Very cool pictures! It looks COLD up there.....hope your heater works.

Coolerman · 03-19-07, 07:50 AM

Thanks for posting those. Great to see pics of others enjoying their
Cruiser while mine sits in the shop in pieces!

Whats it like over there far as wheeling? Are there restrictions or can you pretty much go where you please?

nodaksn3 · 03-19-07, 09:24 AM

Lebanon is an amazing place, you can swim in the ocean

, and later, go skiing up in the mountains on the same day.

Or, wheeling. Great shots, thanks

I didn't know that Lebanon bordered the ocean, ummm...oh that's right, the mediterranean ocean

Nice shots. All the pics we see here are of desert in the middle east. Looks like a bunch of fun and your cruiser looks great.

cruiserfreek · 03-19-07, 10:04 AM

well, as far as wheelin restrictions... ummmm there are NON. you can go anywhere until you go into someone snowy backyard and he ends up shooting at you with his hunting rifle or his wife throwing potatoes at you and cursing... just keep away from houses, kids playing with snow... you get the point... wheelin was great yesterday, especially in mud. was below zero, not as cold as other days though. just fine.

the part about shootin and potatoes and kidz was a joke. Safety is first. we go wheelin in lands where no man can go, away from civilization, it's only us and nature.

JJS · 03-19-07, 11:28 AM

Nice pics. You should invest in some fog lights.

STIFFLER · 03-19-07, 11:43 AM

Great pics.. I love seeing international pics of cruisers in far off countries. Makes me want to go there.. Keep posting those pics..

Sounds like my neighborhood. The shooting and the potato throwing is not a joke. When they run out of Potatoes they use rocks. And it not thier land. Ha Ha

Nice Rig

i have a 2F engine, and a 4 speed gearbox.
although there is a buz in my head tellin me to swap to 3F engine / 5 speed alongside changin suspension to coil springs.

wild dream (at least for me) but the thought crossed my mind, who knows...

im still researching.

cruiserfreek · 03-20-07, 04:06 AM

i can post as much pictures as i want to say thanks to rgsiii. Thanks Richard. I O U...

alvarorb · 03-20-07, 08:41 AM

Cruiserfreek,

Very nice 40. What year?
The paint job looks really nice.

Regards

Alvaro

cruiserfreek · 03-20-07, 09:28 AM

thanks alvarorb.

it's a 1983 FJ. while the paint job looks nice it has some places that i messed up in. ended up cracking. it's my first time... looking forward to the next time i strip it back down. next time i wont make the same mistakes... plus i had a lousy bondo guy that applied a little bit more than he should at some places.
I hate him now. he's dead to me. and i need to fix the fiber top and paint it white. i think it would give a nicer contrast.

cheers

Grolar · 03-20-07, 01:35 PM

Ahlan Cruiserfreek! Loved your country but wondering if you were able to wheel between those funny yellow flags, you know...

justimaginejack · 03-20-07, 06:41 PM

cruiserfreek · 07-11-07, 02:41 AM

For fog it has been my experience that the lower the lights the better the visibility.

Cool pictures. Keep em coming. All we get to see in Canada of Lebanon is the areas when there is fighting..... very sad to see.
