WOW...that's a monster...nice rig...
 
Not officially a member, but here's my Cruiser - pretty much bone stock. The pipe that was the front bumper has been replaced with a stock style bumper:

The 4Runner - not so stock:

Allen, damn glad to see you checking in! I'm anxious to hear what happened to Ft Knox on the way back from GSMTR.

And are you sure you want to just give me that 40? ;)

Well, I broke a birf and messed up my alignment a little at GSMTR, but those were no big deal. I think something in the clutch/pressure plate let go about 8 miles from home though. I'm in the process of pulling it apart. I need to fix that problem, and fix the alignment and I really wanna put in Longfields and get tires to replace the bald ones on the front before I wheel it again, so Fort Knox might be sitting for a while until I can work that stuff into the budget.

As for the 40, I think my wife would fight ya over it! She's a big fan of the Cruiser.
 
go this about a year ago as an anniverary present for my wife...i've been driving it mostly but here are som pics when i first got it and was playing around across the street from Food Lion at Walnut Creek Shopping center

Hello ONSC... My 88 FJ62 and I recently moved to Durham from the Los Angeles area. I have a baby on the way, but wouldn't mind meeting up with some TLC folks as scheduling permits. My 62 is pretty much stock and is currently my DD. I've owned it for the past 4 years. Hope to meet some of you out in the real world!

-Tom
 
Hey Tom, welcome to NC, and thanks for checking in! Your 62 looks like a beauty, and the climate here will be kind to it.

I hope you can make it out and say hi some time soon........
 
Thanks for the welcome. I'd like to make it out to an event sometime soon.
 
Be very careful of rust on that nice 62 though. If you got anyrough spots on it now they will spread fast out here.

Post some more pics of it though.
 
Funny you mention that actually...
I was washing it this weekend (hence the clean pic), and noticed that there was a decent amount of gunk in the gutter under the chrome trim. I started the "de-blinging" process, and noticed that there was some early corrosion in the base of the gutter. Now I just gotta figure out how to manage it.
 
my 79FJ40

Here's a few pics of my 79 --- basically restored frame up - too much stuff to list. Originally came from Montana via Richmond VA then to Winston-Salem where I spent about 18-24 months doing the resto work - have a bunch more pics if anyone is interested. Is there a group of folks that get together around the Triad/G'boro area on a routine basis?
Thanks, Tom

Martin's been hittin' the pipe again... He means "Triangle", not "Triad". Right Hovis? The Triad folks used to get together quite a bit, but I haven't seen much activity here from them lately. Try hitting Erymer, I think he could tell you. They used to get together in G'Boro or WS a lot, I think.

Obviously, you will be welcome to head any of our meetings/HAMOM/events, so we can drool over your BADASS 40!

Ramon
 
No, I haven't had many meetings here lately. Interest seemed to drop off, so we went to wrench-a-thons at people's houses instead. There are a LOT of trucks in winston, but they don't seem to want to be involved much. There is a meeting in Raleigh this weekend I think. I'm hoping to go. Shoot me your email, and I'll add you to the Winston list.
 
more pics

Hovis/Ramon --thanks for the info and yes, I'm talking about the G'boro/W-S area. I've been out of the cruiser 'world' for a few years - took up another bad habit....trying to get a pilot's license but that's another story. Here's a few more pics of the truck...it basically only gets out on the odd weekend or two. Last thing I made for it was the rear step and some hard half doors -- will try to post some pics of those as well.

Also I have have some 'extra parts' from the resto work that have been collecting dust in the basement...thought I'd keep a bunch of stuff just in case I got crazy and decided to work on another rig...well, that isn't likely going to happen so I'd like to find the 'leftovers' a good home in the Carolinas.

Again, thanks for the info and when you are going to have your next meeting in the Durham/Raleigh area let me know...if I can handle the gas bill to drive that far in the 40 I'll try to make over. Thanks Tom

Me likey! You plan on getting a little dirt under that frame? :)
Are you in Winston? I'm in Ardmore, and there are 4 or 5 40's right here in this small neighborhood.
 
Tom, your 40 looks amazing! You have to bring it over to the Triangle this Sunday, we're getting together at the Applebee's at Brier Creek (Highway 70 just west of I-540 on the NW side of Raleigh). I wanna see that thing............
