Yessir! It’s been greatly enjoyed. Last year was phenomenal. 30’000 hard kms on it later, and it had no major issues. I live and work in Illinois now, so it got to spend summer 2025 in the Midwest. We visited southern cruiser crawl in Arkansas, Tall corn cruisers in Iowa, badlands in Indiana and many other places. It’s lived to tell the tale and only has some light scratching to show what it’s accomplished.
Next project has already started and mid way through. 15B-FT in an 80 series Landcruiser Chinook. Heavily inspired by the late Toyota World Runners. I have a YouTube channel for it!

I need to post another video as so much has happened since my last upload, but I’m constantly putting in long hours to make headway. I really appreciate everyone’s support here. The 40 is away for the year as my insurance is quite expensive being so young. Focusing the cash and time on building the next project!
