Intro Thread for my new KZJ78 (1 Viewer)

[indicavern]

Hey Guys, just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Buddy Austin and I just purchased a Land Cruiser Prado SX KZJ78 - very stoked to say the least! I live in Seattle and plan on doing some of the Cars and Coffee meet ups at some point. Do you guys have any suggestions for any other PNW meet ups?

This has been a dream car for many years and 17 year old me would be very proud to know this was in his future haha.

Anyways, I've already had some great help from the forum with replacing a windshield and appreciate you all big time.

Here's a few photos of the new rig

Welcome Austin, and congrats on the new Land Cruiser, it looks like a fine specimen. You are off to a great start at 17! My 16yr old son is wanting to get a Land Cruiser as well.

Welcome! Seattle Cruiserheads meet up once a month in various Seattle locations. They have a Facebook page I think. Also a mailing list. Good peeps.

I think my wording may have been a bit confusing, I'm 38 but have wanted something like this since I was 17 haha! I bet he is! Cheers

OK, that makes way more sense... as I think my son may end up saving until he is 38 before he can afford one.

Who knows, he is pretty motivated and relatively disciplined, so he may get there sooner. I bought my first diesel 40 series when I was 21... so there is hope for him yet.

Hi and welcome!

Would you by any chance be in the Redmond area? I passed a rig much like yours near the Trilogy golf course a couple weeks back.

I live in Seattle but I do go to Redmond/Kirkland fairly often. Not sure if that was me by the golf course though, i haven't played in a few months

@indicavern - I recently purchased a KZJ78 as well. In Issaquah/May Valley area. Would be good to sync.
