Very nice 
This is my long term plan for my truck. Anything you'd change on the suspension swap?
Nice paint color, btw!

Well today is a sad day. I am forced to sell the Cruiser. We discovered mold in our basement from a small leak. Unfortunately our insurance isn't covering it. I am planning on finishing it up with a fresh paint job, rock sliders, and air conditioning.
Here is the short list:
Rust free 1985
Chevy 350 TBI crate motor 65K
700R4 less than 2000 miles on it
split case via Advance adapter
Custom front and rear bumpers
9000lb winch
FZJ80 front and rear locking axles
FZJ80 suspension
Front power and heated leather seats from 2003 land rover
Rear (middle section) leather seats from 2003 Land rover
brand new set of 5 35" Goodyear duratracs
upgraded center console (because elf the rear seats with integrated cup holders and extra cup holders I put in, it has a total 8 cup holders)
Asking price is $20,000
Located in Monument, CO
Feel free to call or text with questions

I do have a few more small things to finish up on it (other than things listed above). Price is negotiable depending on what you are willing to finish. I will add more details and take more pictures once I get it back from getting it painted.

Dude seriously, that is terrible. I feel your pain. Last winter we had the water main break and put 36,000 gallons of water in our house.
GL with the sale.

Dude don't sell it. Youll never get out of it what you have into it. Just keep it and enjoy it and find another way. Youll kick yourself for a long time if you do.

If you can build this truck you can easily abate the mold in your basement. Seriously I used to be a project manager and the company I worked for did a lot of the put back work after the abatement guys were finished. Mold abatement isn't nearly as daunting as the companies will tell you (or charge you for).
Fixing the foundation that's a whole different story if you need that.

Bummed to hear about your having to sell this. I am looking at picking up another 60 and doing this. Few questions, if you do not mind:
1. Unweighted, the front springs seemed to be bowed out towards the front. Under weight, did the spring settle and sit more vertically?
2. Which springs did you use? Stock or lifted?
3. The radius arms, are they splayed out coming from the frame to the front axle mounting?

1. They did flatten out and I moved the axle forward a little more so that helped too.
2. OME heavy 2"
3. Radius arms are the same as they would be on an 80 series. They line up pretty nicely under the frame.

Sweet! Thanks for the information

Sorry no pics lately. I was in Guatemala for a week, then a wedding then vacation, now I head to Texas wednesday until Saturday evening. It will be a while before I can get to the beast. I was able to finish up the basement for very little cost so there is a slim chance I could keep this thing. I have some other financial stuff going on so I still might need to sell it. I'll take $16K as it sits right now.
