OK, so I hosed my user name, left the r off, should be CruiseControl...I'm old! Just got myself a 1990 a new family member, she started out life red, went to green, now she has a very bad white paint job. No rust, leaky oil pan, i hope, don't want to mess with a rear main, dealing with the pan is bad enough according to you all. Glad I happened on to this site, life saver, you all are too cool, great info, already got my tune-up parts and gasket ordered through Cruiser Dan, thanks Dan for your help. Well here's a couple pics, she's stock and will most likely be that way till I get her all her maintenance caught up. Mainly want to introduce my two granddaughters to 4wheelin and real camping, that's how I brought my daughter up and that's some of her best memories. I think I spent $3500 well.
Hope I posted correctly, wanted to post and all I could see was new thread.

the 62 will stay white for awhile, wish they had done a better job, money can be spent on better things than paint, OME lift, wheels with 33's, lockers, roof rack, bumpers with lights...bought a sportz tent, one that connects to the 62, wife doesn't want to sleet on the ground, set it up in the driveway yesterday pretty easy and has a lot of room. I would like to get a functional roof rack that's reasonably priced, any suggestions would be appreciated. Also I'm looking at new rubber, the cracks in the tires worry me, looking at BFG AT's, what's the largest I can go on stock rims without a lift?
. Eventually after $499,000 (or something like that) and a v8 swap I will go bigger. Until then the 31's work with the stock 62 drivetrain. HTH.
