With the black center piece, none of this is actually installed yet.
What did you do to your AT4 today?

Hey hdr9olling, I need that cover for the red lamp cover in the back to paint same as my truck. Where did you get that? I like it. You are always way more critical of your own work. I think it looks GREAT.

I bought this, it was only $30 when I ordered so if you shop around you might find it cheaper.
It comes chrome clad, you have to sand the chrome and then use adhesion promoter before you use your base coat and clear.
Pretty simple to do but I've done it quite a few times on a few vehicles that had chrome clad parts.
Make sure to attach the camera piece to make sure there is a good fit while your sanding before any paint.

Put in a little toolbox last week finally. Threw in my tow straps, tool bag, jumper cables, and my floor jack. Found a cool aluminum mount for the jack on Amazon. Keeps the floor jack secure after I screwed it into the tool box, and ratchet strap.

Did some Plastidipping on the back end. Unfortunately the plastidip didn't come off cleanly on the 4 so going to have to do that again (I wanted to expose the red but remove the chrome). Thinking about trying to peel the inner GMC to expose the red.

If'n you don't like the red, you can always re-do it also!

Got some new (well overdue) tires. I installed a 2.0 SST last fall but didn't want to spend the coin on new tires at that time. On Friday I had 285/75/18 BFG KO3's installed. I was prepared to do some trimming but so far it doesn't rub anywhere. I think it is the perfect tire size for this lift.

Fixed the 4 the best I could. Used some painter tape and a scalpel. For some reason the tape left a good amount of residue so I've got to clean that up a bit, but mission accomplished for now. Not perfect, but what in life is?

Looking good. For what it’s worth I found green Frog Tape to work much better on the emblems for masking than typical blue painters tape. Better adhesion and release and cleaner edges. May be worth trying if you decide to do it again.Fixed the 4 the best I could. Used some painter tape and a scalpel.

I played with the plastidip and didn’t like the finish after a few months. Seemed to dull a bit and I wasn’t happy. The emblems come off really easy with heavy dental floss. Just tape behind them. Ended up taking mine off, using a red scotch pad on the chrome, then frog tape to mask the red. Used matte black Krylon Fusion on mine to contrast the black onyx paint. Then fresh 3M tape to put back on. If you decide you don’t like the plastidip outcome, painting is another option. Did all of mine 3 years ago and holding up well.

Thanks for the pics! That does look nice. I'll probably do something like that when the Plastidip deteriorates. I'll probably plastidip my side badges too and eventually take them all off and properly paint them. Plastidip is just too easy for a quick 'fix'!
Looking sharp!

Hello ATFAM,
Good evening all. Hoping this post finds everyone well and in good spirits!
No major MODS per se…like the BOLT ON ‘s I have planned/want to go FULL SEND ON..however you asked so here it is.
What did YOU do to your AT4 today?
Besides capturing this all natural photo of my BBC (Big Black Canyon)…why does everyone go all perverted with it
She is awaiting her new MX4 Bakflip Tonneu cover and the SWINGCASE TRUCK BED TOOLBOX (drivers side configuration) to be delivered and installed.
Check out the crisp pic I got of her the other night in a glowing GA SUNSET next to WAWA! I think these mighty midgets get better by the day.
Slaínte,
