70 Series Toyota Land Cruiser Event 2023 (Part Two): The Next Generation of Land Cruiser owners

Young, dumb, broke.
During the 70 Series Event I had the pleasure of meeting Johnathan, a young man living in Boone, NC with his girlfriend and 70 Series Land Cruiser. He's traveled the United States with his troopy and met a collection of incredible people who have all helped him along his journey. Support for his build and learning has almost entirely come from ih8mud.com as he's networked with others and figured a few things out along the way. Great to meet you, man! See you at the next one.
I didn't tell my girlfriend that I'd flipped the truck until I picked her up for a date. I still don't understand why she didn't just run away...
I was born at the turn of the century in 1999 which scares some people to think about- especially in a community largely populated by adult men. We youths seem to be a thorn in the side for some and a reminder of days gone by for others. I feel an obligation to the generations after my own to be as gracious and patient as possible- we will make many mistakes as we learn but if you ask me, I'd say that failure is the most effective teacher.
