How did you find out about TLCA? - Page 2

TRT2 · 07-23-04, 10:41 AM

Exiled...

I believe you represent a large majority in your description.... and I certainly appreciate the help you've given and for hanging in there, even when you sometimes had to grumble about it.

Thanks!

Tony

MrZumma · 07-29-04, 01:07 PM

Right-on Exiled... I am feeling overly burned-out with a Windows certification board I tutor on now.. It is something that wanes back and forth for me and it just happens I am at the bottom of the burn-out now.. Glad I found IH8MUD to fill in some of that time I spent tutoring!

Found TLCA in the days/weeks after purchasing my first 80 last March. I have checked out many websites related to LC's and listed the TLCA's website as one of those must visit frequently sites. I waited until today to join, however...

tclndcrz · 07-29-04, 04:25 PM

Found out about TLCA when i first started searching the net for cruiserparts two years ago.
Joined TLCA today

PaLCruiser · 07-29-04, 05:19 PM

When I bought my LandCruiser I wanted to find parts cheaper, So I looked on the www.
I eventually found TLCA. After reading some of the posts here. I came up with an Idea. If you ever sell your LandCruiser. Stick a Toyota Trails magazine in the glove box or under a seat. Maybe the new owner might just find it and be interested in joining. Just a Thought. Thanks

wayne_fj40 · 08-03-04, 11:33 AM

I first heard about it from this shop I know in Smokey point than when I joined I8hmud I did more research and joined .

dd113 · 08-14-04, 11:06 PM

A loud guy from N CA kept giving me beers until I felt so bad I joined again.

I originally joined in 92 or 3 found the info in a old SOR catalog. Left the fold for a while but back now

green73 · 08-16-04, 11:57 AM

Was Stationed in Alaska. Bought my 40 from a co-worker. Went to the local 4x4 shop, looking for a manual steering box. Counter guy said to try Mark Whatley's shop. Me "Who is that?" Him "That guy right over there" Me "Thanks". Introduced myself, he gave directions to his shop. Went to his shop, and he had a few mags and stickers there. Still didn't realize who he was until I actually read the "TT's" he gave me. Joined tha same year. 2000 If memory serves.

bzngoblu · 08-16-04, 12:18 PM

I did a Google search and found the ih8mud soemwhere in the process of reviewing the TLCA site.

esh · 08-23-04, 02:57 PM

Before any good land cruiser resources existed, we had the offroad mailing list admin'd by Stefan Roth. That's where I first found out about the TLCA.

Later the cruiser community broke off and formed the LCML, then came the other lists, pirate, ih8mud, etc. It's great all the resources we've got now vs the Toyota Trails "newsletter" and Specter's catalogue we had.

woody · 08-23-04, 03:12 PM

all...the old ORML....Stefan at gatech.edu...lol

Met Al Kiecker, Peter Burke, Rick Columbo, and I all met off there and did a trail ride at McCaslin way back in 1994, all blind-intro'd from emails on that maillist....Al had a Cherokee, Peter a 4Runner, and Rick a BIG bronco....

Dan_J-spec_fj62 · 08-23-04, 06:50 PM

i found it here on "IH8MUD" .... i have yet to join .... i think it will fit into next months budget ... along with a "silverstar" here

CruisinGA · 08-24-04, 05:59 PM

The PO of my cruiser mentioned a local club in Atlanta that was a chapter of a national club.

I started to do some internet sleuth work and happened upon the TLCA website.

Chef · 09-16-04, 04:40 PM

I think it was from an ad in the back of one of the Petersen/Primemedia 4x4 mags. Which we don't do anymore. Something to consider...

Marv Specter tossed me a copy of TT when I was out visiting Cali in 1992?

timbercruiser · 09-16-04, 09:39 PM

I bought the cruiser owner's bible (moses ludel). It listed TLCA, joined in '97. Actually bouht a cruiser in 2000. Still adding to "the fleet".

trainrech · 09-17-04, 06:46 AM

My first wheeling experience was at GSMTR '99 with my brother lcrzrlvr. I was hooked and once I found my 40 he suggested I become a TLCA member.

Ponce · 09-18-04, 08:06 PM

Internet search under "landcruiser". I've looked forward to every issue of TT since.

I blame this ih8mud.com thing I can't seem to shake. Does TT ship by member number? I just got my sept issue this week.

sanjuancruiser · 10-22-04, 03:44 PM

I bought a 69 40 in 89 and it had a TLCA sticker on the windscreen. Joined just recently after pulling my head out and realizing that my disease is not an anomaly.

Pyro-boy · 10-25-04, 12:19 PM

I joined after visiting Slee Offroad and I read an old issue of TT. This is back in May of this year.

Heard about it from Ih8mud.com

Just called Jackie and joined over the phone.

82-SOA-60 · 10-27-04, 01:35 PM

.I was reminded my a certain TLCA prez when I was riding shotgun on a run in southern oregon. Best club I have had the honor of being part of.

Vitesse_6 · 10-28-04, 12:00 PM

I found out from DJ at DJ's traction service here in SLC, I took my 40 into have him do the SOA done, He showed me some old B&W copies he had, I signed up, My first issue was the first color copy.

e rock · 10-29-04, 03:42 PM

I spent about 4 months shopping for my first cruiser about 7 years ago, and in my search, I joined the LCML for more information and that's where I heard about TLCA.

peesalot · 10-30-04, 12:04 AM

I bet I am the only person with a copy of magazine coverage of the first Rubithon.
I finally went on one some years later and some guy named Tony walked up with his hand out and a bunch of raffle tickets and he's been takin my money ever since , gotta love TLCA. Or maybe I just love Tony .

Nah , it is the TLCA

OnTheSpot · 12-09-04, 01:36 AM

Word of mouth. Talking to local cruiserheads and TLCA members got me to join.
