She’s headed home!
 
A factory look 80 lifted on 35s with some nice dished dark wheels is such an amazing look. Beauty.

I did something similar last year. One-way ticket to ATL. Drove a black LX450 back to LA in three days. Pretty much only stopped for gas, bio breaks, and sleep.

Never again, but glad I did it. Enjoy!

Just wish I was there dammit!
 
Ok, first day is a success. Arrived in Portland at 4:10 early arrival, Pacific time is two hours earlier so basically 2pm. An Uber in a Kia with a guy named Mohammed got me to @MTNMAN133 's house close to 4.
A quick once over with the Cruiser and I'm off to fuel up and start the journey East on HWY 84. Only hickup was the trouble I received for pumping my own gas. What do you mean I can't pump it myself?
Cup of Coffee and a snack and I'm Eastbond and down in the pouring rain. Cool, no leaky windshield or sunroof. In and out of several cells the views were amazing. Took pics but refused to post while driving.
Staying with old friends in Maridean ID after my trip east from Amarillo, then West from DFW, then East out of Portland OR. Hell of a good day in a very clean well built LX450. Planning on LC Heritage Museum tomorrow and end up in Moab for the night.

Gorgeous country. Done it before driving a HJ60 from Vancouver Island, BC to Dallas, TX. I tried to minimize night driving because I did not want to miss out on the scenery. Just like you I love pumping my own gas! First time it happened, thought I was getting scammed. “Screeched my tires” to another gas station. Same thing happened.🤔 Upon inquiry I had to succumb.

That is so odd. He was able to use the restroom on his own, though.

I’ll text back when I know you’re up. Hopefully you’re getting solid rack time.
 
Congrats! Guess I'll get to meet you guys at SAS.

Cross country drives are the best. I bought mine out of Arizona last November, one way ticket to Phoenix and drove it back to ATL in two days. Since then I've driven it out to Moab and back (two days each way), and my son and I will be driving out to Ouray for SAS in a month.

Looking forward to meeting you and your son in Ouray!
