Western CO is beautiful country. I love those mountains in the background.
Not really western, but we're going up to Durango for a long weekend in a couple of weeks.

I grew up in the flat lands of Oklahoma. Then I moved to the 11 thousand feet in the middle of the central Rockies. Moved from there to here, now I don't know how I would live without being able to look over at the mountains daily. Durango is a beautiful area, go up to Silverton if you get a chance.

You forgot to mention the wind.... does the wind blow in Colo..?

We get about a month of hard winds in the spring, then just when storms come through. It is not like Wyoming or Kansas, where wind the wind stops, all the people fall down.

Yep same here ,, the only reason the wind blows here ,is cause Albuquerque sucks..

Working on the link deal and bumped this up for technical reasons.

Awesome build

Just got a chance to check out your thread after you helped me with the setup on mine. This is a Baaad boy. The love the way it's done. Hopefully I'll run into you on the trail somewhere.

Thanks CnC, Glad you like it. You will soon find out, they are a hoot to drive.

hey do you have pictures of the floor in your truck? I was thinking of doing aluminum since I have a few sheets laying around. Thanks

I'll look for some pictures. But it is an angle iron frame, with flat auminium dropped in and screwed down. My brakes are under the floor so I made it where it is easy to take it up.

Did you use self tapping machine screws? or how is it screwed down?

The panels that stay in are rivets, and the one that comes in and out is self tappers.

ya if you come across the pictures would you email them to [email protected]. Thanks

Will do, I have to get outside with a camera this weekend for some other pictures.

Bonehead, I just gotta mention this. I keep looking at your thread and seeing your posts around and everytime I see your truck picture I keep thinking about a picture that you posted of you and your wife sitting behind your truck, and I chuckle. Not about your wife, she's obviously beautiful. . . . It's your truck. Have you ever noticed that people tend to have a dog that looks like themselves? You built a truck that looks just like you. lol. The truck is cool, no doubt, but the headers are perfect. It looks like a mechanical version of you. I love it, nice job.

Thanks, I think.... hmmm, or may be not. Anyway, I know what you mean.

I mean it as a compliment. It's interesting to see someone do that. Match your ride. I was just wondering if that was on purpose or just an accident? Or even if anyone mentioned it before? If it helps any, they tell me to put a chrome top on mine....

Yep, it is me alright.....
