Hi All!

[rickysa]

New guy here! I'm in Southern Pines and rebuilding a FZJ80 that has been sitting for a couple of years. Replacing rotors/brakes and adding an Old Man EMU for starters. I finished a rebuild on a '90 Jeep Wrangler last year and took the Off Road class offered by UORTC as I am brand new to off road fun. Been to Uwharrie a couple of times just to feel my way around a bit, but just staying on the "bunny slopes".

Look forward to meeting some of you soon!

Rick

Welcome!

 

[JohnVee]

Glad ya made it over here, Rick. @rowtide is near you in Vass with an FJ60. You might have met him if you've been to Pinehurst Toyota.

Welcome!

Welcome man. The meet and Greet in a few weeks would be the perfect place to come say hi.

 

[jamesurq]

Welcome! I too came to land cruisers after rebuilding a Jeep (CJ not wrangler in my case). Hope you can make it out to some events.

 

[lumbee1]

Welcome @rickysa! Come introduce yourself at the Meet-n-Greet. We also have a HAMOM scheduled for Saturday. HAMOM = Help A Member Out Meeting. You could always come hang out and learn more about your Land Cruiser.

 

[rickysa]

Thanks for the kind words folks! I'll definitely be at the Meet-N-Greet with camera in tow...need to get some pics to see what all I need to do to spruce up the old girl.

She's still on the lift, so I'll be the red-headed step child in a pick-up...did I read that you are having a workday on Saturday? Happy to help, if so.

does @RedHeadedStepChild have some competition now?

Welcome!

does @RedHeadedStepChild have some competition now?

Depends on his luck getting to an event. Long way to catch up to Jim's bad luck.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Welcome Rick!

 

[RedHeadedStepChild]

One is a metaphor.
One is the real deal.

Rick, at the last Triad meeting we had a couple from Southern Pines. Was that you guys? If it was, sorry I'm bad with names.

 

[rickysa]

Not us!

I think that was the @rowtide's. Whom I failed to meet!

 

[David70FJ40]

She and a friend came up from Southern Pines.

I'm a she, but other than that, yes! If you ever stop in at Pinehurst Toyota, I'm in sales, stop in and say hi! I'm Blake, and our service manager has a 100 series himself.

Somehow missed this whole convo this past week or two, but welcome!!

My apologies! Didn't actually meet you that night and was going off a pic of you and your truck that I have now confirmed is another Mudder. Thanks for the polite notice.

No worries, with a name like Blake, it's anot extremely common mistake! And working in a male dominated field, especially in emails, I am used to the confusion. Similar circumstances here.
