Kinda like when I was making that face and it stayed that way? My plan was to let it dry and then flake off. Just the beginning of my protective layer so rocks flinging off the tires don't scrath my paint.

Wonder if i could paint faux dirt on my truck lol

Thanks, and don't you dare think about faux dirt. That's something some wanna-be would do and would justify immediate forfeiture of your "man card". Just do like I did. Step 1-Build it, step-2 fix it, step-3 test drive it, repeat steps 2 and 3. If you feel step-2 is not required, then step-3 wasn't done properly.

I'm glad they were too. It was about 1 minute of bliss pounding through the cornfield.
I'm getting to the point where I'll have to tear more stuff apart to "finish" it. Gotta pull the rear seat out and the wheel tubs to reseal those and get the bed liner done in the back. I need to do a little cutting and welding to get the roll bar mounted the way I want. Fix the driver side seat mounting (needs a spacer to lift it and more permanent bolting), still need to change lube in the diffs, install the electric fan, fix a few wiring glitches, hook up the stereo (low priority) replace some headlights, replace plug wires, fix gas tank fill hose, fuel gauge, and then decide which way I'm gonna go with bumpers and start working on those.
I have doubts that I will start the suspension changes this winter. And honestly, I'm in no hurry to jump into that. I'm having way too much fun driving it. Can't stand having a laid up vehicle. I have a bunch of vacation days to use up before the end of the year. I have some house projects to tackle but I know there will be several garage days in there too.
Thanks again for the support/encouragement I have received from my fellow gear heads.
