I agree, cool rig.
I have liked the 70 series rigs for a while now, i may have to get one of these too but i also want a 55 series.
So many Cruisers so little time!
Any engine mods planed?

Tanks fzj80,

Yes I also want a 55 series very nice but like you say; so many Cruisers so little time and so little $$$
For the engine I was looking for a turbo, oil radiator and Inter-cooler, and a dump-valve depends which turbo I put.
I found that forum when I was looking for turbo s to 3B engine, I was very interested on Eaton because of the pressure on low rpm.
