Nice looking FJ62.

How is the power with those 33s? (I'm asking because I just put an OME lift on my FJ62 today and the tires look too small)


And....you still need that 80.:grinpimp:
 
nothing wrong with DC, now that you can own a gun!

Hey Rigger,
Where is the brush guard from? Is it stock or did you have to customize it?

And DC isn't that bad with a Cruiser ya'll, nobody messes with a TLC, they are afraid that you will knock the plastic off of their Escalades and they cant follow you or they will scratch up their low-pro rims!

Love the color Rigger.

Thanks! The Eagle Alloys are 3.25" backspace. No rubbing at all.

Thanks!

I agree, if you lift a 60 series, the stockers look too small. I did not notice a big loss of power with the 33's. Some, but not too bad.

I'm still looking for a newer Cruiser to add to the barn - not sure now if it'll be an 80 or a 100.

The brush guard is a Rhino product, what some call a damage multiplier! I'd prefer an ARB, but I have to watch the budget! I got it new-used from a Mudder. It had never been installed, but it was removed from the box! I did not modify it. I just bolted it together and installed it.

I could never live in a big city any more. I like it more wide open.
 
nice truck
good to see some are still straight and one colour :doh:
 
Thanks, all, for the spotlight on my '62 and all of your compliments. My time as ROTM is fading away, but I hope to be running this rig for a long time.

:banana:

That's a gorgeous shot man. Any rig updates since '09?

Yeesh! been a while since I checked this thread!

No updates. I have been immersed in building our new house. We recently moved in and are still unpacking and putting things away. Yesterday, I took the Cruiser to the car wash and polished it up a bit. It looks good.

My rear shackle bushings are squeaking so I need to do some greasing.

My fronts are squeaking. Do mine too? ;)

Let's see a poser shot. Everyone knows those are the best!

Ask and ye shall receive, my friend! :) (That's my 4x4 van behind the Cruiser!)

Nice! Thanks for the pic :)

Get some All-Terrains on that van :hillbilly:
 
Ha! My petite :princess: hates getting in and out of that thing as it is! If I start gettin' crazy w/ the tires, she'll never wanna drive it!

The van is great! Some of the comments we get on it are fun. People always double take when we roll up in it. They're thinking: "That don't look like a normal van!"
 
Yeah it is unusual for sure. I've never seen one until you posted a picture of it. haha

We don't need 4WD down here too much. Unless you're in a Landcruiser and then you find the areas you need 4WD.
 
Epic thread bump, I know, but I wanted to stash these pics here.

:)
 
Looking good as always @Rigger !

Are those new wheels or do you have a crazy good cleaning method?
