What did you do with your 60 this weekend?

Tampa Cruisers & Coffee 2025

Huge thank you to everyone who came out to our first Cruisers & Coffee!

We weren’t expecting that kind of turnout for the meet — the interest, support, and energy from this community absolutely blew us away.
60 Series definitely stole the show.
The vibes were great, the conversations were even better, and some killer raffle prizes found new homes thanks to our sponsors!

Seeing everyone connect over these rigs reminds us exactly why we do what we do. The passion out here? Yeah… this community doesn’t play .

We appreciated every handshake, every head-nod, and every “what size tire is that?” we heard today.

And seeing so many families out here with the kiddos made it even better — that’s what this is all about.

From the entire Tampa Cruisers family — thank you for the love, the laughs, and the support. We can’t wait to do many, many more of these with you all.

If this is what the first wave looks like… imagine round two.
Stay tuned… we’re just getting started.

P.S. If you missed this one… your friends will remind you. All week.

•Chad King & @DLeggett with the skills.

3.5 years to complete

To be fair to myself, I only started 4 months ago... and took a 6-week roadtrip during that time. This is Marks (@Fourrunner) kit with dual swingarms. Also my first welding project that Had to look good (and is important enough to not fail!)

Overall, I'm pretty happy... but more importantly, Mrs. Sumguy thinks it looks great. The #1 most important thing for her is that it doesn't rattle, and based on the first test drive of ~40 miles (unloaded and unpainted), it was a 100% success.

Started recovering my seats. I used the cruiser corp seat covers. Similar to stock. Also new bottom cushion foam. I put really soft foam on top of the hard foam. also drilled a ton of holes in the bottom to soften it up as the botttom foam from spectre offroad is hard. I might take it back out and shave off 1" as it raises the height of the seat a lot from the old foam. Also installing new seat belts and carpet and soundproofing.

I went through this with drilling holes in SOR cushions and found it still too firm. I eventually scored some free Tacoma seats and installed those, way more comfortable!

Seems I brought the rain with me from the north, at least it wasn’t snow!

Spent this week unpacking all our junk after a 4500 mile road trip to Colorado and Utah.
This old rig loves to travel and explore. Or at least the people and dogs inside are loving it
Even got to see my good friend @MoaByte !
That's one of the coolest guys I've ever met.

Way to get after it @Thechief86 . N you're right, these old beasts love the backroad tours

Yeah, that was where we camped upstream of the reservoir a couple of miles. That area is amazing
It got pretty cold even being early October!

Took my 60 on a three day trip into West Virginia. Scenic drives, Pipestem, Hinton, New River Gorge. Stayed in a cottage in Sandstone Falls which only has a gas station!

First road trip since purchasing in April. Ran like a top.

Weekend off-roading, unfortunately my transfer case keeps slipping 4x4 under very heavy load pushing the stick to 2x4. Another rebuild is need :-/

Maybe just the decent springs need changed?

Yah did that, made the shift civilized (was very heavy) but it still disengaged (High and low, i have the H55F manual) the frequency of disengaging dropped a lot thought.
