New here

[firedog90]

Hey everybody. New here from Wichita. I didn't see an introduction section so figured I'd post in here. I've lurked on here for a couple months and finally got around to registering. I don't own a cruiser but have been looking for one I can use on trails and hunting. I use to be into offroading. I have a 72 Jimmy and a 73 Bronco. More recently I've been doing some racing. I have a twin turbo'd 03 Cobra and a 91 Coupe. I'm hoping to find an 80 soon. This is a great site and has a wealth of great information.

Welcome, and good luck finding an 80. There is a heavy duty one for sale now down in Ok, from a member that had frequented our events.... Here is a link. Good guy to introduce yourself to also, as he has a wealth of info on these.

Thanks. That's the one I have my eye on. I've pm'd him. Going to give him a call tomorrow.

Thanks for the reference - He drove home with it today! For what he's planning on using it for, it aught to work out quite well.

Welcome, and contrats on the new to you Lexus! Hope you see you out on the trails.

I'm excited to have it home. Thanks again Heath. Where do you guys go around this area? I'm guessing nothing is in the Wichita area.

I don't know of anything really close to Wichita, but there is Tuttle Creek in Manhattan,KS, Disney, OK, and KS Rocks at Ft Scott that are not too far from you.

I've heard of Tuttle Creek and Disney. I haven't been to either of them though. My friends went to Disney last weekend. I think some friends are going up to Tuttle Creek here soon.

I'd like to make it down there. I have some buddies with Jeeps that go down there.

If I don't go back to Cali during that time I will try to make it.

The big meat run is this weekend.

On the one hand it's a goog oportunity to shock some people how capable a lexus is (last year we had three LX450's and a LC80 wheeling together there). On the other hand it's a good way to start thinking, humm.. 37's are kinda small. I'm half contemplating going over just to watch (The Passat doesn't have lockers).
