Newbie but certainly addicted cruiser enthusiast here

[FJSteve]

Hello, fellow cruiser enthusiasts my name is Steve. I am a newbie here and let me just start off by saying I'm somewhat obsessed with cruisers! I guess it's something I caught from my father-in-law lol. He has a beat up 83' fj60 that he had at stored at his garage. My first taught of it was that it's a rust bucket until I hopped in and had to drive it one day helping him out, afterward I was hooked since then I bought my own 1988 FJ62, a 1967 FJ40 I plan to restore, a 1967 FJ40 I'm working on to sell, a 1967 FJ40 parts car and just about any and all parts I find on Craigslist and I mean tubs of them lol. I even found my father in-law a 1974 FJ40 I persuaded him to buy lol. I live in the Chicago area so can't go off-roading everyday but I definitely appreciate the sheer awesome machines cruisers are! Thanks for reading

You're sick man... you need help. Get some counseling or therapy. Until then... Welcome to Mud!

Are trucks pretty rusted out up your way? Sounds like you're having a ton of fun. Welcome!

Meh.... Cruisers are probably cheaper than therapy/counseling in the long run for us.... Note that I said FOR US, most of our significant others would probably disagree.

Welcome to MUD <--- Official MUD welcome!

Great point.... I don't care how much money you put into cruisers, they are still cheaper than a wife... less trouble too.

Cruisers are my therapy. When I'm stressed I just find something to fix or improve on one of them. During summer months I'd go fishing but I'm not much into ice fishing so until spring working on my cruisers

Thanks I definitely am. I'm still a novice when it comes to restoring these beauties but am along for the ride
