1st Cruiser need help

[Trail Cruiser]

I recently bought my first cruiser a 72 made in Nov. when purchaesd told it ran but got to Ala. and the engine was locked up. I got it home and got the engine running pretty good and would now like to make a great trail rig for the Florida swamps. I do not have alot of experience with the Land Cruiser and any help would be apprecitated.


Thanks Jack

Congrats on the truck.


One-ton drivetrain, and a big block...


Your going to need this to run big tires in the swamp..


Good luck!

I have no idea where that is so I'm guessing it's not close. I'm about 40 min. south of Jacksonville. There are a few cruiserheads in town if you're ever in the area you should stop by.

you might post in chit chat to meet up with some of the florida guys...you'll find cruiserheads are very helpful. you've got a stout vehicle that will be great to build. what are your plans?

 

[nuclearlemon]

oh, yeah, and welcome from me too.

To be able to keep up with the hunting party and enjoy a nice weekend of trail blazing and get back home in one piece. First a lift kit and then a winch possibly lockers and gears.

BREATHERS off everything! t-case, tranny, and diffs. Snorkel's a good idea too esp. if you like hurricane wheelin'

You're maybe 3 - 3 1/2 hrs. from us I hink. Ocala Nat'l Forest has some sweet trails about an hour west of me. A few of the Fla . crew make runs out there every once in a while.
