Hey guys,
Just wanted to announce the new addition of my GREEN '94 fzj crusier!!! Just finished off buffing, waxing and making it PRETTY!!! Can't wait to show off my new baby. Both Steve and Curtis have seen it and are pretty jazzed and excited for me and my new addition!!

Will attempt to get some pictures on the web soon. First off to Tillamook woods for Flat broke and four wheeling this weekend. Maybe I can win another winch and if I do, I'll donate it to our McGrew trail!!!

Congrats... it looks like Sue is turning into the hardcore-traveling-attend a lot of events-cruiserhead!

TTIWWP's...

Lockers?

Kief · 10-20-09, 09:43 PM

So if you win a winch you are going to donate the new CRUISER to the raffle?

skfj80 · 10-20-09, 10:05 PM

Kief,
You my man are SO funny!!! Guess again. No I will not be donating my new cruiser, which by the way has a 9,000lb winch vs the 8,000 lb winch I won at the cruisin the wood event!! Wish me luck on winning another winch for OUR event!!!!! Yes, as soon as I can post and figure out how to post my picture of my "new" rig, will do. Has so much plus more that I wanted. Need to read up on the navigating system and get licensed for the ham radio installed in the rig. Has ARB front and rear lockers, roof rack, which I will probably pull off and sell, too much that I don't even know what all I have. Bought it from an ARB rep, so he has installed ALL the ARB stuff one can possibley put in a rig. Am thrilled to have such an awesome rig!!!

Congrats sue. Must see pics.

TOY350 · 10-20-09, 11:05 PM

Put me first in line on your ARB roof rack then, I just sold my small one and am currently researching a new one!

CJF · 10-21-09, 08:26 AM

I tried to get pic's when she brought it by my house, but the battery in my camera was dead.

That thing is a BEAST!

retrofive · 10-21-09, 02:17 PM

Does it have a giant ARB sticker and lights up top?

I saw one headed to towards ashland few days ago now that I think about it.

It has LOTS of lights.

I don't even recall if there were any up on the rack (I bet there were), but they're all over, above, in and around the bumper/bull bar. Big ol' expensive lookin "LightForce" jobbers.

retrofive · 10-21-09, 06:23 PM

Yep thats what I saw. Tried to grab my phone for a shot of it to ask who's might that be but was to slow.

Nice truck

Kief · 10-21-09, 06:36 PM

Well, if you sell any bumpers I might be interested. The diff lockers are a keeper IMOP. Sounds sweet!

Russ in California · 10-22-09, 04:46 PM

Way to go Sue. Welcome to the 4.5 club.
What made you change your mind about the 'mighty 3FE'? Better color the white IMHO but color is only surface deep.
Sounds like you picked up a rig that will make some jeleous. Like me...

skfj80 · 10-23-09, 11:12 AM

it's all in the SIZE!!! It's got a BIGGER engine and more toys and then some!!!! I'm still in shock that I did what I did, but I LOVE it. I had been looking all over, Colorado, Idaho, Calif, Oregon, and Washington when I finally found my rig. Thought about it for a long time weighing the pros and cons to building up my '92 vs one already built w/ a bigger engine. So guess who won? Will be selling my '92 and 8,000 lb winch. Curtis is thinking strongly of buying my '92 and I have a few people interested in my roof rack. Will be taking my rig out to tillamook tomorrow to see how it does for MY/OUR maiden voyage!!!

CONGRATS Sue!!!!!!!!!

Cant wait to see the pic's!!! And when you get back from the weekend event put up a little more info about that winch.. Please

I will let you guys begin pointing out all of the cool stuff this rig has, I won't spoil the fun. Ooops now how did this extra pic get attached on here???

Ebag333 · 10-24-09, 01:20 AM

If that were my rig, first thing to go would be most of those lights.

Hard enough to see over the hood as it is, and the lights in front of the grill won't help with air flow at all.

Looks of neat little goodies on that truck though, can't wait to see it in person!

knoll0351 · 10-24-09, 11:03 AM

That is sick! I'd keep all of the lights and do some baja, or at least wheel the heck out of it at night

tblume · 10-24-09, 11:10 AM

ye gods Sue, that thing is suh-wheet!

RredFJ40 · 10-24-09, 11:11 AM

Holy rally rig! Is that a subaru under all those lights? Perfect for night games at the local high school.

CJF · 10-24-09, 11:33 AM

She told me the lights stay at least thru Surf-n-turf. Should be pretty impressive/effective out there in the dunes.

skfj80 · 10-25-09, 11:09 PM

rig did great on the tillamook muddy trails. Interesting off roading in the mud vs dirt. Got lots of interesting comments on my lights. Everything went well, except the sliders are made of not too sturdy tubing, must have been mostly "decorative" items, mostly for standing on the "running board" to shot footage/pics. SO, will be looking at adding stronger sliders in the near future. Otherwise rig did awesome, and boy does she ride smooth on the freeway!

TOY350 · 10-25-09, 11:27 PM

Your rear locker was engaged when you left my house and I don't think you had it switched on. Something to check when you can. Glad the run went well.

Ebag333 · 10-25-09, 11:30 PM

Hey Sue, it's time to take it to the next level:

More

skfj80 · 10-27-09, 10:21 PM

Travis,
Weren't you the one who said I should get rid of the top row of my lights? Now you want me to go WAY overboard? No way!! At times, I'm excited about all my lights and otherwise, after surf n'turf, They need to come off!! They are a hinderence off roading, but it was diffentially an eye catcher for those who saw me w/ my '92 white cruiser and now my '94 cruiser.

knoll0351 · 10-28-09, 12:56 AM

No it wasn't Travis that said anything, I like the lights and if I could afford some my FJC would look much more like your new monster. That was Gabe EBAG...Gabe backwards... Not Travis Knoll0351.
