A Cruiser Update

[tclndcrz]

I have not been spending much time on Ih8mud in the past six months so I figured I would do a little update on my own cruiser world.

I have owned my 88 Land Cruiser for seven years now and it is a big part of my life. People know me by my truck and I like that.

These pictures begin in February and run through late June.


Soo Montana got tons of snow this year. Bridger Bowl got 397” and Big Sky even more.
Also my friend Bowser got a rolled 80 that he parted out.

My old roommate lifted his Land Rover 90. (Glad I don’t own a rover)
And it continued to snow (Old roommates 60)

Friend Blaine pulled his rear axle to throw in an e-locker
His bobbed yota…

Our driveway at the time. Two 60s and my 62
Went to Monster Truck Rally at school gym.

It continued to snow well into April here so I went snowboarding some more.
Went home to South Carolina and checked out the new addition to the family.

Moved in with Bowser and started brewing beer.
Had a birthday and roomies made me a cake with a 40 pulling a rover out of the water

It snowed again for the last time in the valley on June 12th. My 62 and Bowser’s badass 80 pictured.
Bowser drove a 40 down from Billings to fix up and play with

It’s a 71 and is in great shape.
Nothing like the 1F

So now it has finally stopped snowing and Montana is the greenest I have ever seen it.
We cut down a few trees in the canyon for winter firewood (Note 80 pulling trailer and teq shirt)

So as far as what I’ve been doing with my cruiser… I finally washed it, waxed it, cleaned the interior, put some sor mud mats in the front, put a sun visor in to protect the dash, replaced some door panel clips, replaced rear disk brake pads, and ordered a few things. I have an fm antenna coming, a Toyota factory manual, exhaust bracket, fusible link, and task led dome light.

I haven’t really taken her offroad since moab last year. I have been pretty broke since then until last month and now im finally getting to fix some small stuff that’s been bugging me. The durabak is holding up great since I put it on last June. It cleans up really well and really adds a great layer of protection especially when your truck gets dirty a lot. The parabolic front springs I added last year are still riding really well and still flex great when the opportunity comes up.

Parabolics, eh? Which company did you buy them from and what weight rating are they ( medium / heavy )?

 

[tclndcrz]

I bought them from man-a-fre a year ago when they first had them for sale. I got the heavier duty ones (TIC). https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/167328-so-how-many-here-have-actually-gone-parabolic.html

Good stuff. I miss the West so much. Thanks for the advice (a while ago via email) on durabak. Did mine, looks awesome! https://forum.ih8mud.com/paint-body/229466-unofficial-durabak-thread.html

Snow in June!!!!! I am not leaving So.Cal! That is way too much cold for anyone. Cool pics. The first sunny days you have to spend getting ready for the cold by cutting down trees for firewood. WOW, is all I gotta say.

I was in Bozeman most of the month in june.. I loved the snow, boy I loved the snow. I was on leave and hanging out with inlaws. I did not want to leave Bozeman at all. Wish I had my 60 there to go up in the woods. We went to go and see the falls above hylite resevior but the the road was washed out. Cant wait to go back on leave again. Yes It was very green for that time of the year..Snow in June..that was the greatest part.
