That metal flake with the green is AWESOME!!! I might have to do that, what color kit is the gold flake that you used again? I'm using a darker green on mine, I think that it would look pretty good.

Also, why is your rear axle/wheels further in the box? Is it because of the bags or just a box that didn't fit 100%?

The flake I had given to me a while back. I scored a whole box of random colours for free! It's a medium flake though. I didn't want to go too coarse.
You can buy small bags of it on ebay. You don't need much. I used 2 teaspoons in 600ml of paint.

The tub isn't bolted down, just sitting there so i could continue the 2tone around the back of the cab and bed.

Got some KB Rodeo stockers, with dress rings and hubcaps for it. Painted them white, and threw a coat of green flake over them.
New tyres mounted up.

Bumper on (needs a bit of adjustment), chrome grille, new parkers, and clear indicators. Blacked out the rad support also.

Also painted the taillight rims white. Wasn't feeling the silver. Looked out of place.

No, it doesn't have a notch. Thats pretty much as low as it goes in that picture. Where I'm from we can't legally notch a truck, so thats the best I can do. I will bag the front soon to bring it down a bit lower.

Finally bagged the front last week. Again, as the rear isn't notched and doesn't lay, I just bagged the front as far as the stock tubs. I'm happy with how it sits anyway.

Stripped it down, and removed a whole load of crap I don't need

I also have a step bumper on the way, and I'm trying to find a set of Chrome Pathfinder rims. Keep it OG!
