At least Joey Chitwood uses old beaters that are replaced easily...........:flipoff2: :flipoff2:
Butch

:jeep: :nuke: :(

Did he hurt the Headache Rack?

What about some "after" shots?

Ouch! Thats going to leave a mark...

that fricken sux:eek:

I dont know if any of you have ever seen this thing, but it is show quality CLEAN! (or,...WAS):D

PISSER!

That really sucks! I think pictures of that truck has been posted a few times. If it was the one I'm thinking off it was one sweet ride.....:skull:

That is a shame, but to be honest I have less sympathy for him than I did before I saw the picture:shaking:

COME AWN! Post more pictures! I find it hard to believe that you have a during picture, but no before and after pictures....!


And what's the deal? Anything beyond repair? Was he hurt? Was he playing Dukes of Hazzard?

I hope his 45 is ok, atleast. :flipoff2:

I'm with brian on this one, where's the rest of the pics. :D

And honestly, I still feel bad that he rolled that beauty but shit happens. I felt the same way when I rolled mine the first time, she was pretty and I blew it. Repair, replace or in my case, cut it off and move on. :D

Well no wonder he rolled. He was just jumping over a Hazard County Sheriff’s car since Luke has Boss hog and Rosco tied up in the back!

BAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA;)

donuts gone wrong is my guess, if you have this full action pic on 2 wheels then where the hell are the pics of the aftermath:confused:

this is nothing more than a teaser of possible carnage:D

the arm out the window is pretty convincing though........................OH SHIT!!!! LEAN LEFT!!! LEAN LEFT!!!!

SHOW US MORE ...MORE...MORE... :D SORRY TO SEE THAT NICE 45 GO OVER BUT... i want to see it after

I wanna see it.

Give that new tubing a run for its money.

Ian-

spewin, the doughnuts will get you every time!! :flipoff2:

he should send me that old POS with its trick suspension and bad assed D60s :p

Some of you may not want to hear these comments, but

with rare pieces and sheet metal hazardous wheeling should not be done. I sold a guy in Canada a really clean (maybe my best) drivers 45 wagon front door. Within 2 weeks of install, his son crunched it on some trail and called for a second door. I had one, but he balked at the price (I had given him a deal on the first door, since he needed one and had nothing) and since have not heard from him. There are obvious replacement pieces that can be run in place of original metal. i.e, embossed bezels, drop down gates (swb/soft), hard top 45 pick up parts, late model windshield frames etc that are made easily in fiberglass. Why destroy an original?

one less real top (and who knows how much bed damage). The sh$t does not grow on trees. (Georg, you must agree if you bash a rocker into the door jamb your hosed. You must make it out of metal, wood, bondo, styrene etc)

Aussies etc have no comments here as you guys can find some (more) of this stuff with ease (but shipping it stateside jacks the price 4 fold). Imagine running a FJ25 bib on anything. You endo the truck and you have 2 choices, unfold what you had or replace with something else.

rick: i fully see your point. however, in whiteys defense i will say that he has been a cruiser head since highschool; him and his best friend did a V8 swap in one in auto-shop.
since then whitey has owned a couple of 40s, a 45 wagon and 3 pickups, this particular one was in the worst shape of all, and most people would have not "wasted" their time building it.
this truck started it's new lease on life with a $600 price tag, for which we got a frame, title and cab. no bed, no axles, no other sheet metal, no weatherstrip, no engine, do i need to go on or are you guys getting the point.
whitey has spent 4 years building this rig at great expense, and has never intended to thrash it! he normally pulls off the bed sides and tailgate when he wheels it just to avoid damaging the hard to find parts.
by the way, the tailgate was a total rust bucket, and had to have new pieces of metal grafted to it to get rid of the rust holes, even right in the middle of some of the letters. talk about time consuming work.
anyways, hindsight being what it is, he was doing donuts and NOBODY!!!!!!!! could have pulled it back down once it was on 2 wheels. if anybody could have, it would have been the owner, since he is one of the best drivers i know. still owns his hot rod 68 RS camaro he built in highschool (not a scratch on this one) and his daily driver is a 96 turbo awd porsche, with lots of excess rubber vulcanized to the insides of all 4 wheel wells for some strange reason.
anyways, we were not going to post any after pics, but if you just read my latest rant, here goes:
and it still sucks even though jeremiah proffit was kind enough to hook whitey up with the top from his bitchin 2.5 ton fj45 for a great price:

Thats a damn fact.
I have done that twice in my cruiser, and it just pops right over, and the steering gets firm, its not like you weren't already sliding and hoppin, because thats what donuts are, so there is nothing to feel for then wham on to your side. But damn its fun.
The first time i went onto my side, the other was on pavement and i rode it on 2 wheels dukes of hazard style, then it magicly set down on 4 wheels, i had a couple of witnesses and none of them could beleive it came back down, they sait i was past 45 deg. and fully flexed at like 10 mph, and i will tell you that it was not my input that set it back down.

