So my wife and I are having our first child in September. I want to be a cool Dad and I wanted to do this for two reasons.

1) I love my truck but I am not in Law Enforcement and it's getting scary with the officers being shot in their cars.

2) I think it looks cool and it was a fun weekend project.

The Camo bag that matches will be his diaper bag. :)

i like the camo & I agree, good idea to distinguish yourself.


are the Db's really Db's? ;) lol
are their bags worth the squeeze?

only reason i know who they are is a random YT vid w/ their camo Rolls-Royce

That is where I got my inspiration. As far as worth the squeeze...probably not. To each their own. I like it and am happy with the quality and of course the pattern.

i'd say do your garage floor to match, but then you'd prolly lose your hoe & bags :anitoof:


so since you have 'turbo' in your handle, any plans to add FI to your hoe?

Yes I would love to boost the Hoe with a set of matching snails but I will most likely do a Magnison blower. I want to keep the reliability.

^ a tvs1900, BBP tune & a catback will do wonders for your hoe ;)
they did for my burb.

now i am looking into smaller pulley for the 1900 & maybe LT's

That's wonderful news! Life has changed again forever for the better. Our #2 just turned sixteen last week. One day we're changing their diapers and teaching them how to tie their shoes and the next, it seems, she's driving her parents to dinner!

Very happy for you man. Your child will definitely want to fake drive your truck. Keep the entertainment strong in the Hoe if you want to drive them around a lot. Custom jobs always win. If any critique at all, the front looks like it could use a little more camo. I feel like those rims make it look more like a police car than anything. But they do match the Camo probably better than any other OEM wheel.

Congrats on the baby! Our first is 8 months old now, it's quite a change, but he is my little buddy and I wouldn't give that up for anything!

Also, I'm having severe truck jealousy at the moment. That camo is SICK

It's funny you mention the front needing more. I actually have added more and changed it up a bit since I first posted it. I'll take a new pic soon.

As far as the wheels. I agree they match the camo well but I think I want to upgrade them to these.

Just can't decide what style.
