I was thinking the same thing. I work in Boulder and live nearby.

Sweet build so far too

hey Guys,

I am a CU buffs fan but, not from Colorado. Was there as a kid and liked the state and the team. Colorado the state is really underrated! the team is crappy now, but i think they are heading in the right direction with the coach and some of the new recruits. Last year their record wasn't great but, they were in a lot of games.

Hopefully this year will be better. I use the handle colorado buff as no one else does. I would love to get back there and see a game in boulder!

also to the poster asking about the frame. It was reinforced with thicker steel. I took one shot of the frame weld. Also one shot of the surface rust. As they clean it up I will take more shots. I want to get this vehicle back to the state it deserves to be in. I loved my previous 98 runner, but I think this 2000 will be better. I mean who doesn't like cup holders lol

My first thought was why? lol. They do suck! I can say that since I paid them way too much money for a piece of paper I got back in 2011.

Back on topic, awesome job with the build!

I was going to ask why a Colorado truck was that rusty... until I read the whole thing. It's coming along nicely, and the paint color is just awesome.

Yeah universities need to do a better job providing the right skills at employers are looking for.

Thanks guys, should be good when finished. I figured to go a little less standard on the colour.

Was gonna say, I would love to see a good quality picture of that paint color in the sun. It looks pretty awesome.

Did you paint yourself?

 

[Colorado buff]

Will post more. Got it painted by professionals. They added a crystal effect to the paint so it has a nice shine in the sun.

I am definitely not handy, unlike the many experts on this forum that have done amazing work.
