We were donated a DYC wrap ZGA Hypershift with our foundation logo between the Base and outer logo. May do wheels and my chair to match if we have leftover, but that was not donated. Thanks to Some anonymous donor in Fonzie’s crew for kicking in the last $150 we needed to go Hypershift the foundations colors are green and purple.

because of my injuries and surgeries, we are also getting a custom seat cover out of neoprene (also donated)

Its a lot of donations, but every 400$ allows us to serve another family or teach another class helping Vets and TBI patients to stay in their home with loved ones for an average of 14 months longer.
Oh that awesome ! :) I've been a huge fan of Dip Your Car for many years ! Watch every new vid, and comment on most ! One of these days, I'm going to pull the trigger and do one myself. For me, I think the kick in my but I need, is to get a new car or truck. IMPO, there is no better time to do a dip, than on a brand new paintjob, so that it will be perfectly preserved and protected, from day one. Then, in 3 or 5 years, when you peel it off, you will still have a "brand new paint job" underneath which you can either enjoy, as it is, or dip it again, with something new and exciting :)

Y'all say whatever you want - I have longer hair than my wife and I'm excited af for my girl truck. Gonna hang a pair of ovaries off the back instead of the truck nutz and let the psycho truck gatekeepers stay mad <3
I was mostly just talking chit because I'm bald :) lol I used to have hair about as long as that guy..... But now, if I could just stop it from growing at all, so I didn't have to shave, I would. Just don't have time for hair anymore :) lol

I'm hoping it appeals to women/girls. My daughter (an electrician) is 5'3" and is planning to buy an F-150 next year.

I'm hoping that when my Maverick shows up she changes her mind. This would be much more practical for her work (as long as it had AWD). She sometimes has to deal with long drives to work and muddy conditions.

Muddy definitely tends to suggest AWD, or the 2x8s we used to carry to crawl out of mud holes. I think I prefer AWD ;)

And kudos to your daughter for picking a blue collar trade. If she ever gets bored of it, manufacturers like CAT have schools specifically for training to maintain their big equipment and they make even more bank.

Lol I can understand that. I just don't shave at all so it's like the exact opposite.

An army buddy of mine got into that and is one of the higher ups in CAT's maitenance training division or whatevever you call it now . Excellent work if you can get it. Downside is he had to move to my hometown in central IL. Even did some repairs for a few relatives of mine. Gotta love the midwest

I am one of the few men in my family with hair (as you can see from my avatar I still has hair) everyone else claims the baldness is for their solar powered sex machine.

Based on the forum's tracker, 1/5 of the orders are Area 51. I need to do something to my Area 51 to distinguish itself from the others, or risk looking like a fool in the parking lot as I curse Ford's poor craftsmanship when I can't get into my truck, only to then be accosted for trying to break into the real truck owner's vehicle.

I suppose a custom/unique license plate holder would be the cheapest route.

In Augusta, ga where I was running my lab/research I had a grey Honda Civic with a bike rack on the back. As did I swear half of everyone else. I just triggered my fob to flash the lights and honk the horn.

Don't know if you saw me post this.... But I think it would be totally awesome to do this for 3 BIG reasons !

My idea was to do a plasti dip of almost an exact match to Area 51.... but with some kind of color shifting Blue to Green Pearl or something of your choice....

1) it would totally protect the brand new factory paint job.

2) it would match the engine bay and door jams perfectly

3) the color shifting pearl would give it a very cool, custom touch.

My wife thinks all trucks are guy vehicles and said she will never drive it.

She also calls all the big trucks compensators.

This reminds me of the 90s era Rangers and no one I know ever made that accusation. Its just a smaller truck relative to the giants we have created in recent years.
