Nope, I wish. Todd(ChiefSlapAHo) on the boards did it. I can dig it.

My girlfriend lives there so I'm pretty set up - I'll just need help with the things she can't provide: Cruiser or general 4 wheel group, people to wheel with and a good cruiser shop.:)
Thanks!

I'm in a couple great non cruiser specific clubs,
http://marylandcreepers.com/
http://keystonekrawlers/ (PA club but quite a few MD members.

Couple of offroad parks withing a couple hour drive,
http://www.paragonap.com/
http://www.rauschcreekoffroadpark.org/home.asp

There's a good cruiser shop not too far,
http://www.upnover.com/
They give a discount to KeystoneKrawler members.

There's also supposed to be this awesome cruise rmechanic at a Toy dealer here in Bel Air, but thats hearsay, I've enver dealt with them.

That would be Rob Bahr. Lives in Parkville, and works up in Bel Air. Rob is a great guy, and has an 80, built 62, and one of the best restored FJ40s I have ever seen. Working for a Toy dealer, he has managed to accumulate some pretty rare parts for cheap over the years. Good guy to know, great mechanic.

I am north of Bawlmore in Towson/Cockeysville area.

hey scott.....is there a bushing between the frame mount and the foot of the cage in the picture below?

if not wont it put alot of stress on the body when it flexes, since the body and frame are not one at all places? also is it a fiberglass tub?


looks good

looks good No, we have no bushing YET. We are going to put something in there. I do have a glass tub and with this setup I may crack it, we shall see.

Can't believe noone bought it.

I know that if I was in the area I would check out that 4runner...looks sweet

Cage looks great too...If you had a steel body the way you mounted the cage to the frame would be fine. That is pretty much how I did it and have no problems with anything...yet:flipoff2:
With the fiberglass tub though it might start to crack.
