Lieutenant, you don't know whether you've been shot, f**ked, powder-burned or snake-bit.

Awesome video!
So, the LCLC luck prevailes! I won the springtail solutions fj40 backpack hooks. Not sure if they will fit. If not They will probably go to a club member who needs it or in the next raffle.
the fj62 i tried to get jim to send me pics on he now has listed on mud under parting out. He has also went up on the price. Good Grief guess its the big man up above trying to tell me something.
Took the 4runner to Ralph Hayes today.....had a constant vibration start up 2 days ago and so I drove it last night and was stumped....thought a tire may have thrown a weight....after taking it over to tire kingdom.....and they were too busy....I took it to Ralph....come to find out the U-joints went bad....so they are replacing those and turning my warped rotors.....saved over a 100 bucks with th UC discount.....feels good to take it to guys you trust.....Thanks Ralph!
I need to get to RHT and get an air filter for the 60. It needs attention and none of the local shops carry one. Would rather give RHT my business before I have the local parts boys overnight me one. Do they make deliveries to Greenville? Does anyone want to stop by and pick one up for me?

Have to give Chuck some credit here. He's never sold any of his cruisers. He bought 2 and kept them. Now granted maybe he has just driven them since he got them and only done the bare minimum to keep at least one running at all time I've never ever heard of him mention he would sell one. That being said just about everyone else in the club who has spent a ton of time in fixing up their cruisers have all said they wanted to sell it from time to time. Even I have mentioned the word once or twice. But not Chuck.
So maybe the key to owning a cruiser is to do what Chuck did. Just buy it and drive it. When something breaks don't worry about it. When it leaves you stranded on the road then just fix that part and nothing else.
After all the most enjoyment I get is in driving my cruisers and getting them to the trail. In the 6 or so years I've been with the club I've never seen as much buying and selling as I have seen this past year.

did you get me any salt water taffy?
I account for at least 50% of this... I can't say I don't wheel and deal... I think my tastes change from time to time, and i'm a sucker for a good deal...
Thanks for the kind words Marshall....I love my 2 cruisers and couldn't think of selling them....in fact down the road we will probably sell the 4runner and get a hundred so we have more room for two kids....speaking of fixing the LC I am getting a knuckle rebuild kit for the 60 and would like to do it either the last week in July or the last week in august.....if we had enough interest we could do this as another club event....if not we could do a club hamom and you could work on what ya needed to....my father in law just got this cool lift that will lift the entire side of your vehicle so you can do the work needed.

Trying to get dohcdelsol out here as well that day. Oh yeah can have beer waiting as well.
I think it has to do alot with cost of living. Gas is high. For most business is slow. I have not seen as much as a cost of living raise in 5 yrs. My small army of children are getting older and starting to eat and want things. All u see on tv is doom and gloom about the future as well.
Our company just signed a 500 million contract for 10 years and they still have frozen raises for the next 1.5 years at least. We have already had a freeze for 1.5 years. Companies are hunkering down and expecting the worst next year.
I think it comes down most to what your family likes to do. If you have a wife that likes Cruisers, then you won't sell them. With that said I don't wish for a minute to trade any attributes about my wife to have her be a "Cruiserhead". I will have another cruiser to build when my son is older. The most fun I had was building it, not driving it. People are different.
It was either the Cruiser or Backhoe for me. I could sell the Cruiser for what I have in it and it costs me money each month to just have it parked.
With the backhoe I would have lost $9000, and it doesn"t cost me a dime to keep it parked in the shed. Actually I can make money with it if I do odd jobs. You can't have it all, sometimes the wife screams enough is enough.
2 boats
Kubota backhoe
Golf Cart
Riding mower
push mower
2 dirt bikes
FJ40
10' trailer
16' trailer
All of this at a house that only has a 2 car garage and no place to park anything in the yard means an angry wife.
No regrets here, props to those who get to keep your Crusiers.
Glad you enjoy them.
With that said, my 40 is still in my garage at the moment.

sell the push mower, one boat and the 10" trailer and be done with it. Boat storage facilities aren't awful much either.
Well, that would only pay for $1000 of the $3000 repair bill on the tractor, but thanks.
The co. i work for is drive automotive. We are a stamping and assembly plant that makes auto parts. Doors, hoods, fenders, structural parts etc. We have BMW, Mercedes, volkswagon, ford, freightliner. Next year vw will be wide open and we startup paccar which is peterbuilt and ketworth. We are in the middle of an expansion and bmw has asked us to expand again as soon as this one is finished for them.
We are told that paccar alone should generate 1billion is sales over the next 15 yrs. Magna the parent co. of drive is throwing money like water on a fire at our plant right now. Bmw posted a 22% increase in sales last month alone.
My point is the $$ is going somewhere. While i think things will get worse next year but i honestly wonder if the south will be hit as hard. Industy is sprinting down here as fast as it can get here to dodge unions and the local govt.s know that. Just look at boeing.
