Well after several weekends of countless hours, the Cruiser is really starting to take shape. I feel confident that I'm past the halfway mark now.

That's a pretty cool truck you got going on.

Looking good David. Are you running full width axles?
Looks like we're going to have at least 3 FJ40 rigs with 42" tires or bigger in the club.

Probably a Detroit in the rear. I'm not sure about the front. I'm somewhat holding out for good selectible options. This rig will see some street time.

Yep. Full width, for what they're worth. It's only 78" wide.

Lookin good man. How long have you been working on it now?

DavidO

I bought the tub two years ago, but it's been put on the back burner a lot while I was getting a couple of businesses started. I've really worked on it mostly in the last year. On and off a lot. Sometimes I go a month without even looking at it. I've been able to make it a little more of a priority lately, so the progress has been real steady. But my house needs painting and a couple of rentals need some work also, so I don't expect this pace to keep up much longer. I'm hoping to have it on the road by the end of January and on the trail around Spring Break. We'll see.

Yep. That's a shot in front of my lake house. I miss that Suburban. :(
I think David has some shots I took of it when I rescued it from a field.
