AZJeff Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 The engine builder who is making my new short block tells me that Pete (known here as "Cruiser54") has passed away. He will be missed for his insight into old MJ's and XJ's. I hope his "Cruisers Tips" is archived for posterity here. EDIT: address for if anyone would like to send a card to his widow. The Family of Peter Rushbrook 7255 N Spur Rd Prescott AZ 86305-8928 Funeral / Celebration of Life: - May 29 5pm, Upper Ramada @ Watson lake in Prescott, AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Wait, how do we preserve his website?! In lieu of the unlikely event of gaining access to pay for it, I say we open a new sub forum in his honor that contains everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvagedcircuit Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Ugghhhh this is terrible. I purchased a bunch of parts from him a few months back, many I didn't even truly need because I wanted to somehow repay him for the invaluable information he's offered about renix jeeps over the years. It's also good to have spares. A true legend. What a terrible loss :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghetdjc320 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Wow, what unexpected news. Condolences to his family. He was a great source of knowledge and insight. I'm thinking a CC honorary 10 out of 10 rank is in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Man, it's always sad to see this happen. I could volunteer my website to mirror/rehost any of his content so we don't lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCO6 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 It's very sad to hear this. He lived RENIX XJs and MJs when they were new and shared his knowledge freely both through his notes from "The Book" and how he simply and clearly answered everyone's questions. RIP Pete.

87MJTIM Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 He will be greatly missed here on CC as well as other Jeep forums. I have always relied on his advise for my Renix MJ. Hopefully, his wealth of knowledge and information can live on for everyone. (He and Hornbrod can continue their "debate" about which is better, Renix or HO.)
