Builds Cruisermatt's FJ62 Build-up (16 Viewers)

After everything you went through Matt you seemed to take it in stride
Did you even have time to see the difference in 3.70 gears

Thanks man. To me it's all part of the challenge, how you can overcome obstacles and problems, and learning about how to avoid them in the future. There would be no stories if everything went flawlessly. This trip is providing me with years worth of campfire stories!

As for the 3.70 gears I drove from Santa rosa to (almost) New Mexico, about 1200 miles I think. I was going 90mph at 2300rpm
I think I am going to stick with my 4.11's, when driving normal highway speeds about 75-80 i was shifting between 4th/5th too much.

I have a ton of pictures from this trip to upload but I wanted to get the story out of the way first.

Great attitude. I learned a lot from my build as well.
Are you sticking with the NV4500

Also why was the $32 Motel 6 so bad, life endangered?

I am going to be sticking with a Nv4500 but not this one. It is going away as a core exchange and I never want to see it again. This was the last straw ending the 5 year misery saga of my bastard NV4500.

Incredible. Meanwhile the people in the 100 forum are confused about their power lumbar

From what I understand Needles is sorta like an American Yemen

As an American who's been to Yemen, I totally get it.
Tourist camp and terrorist camp are spelled the same way in Arabic.

While it's full of meth heads and criminals, it shouldn't be much concern for a Florida man. You were all good bruh

So do 80s! I have a white one I can sell you. Clean title, clean carfax. Factory lockers, OEM leather, gold package

Glad you made it home, good to finally meet you! Found a few of you in the phone

@mattressking killing it with the candid snaps bro! You really capture the human side of @cruisermatt in these.

I want to wheel with him to see the “Show Pony”, but secretly wonder if I have enough tools and parts to hang.

I honestly don't always goof around and drive it like i stole it, when I'm wheeling solo and harder stuff it's a little bit of a different story. I do like to be entertaining though
