Trying to source a couple of the windshield hooks like this. I’ve got the handle part. Where can a guy find the three bolt hooks?

Love the cut on the rear quarter panels!! Nice

Same here . This is a beautiful rig. How much tub stretch? I guess I should go back and re read it all.

Stretched the body 12”

I need to do this. Tailgate on the trails would be so much better. And my current split gate pops open because the pin in so worn.

Absolutely beautiful paint!

Thanks guys. I’m actually working on the tailgate project right now.

Looks amazing !

Sweet update!!!

Not much of an update but got the sides and the top partially on.

Progress on the soft top is being made! The roof and side windows are mocked into place. The complete sides and back window will be removable so that I can have a full bikini top, or the windows will roll up for a little more coverage. Manny at...

My new air compressor arrived today. The Viair finally bit the dust after 25 years. This thing is tiny.

The Radio and Alamosa Antenna are working well! I don’t know how well I did at programming but I at least got a few channels correct. We took the Cruiser up to the Middle St. Vrain trail last weekend and it did extremely well. I am super...

Thanks! You can get a dual band radio. I have one but I haven’t installed it yet. I have a Rugged Radio RDM-DB. The antenna is from Alamosa Antenna and it is tuned for UHF, which is what I plan to use to communicate with GMRS/FRS radios. I don’t...

Shakedown #2 was a success! We went to Bill Moore Lake today, which is pretty close to Spring Creek so it gave us similar terrain as a few weeks ago with better scenery. It was HOT today, which really put the Cruiser to the test. The PSC assist...

Ready for assembly

Success!!!! I will put some paint on there to sturdy it back up.

Here are a few. They moved my fill port to behind the headlight as the area around my compressor is too tight to connect the machine.

I am so excited that something went back on without having to modify it. The bike rack fits! Someone forgot to test fit that when they were making the bumper. I’m ready to drop the Cruiser off in the morning!

I’m shifting to smaller tasks that I can finish in half a day. The steering is nearly done, but I had to stop because I can’t remove the steering box to tap the ports for hydraulic assist. When I added the Alcan springs years ago, I welded the...

Goal achieved! Now it’s time for a cold shower.

It’s almost too hot to keep going but I am going to try and get the remote reservoir mounted before I faint. The ram is tacked in place and I will weld it tonight when it cools down a bit. I had to lower the tie rod a bit to make room, which...

I made a tray on the inside for my registration, sunglasses, wallet, etc., and another tray for my phone. The cup holders are meant for a boat and seem to work fine.

Looking for a good used W56 5 speed manual transmission for my son’s 1992 Toyota 4x4. I live in Knoxville,TN and could travel around 3 or 4 hours outside the area for pick up.

Wow I have been busy 😅. I have been wide open with work and event stuff. And have not been able to do a lot with the 40 but she is ready to go . I installed a new rear 3rd (went with a ARB ) and it drives on the street better now . And. I...
