Gitty UP! new ome lift

bpenn1980 · 06-07-08, 11:05 PM

Spent a great afternoon with some other local cruiser guys here in socal putting on three lift kits.

I installed a 850/863 combo and am VERY pleased so far. Its not sloping very badly at all and rides nice. I need to press the bushings in still. I notice it wandering on the freeway and its a little skittish. I need to find a place to do that on the cheap for me.

Anyway, enjoy the pics!

Its good man, I'm really liking it. If I had a lawn I would've sat in my lawn chair this afternoon with a beer and a cigar just looking at it

Wish I was with you guys so I could add my White Cruiser next to all the rest! I really love the group pic of the cruisers!

Geeze!!! If the sky had been gray in that group pic, I'd have thought it to be a B&W photo!!!

Looking Goooood!

Wow was white the only color available in Cali?

J/K that is my fav color for the 80

Is that one on the far right (of the picture) have an ARB with the hoops cut off?

4x4CPOSEADOG · 06-08-08, 02:34 PM

What the heck! All nice white cruisers in Cali. I bet your neighbors got blinded by those white cruisers

The scary part is that there is at least another 2-3 other FW80's in the SoCal 80's

Good work guys.....

It does. Thats mkfour's truck. He bought an ARB and cut off the top part. I think he's going to do some more stuff to it too before he's done.
