I bought my 1974 Cruiser in 1994 for $1K in stock condition except for the small block Chevy V8 conversion. Over the past 13+ years, much has changed.             ARB front with 4:10 gears, cut and turned axles, Marlin 30 spline Longfield axels, Saginaw power crossover steering, 4” Skyjacker lift springs under axles, HD shackles.             In the rear is a 4:10 geared Toy LC axle with a welded diff and a spring over with FJ55 rear springs which stretched the wheelbase by 4”, drum brakes and HD shackles.             A Warn 8274 sits up front in a custom home built mount/bumper/stinger.             Under hood is a tired, but reliable, 350 V8 hooked to a SM465 trans and Toyota 4sp T-case. ON custom made engine brackets is a York compressor that fills a 2.5 gallon air tank in back. It is used to fill tires, air tools, and operates the ARB through a fully pneumatic switch. A Quadra jet feeds the fuel through a Wind Stealth intake. An early Ford Bronco radiator w/10” electric pusher fan cools the beast. Duel red top Optima batteries get everything started.             Custom built 6 point rollcage with spare tire mount, rock sliders, skid/belly plate, and a Hiem joint/DOM torque rod built by me. Beard Super seats with 4 point TCI harnesses and a nice center consol are built into the rollcage. Many other small things that I can’t remember. All of this rides on 35” BFG Mud T/A’s on 15X8 2” BS Rockcrawler wheels.     Back to Members Rigs
