So, I may be a Colorado TRX owner sooner than expected. Submitted my info to Lockheed last week after talking to some folks on here, and a recruiter called me today to tell me that he thinks they have a home for me at Lockheed Martin in CO...so, I guess I get to do some of those super fun engineer interviews (they are not fun at all, like a impromptu pop quiz about a subject you didnt study for) and maybe get an offer and move my family before my truck even gets delivered...which would mean I would have to come back to Texas again to get my truck, but would come with a road trip into the mountains with the purchase!

It is cool, @Futant. There are just a lot of tense folks around here who have been waiting for months (and will be for the foreseeable future) for their trucks to be built and it is better if we can be supportive and constructive. I am sure that the affected parties appreciate your apology!

Sounds exciting! Good luck on the job interview and enjoy our lovely state of Colorado while you are out here.

Haha that’s awesome. Good luck! Yeah I’ve been out of engineering so long I can’t even claim it anymore, but I remember those interviews. We called them “stump the chump” questions.

Yeah, I am sure there will be some whiteboard problems for me to figure out, but I think that the more important part of it is connecting with folks and letting them know that I am passionate about what I do. Personality goes a long way, even in technical interviews.

I have thought about this more. I think what is going on with these dealers is that some areas are seeing high demand so they mark up their trucks. My area obviously isn’t one of those. I was able to walk right in and place an order. Maybe I will have to wait longer. I’m sure that helps some feel better. ?

For those that are interested, there is a large gathering for off-road and Baja trucks in Colorado planning to hit the Walden Sandune‘s in April or early May.

If you have never been to the Walden Sandunedunes you will be in for a big surprise, great place to push the TRX and your own comfort levels.

If you’re interested let me know and as details come out I can post on this thread.

Just hoping that we all have our TRX trucks by then...

I’m very interested. Might not be moved in time for it but would like to stay informed just in case.

Sounds good, When are you planning to move to Colorado?

Our plan is to close on our new home first of May and move immediately after.

OK cool, you may be just in time. Which part of Denver are you moving to? North, south, east, west?

We live north west between Denver and Boulder

North, Windsor, CO. I hope we make it!

HiElevation · Dec 19, 2020

Let me know the details. I’d be interested.

The Baja trucks? Like trophy trucks? Either way sounds great!!

If I am not missing something then it appears that there hasn’t been a single truck built with a Colorado destination as of yet. Is this true?

Any ideas on the best way to reach the tfl guys to try to set up a chance to see their new truck after they get it home? I’d be glad to host a viewing at my Halrely- Davidson shop at I-25 and hwy 52 in Frederick if it would help. Or perhaps at Johnson auto.
