First pull

Took a lot of work, but we are ready for the So Cal Desert Rendezvous. So far it is a huge difference towing with the LC compared to the Tacoma.
V8 and four wheel disc brakes. Does it get any better? Rides like a freekin Caddy.
2000 LC's are a challenge to put brake controllers in. One thing led to another. I wanted the controller on a separate circuit so I added an additional fuse block. Fuse block comes off of a second battery right? Second battery need a battery controller....and it was all downhill from there.
I love this truck. And better yet, the wife loves it.
Scored on a slightly used 12000LB Warn winch for $500 dollars:Wow1:, so now I need a new Slee bumper and then the rear receiver is too low, so now I need a new rear bumper. Metal Tech sliders are at the powder coater.
It never ends, does it.

Drove my Cruiser for my business this week; 378 miles to a drilling rig in west Texas. iphone photo:

Almost warm enough to take the top off for the year.

Thanks! But there are some much nicer ones out there - I don't think mine is anything special; I was just able to find a rust-free stock one and build it to my taste. I sure wish a previous owner hadn't cut the rear wheel openings in the tub.

And you are overly modest, Lee, but that's OK!

I don't think he's changed it much, but here's a pic I took within the last couple of years.

Here's my 80, I haven't been able to do TOO much overlanding/expeditions because of work but I am planning a few trips across Canada and the U.S for this year and next.

Across from Turtle Mountain in Frank, Alberta, Canada:

And a couple from a recent trip out to a local area named Waiparous.

Hi Shellb,

Do you have this troopy in the states? Very cool! Interested in seeing the interior work you do.
