Tho at sumbitch in ayer!
Kinda like a backup plan?
Hey Guys,
James Cameron, I grew up in Drayton Valley (about 120k west and a bit south of edmonton), moved to edmonton about 12 years ago.
DieselDaryl introduced me to RHD LC's with his 87, and I've been hooked ever since. Mine is a 90 HDJ81 that I brought in from Japan. I have done some upgrades (2.5" OME life, 33" rubber, ARB, Winch, remote start, espar heater) but have only done a bit of wheelin. Hope to do a bunch more this summer, and having this group here should help!
I'm an electronics geek and sell / install high end home theaters, home automation (smart home systems), and multi room sound systems.
Looking forward to a wing night now that I know your all here!
James

I agree it is great to see a LandCruiser clubhouse forming in edmonton, hi my name is Rod Mcpherson i was raised in Nova Scotia and have been living in Alberta now for ten years, My daily driver is a white 1988 BJ74, i also have a 78 FJ45 with no motor/tranny and lots of rust. Been into landcruisers for years my father had a BJ60 growing up. look forward to beer and wings. Take Care
Howdy! I'm Spencer, 18 years old. My father is the original owner of a 1985 BJ60. Growing up though the years, I have always wanted his truck, but I realized he will never sell it. It's in showroom condition, looks like the day it rolled off the lot. I don't know what it is about these trucks, something about them I just can't get over. My dreams came true when I picked up a 1987 HJ60 off a farmer east of Adrossan a couple months back. It has a completely rebuilt motor with about 30k on it now, along with an OME lift and 33''s, soon to be 35''s. I love the truck to death. I also drive a turbo'd 1985 Toyota Corolla GTS that I use for drifting.
Hopefully I can get out to one of the next upcoming meets and get to meet a few of you guys.

looken forward to a wing/beer night or any activity...i know basically nobody in town, let alone cruiser heads so i was pretty stoked to find your forum here. anyways, ill toss up a pic of the truck i got here.
would be interested in any chance to wheel it on weekends

Nice to have you aboard Guy. If the 42 in the pic is representative of the condition of all your trucks, I'm jealous.... Heck, even if only it is that clean I'm still jealous. 
The next wing/beer night will likely be in around the 23rd, a few of us just got back from a long weekend trip, but I think we have a hankering for more trail time, and there are more that are Jonesing for something more local and paint friendly.... so hopefully we can get out again before the snow starts to fly.

haha...she's got her issues, some rust going through in the floor boards and i need to make new seat frames at some point in the future...im without pretty much all of my tools for the time being though...till i go back to BC in the summer. but she gets me from A-B.
Im game for pretty much anything that might be capable inna stocker, not really concerned about paint however i cant go breaking axles shafts, birfs ect on every outing as i just dont have tools or space to do major work on my truck...i will be checking this section often as i can...hopefully before snow flies...even after maybe, just be bloody cold!
that truck probably in the best shape of my 2 1/2 trucks, the floor boards on my FJ40/bush truck look like a patchwork quilt and the 45 that my dad and i own is in dire need of a frame off, problem being we already have his BJ42 stripped down to a rolling chasis so...yea
looken forward to some beer and wings for sure

That BJ42 is gorgeous. I always love going to BC every summer, it seems everywhere I go I'm pointing out every Land Cruiser I see. I'm in NAIT as well, taking business year 1. You may end up seeing my hj60 around campus sometime.

ya, ill keep an eye out for it for sure. where abouts in BC do you go to every summer? i seem to see a fair number around on the island...
Every year our family slowly make its way from Edmonton to the Peachland area, usually stopping in Cranbrook, Nelson, Revelstoke just to name a few places. Some years we go as far as Vancouver. I spent a bit of time early this year in Parksville/Naniamo visiting and doing some skiing. It's amazing how on the island I could ski, mountain bike, and ocean kayak all in the same day. I absolutely love B.C., especially around Nelson; I plan to move out there as soon as I'm done my schooling here.

If you want to make it out for a wing night (or some light wheeling etc.) feel free to suggest what times/days work best.
