Newb here, check in and 1st dumb question

JML403 · 06-30-08, 08:57 PM

Hey guys, just picked up a 97 cruiser last week and figured I would drop in. I've wanted one forever and finally have been able to pick up another toy. 100k miles, greyish, no lockers but it drives... All maintenance records and what not. I wish I could say its going to be decked out soon but for now it will get new tires, just 285's and hopefully an ARB front and winch in a couple months. I have a question though, the rear deflector or rust magnet, is missing but there is still the stupid ass mount blocks on there. I know the part is discontinued and I know if i take the mounts off the holes will have to be filled and f'd with. Does anyone know where I can get one, maybe one of you have one floating around... (and i took the sunroof thingy off 5 mins after the picture)
Thanks guys

Thanks for the greetings! I cant wait to throw some decent tires on it and get it dirty, and have it turn into a money pit...

Yeah i think so Aussie cruiser. Too bad you guys have all the best parts down under and the americans get stuck with crap, and all the petrol cars.

PACNW96 · 07-01-08, 09:17 AM

Welcome to Mud. Your car is my twin....

FWIW the color of your 80 is Moonglow pearl.

If you really, really have to put something on the blocks, it may be easier to go to Home Depot (or equivalent), and buy some plexiglass. cut to shape, and screw in. Should be able to get tinted plex as well.

The PO of my 4Runner put some small reflectors on the blocks. Never really bothered me much on the Runnr.
