: Cruiser Progress....
DavidO 12-16-2002, 05:57 PM 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.

Looks :smokin:
fj40charles 12-17-2002, 07:25 AM 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.

I don't think so. I graduated three years ago. :flipoff2:

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.

4" x 4" 1/4" plates, in front of and behind the firewall. ~dso

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

Erik D_lux 12-17-2002, 06:37 PM Lookin good man. How long have you been working on it now?
DavidO 12-17-2002, 07:19 PM 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.
cruiseroutfit 12-18-2002, 01:55 AM Lookn' sweet. Feels good to have it starttaking some shape...I remember when mine was at the halfway point of being finsihed...well I guess its never finished all the way...ggod work and send some pictures when your all the way complete...:D

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.
Erik D_lux 12-18-2002, 09:15 PM I know what you mean about other priorites. I hope to get mine done soon. Hell at the rate your going I may be done before you :flipoff2:
