1978 BJ40 RHD build! southern california.

[Fast Eddy]

Its in the process of getting registered... They said they just need a bin verification... Please tell me I'm not gonna run into anything else??

You mean VIN verification.

It could just be that they need to verify that it hasn't been stolen. Hope so.

Haha yes vin... It auto corrected.

The VIN will give them, year, emissions controls, etc. to see if it's California compliant.

Paint, rims, lift, colour - it all just works man.

This is exactly what it want to have. Color and everything. I hope to be driving one that nice to school one day. I don't know if i missed it or what, but how much lift is on your cruiser? it looks to be around 2 inches but im not sure.

And dad drove it to work today on the busy 405 to get DMV paperwork completed!

It's has 4in skyjacker softride springs, man a fre u bolt flip kit and 5100 bilsteins... With crappy shackles at the moment. We may be doing cantalever shackles in the near future!

Thanks!!

All CA registration complete. Anyone need info let me know...I feel like an expert after this process.

Congrate on making it through the Republic of Kalifornia DMV. That is a sweet setup. Any difficulty driving on the opposite side of the car in traffic?

 

[Lazman]

Not really, I tend to be too far on the right side of the lane. The turn signal is on the right side of the steering column and that takes about 3-4 swinging and missing to figure it out. Get a lot of thumbs up and double takes...lol!

Finishing touches

We got the tailgate back from LineX (barn doors converted to tailgate). Thanks Chris Noah!
