I know I want to become familiar with an 80, I just don't need all the bells and whistles, parts are parts and I don't mind parting some stuff out. It just need to snowball some funds towards another one too. I like building stuff, fixing stuff, driving Toyotas, and I never want to work on Jeeps or drive one (did it once and broke it). I'm open to trades, but I don't need a professionally built Cruiser, cause as said before where's the fun in that. Soul searching over.:D


also fishing for water buffalo and long walks in the dunes.:grinpimp:
 
Thats the problem with having options...so many choices!














Or, do like Phil did and have one of each model :grinpimp:

BTDT when I was young like mountain cruiser

The early stages of the straight axle mini after the off duty Tempe Cop hit me head-on going the back way to Crown King:frown:

Before that it was the Chev picture here running 36's in 1978:flipoff2:

I wasn't referring to some long gone dusty, 35mm, past, when they were new. The mojo comes from wheeling one now when they are classics.:hillbilly:
 
Phil that topper totally rules. When you slept in the back of it, did the condensed breath drip onto your sleeping bag? That was my only compaint with the aluminum toppers....no headliner.

The mini was insulated and the Chevy was a Winnebago that did not use a frame, it was a sandwich panel design clearly ahead of its time.

Way cool...that was state of the art! When I was 22, I could still fit through the slider between my topper and truck cab. Not the case anymore!

Do you have any pics of the inside?
 
My first taste of 4Wheeling was my Dads 1976 350 4WD Blazer 3 spd. I talked him into a lift and 33's on chrome wagon wheels. A fun rig but open diffs made some challenges.

Phil, your Chevy picture brought back some memories!

My first was a 72 K10, longbed, in 1973. Boy, that camper bumper made it into a great roadgrader! Good thin it was welded on.Didn't take me too long to move onward and upward to something taller with a shorter wheelbase. John
