wngrog 04-20-2002, 04:49 PM I just finished Kate's new look. I am now debating on whether or not to use the TJ flares I have. Otherwise, the new fenders, paint and steel diamond plate rear corners are ready to get scratched up in Moab! wngrog 04-20-2002, 04:51 PM I added 1" longer rear shackles and it seems to do a little better on the droop. Check out the cool stock emblems on the rear 1/4 wngrog 04-20-2002, 04:54 PM Last one..... peterfj40 04-20-2002, 05:01 PM i like, cant wait to see the moab pics :cool: wngrog 04-20-2002, 05:36 PM You must have run in a "ringer". There is no way that is the Kate I saw last week! :) Great job Hon. Mom reorx 04-20-2002, 05:48 PM :D You're mom's posting on PBB? Wow! Looks great Nolen... I'm just now starting to get Moab Newbie Fever... COMPLAINE 04-20-2002, 06:04 PM Nolen - is that rattle can or spray booth? Looks ready for some Moab rock rash and Utah red dirt! FeCamel 04-20-2002, 06:57 PM What's with the CCOT add on the side? Are you getting a kick-down? :flipoff2: MD11Fr8Dog 04-20-2002, 07:08 PM Originally posted by FeCamel What's with the CCOT add on the side?

How did they turn out? 60seriesguy 04-20-2002, 07:11 PM Nolen, that looks AWESOME, kudos to a great looking Cruiser!! You've confirmed by already strong belief that a hardcore wheeling Land Cruiser doesn't have to look like a flaming POS... Here's to Kate and your trip to Moab!:beer: wngrog 04-20-2002, 07:24 PM Originally posted by MD11Fr8Dog Nolen's got his first sponsor!! :D Nolen, looking great, what about the doors though? How did they turn out? The doors look great too, but I will only use them when it is cold. That is hilarious that my Mom posted that! I guess I am still logged on on her home computer! Classic! I'm leaving that up!!:eek: :eek: :D :D :D wngrog 04-20-2002, 07:25 PM Originally posted by 60seriesguy Nolen, that looks AWESOME, kudos to a great looking Cruiser!!

