Nice built 80 at QT in N. Phoenix

[RalphB]

Saw this while I was pumping gas. Guys name is Dave. Asked him if he knew about CSC and he did not. I directed him to the clubhouse area on MUD.

Dave is a veteran just got out of the Marines. He said his 80 participated in the Mongol Rally. A fund raiser where you drive from London to Mongolia. He also said hes part of a fund raising group and the next expedition/fundraiser will be a trek from Alaska to South America.

(PS. I think his is bigger than you know who's)

@RalphB Hey it was nice meeting you. I'm new to the Forum and this is my first rig, I've always been a fan of LC's and I was very excited when I had a chance to finally get one. Look forward to seeing what this forum is all about.

Also just to clarify, yes this rig participated in the Mongol Rally which started in Portugal and ended in Russia. This rig was a support vehicle for the Drive4Sight foundation and their rig and the next one is going to be in 2015 and will encompass a North America to South America trip. The previous owner was involved in the fund raising group not I, but I am a good friend of his and I am definitely going to try and make that next trip.

Hi mydciii and welcome the CSC forum. Do tell us more about your rig and next expedition/fundraiser. Also do you have a link to your past Mongolia rally?

 

[MisledYouth]

Here you go. I was going to buy this end of last year, and pointed Dave in it's direction so I could keep tabs on it

Edit: My deal included the glasses! SUCKER!

Scroll for trip blog.

@MisledYouth is the man responsible for getting me addicted to Land Cruisers! I've always been a fan because I've seen what they can do firsthand all over the world, but he gave me the final push to just go ahead and buy one. Cheers for that by the way mate!

@MisledYouth I wanted the glasses too but I believe they broke in Mongolia!

mydciii- rig looks great. I read a little about the rally, sounds like lots of fun and a bunch of characters. Any chance of people joining portions of the North America to South America run? I can't take the time off to do the whole thing. Oh, and welcome to the addiction.

 

[luzercruiser]

HELL YES THIS IS THE RALLY IM TRYING TO DO NEXT JULY2015

 

[mydciii]

@Funner When I get more information I'll make sure to let you know. @luzercruiser It certainly sounds like it would be epic doesn't it?

@LandCruiserPhil Yeah that was me coming out of REI. It's hard leaving that place without spending some cash. They had their garage sale going on.
