I've built a few 40's and I've always liked the 70 Series, so I decide the time was right to pick one up. Many thanks to @SteveJackson at Land Cruisers Direct for answering a million questions and helping me decide on a truck. I bought the HZJ73 in February of 2016 from Land Cruisers Direct and it landed at my place a few weeks later. Steve was awesome to deal with and I am really enjoying the truck. I was concerned about registering it in California, but to be honest it was a very simple process. This truck will be my daily driver and weekend warrior for easy camping and fishing trips. I already have a dedicated trail rig for the Rubicon weekends. Anyway... I have a fair amount to learn about the 70 Series, but I intend to keep this thread current as I learn and improve the truck.
Here are a few pictures of the truck on the day it arrived.
