Advertise on podcast: Classic Land Cruisers

At the request of former guest and friend of the podcast Ryan Apple I invite Steven O'neill on to talk about his purpose built cruisers. From his Land Cruiser baby a 1964 Fj45, a 1976 Fj40, and his 2 Lexus Gx' ( a 100 series and a 250). All of his Land Cruiser addiction starting from getting invited to a Cruiser event.

After posting a picture of his 70 factory soft top at rattlesnake qulch I reached out to Hayden Villarreal to share the story of his family history of Land Cruisers. he tells me about how the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum literally dug his 40 out of a mine and eventually sold it to him.

John Kingston of Roaming Lost joins me this week to talk about his HDJ 81 that he has built up to be the vehicle of choice to help with his photography and video. He reminds me that sometimes all we need is man's best friend and windshield time to be content in a Land Cruiser

After scheduling chaos with my guest for this week I bring you a brief update with what has been happening with me, Uma, and in my own orbit. I wanted to give you something for this week. Next week will be back to more interesting guests and not my droning voice.

Jason Day of Slow Lane Cruisers joins me to talk about his Fj 40, 45, 62, and 100 series Land Cruisers are purpose driven none are babied. We talk about how some of the best times are those with good friends and Land Cruisers, also how our Land Cruisers are some of the best friends that we can ask for.

At the request of a friend and former guest of the podcast Onur I speak with John Watson. We talk about his love of right hand drive Land Cruisers, his travels through the western United States, and the rest of the world. We wax poetic about how we need to protect the land and be good stewards of wilderness and public lands

On this special Christmas episode I talk to Caleb Gordon about how the Land Cruiser that his parents brought him home from the hospital after he was born, became his Dad's Land Cruiser. Then after life typically happens he had to sell it but then was able to get it back and is now able to keep his promise to his own son Gabe that the 78 40 series will go to him when the time is right.

on this week's episode Robert Chestnut Roasted Chestnut on IH8MUD joins me to talk about his Fj55 that is getting the derustification treatment. We talk about how hard it is to remove rust but how easily it comes on.

Yet another guest from season one Leigh Evans comes back on to talk about how he went about doing a relatively easy LS swap on his 40 series, and how he is still trying to keep the beast subdued as to not draw too much attention to himself.

Peter Brusa comes back on to catch me up the progress that he has been having on his 40 series. I also wanted to get my honest review of driving his dream car the G43S from the FJ Company. We get a little side tracked with talk of "Wayne's World" which might lead to outsiders asking what is wrong with Land Cruiser heads.

After a listener mentioned Adam Woodiwiss to come on the podcast I reached out to him. Come to find out that his brother had a 40 series when he was younger then got one himself as an adult. Unfortunately the pinion up on that one and he later got another 40 that ended up having double frame frame reinforcements done because it had been used as a post hole digger turning the seat sideways and expanded metal on the passenger floor board to see the ground

Former guest and friend of the podcast joins me to let me experience how much different a 43 series can be. We talk about and take a drive in his new FJ Company G43S. The signature build by the the FJ Company with a 1GR v6 with a Magnuson super charger and 5 speed. I get to experience first hand the beauty, comfort and majestic potential a custom restoration can be.

This week Ben Lowry joins me to talk about his Bj74 that is not to be mistaken for a mail truck. Also how a chance encounter in a parking lot sparked a lasting friendship over an fj55

Lee Lim the man behind solvfunction and cruisin 2 camp comes on to talk about his 80 series how he tipped at cruise Moab, helping out a rally team. Also how his wife felt kind of jealous nick-naming his 80 the mistress.

Kevin Rudisill joins me to talk about how his Fj40 and Fj62 get him into the places to fish in West Virginia. And when that distance is too far he likes to fly to the remote fishing areas. We also discuss the pitfalls of 3 speed transmissions.
