New Cruiser.... Been away too long... (1 Viewer)

[Buckethead]

I just picked up another cruiser and I am beyond excited...

1975 fj40
2 f, 4spd, weber 38mm, fj60 electronic ignition, new exhaust (header), running gear is immaculate thanks to Cary at Atlanta Cruisers.












Next up is 33x10.5x15 BFG MT KM2

I'll post more as the process moves along.

Nice find. It is a sickness! Wheel it like it was born to.

Absolutely a sickness... I'll put up more pics later.

Body is fantastic... New pans in the rear, done very well. I've had a good many cruisers, by far the best 40 I've owned.

New shoes

Looks great!!

Are those the 33" BFG's you wanted or are they 31's?

Great looking "new" ride.
Flip the bezel "behind the seat".

looks the right way to me...even has the OEM IH8Mud sticker still attached

 

[coinoperated40]

It is .
Next time I'll use my glasses.

33x10.5x15 km2s. Love them. That bezel will be replacing the bent one currently in use. Mud sticker and black paint have to go even though I do love the mud stickers.... Just not there.

 

[Buckethead]

Oooh... That's so pretty.

Awesome. Order up a dash box from the dashman, Mark Vickers.

Those are very cool.

Is that stock height or did you put a lift in? And did the 33x10.5x15s rub at all before the lift if applicable? I love the new look and stance. I really dig the Red. (Freeborn?)

 

[Buckethead]

I'll dig up the paint code... It is just a candy apple single stage paint that I got in trade. The rig has 2 inch lift springs and maybe another inch or so with the shackles that were already on the cruiser. They did scrub a bit before the springs, but haven't noticed a problem since.

Sharp looking rig!
