Hey all,

Well then what happened...????
Everyone seems to be here all over sudden....
Thanks Matt for the link... at least I found the place...
Looks nice here and I think I like it....
Although most of you know me here a introduction again....

I was Born in Holland from a Dutch mum and an Irish dad (yes it can be worse I am sure) After travelling the world for a while I ended up in the UK and I am still here nearly 5 years later.... I now also have a little off-road muppet in the making who will be 1 this April....
You guessed it.... I love off-roading.....

I used to do it for a job in Aussie... driving this:

I could not afford a LC when I got to the UK so settled for a few lovely Surfs.. I am sad to say tho I have killed 2 Hilux Surfs in a year.... May they rest in pieces in my shed... (not really my fault, engine blew on one and cambelt on the other) So after killing the second one I decided that this was a good excuse to get another LC.......
Ever since the last one went I have wanted another one....

So in July last year I picked up my LC.... low mileage... yes even lower than now...

Planned mods on short notice:
Snorkel and some nice 33"s
Galvanising of chassis, trailer arms etc...
Then much more as we go.......

I used to make vinyl cut stickers for a living but only do it as a hobby now...

anyway that is about it....

Here a couple pics of the truck.....

Hello Toby and welcome on board!

Perhaps you've seen the excitement (debate?) on stickers in the Lounge section and you could give us some advice? :mrgreen:

Cheers,
 
Welcome!
Some nice pics there.

You still make stickers then? Wish I had known that this morning. Just placed an order for some club stickers. Have some more though (graphic) which I plan on ordering. ;)


Cheers,
Crispin

Hey mate,
Long time no speak... (on the other place that is..)
I have not had internet for a while lol so I missed everyone going here...
Thanks on the pic's...
I do have all the equipment still yes and do make the odd sticker for "friends"...
