| Sweet layout Chris, but I might have one up on ya....... have you ever taken on a 50+ foot trailer with vinyl? The measurements of the V and R in Viper are just over 5' high. Try it once, I did and never again. It paid good, but 3 days worth the layout and handwork.

And to think 3 weeks later the trailer was side swiped and I had to replace about $100 worth the vinyl I made double from the original installation due to insurance.

| From an Attendee's perspective, I think that the new layout will be a better advertising bang for the buck. Last year I snapped a picture of the truck sitting next to that one at the show. I didn't notice it had a truckblog sticker on it till I got home and was browsing the pics.
So It will definitely stand out this year. Here's proof, I just caught the sticker in the pic.

| Brandon, that looks like a huge project!
And yes, this will be a much better layout for Truckblog and should attract more eyeballs for the sponsor logos as well. It will look way better on the truck since this was just done in vector (not Photoshop) so I can send it directly to my cutter. | |

| ahh the pre-SEMA bust... been a few years for me, best of luck to you. I'm still mad at Sprocket for using the bed of my truck as a trashcan, LOL. Miss that truck, we had some good times (and every year I had good stories about the *-hole hotels I stayed in and rode my bike to the show each day LOL) | |

| | Greg, I figured maybe you handed the trash to Sprocket and told him to stick it in the bed of my truck :). j/k its all in good fun, I had my bike and a ton of other crap back in there under the tonneau anyways. SEMA was always pretty good at making me feel like I had a pretty damn stock truck, but it was still a blast and an honor either way. | |

| Brian picked up the vinyl for me today and just dropped it off. It's A LOT! I have my work cut out for me, that's for sure.
Got a snap of his truck with the Diamondback cover (with ATV package) and his Raptor on top.

This truck will be transformed this weekend. | |