They may be rare panels, but life is short, and donuts are fun, so in the future Peel the F*#k out so the tires don't grab, and hold on.

Ian-

who cares if its on its side, it belongs to HIM if he wants to break it...then cool

DAMN...even from underneath it looks FULL badass :D

Gee it just looks heavy to me.



But i guess thats what ya need with a full bodyed 45.

Ian-

I think your brains must all be fried...donuts are for snow...everyone should go visit Rick D and do donuts by his place, I'm sure he has some snow to spare.

Ya know what I say,....Once it got back over of four wheels,...
ITS FIXED!
now you can enjoy it! :beer: :beer: :beer: :D

:laughing: There you go. Problem solved.

Of course he could have built that bad ass cruiser and left it at home, which is apparently what some people do. :rolleyes: Sheesh, screw that. It's his rig, if he wants to wheel it, wheel it. Rare or not.

check out the fawkin newbie
:flipoff2: bkfj40 tootin' his horn!
lets see a pic of your rig and did you build it?

same goes for anyone else here: unless your rig is bad ass and you built it, i don't wanna hear your crap!!!!


ps: ian, when is your hooptie gonna see the rocks again?!:flipoff2: :D

woops, almost forgot!
rick d, you are obviously excluded from my previous statement since we all know that you are one of THE cruiser gurus and i for one definetly value your opinion!;)

I would suck as a bomber pilot over any middle eastern country. I just couldn't bring myself to ruin a perfectly good LC...even if Osamma was in it.

However...I will modify an occasional rare cruiser. It just makes them that much cooler.

By the way rick d. What do you think of my next project?, bobbing one of my FJ45 wagons for a better departure angle.

good, it's my earth and I can neutron bomb the shit out of what I want.
then I can go flip your trucks- hows that?
-rick d


people, use the replaceable first. fiberglass, aluminum, sub resto metal, and non (common) shit first. Cut taiwanese fenders not crisp 1971 OE ones (but I have the '71's, and the taiwanese ones are $xxx.) sell them dumbass.

If you going to make a trail rig out of a say 45 wagon, use a $600 rusty donor not a $6,000 daily driver w/ no rust.

...and you guys have to remember I parted out 13 (thirteen) FJ45 wagons which all were cut up in little pieces and sold, tossed out, or gave away before my move to the great white frozen tundra sheite I live in now.

rick "king sawzall" donnelly

Rick,

not to add gas to the fire... but Whitey's truck was a $600 rust bucket.

And my 45LV (www.faultlinefab.com/custom.html) was a floor-less derelict, pulled from a barn, beater... but it will see plenty of Rubicon when it's done. then again, I won't be calling for replacement doors when I ding one.

at least I'm not wheeling a rust-free, resto? right? right?

Alright, maybe it is a _little_ sacreligious to wheel a 45LV, but this thing was going to rot away anyway. at least it will breathe fresh pine-scented air, and crawl over granite.

i promise not to take it on Fordyce... for a while.

oh yeah, and Rick, thanks for the window slider: turns out, I found the missing one! Doh!

wrong.

You can wheel a 45 (or a 25, or a zebra) but be well aware that there as time goes on the search for a 45 pick up top (or roof), or tailgate, or frame or a 45 wagon door, or lift hatch, or tail gate, will become harder and harder to find as time goes by. If a bad shot to the rocker causes both passengers doors to be 'welded' in place, your going to have to find other doors down the road (and be well aware, late rear doors do not interchange with early so no putting '64 doors on a '66). But screw wagons, everything from the firewall back is unique. Flintstone trucks are ideal for wheeling- and I don't give a shit about them being taken to the hammers. Wheel your wagon, I am unemotional about it. BFD.

with a 45 removable top pick up, there are dozens of people searching for parts for trail rigs, restos, and for mall hoppers. Let the last two take the OEM metal ones that ARE NOT SWISS CHEESE. Even the little hardware to attach the top should be sold off of trail rigs and some home built (and stronger) system should be employed. If you have a 45 on 42's w/ dana 70's, whay the hell do you need a crystal clear metal roof (or even one 1/2 that good) on that truck. "but I paid $25 for it". Good, trade it to Gary Bjork for a fiberglass one that you can fall over on and mangle and then call Gozzard for another every week.

...and $600 for the bare bones essence of a 45 pick up is not a rust bucket. Doors, hoods, and all the other common metal are just that.
