Very nice write-up and Cruiser--now here's the driver at Death Valley's Marble Bath:
James failed to mention that he designed the three right stickers (on the plain white 80)!
Regarding the avatar: I think i4c4lo said, "He screamed like a little :censor: !"
Doug, glad to hear that this is almost sorted out! You had quiet a team crawling on and in the Cruiser trying to sort this out--though ultimately unsuccessful it was comforting to know that there was so much knowledge out there trying to fix your Cruiser.

Mars! Good to see you out there and thanks for the quick back up on the trail!
Eric, there were rocks on the trail, I just figured you wouldn't want to go or...
Mike's wife is beyond understanding, those of us that know him haven't figured out why she puts up with him!
How fast would that be Mike? :rolleyes:
Oh Doug, everything was always better in the old days--you can still hike the middle section of Coyote Canyon!

Does anyone else here long for those quiet, civilized and thoughtful days over at the old SOR board before Sparky was born, Junk wasn't a moderator and Eric, well Eric...

Why? We've wanted a 4x4 since I sold my 1970 Bronco back in 1994.We bought a weekend house in the desert and our Passat wagon was getting beat trying to take us where we wanted to go. We're so happy that we bought a Cruiser and have hooked up...
Currently the truck is stock except for the larger tires (and that little gear I purchased from you). The plan after the lift is to add sliders, Kamar tire carrier and ARB winch bumper up front (sans winch for now).
I wish I could load it all up first but everyone is always saying "lift first!"...
I recalled reading various comments, which I have revisited on the SOR archive, about how great the setup is and that the new springs/shock ate up washboard roads, which I end up on a lot and my wife hates! I'm assuming :rolleyes: that the harshness goes away when the truck is loaded; I just...
This Monday I’m getting my lift installed. I was originally going to purchase it from Christo and install it with a friend (we did my 71 Bronco oh so many years ago) but neither of us seem to have the time due to work and his new child and I'm getting tired of waiting.
Currently the truck is...
