Okay..
Its that time o' year!
whats everyone wishing for or getting their "babies" for gifts this year?
i got my Iron Pig bumper set up. The old girl will love it, because i accessorised,
painting all the hardware black, with a SOR black tire cover. shes gonna love it.
and i weas able to hide the bill!

happy holidays to all! and remember all of those who are no longer with us, and those serving over there , and all over, keeping us safe. Hug the little ones, and have one for me!
Hammer
 
A new engine is in store for me, as well as a stereo and some speakers. Then maybe some sliders and protection. My girlfriend will find out one way or another, so I dont even hide the reciepts anymore! How do you like the shackle lift hammer? I might consider that as well. What size tires are you running?
 
I'm curious how you like the shakle lift also? I'm making some plans for another 60 and would like to save some money on OME for a while and put it toward the motor!!
 
Speakers, "I hope".

And yes, a Merry Christmas to the Cruiser community and your families.
 
i like the shakle lift. gives it a more "manley " stance.
Im running stock tires.
the only problem was that the shackles, from SOR, used a 5/8" bolt, and the shackles had only 1/2" holes. try drilling those out of 3/14" steel, without breaking your arm.
thank god i have a vertical mill.
 
any picts?
 
Santa did come a bit early for me - a second 78 FJ55 that need some serious love. I'll try to post some pics over the weekend.

Back ON topic...............I already got my Cruiser Christmas Gift:

a little Cruiser co-pilot:





*caption on t-shirt does not necessarily reflect the hi-performanceness of said Cruiser*
 
I appreciate the offer but I'm just researching right now... I don't even have the cruiser to put them on yet!!! My current 60 already has OME and like you said it doesn't need to be any HIGHER.

(off topic) Is that 5.8 ford a diesel?, I'm researching diesel swaps right now... looks like you have a hook-up being at a ford stealer!

(on topic)I got my present early too... a new set of BFG ATs 32".

If I can get around to it, I'm hoping to mount the 37's I have sitting in the garage.

Kinky! :flipoff2:
 
I hope this friday I can hold in my hands my new rear brake setup, new calipers with e-brake, brakets, rotors, pads, bolds .. bla bla bla .. :D so happy .. !

Merry Christmas !!!!!!! and happy new year .. !!!!! :grinpimp:
 
..............and after I'm done mounting them, if I'm not completely exhausted, I might INSTALL them onto my truck. Thanks Z!!!
 
I'm getting new front fenders, a new radiator crossmember, a new bumper, two new headlight assemblies and a new fender that goes below the grill. If I have any money left over, I will get a set of OME springs to compliment the new fenders.

Merry Christmas@
 
I'm getting a new (well new to me) drivetrain - replacing my 400K+ 2H/H55F with a much lower mileage 2H + ATX turbo/H55F. Can't wait for the power!!
 
New Engine

33's or 34.5s

Rear ARB locker

And sliders by me. January will be busy.

I was going to add a H55, but the wife likes the auto... and will allow me to buy the other parts too. YEAH. Domestic tranquility rocks.
