Went drifting in my e30 for the first time.

Yeah there is definitely something about cruisers that just make them awesome. So much character, and the community is awesome. I've taken mine so many places it should have never been, and my worst carnage has been a broken birf. It really does kinda amaze me!

[DSP74]

Agreed. The nicest thing would be a Really nice 40 series built to be more comfortable on the street, with a 5 speed swap, and an injected 2J. Gas prices be damned.

There is just something about the Cruisers though... there is no denying it.

[FJ40]

I regret the fact that I didn't build a sammy every time I think about it! I am definitely of the opinion that LIGHT IS GOOD, and despite the fact that I have yanked everything out of my cruiser that doesn't make it move, it is no sub 3k trail rig.

Swap some toy axles in, some t-case gears, and GO! Honestly as much as I really do love my FJ40, the biggest reason I won't part with it is that I'm too emotionally attached LOL!

[DSP74]

If I get another trail truck it'll be another samurai. The one I had got sold right away and never got to mess with it......

But you can't argue with a truck that can go almost anywhere, if built right and driven sensibly is plenty stout, and for me the best thing is it can be put on a small trailer and towed by damn near anything. You don't need a diesel and an ag trailer to tow it.

Funny you guys mention all these things. I do wheel at the badlands, and haven't been to redbird, but have wheeled with it's owner. The badlands really is cool, but I miss TSF and PNW wheeling in general (NEVER thought I would miss the greenies).

Lately the cruiser has been relegated to the garage given it's gas mileage and my lack of tow rig. It's kind of at a bad state of build at the moment, sucks to drive to and from trails at this point.

I definitely would like to find myself back in portland after school, I KNOW I'll be back out west, even if I find myself flipping burgers and living in a box for a while hahah!

I'd love to wheel tellico at some point too, it's under a shitty amount of fire lately...

dude you have no idea, I went from living surrounded by great wheeling/rockcrawling to living with NOWHERE to wheel. wheeling here is driving through cornfields according to these people!

You guys need to get down and check out Tellico plains OHV sometime...

this thread is ridiculous!

nice find. i need to locate someone who wants to identify what bearing is shot on my 4.10 so I can use it with being able to hear the radio on the interstate, or sell it off.

there's some locals in indy who do that offroading stuff somewhere... indycarz.com and search.

quick search: http://www.redbirdsra.com/

Since this thread is gay I don't mind taking it offtopic/


I used to have a 70 FJ40 that was stripped to the frame, along with a pile of parts, from a disk brake 2J era cruiser. Lost interest time/money and sold it all for a song.....since I've had a bunch of others trucks, K5's, Sammis etc.

Badlands in IN.

Where the real truck challenge was hosted. They are the guys who used to build the Sniper

Ah good deal. The FJ40s do like to slurp down the liquid gold, so, the closer the better for him, ha. :)

BTW, FJ40, you coming back to Portland after Purdue?

[Funkmasta]

he used to live 45 minutes from some prime wheeling... isnt the badlands in South Dakota?

[DSP74]

you could check out the badlands if you are in Purdue. Other than that there is turtle ridge on drummond island mi, which is a LONG way from you but I'm kinda fond of northern MI

Now that sig has a sweet ride. To bad places to wheel are slim pickens' round here.
