Ty's FJ62 SOA build

[robustbambi]

Eh, debatable.

Glad it didn't brake the glass.

I understand how people could stop worrying about damage after a few dents, but since this was an accident and I basically had no control over this situation I was kinda pissed. I don't go around bouncing off rocks and trees, and I definitely don't want my body to look like I do. I will be pulling the dents out and making her look pretty again.
It's part of wheeling and I accept that.. I just like keeping my things as nice as possible.

Amen! I would be crying if that happened to my cruiser, I park for days away from wherever I go just to prevent door dings

 

[WhompinFJ]

This should cheer you up Ty, I got you some new tires for your cruiser! Lols

Keep me and slap them on after your SOA! Haha

 

[WhompinFJ]

Sweet! I'm sure I'll be the first cruiser on 12s

Ahh bummer about the dent, but at least it didn't cause any major damage. I'm going to have to see if I can find an old soccer ball lying around somewhere,... that method seems just easy enough to get my lazy ass to finally pop the dent in my rear quarter panel..

I'd say after the first dent you gradually get less and less freaked out by the dents.... but they are always annoying as hell!!! I hate looking at the dents in mine, but since they happened I've noticed I'm a lot less concerned with brush scratches on the paint.

I remember my first cruiser dent It's funny, my mini-truck was so ugly and rusted we would throw rocks at it to see if we could get any parts to fall off. The 60 was just as rusted, but I almost cried when I tagged that tree

soccer ball trick is cool, I'll have to remember that.

 

[Captain Sanuk]

Yeah. I used a football first but it's harder to pull the pump off the needle
To let the air out. I ended up popping it to get it out.

More info and pics when I do some work on it after school

 

[WhompinFJ]

I hope you can get her back to her old self Ty! Too clean of a truck

 

[Captain Sanuk]

Here are some pictures of the dent removal..

I think I got all the easy dents out. Now I need to decide if I want to bondo it and spray the doors or just leave it. Here is what it looks like now

WIIIILSOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!

 

[Captain Sanuk]

Was driving through the neighborhood and saw this. Definitely made me think about selling the cruiser and getting one. Tell me I'm not thinking straight..

 

[The Phoenician]

is that a solid front axle? either way NICE.

 

[mcguirejohnson]

That's cool, but not FJ60 cool.

 

[The Phoenician]

That's cool, but not FJ60 cool.

nothing is fj60 cool. unless it's a fj 62

 

[The Machinist]

Your not the only one who wants one of those,.... and I need a new daily driver....

I think I took a few pics of that guy at SurfN'Turf 2012.

Sweet! Anyone know if he is on mud? He lives around the corner so I might go introduce myself.

I'd have to disagree with you Mike... I know you have had dreams about having round eyes on Big Red haha.

 

[The Phoenician]

Truth be told, I think everyone else had that dream. The way I see it 4 eyes are twice as good as two
