First off, am I crazy? I just really like the 40's.
Giving up the power everything, a/c (I live in Arizona), pretty comfortable ride etc. for a bumpy, non a/c, COOL AS HELL ride~ I've been going back and forth, but I'll be picking up a 1972 Freeborn Red 40 this weekend.
Has anyone already downgraded / upgraded from a 62 to a 40 - what will be the biggest changes?
I've looked at a lot of pics of 40's wheeling and haven't noticed a problem, but I would think that the extended front bumper and frame that comes out so far would decrease approach angles- Not true?
Also- I spent yesterday looking through Moab pics and can't find one of a 40 crossing Golden crack. Anyone have one or know where one is?
Been reading the posts for the last 3 months- You guys are a wealth of knowledge!
