Yet another one of the SAS networking contacts comes on this episode to talk about his foray into cruiser ownership where he had to get a "forced upgrade" to a 1980 Fj43 with the long jump seats to accommodate his family. He has had some growing pains with it but has ended up with a 6L LS motor. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

I am able to meet up with first season guest Kurt Williams who has recently had one of the best cruiser centered summers.

On this week's episode on short notice Richard "Broski" came on to talk about how yes 80 series Land Cruisers can be made into rock crawlers on 39" tires despite the image of a "mommy and me soccer vehicle." his 80 is so well built that it can take on Fordyce and Johnson Valley home of King of the Hammers.

Duke McKoy and I come together to talk about how he got into his 80 series.  We also talk about what these old Land Cruisers mean to us and how they can be the perfect antidote to an unstoppable mind.  that sometimes we don't need to know everything right now and if we take a brake sometimes the answers to the problems almost resolve themself.

After getting the hype for Cruise Her, a female drivers only event, held every year during Solid Axle Summit I speak with run organizer Chanette McKibbons again, this time to see how well Cruise Her did.  This year being their largest turn out to date, with 13 vehicles and 2 groups of pure female empowerment.  Even stopping at the top of the trail to share refreshing popcicles together.

For yet an other SAS episode I talk to Tim and Alicia about their experiences at Solid Axle Summit.  The first time that they came was before kids and the second time was with both of their kids.  We talk about how it is perfectly fine to be generational cruiser heads, Alicia growing up with cruisers and Tim being raised in a Toyota home. Now they have an 80, a 40 and a 60.  They are planning on bringing their kids back for more Solid Axle Summits and passing down the cruisers to their kids. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
