Smile Newbie LC Man

Finally got a cruiser! Picked up a 1994 from original owner for $2000.00 (thanks Mom!). Has had a meticulous maintenance schedule, and has NEVER been off road. 150,000 miles. I have been watching the list for a while now, and waiting for my mom to get a new minivan so she could be done with my LC. Here's a picture I took the day I got it.

Was bone stock, but I have installed a kenwood system, and a gps mount so far. I am in the process of building a custom safari rack, and will have pics soon. Future mods will be an ARB bumper, OME lift, larger tires, and whatever other sick ideas I can come up with to decrease my mileage and irritate my wife!

Congrats! I just picked up a white rig and thought it looked a bit plain but liking it more & more each day. After you've added all your upgrades, take Mom out to a nice dinner on Mother's Day with the "all new" rig.

Congratulations! The 80 looks gorgeous and a great price to boot. Make sure you repost that pic in the artistic cruisers thread in the chat section. It looks awesome.
