Sneak Peak...

[PWCO70crusier]

I finally have most of the Cruiser to the paint shop (still working on the main body but everything else is there). Got a few pieces back and couldn't be happier! Take a look...

 

[Fitzgerald]

SWEET!

 

[EricG]

Nice!

 

[CO_Hunter]

Looking nice! Get it done

 

[RLMS]

looks great...love the color

Really nice Kyle, Will you put the Old Glass back in or new Glass?

 

[PWCO70crusier]

For the most part I'll reuse the glass...most is in great shape and came out easy. The seals don't look too hard to replace (great thread on MUD about it). I'll probably replace the windshield...its in bad scratched up shape...you can't see through it w/ sun or precipitation very well. Also, the door windows are pretty rough so I'll see about getting them replaced as well.

I have the undercoat on...next up bedline the floor...should be to the paint shop next week! I may need some help when it gets back from the paint shop setting it on the frame and getting it mounted. Progress albeit slow...

Lookin' good man!

Can't wait to see it completed.

 

[CO_Hunter]

Looking good Kyle, keep the pressure on and get her done.

 

[black95]

Sure is going to be pretty. Do you plan on getting this 40 off pavement at all?

 

[PWCO70crusier]

Luke...I say yes now...but we'll see when its done!

 

[Fitzgerald]

Kyle, what locker did you go with in back?

Guessing you didn't get the stuff back from the paint shop this weekend?

Thanks.

Yeah still waiting on the paint shop...probably won't be until after Thanksgiving...they got a bad batch of primer and had to start over.

I put a Powertrax Lockrite Locker in. Easy to install and had pretty good reviews. I ordered from Rocky Road which had the best prices of everywhere. They have a lot of info on the locker on their webpage.

Probably better that they're taking their time and doing it right.

Cool. Thanks for the info.

Rocky Road are good people. A long time ago, back when I was into Suzuki Samurai's, I spent a lot of money with them. I've had really good luck with lock-rites too, had those in the 4runner.

 

[PWCO70crusier]

If anybody is around and not on the Christmas tree run and wants to help me out, the Cruiser will be back from the paint shop about 2:30 pm and I could use a hand or two to help lift it off the trailer and onto the frame. If you can help, let me know and I'll get you directions. Thanks in advance!

 

[Fitzgerald]

Any luck with the 40 today?

I'm going out again tomorrow, but if you need some help next week, let me know!

 

[PWCO70crusier]

No luck today...I tried calling the paint shop before heading over there and he never answered...so instead of inconveniencing multiple people I canceled. I'm still waiting to see what the schedule is for the guy who has the trailer for this week. I'll keep you posted...

 

[PWCO70crusier]

OK...so going to try this again on Thursday 4:30-5pm or so. I could use some hands to help lift the body off the trailer and onto the frame...put in the body mounts and re-install the roll bar. I have everything ready to go, so hopefully it won't take too long. The weather will be MUCH nicer as well...
