Alia,
You maybe correct, I may be confused but I could have sworn he did a Dmax swap in an 80... Still the man has skills, and has fabbed some awesome rigs, bling or not.

Not my style but definitely great craftsmanship.
I like it, Alan does some amazing work. I wish I could find some info on his old lt1 on airbag suspension 80 that he did back in the 90's.
so.... which forum would it be on?
I like it too - while taste is subjective, I really get bored of cookie-cutter cars & would enjoy having something built that retained factory reliability but had that "something different" that would make it all its' own.
Sure, we could all play "internet dectective" & pick apart the title status, or whatever bugs you / isn't to your taste, but in reality how many of all of us saw something, big or small that we each would incorperate into each of ours "dream 80" - I dig the tilt cowl, the way it looked like the spare carrier integrated into the exo cage - and the design of the exo cage up front at the A pillar.
There are things that might not be exactly as each of us would fabricate -- but being one of Podvin's creations it represents everything from large concepts to small details that I know I would personally integrate into my 80 - especially once I've got some rash on all the panels.
Like Onur said - If I was well-heeled to the tune of cash outlay for a "Dream Cruiser" - Podvin would be my 1st stop too.
That A pillar exo cage design will probably be my inspiration / basic design if I ever do a exo - and I've been eyeing a dead wrecked Toy 4WD Xtra cab down my street.

First off, my job requires thick skin so I don't mine the honesty about the vehicle. No hard fellings.
Well, I like it and I didn't pay 30,000. for it. It was either this thing or a new taco or tundra. I liked it better than both and since 70,000 miles is like brand new for a LC I went for it. Its worth what someone will pay for it and I wasn't the only one trying to buy it.
Cruisertom911- I don't have more money than sense. I'm now flat broke with at least a little sense. I mean it is a LC.
99uzjay- I don't know about the 40th thing. It has the auto climate control, dual tone trim on the doors, but like you said the leather is mono tone. The Badge # is 3681. Is their a positive way to tell?
Adicted56- I will wheel it, but probably no crawling. I’ll get something more aesthetically repairable if the rock bug bites.
Atticus- I got the geo metro three cylinder conversion put in so I can tow my kids in their wagon around the yard. Seriously though, I don't have anything to tow so I wasn't too worried about it.
To everyone who thinks Alan Podvin's skills are amazing
I agree completely.
In the trucks future, ARB lockers, EMU heavy suspension, dual battery set up, roof rack, and more lights. Current picures in the 80 registry pg.32. I can't upload any more pictures right now. https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/218093-80-series-registry-32.html#post5871870
