eBay 1987 HJ61 rollin' on 38's

Location

United States

Its back. I remember seeing this on Seattle CL 2-3 years ago. The owner describes the condition thusly: 'It is functional.'

You really have to admire the builder's commitment to chrome/general badassery:

• Louvers on the fuel filler door!
• The (enormous) body lift spacers are wrapped in (or made of?) stainless steel. Because if you're going with a 6" body lift, you may as well make sure you can see them from outer space.
• To compensate for said body lift and align the grille protector with the body, it has been cut/raised/welded to the front bumper (aligned with and mounted to frame).

Wow...Do you think he imported it from Japan like that or worked his magic on it once it was in the US?

As I recall, it was imported in this state. Interestingly, Lowrider culture is big in Japan. This cruiser seems to be an instance of the southern mud boggers in my neck of the woods being emulated in the land of the rising sun.

No matter where it was made, it's shiny chrome heart has always bled red, white and blue. 'Muricah!

Haha, I remember this truck too. Such a travesty. I bet it gets lots of looks sitting in the driveway.
