If you go for the back out, it'll look funny with multicolored paint scheme. You can paint the door handles, license plat holder, etc small doodads the same color as the area they reside. Kind of like the black arb 60 that's been posted here a few times.. https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/64577-arb-emu-dakar-60-series.html

I disagree. All chrome becomes black, and has little to do with the rest of the paint scheme.
well, it's your 60.. go for it.
Do it! No reason not to do/try something just because it hasnt been done/not a ton of feedback on it. And do what you want with the paint, who cares what others think.

X2 about what Tofu said for the bedliner in the typical spots, I've got Durabak on the lower body line/front hood line/lower valence under the grill/and wrapping the tail gate. IMHO it looks really good, and since my 62 is semi blacked, it looks even better.

OK, these are 31's. 33"s will be a no-brainer, but will 35"s fit? The rears have more clearance than the fronts...

little front fender cut if is necesary .. but 35" sure yes .. ! ( SR kit if you need a couple of more inches )

Added to the list!
If 35's rub, I'll hardly ever know, this rig is gonna be more expedition than rock crawler. A 60/62, SUA, with ass intact (non-bobbed) is not exactly the ideal crawler anyhow...

OBA. Harbor Freight. $50 (-20% of coupon). $9 for the 2-year warranty I am sure I will be needing.
I removed the diamond plate base, mounted it sideways to the inner fender, and ran the power cable under the top of the core support. It has battery cable clamps, which are disconnected until needed. This air hose easily reaches all four tires and tucks nicely and securely under the unit and out of the way.

I made up my mind. PPG 45228, aka Toyota olive green/olive brown.
That'll look sweet, for sure.

I am going with:
PPG "Essential" one-stage urethane (1 gal.) to code 45228 = $116.36
Hardener (1 gal.) = $45.99
DT895 Reducer (1 qt.) = $18.80
4:1:1 ratio
"Euro" (one side waxed) paper, 18" x 350 ft. roll= $23.95
Tape (have).
Buying a Husky gun adn borrowing (hopefully) a compressor.

you better have a filter and water trap on the compressor

If I borrow a compressor, I will return it like I borrowed it, not to worry.
I may just rent one and let them worry about cleaning it thoroughly.

no, the filter and water trap are for the paint. If you use some random compressor it could shoot water and crap through the line, mix with your paint, and give you a phenomenally awful fisheye drippy paintjob.

You officially have me confused. Where would the water be coming from? Paint guns use air compressors last time I checked.
