New Member from New Hampshire...

[Landwrecker]

I currently own a 1977 FJ40 RHD New Zealand rig...all stock...bought it in 2004.

Sold my first FJ40 (78) last year after owning it since 1987...been a casual TLCA member ever since.

Having some minor cancer repaired over the winter... ('An ounce of prevention' as they say.)
Afterward she'll get a new exterior paint job.

I wanted to join so I could ask some questions about the stock colors for latches, wheels, etc.
I will be posting soon (with pics) to find out more...

For now I just want to say hi.
Ross

These were taken right after I bought it...looks the same today except for some cracked upholstery, tiny bit of rust on the door bottoms and a bit duller paint finish...both will be addressed this winter. Thinking about going back to the split rims...maybe even the original bias-ply tires too...

nice, love the colour ... nice Jeep in one of the pics ... I had an 84 CJ for 9 yrs ... it had its issues but never let me down from a drivetrain perspective ...

Catamount? Yup - went to a few. 1 or 2 of were in Western MA, right?
I'm terrible with names, but maybe we met there. I had a white '78 back then, and my BIL had a red '78 - he won a Old Man Emu suspension at one rally - Ted Brown installed it.
Tipping Rock doesn't sound familiar, but I do remember Tim Wilson - he bought his green truck off my best friend - haven't bumped into Tim in years.

I knew I bought the souvenier T-shirts for reason... Just dug out my third annual shirt from 1996... Hard to believe it was that long ago

 

[JohnnyC]

I will need to look thru my pictures and see if I can find your truck

Tim is a great guy... You probably remember Junior as well he is a green mountain boy... He floats Somewhere between Vermont and NH Lol He is @fourlow&go here on mud

 

[rain76king]

He's currently floating in Mexico!

I posted some pics of the 95' catamount cruiser challenge in my build thread here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/johnnycs-resto-3.408743/page-20#post-9539992

There are a few white 75'+ cruisers I think there... You may know a few guys trucks

 

[Landwrecker]

I recognize Tim Wilson's green ('78?)...and maybe one other (Ted Browns fully restored powder blue?)... Not sure if one of the white ones in front is mine...if I could read the plate, it would have said CRUZAH. Those sure were fun times...I haven't seen that many cruisers in one spot since...very cool. Thanks for sharing.
