Hey whats up everybody... this is my first post and I just wanted to introduce myself and my rig. My dad and I have both recently been bitten by the cruiser bug. We both have 1974 FJ40's... the main difference is that we completely tore his apart and restored it, and mine was pretty much bought in the condition it is in. Oh ya... his has a 350 turbo and mine is the original "F" engine, thats really quite a noticable difference, especially when you are driving them...lol. Anyways, I came across this forum and wish I had sooner because we could have been saved a lot of frustration in some pretty basic cruiser knowledge that is posted on here daily. Anyway, glad to be aboard. I will tell my dad to get on here too. Here are some pics of our rigs. The first two are his, and the third is mine... enjoy!

Nice Rigs! Welcome to mud. How much did you have to do to his? Looks real good. Yours looks ready to go also...
 
VERY NICE RIDES ....


WELCOME TO THE MENTAL ILLNESS ....

AND MUD .. :flipoff2:


CHEERS. .. :beer:
 
My dad's was in pretty good shape... the main thing is that there was no rust. But it took the better part of a year. All of the work we did was on the body and interior. The drivetrain remains as it was. The previous owner did a really clean swap. The turbo 350 really puts you back in the seat.. almost too much power(if theres such a thing). But it was an awesome project... its too bad that there is nothing else that really needs to be done... wrenching on it is just as fun as driving it.
 
wow the first two pics have the most beautiful red ive ever seen. that looks real clean
 
Never heard "There's nothing else to be done" when it comes to cruisers. I'm sure your all will think of something...
 
no... his has got a chevy 350 that is turbocharged... the tranny is the stock 4-speed
 
i would put up a pic... but i am new and am not allowed to put up that many pics at one time yet...lol
 
nice rig, welcome to the addiction!!!!!

Welcome and enjoy the journey!
