Here are both of my cruisers.
One is a 73 FJ40 was a 2F and foreign 4-speed tranny with a very low low gear. As always it's a work in progress.

The other is my new 2000 100 series. It is also a work in progress.

1971 FJ40, A gift from a friend in exchange for a lift kit install
Current Progress Pics are in my Blog in Sig.

Here's the Plan:
Cummins 4bt Diesel
NV4500 Tranny
Full set of autometers
SOA & 35s
Saginaw PS
Disks all the way around (mini truck front, Chevy metric rear)
Rust removal, Paint, etc.

I got the truck in Mid September and expect the project to take 1-1.5 Years. I'm pushing for less, but we'll see.
The goal is a moderately capable driver that is decent on fuel. Always wanted a Diesel too... I've got a trailer queen buggy of a Grand Cherokee and I miss the fun of exploring with a capable, street driveable 4x4.
Here's a pic of it as of 2/7/07


Attached is a pic of it as I rolled it off the trailer
