Chugga's HJ75 Cruiser

Chugga · 20-08-2008, 20:27

G'day Guys and Gals, Took a few go's to get the piccys up but now I've got it. Heres the truck on the way to Swan Hill last year with my cavalier camper for a bit of a holiday, also some shots at home after a clean, and one from the Yorke penisular a few months ago. She's pretty standard except for a few lights and the odd sticker. I've put a 'T' shape overhead console in it, UHF, Sony CD player and ditched the old knackered cruiser seats for some gemini seats (they were laying around my shed, and they were brown!) The old Girl runs the 2H for those in the know, And I've got a turbo kit here for it which will hopefully make it on there before christmas.

Thanks for checking it out.

See ya's at Deni 08.

Nice ute mate! How'd you go fitting the seats? Easy job? I want to chuck the seats out of my Cruiser and put 2 bucket seats in it..

Chugga · 21-08-2008, 20:27

Seats were easy as. Took about 2 hours to do. I used the landcruiser rails, and to adapt the gemini mounting holes, I used some flat bar running across from one rail to the other and just drilled the holes in the flat bar. Make sure you grab some seats that have a thin backrest on them as you've got stuff all room in the 75 series cab. I feel as though I sit up a bit higher to but after driving it for a week I got used to it.Best thing with these seat is that now not only do I not get a burnt butt from hot vinyl, But now I have room to get a centre console for it to put more crap in!

Thanks for your comments guys,

BTW, It's done 476,000 kms and that is the original paint, the old motor did 416,000 and I bought it a 420,000 exactly.

Just put some more lights on the old girl, 2 extra under the bar (that makes 5) and 5 clearance lights on the roof. Got some red ones to go on the back but haven't fitted them yet.

Here we go....

I've just uploaded an album with photo's of my cruiser and my old XR6 and HZ, Check them out at http://www.beaututes.com/members/chugga-albums-chugga-s-ute-dilligaf.html
