i bought my 84 60 about 6 years ago, bone stock except for the heavy duty tow package and stereo.
it also has the cool racing stripes
drove it the way it was for the first couple years while planning the SOA i was gonna do.
read tons of info on Pirate4x4 (didn't know about Mud at this point) and asked tons of questions.
talked to Jesse at High Angle about the front drive shaft. a rear mini shaft cut down was what i went with and Jesse recomended, since i was going to do a cut and turn.
collected all my parts in the meantime. on a budget it took a while to get them rounded up.
so after the SOA was done, we went to CM05, unregistered
we loaded up the 60 and set off to moab.
there, after coming down from the waterfall, i broke the rear pinion farting around on a little bump on poison spyder trail.
fortunatly, some ATVs were coming down and they went for help for us.(i had my wife,son and two dogs)
the ATV'rs ran into Robbie from Slee at the time, coming up to fix another broken cruiser that had just passed us in a group heading back down from the trail.
there was nothing we could do at this time but leave the 60 on the trail for the night.
Robbie and i joked about "renting a jeep to go fix the cruiser" the next day.
and thats just what i had to do 
Robbie was a huge help (he did'nt have to either cause we were not a registered rig with the event) but he did. Robbie is a great guy!!!
so after signing a waiver on the jeep rental saying i would not take the jeep on certian trails (poison spyder included) (fingers crossed)
Robbie suggested to the dinner to see if i could find a diff to swap out. no good,no response. this wasn't looking good.
after the dinner, i went and walked Slick Rock Campground and asked about everyone if they had a diff.
the last alley in "shanty town" i walked thru, i came across a group from "World Wide Off-Road" they had one in a complete housing and pulled out in a matter of minutes for me.
anyway, went up the next day, had a ton of help and Kurt (cruiser outfitters) was a huge help getting off a stuck brake drum.
after that i added a wrap bar

any future plans you ask
i have everything lined up to put a SBC in the 60.
once i get my 40 back on the road,we (84cruiser and i) will get the Chebby dropped in.
need also to replace the front springs and re-mount one more ford shock tower on the pass side.
a inside/out cage is definitly in the near future. tubed front fenders are in the mix also.
