Another cruiser gets a vortec

The fan

Fan is in and the truck has been road tested. She runs down I35 at 100 mph UNCORRECTED (112 mph) So she is ready!!

At that rate I can make it home earlier than expected.......Nice!

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

[iaintscared1969]

You should make some good time. Don't forget the radar detector and I hope it has been slow at the fire house today!

 

[iaintscared1969]

I just realized what I typed....Radar detector? Not something normally associated with a land cruiser.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!

Something I never thought I would need.

 

[CruisinFJ60]

haha yea that is the truth!

 

[mmw68]

112 MPH! You might think about lowing the FJ62 a few inches and putting some racing slicks on it.

 

[b56tc]

wow.

ok. I have bought another vehicle and been off this forum for a while.
Stuck at work today, got back on the forum, and stumbled onto this.

DAMN YOU GS AND RANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been rationalizing about the classic look, sound, and 1930's speed of my beloved cruiser, while I get 12 mpg and have to plan my lane changes (as if I ever need out of the right hand lane). Why punish myself and not drive 'er more often? It's just a Vortec away......

I've got a freeborn 87 just like GS's, and now I got to get on your schedule.

Please pm me, thanks.

 

[iaintscared1969]

Everyone loves these trucks and it is a shame you can't get out of the Right hand lane and play a little bit PM sent.

And Mark that would be a waste of a great 4X4... I will get a good run with my computer hoooked up so we can get some Mph and Torque #'s up. We all know 4X4's don't need highway speed...YEA RIGHT


23:54:01 and counting....

Thanks guys! I'm leaving West Palm Beach at 2:50 Pm. Holiday delays means arrival time is a big ???

 

[iaintscared1969]

Have a safe trip and your baby will be here waiting. Running around trying to get the last details tied up. Hose shop is running behind the guy isn't in yet. So they will call me when they are ready. Give me a call when you head to the airport. OK NOW I AM NERVOUS!!
