Your name: Justin. I'm normally an observer, but am registering and posting because I have a very specific problem with rear doors that I am looking for your ideas on - so here I am. Great to meet you. I'll post the door issue in the 100 series section unless one of you comes back with alternate directions.
Your Cruiser: '00 100 series Cruiser with 210k miles
Mods on your Cruiser: I have a 2 inch OME lift with diff drop and BFG ATKO2s. All installed last year at about the 190k mark. There is also a light duty bull bar from a previous owner.
Plans for your Cruiser: Would like to add a new rear bumper with spare and water storage in addition to an aftermarket rack that I could sleep on in nice weather (under the stars, not a roof top tent). On the possible list are a compressor to make airing down for off road travel more attractive as well as filling up bike tires.
4x4 Experience: Minimal. Got the Cruiser to enable forest road adventures in the Uinta and Wasatch mountains as well as BLM land all over Utah.
Anything else you think is interesting or relevant: My Cruiser's name is Ginger. She earned that name last summer on the White Rim train in Canyonlands park when 6 of us used her to SAG a 3 day mountain bike ride of the trail. Thew short story goes that I kept reminding my buddies to drive "gingerly" when their turn came up, so everyone started calling her Ginger and me paranoid..She turned 200k on the trail, which was a nice birthday surprise. I'll post some pics so you can meet her too.
A note about the first photo- that is the precise spot of Ginger's 200k. Not planned or expected, but a wonderful coincidence none the less!
