my motivation

[2manycruisers]

Here is a little teaser pic. I had to drag it out of the bay to get the bed on it before we move this week, so I slapped a couple little 38s on it and shot some pics. I set up a Cruiser fund with all the money from the sale of the 55, 60, suburban, trailer, and soon-to-be-gone tacoma. Hopefully that will be enough to make significant progress on this thing, as long as I don't deplete it on the other 45 or 55 first.

that is inspiring David! just don't look at it from the other side. i can see the tires over there didn't get the viagra.

I took pics from that side, too, it looks pretty pitiful. I don't know if it's the long wheelbase or what that makes those 38's look so small. Wonder if that Taco rear will hold up to 40" MTRs? Even with that flat belly and 38s, the breakover probably isn't as good as my 40 with 33s.

Adding to your motivation David. Here is a teaser for those of you that have not been following Matt's LPB build thread. He usually posts daily updates on his progress. Here are before and after shots.

The complete story is documented in this thread.

Looks great David. I can't wait till the ol' lady lets me get one. Right now I can't even say 45 without getting a beat down

Yes. If you are interested in the name and paint code, I am certain he has posted it in that thread.

There is a local FJ40 that is very nicely restored and repainted the same color. He must live in the East part of town or in the East Mtns. I have seen it driving on Central twice and once at the Home Depot on Eubank at Central. I was going to leave an HDC card but I was in the Taco.
