[zion zig zag]

@revfloater - fuckin drool.

[heckacali]

Nice 40 rev, my weakness also...

Full disclosure, the 80 and 46 are not mine, i am just working on them for friends.
But i do have another 40 not shown

I’ve been eyeballing this truck for a while.

Like it. I had a '73 F250 Camper Special with a flatbed on it, big motor etc. Miss it.

^^Sweet dude.
@Rev that thing is awesome! I almost swapped my old Willys for an 80 FJ40 with a Ford 302 and Tremec 5 speed back in 1994. I kick myself every time I see one now.

My similar truck gets 8mpg, so...I guess, beware or whatever.

Edit: and look at this 69 (I think?) napco f350 I saw in my neighborhood the other day.

My buddy has slowly been putting this Bronco together. Bought it stock last year. Gears, lockers, lift (fancy model), tires and baseline so far.

Yes, that Series 3 is yummy.

Thats cool. I dig Broncos of that vintage and find them to be very underrated.

Warthog- I agree with conundrum that your jeep is one of my favorites. Just really well done. (Only thing I'd change are those (smittybuilt?) Nerf bars. One of my main wheeling buddies has an 82 CJ7 on tons that was originally that same renegade package.

Aww shucks, Thanks lifelink, Conundrum, and Rev. I only put her on here to show the tire size. She has been a beautiful beast since I bought her in 2004. Nothing more than oil changes and pet projects. I put in a custom mahogany veneer dash in 2005, update tires, updated some gauges and pull controls, updates seats, and rolled in bedliner. Getting ready to spray a second coat of bedliner. Future project is to repaint in same root beer color, but with airbrushed OG renegade graphics sunk under the clear coat to make them pop. Gotta fix about 10-12 very minor rust spots first.

Rev- That FJ is sweet. Did you get rid of the CJ you bought a while back?

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

LOL, a dive buddy painted his friend's war wagon/surf mobile this weekend. This would so be my daily driver.

Yeah, sold Dalton to a buddy of mine. I think I was hoping that a CJ would fill the void of a 40, and that CJ ended up being a truly great rig with zero issues. But ultimately I got the cruiser itch in a bad way and currently own the 40, a 62 and an 80. Wife says one has to go so I'll likely be selling the 80 as much as I love it. The Vortec-converted 40 & 62 are just too tits. The 80 is truly everything it's hyped up to be but it doesn't tug the heart strings like its two older brothers do for me.

That is the balls.

Unfortunately, the prices for clean ones have been starting to climb the last few years. My old SAR team had one, I loved that truck. Almost bought it when it was retired. Someday I'd like to own one with a 351.

I just can’t quit this old girl. Plus when it’s time to move a ping pong table I’m covered.

Can anybody tell me what the hell this thing is? Seen in Apache Junction AZ

Not sure why it has kenworth or ram on there. Single axle bobtail freightliner with smaller wheels on it and maybe lowered to pull a travel trailer. Probably has a cummins in it. Not the most comfy ride

Or they put an old conventional Kenworth cab on a Dodge frame.

[grinch]

That could be it. Cab looks like a freightliner though. Maybe just the hood and grill , kenworth cab, ram chasis and cummins?

May be an older version?

Edit...meh...probably not I guess.

[grinch]

Used to hate lifting those hoods. A mile long. Most are half that length now and are atleast manageable or quite ez

Who knows...an abomination regardless.

[The Reverend Floater]

Think how large the radiator could be!

[Conundrum]

A cabover with sleeper would be a lot cooler.
