Putting in the gears and lockers and there is absolutely nothing else that I want to do to it. No full width 60s, no 350, well for right now. Now all I have to do is wheel the holy heck out of it.:p

That's a BRAVE statement, never thought I'd hear a Cruiserhead say that (except maybe drunk or in front of the wife, he, he!)!!

Seriously, I've always said that once I regear the Cruiser I'll be done with the big-ticket items, but there are literally *dozens* of little projects that will take years to finish, and that's *exactly* how I want it! :)

I do have to convince Kate (my wife) that I'm going to be done with the big ticket items so I can get approval for an FJ40 project (gulp!)! :p

Mine is in tiny pieces all over the garage in the middle of doing an SM420 swap, a spring-over, new locker, and 4 wheel disc brakes all at the same time.

You are only done with a project when it is sold or it becomes yard art. I just sold my 40 so I can keep my 45 wagon from becoming yard art. Good luck with your declaration of doneness.:D :D :D

Funny I said that about the heep... Right before I broke the rear 44.. Now its in the middle of a Spring over that was just going to be do the spring over and go.. Well that turned into 4 wheel disk brakes, High steer, Chevy outters, beadlocks, New seats, windsheild bar, tail gate, underseat tank, new shock mounts, anti wrap bar, umm new brakelines, I could go on for ever..

And of course theres a new 4x in he garage that needs some attention too.. That of course is only going to be 4 inch lift SUA.. YEA right even I know better then to say that...

Because I already have visions of sm420, d60s, ETC.

i wish mine was finished, but its just spent 7 months getting a frame off, and as i built it i did what i wanted, its still a LOOONG way from completion, and i was toying with turning the whole rear area into a fibreglass esky hehehe, with drain holes of course

mmmmmmmmm

I have disc brakes, power steering, full cage from Fat City, soon to have the ARBs front and rear and 4.88s, and running 35s. For the wheeling I do, I can say I'm done. Now when I get some more experience... Also don't forget I also have the FJ 60 and I was thinking today I could put one of the ARBs I purchased in the rear of it that way they both have a rear locker and then the 350 swap in the FJ60...:D

I've got an orange JEEP that is by every possible meaning of the word "DONE"

Nothing special about it, infact it's allmost stock, but it's "DONE"


"I JUST DRIVE IT" "DONE"
