Goodbye Jeep World (kinda)

Well, after all the hard work, blood, sweat and a few tears, i finally sold my 90 YJ 2.5L and upgraded to a 1991 FJ80 Landcruiser!

Here are some pics:

http://www.yankeetoys.org/mangler/cruiser.htm

I have met MANY good friends and people on the Jeep forums and have learned a lot of many of you!

The crusier will be getting the usual, lift, tires and lockers and will be on the trail soon

Hopefully ya let my big tank come a long.

And since, i know at least one person will ask, i sold the jeep because i wanted more room and something with a more solid base to start modifying and something i can sleep in when i go camping. Plus, i have wanted one of these since they first came out!!!

FYI, i sold the YJ for 4K and picked this up for $6500, not bad eh?

Didya get the one with the electric lockers? Toyota really beat Jeep to the punch with those. A bunch of my friends have FJ40's that they swap those pumpkins into with nice results.

Good luck with the Cruiser Kevin.

BTW, would you happen to be interested in a small camping trailer to go along with the Cruiser? LOL I'll sell you one REAL cheap.

Not, probably not even a month. Just got tired of constantly fixing stuff, also, getting way to broke quick and still needing to wrench!

For some weird reason I don't have any pics of it. I plan on going to Marine Corp Air Station Miramar tomorrow where I have it in storage. I'll try to remember to bring my camara with me.

I'm puting it up for sell soon & I'll let it go to the first person to give me a couple $ for it. It's nothing fancy.

those are real nice rigs and can be fairly capable. Its too bad that Inline six is just a little underpowered, but other than that you should be really happy with it. Good luck with your new project!
