just make sure to put a locking chain (think bicycle lock) on the jerry can handle - husband's jerry cans got stolen from the swing-out in Moab

Sad but inevitable I suppose. I don't even like going to the town any more; when I lived there in 1978-1979 it was a wonderful place, one of my favorites - but it is almost unrecognizable to me now.

New muffler, no mo' stinky

Nearly doubled the value of my $200 Cruiser by ditching the stinky, noisy stock muffler and replacing with welded stainless Borla race muffler.
No more exhaust stank coming up through the rustholes around rear wheelwells.

Changed out the non-working Ambulance Door lock. Gave her a bath and a nice coat of wax. Can't wait for the rainy season to end so the hard top can come off for the summer!!

Got my steelies powder coated and some new coopers on them looks way better now... The console is out to powder coat can't wait to see it all done with arm rest pad and mounted.

What is the switch labeled "FD" on the left for? Thanks

 

[peteinjp]

Thats "Front drive." Its the vacuum operated transfer case switch that engages the front axle. Convenient but I'd prefer a manual shift transfer.

After a ton of research and opinion seeking I finally got new tires. I went with BFG All Terrain TA's in 33x10.50x15.

I also sprayed the chrome wheels with black Plasti-Dip.

Nice rig (I especially like the color ) Looks like your wheels kinda stick out. What wheels do you have and what's the backspacing? Do you have wheel spacers?

For the first day in the month that I've had mine I am not touching a wrench...just driving and enjoying!

Gah, 6 weeks before our DV trip the cruiser starts being dumb again. I adjusted the steering box yesterday, and not it's really weird to drive. Wandering all over and won't return to center. Nice.

Then just for fun the engine started backfiring through the carb and hiccupping randomly. I've been driving it all week and it's been running great... now this just to stress me out before out long trip.

Man I can't wait to get rid of the 350.

Installed new calipers and pads when I found my left caliper leaking. The clue was the right drift when braking...

Better now!

The color is Sherwin Williams 42095 beige single stage paint.


The wheels are some misc 15x8 chrome steel units. Not sure on the back spacing but there are 1 inch wheel spacers installed.

Installed brackets, fold and tumble bench seat and harness for the kids.

Finally got my engine placed.

any details on the seat/brackets and pricing?

 

[oogs]

any details on the seat/brackets and pricing?

Made by teraflex. They are a third row bracket for a jeep. The seat is a fold and tumble jeep wrangler seat out of a 2010. I think the brackets were pricey. About $250.
