Should I ask about the jumps??? Yea I got it off the guy from Craigslist. I had a 68 Brocno that needed some work. I have built several old Broncos and it was time for a change. We ended up trading each other. So far the rig seems ok. Just minor stuff. New to Cruisers so I am learning as I go. I took her on a long drive last weekend to the snow. It drove nice and handled all the snow I through at it.l

It's a reference to Napoleon Dynamite

 

[JBBenson]

Thanks seems nice its set up well and I hope to have a locker in it in the next month or so. I spend week days here in the Bay and weekends in Arnold, Ca. It will see some wheeling. I hope to get her on the trail after all this snow stops.

I saw that on craigslist, looked like a great truck. Definitely a lot of effort went into it.

What'd you end up paying for it? bronco plus cash? even trade?

Tade. The guy was pretty cool and wanted to get into the Bronco. It has a few issues nothing big. I was looking for something wheelable and that I could haul the family in. We have been like sardines in the Jeep. My DD is a Rover and was at one time considering makeing that a wheeler. I have a softspot for older rigs and like Cruisers. When I saw his add I figured what the hell and asked him. And long story short I am now a cruiser owner.

Congrats, Paul, Prosit!

She aint no swb Bronco or 40, but I do hope you get many years of wheeling outta her.

Is the 60 pretty much stock?

So... Cruiser or Bronco ?

Mtnmn99, I also was a first generation (1969) Bronco owner in my previous life. While I really did enjoy that truck, I decided that I was a Land Cruiser guy the first time I heard a carb fan run on a 60. I realized how well engineered they are, and sold the Bronco, got a 60, and never looked back.

Nice 60 you got there, by the way.

That's a nice looking rig you got there boss.
If you head up into the sierra area, or have anything going on down by you, lemme know. Id love to hook up and roll with ya...There are others talking about getting a run going around NorCal/ Sierras.
Congrats.
