Helping a Cruiser Heads Widow (1 Viewer)

[lubedude]

Hi All, a friend on ours, who was a great guy, aluminum fabber, machinist, visionary and cruiser lover since the beginning of time was killed in a motorcycle accident this past summer. Pete Leenhouts had started to build what many thought was the best aluminum tub for 40's ever seen.

He had a monster 40 that he had built up with true Hummer running gear and technology that i'm sure he was given by aliens. He had it up and running and it was working well, but he always strived for perfection. He had pulled it all down to improve the front steering with hydraulic actuators (It also has rear steering!) when the accident happened. Jennifer was left with a shop full of parts, 4 cruisers, a tent full of aluminum extrusions, jigs etc.

Some of the cruisers have been sold, one she is having completed and keeping and the monster still is in pieces in the shop. There is still the tent full of aluminum, a fiberglass front clip from a 40 and a really sweet box for a pickup. if anyone is interested, please drop me a line and I would be happy to act as a go between for Jen. I will be posting what pictures I have up so you can see what this all looks like.

Thanks for your help

Hi guys, I guess it was my fault for not being as clear as I could, but the shop full of parts is all for the monster 40. There is very little around in the way of Toyota stuff as most of the rig has been heavily modified. Jen is having a few friends come and put it back together so it can be a completed project rig rather than a "shop full of parts",

This unit is not being parted out. I appreciate all the requests for individual bits and pieces, but that won't be happening. I also have no clue what he had put away in his storage / parts shed.

We would like to find someone interested in buying this incredibly engineered unit as a whole.

Thanks for your understanding.

Looks a lot like the gama goat suspension
