Ive been lurking around here for a while and recently picked up my first cruiser. Ive been a mini truck guy for a while and had an 88 that I did a SAS and tubed out on 38's. Ive also had a 46 cj2a with all toyota running gear(hence the screen name). The plans are to keep this a streetable wheeler. I am a few hours drive from some really great wheeling and and going crazy not having a rig.
first thing I need to do is pass smog with this thing. I took it to a place and failed miserably. Number 2 cylinder was not firing so I pulled the head and found a burnt exhaust valve. The head is at the machine shop now to get the valve replaced. There going to take .050 off the head to bump the comp a little.
The roor rack is off to be narrowed and shortened a bit. I plan on getting the interior taken care of and painting the outside if I am able to ge the rig to pass smog. This thing has NO rust anywhere and I bought it from the second ower. Being from the north east I am amazed how clean the body and frame on this thing are.
ill be taking my time as fund are limited but I am very excited for this ring. I payed $1000 for the truck and will prob hove another $500 in it to pass smog.
