Dan Simpson
Classic Land Cruisers
I talk about my classic land cruiser and the projects I am going through. I talk to other cruiser heads about their rigs getting to know the stories of these unique pieces of automotive history. Every cruiser has a story and every owner has a story, I love hearing about how they come together. It is my mission to hear how those stories come together. We hear about off-roading adventures of triumph and mishaps. The mountains are calling, and I must go.
