Had a few free hours today to start some illustrations, fun project. I expect I'll do both side views and then the 40 series. Perhaps front and back after that...

Finally got the whole illustration finished. Its been a bit of work but pretty fun and relaxing to do.

Will be out at the Run To The Sun in the Pinnacles this weekend, can't wait.

The stripes? I just ordered 3M vinyl from Amazon and did them myself. Cost about $50.

Actually its a little stuffed owl. He's been on three trucks now and has probably close to 120K miles on him. Here he is on my Tundra in 2013!

I had something similar on my old pathfinder, it was a pink bunny I got from some event in college, it prolly loged about 10k miles and was replaced by a mallard who saw about 10k more...