Better be careful!! :eek: ;) elf_cruiser 04-20-2002, 08:10 PM Looks bad ass, nolen. So does the v-8 go in before/after moab??? TxCruzr 04-20-2002, 08:14 PM Looks awsome Nolen...don't scratch the pretty paint now...and you said mine looked to nice :flipoff2: Make sure you take lots of pics in Moab...unlike TheLakeRat. I only found one of his when he went, and he didn't even post the whole picture...:flipoff2: Joseph A. Cruiser Ken 04-20-2002, 09:26 PM Nolen, how thick are the rear quarters, 1/8"? Who made them? Looks great. 2car 04-20-2002, 11:20 PM Originally posted by wngrog So Henry, which Cruiser would you liked to be picked up at the airport in? Wilbur or Kate? What a choice! I wish someone would offer me an ultimatum like that!:smokin: wngrog 04-21-2002, 06:25 AM Originally posted by Cruiser Ken Nolen, how thick are the rear quarters, 1/8"? Who made them? Looks great. Stephen at CCOT had them made. That is part of the coolcruisers.com thing :D I asked him if he wanted to make any more full size like that and he said definately not. Way too much labor. He does make 3/16" 1/4 panels and they are around $350 for the set :eek: They are totally bad ass though, I could take a sledge hammer and beat the side of my Cruiser now and not bend it. Each corner weighed in at 45lbs. FJ4ZROX 04-21-2002, 10:14 AM How much hammering was required to get the steel 1/4 panels to fit? What did you use to fasten them? I'm almost ready to pull my aluminum "5-bar" rear corners for my re-paint job and was thinking of CCOT's steel corners. Inquiring minds want to know..... wngrog 04-21-2002, 11:10 AM Originally posted by FJ4ZROX How much hammering was required to get the steel 1/4 panels to fit? What did you use to fasten them? I'm almost ready to pull my aluminum "5-bar" rear corners for my re-paint job and was thinking of CCOT's steel corners. Inquiring minds want to know..... They fit perfectly! Cutting the excess off for my large wheelwells was a chore though. If you have a pal with Plasma it helps! As for fasteners, I went with a lot of rivets and it is stout! Jason M 04-21-2002, 01:45 PM Ahh soon to hear the sound of fresh paint being removed by aztec sandstone :D It looks really good nolen. Now to make it look used instead of a poser street rig :flipoff2: See you sat... ehsankiani 04-21-2002, 02:27 PM Cool Cruiser Nolen.. Hope you have fun in Moab.. wngrog 04-21-2002, 02:28 PM Originally posted by Jason M See you sat... You at the Slickrock campground? Who do you have riding with you? My passenger for Sun-Wed is going fly fishing so I have a seat open.... BJ On Roids 04-21-2002, 03:50 PM can't wait to see the pics of this weekend wheeling trip!! :smokin: :eek: :D 2 well constructed 40's battling it out!! Mr McGee 04-21-2002, 04:47 PM hey--is it me or does that bezel look *chrome*??? *BLING*BLING*!! :D ;) :D Jason M 04-21-2002, 05:02 PM Originally posted by wngrog You at the Slickrock campground? Who do you have riding with you? My passenger for Sun-Wed is going fly fishing so I have a seat open.... Ann is not recovered fully yet so I am flying solo the entire time. So if anyone is out there that wants to go for a ride I need a good spotter ;) I have similar problems as your friend. I can't seem to go anywhere without my fly rod. And there is always somewhere to get a line wet... Plus I am STILL battling with getting the propane running right. It just does not want to idle for crap. Although it is funny. I do not seem to be loosing much power to the propane :D I am going to go on a dedicated search tomorrow to find someone that can adjust propane carbs that is worth a shit here in vegas. wngrog 04-21-2002, 07:27 PM Originally posted by Mr McGee hey--is it me or does that bezel look *chrome*??? *BLING*BLING*!! :D ;) :D Watch it!!! N o Chrome on Kate....well except the solid valve stems and the Con Fer grab bar (didn't have black :( ) That, my friend, is aluminum rattle can...been like that since I purchased her 7 years ago! "Vintage" shot (for proof) :flipoff2: MD11Fr8Dog 04-21-2002, 07:57 PM Originally posted by Jason M Ann is not recovered fully yet so I am flying solo the entire time.

And there is always somewhere to get a line wet... I'll be out solo, without a rig Wed afternoon through Sat morning (5/1-4). I'm riding with Eric V. on Fri, but I'm looking for a seat on Thur!!:D :D I'll be bringing my fly rod in case I can't find a ride!:( goldenarrow 04-21-2002, 08:45 PM hey i notesed on your vintage photo that their were already some diamond plate cornner pannels on kate. What did you do with them? if you want to sell them i might be intersted:jeep3: wngrog 04-22-2002, 03:32 AM Originally posted by goldenarrow hey i notesed on your vintage photo that their were already some diamond plate cornner pannels on kate. What did you do with them? if you want to sell them i might be intersted:jeep3: Another vintage shot....if I still had them, there was not much left of them! I had careved them up pretty badly.

I say slap the TJ flares on if you already have them. I have TJ flares on the rear of mine and love em. wngrog 04-22-2002, 08:55 AM I went ahead and installed the TJ flares...they look great! HANGTOWNCRUZR 04-22-2002, 09:34 AM That is one of the nicest rigs I have seen! perfect set-up for the rocks. Are you going to make it to Rubithon this year? Eskimo 04-22-2002, 10:21 AM Nolan, what kind of front bumper is on your FJ? Mine came with the same one, and I'm wondering...it's stout as hell... wngrog 04-22-2002, 11:26 AM Originally posted by Eskimo Nolan, what kind of front bumper is on your FJ? Mine came with the same one, and I'm wondering...it's stout as hell... Con Fer.....discontinued :( Very stout! Shortened (of course)....3" tube used to drag on everything messing up my approach angle...the 42's fixed that ;) Hogie71 04-22-2002, 05:31 PM DAMN Nolen, your rig is off the hook. for real. have fun in moab bro.:D :D | |
