Classic Land Cruisers

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.
