Let me know when you have it. I need to come by and take some pictures of the Light Racing and shock set up. Also come by the SoCal 80s section and check in. Hope to see you and the rig out on the trail. Sick ride you have there, talk about a sleeper, schweet.

Hey Jeff, That's a sweet new ride you got there!!! I'm tossing around the idea of an 80 Series or a DoubleCab Tacoma.

OK, just dropped off the LC at JLothringers. I'm glad she's going to a good home and will be well cared for...(I feel like I just broke up with my High School sweetheart.) Not sure what's next the Tundra or the new LC??? Whatever it is, it won't stay stock for long!!!
Hey James hows it going? long time no talk. Hows the new race car? when we gonna see her in the dirt? she is one beautiful ride, ol zack went above and beyond on that car..........anyways let me know if and when you get a cruiser always looking for someone to go hit the trails with.........
Hey Allen, thanks for bringing her by and dropping her off at her new home (the wife is in love) I do have to admit she looks quite good parked in front of my house. can't wai to start playing with her tommorow!! I will let you have visiting writes anytime you want. Thanks again for selling her to us (we promise to take good care of her!!) good luck with future projects. When you gunna race your car? let me know always looken for some seat time..........
No problem Jeff...Have fun with her. Don't worry about hurting it either, it's unreal the abuse the 80 series can handle. I mean rediculous...
The Baja 1000 is looking mighty tempting...the loop will be a good course for my car
If I do it, you can have a section, but I get to chase in the LC.Sounds like a good deal to me........No problem Jeff...Have fun with her. Don't worry about hurting it either, it's unreal the abuse the 80 series can handle. I mean rediculous...

strong work getting those pics and article on mud for everyone
I remember that article and I have been wanting to see Ivans 80 again
I believe the 80 in article was Ivans 2nd if not 3rd 80 as a prerunner. I remember seeing his 80 at desert races back in the day painted like his original truck the original white, red yellow orange black scheme
He used an 80 to prerun till the Tundra came out with the V8

That thing is way cool, never knew Ivan used to pre-run in one. I was contemplating painting my 80 exactly like this. Now I know how it would have looked.
Very cool. Thanks for posting.
The article says its a '97. The dash seems to indicate a '93 or '94 doesn't it? Maybe they retrofitted an older dash to eliminate the airbags or something?

You should, it doesn't even look dated for an 11 year old (*CORRECTION* 9 Yr. Old) graphic paint job!!! It would look even better without flares!

That thing is nice. I was toying with the idea of making a replica race truck with the old toyota graphics scheme and some total chaos long travel suspension. I never knew he had a cruiser though. I would like to see some bumpers like that. I wonder if that guy is still in business in El Cajon. It is only like an hour from me, might have to check it out.
from what i hear he's still in Santee building hotrods...
I also noticed it doesn't look to have a sunroof, which is pretty rare for a US model I believe.
It has a sunroof, you can faintly see the line on the interior pic of the passenger seat.
I like the line for the white roof, I have hated every other attempt at white roofs that I have seen with the line going horizontal at the top of the pillar.

Interestingly, it's got the older style dash. Maybe it was a replacement dash to get rid of the airbags? But that's a lot of work.......
