Hard to find now days, a couple resto projects! One has 2 and a half studs, other needs studs, someone needs to restore these!! $30 and $45 for the better one! Plus $10 shipping!

We have been working on getting some more t shirts designs done, and continuing to add more just trying to cover all the early stuff that I can’t find. 25,45 45lv and pigs. Few 60 things but trying to stick to early cruisers. Will continue to add...

The day has come and finally the color and one cost of clear is on the tub. Ron will sand in between clear coats for the desired finish. The color is a 2018 tacoma desert sand color not sure of the official name

Went to Big Bear on a club outing, weekend before last, I have not wheeled up there in 17 years. The trails have changed quite a bit and it was nice to be out of the city and in the trees. The 40 performed great, but that big ass factory boat...

Huge Thank You to KT40 for getting me the last missing piece I needed!! The wing window hinge👍👍 ( need to get nice stainless screws to finish it off)

Thankfully this has sold. I can now get back to my life.

I would assume yes, since he reproduces the short bed tail lights too. Basically for the hooks, have the extrusion made and just buck it up into the preferred length piece. Right?

You have more than one?

@andybudge I’ll happily step in and help you out. Get Mark to send it to me and then I’ll send it to you. PM incoming. You’ve stepped up for those of us who have early trucks and reproduced rare and hard to find parts.

Sale pending

So, more progress pics of the driver side rocker metal work, some rust repair, hole in cowl, and mock up of the front clip. Spent some time on the driver fender well. Got some adjusting to do on the clip but seems to line up pretty well. Its...

All the og crew still looking for early cruiser gold!! 🤙

Another busy day getting undone from vacation and prepping Berkley for her move to Minnesota Took her car for service then I cleaned it up good and gave it a heavy dose of Fluid Film for its upcoming life in the tundra After that they made...

Thats because only a handful of us know what it is!!🤪

I’ll play the nostalgia game. My son was 6 in this pic now 27. Sorry to hijack your thread, maybe we should start a thread like you suggested.

The best plate/cruiser combo to date! I think we need to start a kids and cruisers thread.

So greatful for an iphone over the years, literally have my kids growing up! My son still reminds me we should have never sold the bj45 troopy!!!

Love this. It is making me want to dig up more photos of my kids in the cruisers over the years. Just amazing, thank you for sharing these photos Whitey, I know we share a lot of things in common.

I let my son drive my 45 when he was 9! First truck he ever drove! He learned what a clutch was early on a motorcycle, so he had no problem! Now he is 18! And been driving my 45 on the rubicon the last few years!! Brand loyalty firmly seated in...

Relying on Ruffstuff's pre-cut brackets to eliminate having to do a C&T is the wrong approach. They have no idea what your setup will be and there are too many variables. Just mock it all up and figure out what needs to be done. You want your...

Have done half a dozen springovers over the years, never cut and turned any axles,never had any drivability issues!
