I think someone has posted about this before, but I'm not sure. While browsing an offroad magazine site that Steve recently linked to, I came across this article:

Same wheels, flares, roof rack, prerunner bar, etc... weird.

After comparing the two in Photoshop, I think you're right. Someone went through alot of trouble to isolate the body panels and then apply a color mask. But if you'll look carefuylly at the front windshield, you'll see the same thing through the glass
Even the reflections on the wheels are the same.

Nice article, not only is it the same truck its the exact same picture jeff024 posted, and yes its photoshopped, IMHO. I think it looks better the original color.

If you look at the photo's properties you'll see that they work with several trucking magazines. They properly got the original from SuperLift or at the SEMA show.

That picture has been photoshopped to death in many colors. Just check out the original Superlift advertising pic.
and the original
Notice that it is the same truck just by looking at the very exact same placing of the inspection decals on the windshield as well the same wheels, and other stuff already mentioned.

If he's so physically disabled that he needs a handicapped parking space, how does he get into that truck?

The handicap must be from brain damage thinking about how much money he spent getting the truck to look like that.

I live in West Monroe, LA - hometown to Superlift and Skyjacker. As far as SL goes, Yes, they do photoshop trucks in their ads to change colors and wheels and such. When they released their F.I.T 6" system for the Silverado/Sierras, they used a Pewter truck that belongs to a guy I know that happens to work as a designer for SL. He pointed out to me that his truck is in some ads stock, and in other ads in Red, and even with different wheels photochopped onto it.
Although - at least they get credit and volunteered to have their trucks used in ads - Didn't Truckin' Suspension steal images of WarnOffroad's truck from the web and use them in their magazine ads without his permission?
