Uhhhhhhh.....How about Yellow and blue?? And red and white and gray primer lol! Gonna paint soon too. I really do like the Caterpiller yellow on my tub. Planning to do the whole thing with a white top of course

Thanks. I really enjoy it. Here are some pics of the whole thing. One was before I had it all fully assembled (but it was still clean). The other two are from its maiden voyage to Ouray, Colorado this past August.

There is no better place in the Unites States for a maiden voyage for a Land Cruiser IMHO!

Thanks for the extra pics, it's a very good looking rig. Any plans on a hard top for it?

Any plans on a hard top for it?

The hard top is in work. I ran outta discretionary income to spend on the cruiser latter part of 2010. Hope to have it all finsihed up by next winter, complete with a refurb heater....

I am working on twin stick install right now, and tweaking on a small punch list that resulted from the Ouray trip.

end of hijack, sorry.

Back to the color stuff...I almost went desert tan on the color.

Anybody like matte finishing they are putting on cars and trucks these days?

A matte yellow might look pretty cool.
