I just keep thinking back to when I was wheeling my rig stock. That was so much fun just figuring out what it would actually do. So I've also been thinkin' mabey I'll buy another cruiser, keep this one pretty stock and just drive it around town, some light wheelin' perhaps, just get back to the basics and save the hardcore rig for the hardcore runs.

Of course then I probalby wouldn't be satisfied with that and the build up process would start all over again. <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Yeah, jiMMy, Ian (COMPLAINE)was expressing the same thoughts the other day - talked about having a stock daily driver/moderate wheeler as well as a built trail rig. If any of you folks out there have a nice clean stocker that you are thinking about building up and heavily modify, I say stop and think about it first! Maybe find a trashed stocker and build it into a kick ass trail rig instead. Andy

Damn, that is purdy, Morgan! You better take some pics of your 80 while it still looks good! Something to look back on after your first trip to HH! <IMG SRC="smilies/laughing.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/laughing.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/laughing.gif" border="0">

Mine is really squirrly on the asphalt but I sure love it on the trail!

I think back to another Cruiser I had, a 1974 FJ40, that was in my family for a long long time.......I should shoot myself for ever letting it go. It had great potential to be a fully restored rig.

Someday I'll get me a street stocker, I'd sure like to have a nice clean 55.

Nice sig pic Reddog. That Jimmy is why I am going to regear and that's it for the 40. If I need anything more extreme I'll build a buggy.

The first shot shows my Cruiser right before I brought it to the US, the second one is from about a year ago, which is close to where it is now...
