So today I became rackless, then I was like, ehhhh, the I put on the Esky rack I got from Chistoso :hands:, and I was like "Yeahhhhh buddy", Also painted my front Valance. Now I need a wash cus my truck is freaking dirty and its going to rain for a week, and I need some wheels.

I coulda done better sanding the valance, but it's all good. So I'd say if your going to paint yours, screw sanding it, just clean it and paint it.

Looks great! I love the color of your truck. The chrome roof rack is one of my favorite mods.

Now you just need the door handles and running boards! I can't remember who owns this Tahoe, but it's one of my favorites.

Like it!!! I agree, the chrome rack is a great mod. When I first did it to the Hoe I was impressed how much difference it made and now it's on your Kon.

I just masked it off, but you can carefully pop out the letters and then paint them. Easier to paint with them out but it'll take more time because you need to be careful not to break the letters.

Lookin good Tast

Thank you sir!

Just makes me want to go get some wheel really bad. Hey it'll wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for you. :Handshake:


I still have some paint left. Might get some more later to paint some other stuff. In due time, it'll all come together, just tryna do other things right now.
