We were getting on so well, for so very long.
Chances are it will not be crushed but the time is this country is running out.
The latest lies from LC-America:
I wonder if any of these companies are aware that LC America is using their names to try and gain credibility?
Why don't they mention they were recently booted from TLCA?
The funnies part, "We spoke the truth at every turn." Oh man, I had to pick myself up off the floor after laughing so hard.

Interesting that he specifically called out Steve using language that could open himself to a successful lawsuit ....
A couple of things from his comments:
- “collaborated” is a very broad term. If I call XYZ company and say “I’d like to buy a bumper for my 80 Series, what do you recommend?” That could be construed as “collaboration”.
- I’m a bleeding heart, hippie, liberal, feminist BUT his wife didn’t take his last name. Why?
- So now its a 2017 model instead of a 2016?
- Too busy to respond to emails or phone calls BEFORE they have your money? I’m in sales, when people want to buy, I answer my phone. I’m never too busy to accept money.
- The old saying “if you’re explaining, you’re losing”
- it bugs the s*** out of me that they call it a “LC79”. It’s like calling a Land Cruiser a “FJ”.

Kind of reminds me of something I deduced from life a long time ago. If I find myself being defensive, I may not be so sure of my position in the first place. I'm sort of talking myself into my position as well as trying to talk someone else into it...
Yep. If I have to try to convince you then I am also trying to convince myself...

Given 4xoverland.com.au was mentioned in the above email posted to public, and people asking about companies mentioned in this, I thought I should respond. I can only speak about any involvement from our side, to be fair, and cant comment on the other companies who are listed above.
Given there were confidentiality agreements in place, i A/ need to be careful, and B/ an surprised based on those agreements, between the companies, that we have been put into a broadcast about this without prior consent, though there isnt anything overly secretive about what is in that email so far.
I will start by saying that some initiatives take lots more time and money than can be anticipated, and many large projects cant get off the ground without some industry support, engineering, and involvement to see what can be possible. I was contacted to have a meeting, and discussions, to see what could be possible, and our knowledge on these vehicles and Toyotas in general. We offered assistance where required, design ideas, supplied some parts that were required for the testing process.
At that time, it appeared that things were progressing, and we decided we would offer some support, and be on the ground floor for the process, to see if a cool idea could be realized. Not quite inventing fire, or the electric light globe, but if possible, a cool Cruiser option, I am sure many would agree.
With the components envisioned to be included, if the testing gets approval, and vehicles can be supplied, they will be a very nice vehicle in the niche market for those who want them.
Not unlike an Icon 4X4 Fj series set up, FJ ute program with Aquala Industries body, etc for those who just want one.
If the technology passes, but it is to big a task for the company spending on it right now, I would imagine the process may be able to be picked up by a company who has importing and vehicle preparation down. I would see the 79 as a niche into the USA market as a good thing. These are purely my thoughts on such a project, based on experience in other areas, I might add. Sometimes the value is in the technology, for the embryonic people in the process, rather than the actual 'go and supply to market" .
We are currently at a point of waiting for proof of concept, [testing pass] and purchase orders on the parts required for who ever and when ever this may become a reality.
We wish everyone involved the best of luck, and hope 79s in the USA become a success, and small businesses with big ideas continue to work toward inventing and supplying things that make peoples hobbies better.
Who ever they are, and where ever they are.

Just saw this shared to a Land Cruiser facebook page I'm on:
" This specific vehicle was used for baseline EPA testing and has seen little road use. It is being sold as it is being replaced with 2019 model for additional testing. Our testing exemption for this unit expires July 2019. THIS UNIT IS FOR EXPORT ONLY!!!! What you do with it after export is up to you. Will be placed on auction if not sold on this venue (which I do not expect it to) $60,000 USD DELIVERED"

I've tried contacting John Papp twice now and haven't heard back about where they are with the project. Will be interesting to see if in fact a 2019 makes its way across the ocean. On a positive note, they finally got the wheels mounted.
