Wow, your 80 is badass! Do you ever go to Rancho SM? I thought I saw a built-up, gold 80 like yours there a few weeks ago.

 

[Eric Mendez]

Cant recall going to RSM. But im all over town. Think someone has one similar to mine. My co-workers have spotted one thinking it was me a few times.

No mods yet. Just finished getting it running well and reliable.

Hope to do a light build on it for camping trips. Currently saving up for paint and body work.

I've been an X-ray tech for a while now. Been working with pediatrics for the majority of my career. Just switched over to a dedicated orthopedic surgery center.

I'm married with 3 kids. I usually take my son Lukas out with me to go camping. He loves the Land Cruiser!

Aloha! My son-in-law usually has the pleasure of driving my 80 around OC, but for much of the Spring I will have it for adventuring. I keep my 80 on the US mainland when I am off in Hawaii (where I live most of the year), but while I am here I like to get some use out of it.
