INTERVIEW #04

I think it was about two years after I bought my Land Cruiser 80.
We went to Snow Attack in his car and saw a mustard-colored 40 in front of us, which is how we bought the 40.
"I love this car!" I want this car too!" I want this car too!
I liked the combination of the snowy landscape and the mustard-colored 40.
I was like, "This is so cool!"
When I bought the 80, I was saying to people around me, "I want it, I want it," and I came across it, so that's why I said I wanted the 40 as well (laughs).

I like both 40 and 80. If I had to choose one or the other, it would be very difficult.
Basically 80 to go to work because I like 80.
But when it's sunny, it's 40. 40 might be better if you just enjoy the ride.
I'm on the 40 because I was on the 80, and I'm not getting off the 80 because I bought the 40.

What I like about being in Land Cruiser is that I get to meet more people and connect with them more deeply.
I also organize events, such as the LCM (Land Cruiser Meeting), which is a rotating event, and the 40 Meeting East, which is held in Shizuoka.
People who love Land Cruiser come together, and it is truly a fun experience.
I want to continue this kind of activity in the future because I want to have a long relationship with my car. This is a feeling I did not have when I was driving other cars.

I like white wheels and this is a non-negotiable.
The 80 I bought wore a gunmetal Bradley V, but I went to the trouble of changing it to white.
I had heard that the Bradley V was the right size to put 750 tires on, and many people around me were wearing this size (5.5J, inset ±0) and I liked the look of it.
I like the design of Bradley V.
I like each spoke to be thicker than the other, because all the wheels I use have five spokes.
