Well, its time to bring my cruiser back to life. IT IS TIME! Im 22, got the FJ40 when I was 16... To make a long story short, it broke down (rounded crankshaft tip.. among other things) and has been sitting for quite some time. Honestly I still dont have the money to restore the whole thing but Id like to get it back on the road asap. First question:
Im in need of a new frame! Yes, Im stupid enough to go the distance, and NO "Its not for sale". I wonder how many times Ive said that..
Anyway, Frames...
Are used frames logical, and where can you get them?
Aftermarket frames: Expensive? I dunno, Matkins wont freaking answer the phone..
Frame repair? Many people here feel that the damage (rust) is repairable. However I really hate the idea of messing with the frame. Way too many incorrect welders around these parts..
