since there are a lot of us in the cruiser forum i was wondering if we could have a thread where everyone who wanted to could post a pic of their rig and give some specs.

what started this is that i was looking for specs on many different peoples rigs and it takes forever and often times i can't find the info i am looking for but i know it is out there.

Ex. i just spend 30 min looking for more info on JIMMY's rig and the springs but couldn't find the thread that talks about it.

I hate to keep asking questions that i know the answerers are already out there but can't be found.

if this is a completly stupid and unfeasable idea feel free to smack me down

Actually, I've been considering adding a "readers rides" portion to ih8mud.com....might be a good way to post specs on Cruisers and such....anyone know of a good system for this? (Something relatively automated??)

Here's my crap:

'71 FJ40, 350, SM465, 3-spd t-case, Hi-Angle d-shafts, '76 disk-brake front axle w/ARB, '75 disk-brake rear axle w/lockright (still in a box on the floor). Saginaw PS, hi-steer, Griffon aluminum radiator, cut rocker panels/installed angle-iron, PT-10 powertank, still has 33's (my lotto numbers haven't come up yet), and no cage yet either.

I've spent the last 9 months fixing stupid stuff the PO did to it. I sold the seats a few months ago, so I haven't driven it in 6 months.

No recent pics, but here's one from before I tore the whole damn thing apart last summer.
