as close to a stock feel as possible.

Find a paint supply shop and have them mix 621 Rustic Green. They can either put it in a spray can or you can get it in quarts/gallons.

Okay got some more pictures of the interior done. Also the front bull bar and winch mount. I finally have my new hunting rig complete and on the road! I just need to install a radio of some sort now. Also I corrected the rear sagging spring situation.

These rock rails are part of the frame now so I can use the highlift anyplace along them.
Took a long time to get this welded up, Fortunately my buddy is a metal fabricator and was able to assemble the design I had in my head for the grill guard and winch mounting plate

The rear view with the highlift jack mount, 3 jerry can holder, and the spare tire

The rear jump seats reupholstered, also the backs of the front seats showing the added rear pouch

The reupholstered front seats, I also added the center "tuffy" console
