Nice 100 series, Adam! What year is it 2002 or 2003? Clean examples are getting harder and harder to find!
Thanks man! It's a 2002 1 it needs some some
TLC - and a pretty aggressive service appointment before being driving to the Meet up in Austin, but other than the interior needing some refreshing, it's pretty solid.Was a one owner, dealer serviced, and accident free. Perhaps a true unicorn lol [emoji23]

Sorry for the lack of updates lately guys, been a busy last few days:
I've been working trying to refresh in the interior of the Land Cruiser - 15 years had taken its toll on the carpeted surfaces
Freshly cleaned
Gotten really behind in work since I had a few employees out the last few days, so I've been trying to play catch up on my marketing work and keep the gym running at the same time…
Did manage to get new furniture for our lobby at the gym - nice change and the clients are really happy about it
Thanks for hanging with me again!

@Appfaff pm me your paypal, I would like to buy you a cheap beer that you do not enjoy for your outstanding tour coverage ;D, but I'm serious.
should really consider tiered tour prizes for best participation or something, it would/could/might encourage folks to put more into their month with the denims

Sorry for the few day lull - this time of year is CRAZY busy for me.
Here are some pics I've snapped over the last few days!
This is Jen (my partner's wife) getting her first strict muscle up:
This is "John" - you can infer what his job is by his appearance probably…
View from the beach - we have a photo shoot next Friday for some lifestyle images for marketing use and have been scouting out properties for some shots we want to get.
One of my coach's and her husband have a cabin in upstate Georgia and brought me back some beer from their local brewery up there:
Been touching up some rock chips in the LC and learning how to "wet sand" - I'm terrible but getting better:
After touch up paint:
After wet sand
Not sure it made any difference lol [emoji23]Bonus pic of the 192
BONUS: you don't always choose the Jeep life, sometimes the "JEEP life" chooses you:
Thanks again for hanging with me!

The family and I have been sick for the last few days, so I’m sorry but not really any updates… but I have managed to snag a few pics over the last few days of things happening here and there.
First off was fixing the tear in the LC steering wheel - I’ll be getting a new kit eventually, but went with a $40 Fix for the meantime:
Before:
Main damage
After:
I didn’t fill in the wedge, mainly because I didn’t want to add any more “fuck ups” to the plan lol - I may redo it and cut the original leather off with just enough of the spoke leather intact to look presentable, but I’m going to drive around and let this leather stretch first
Kids were feeling better yesterday while Mom was crazy sick we we watched cartoons while I cleaned the house from 3 days of havoc
Another Land Cruiser project is the cigarettes burns out of the carpet - I swear the dude before me was the Marlboro man, so I’ve been cleaning he carpets and headliners and it’s not really smelling like a smoked in truck anymore, but there are some burns on the carpet, figured I’ll be getting new floor mats soon anyways, so I tried a trick I saw on you tube on one set.
The burn:
You scrape the razor along the carpet to get some clean “fibers” and then you super glue them into the hole… kinda ghetto but it actually kinda worked lol
Today everyone is feeling better so it’s back to normal I think lol
Cheers

Yesterday was pretty much back to normal, so figured I’d get a whole day in:
Drive to mobile to do some work at my favorite coffee shop:
Went to go get an oil change in the Cruiser (Free WiFi at auto shops is something I’ll never get used to haha)
Went and got my favorite lunch - rare steak and Vietnamese meatball pho
Fun Fact : just outside of Mobile is Bayou La Batre - it is a small fishing town and a TON of Vietnamese families move here for the industry. Because of this, we have a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in town. This one is more traditional so it brings a nice mix of working class and professional families together - most after church
Oh yeah… Mobile and Seattle go back and forth every year for the rainiest city award... it was so bad yesterday that I couldn’t go to the Spring Hill College library, but had to drive home
Cool old (not super old) Range Rover
Then I started out the rainy window for 4 more hours!!
Hope everyone had a Great weekend!

Ok guys, sorry for the lack of updates over the last week - we are in major crunch time for our annual Travel
Magazine and my family
Getting sick didn’t help me get ahead of schedule…But alas, here’s what’s been happening in my hood for the last few days!
We got 5 live oaks planes along our front yard. Hopefully it makes our house look less like “pleasantville” and a little more “mature” as they grow
My clients new truck - this one is pretty cool - Eco Diesel Limited 1500 - it’s super nice
Came home and had dinner and some whiskey
The next day i has an early morning at the gym - some of my athletes hitting the workout
Had some taco soup and cheap beer [emoji12]
Had an Italian hoagie - it was good
The twins eating snacks at the gym this afternoon
BONUS: was up late building a website for a personal trainer kicking off her business a few miles down the road from me. I’m no graphic designer, but I (and she) was pleased with how her logo turned out.
Thanks for hanging!
