Well like most of us I started my love of cruiser as a kid I saw my first on in high school( ok not that young) it was a 83 red 40 with diamond plate and big tires, my buddy rolled down the highway and killed it…but, I know then I wanted one . So later that year my Dad and I went to look at a 78 FJ 40 that needed to be reassembled, It was a bare frame and a tub ..I loved it I spent the nexted year re-rebuilding it on found out the top doors and windshield of my bj40 was taken off to rebuild that 83 that started it all… and yes it was a Canadian bj converted to gas 2F before I got it but what a great trans



sorry for the bad pic but its all I got of her …. Then my now Ex wife made me sell her to get married and I went to the dark side and bult every J**p from 64-99 and lost alot of money and never found what I wanted till my Brother brought this cruiser home



It was all stock but this is as close to that as I have it had 2157515 on it and only 90k. My Bro drove it for a few years and I helped him get it to the stage its in in the pics, then he said he wanted to sell cause it need to much work so I SWOOPED her up and started Driven and savein fist was a ARB bull bar side bars and a 12 warn
