The black truck looks killer with the top off. The green one strikes a nerve. I hate to see a truck lifted so high they can't run a front driveshaft anymore.

The build thread at ck5.com for the one in motornut's #2 post is this one: http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=240799

For laugh's sake in a different thread at ck5, I did a Photoshop alteration of that guy's 'burb - such a conversion theoretically ought to make it possible to drop an aftermarket pop up camper or even an orphaned Chalet shell in place of the K5 top...

I think the rear needs to be shortened. There is too much metal between the rear bumper and wheel well.

I think it would look better if the wheel wells were pushed back to center them up some.
