Our History
The history of Urban Land Cruisers L.L.C. is simple...
a hobby gone bad.
Years ago David had a Jeep and a few friends with
Jeeps and Scouts. David worked a little on them and the other cars
he owned at the time. He traveled quite a bit in South America and
fell in love with Land Cruisers while there. Eventually he moved
to Ecuador. Upon arrival there were no Cruisers David could afford
so he ended up with a 1973 Series III 88 Land Rover. As we all know,
you can't just own one, so he also bought a 1969 Series IIA 109.
David made many friends with Rover-owners and worked and hung around
Rover shops while living there.
When returning to the United States, the plan was
to buy more Rovers, but funds were low. So he purchased a basket-case
1973 FJ 40 and began a rolling resto on it. Soon after, David bought
another 40, then his first 55. Between David and a few friends an
empire amassed of Cruisers and parts. It was not long before his
ex-wife threatened to kick him out of the house if he didn't get
all that Cruiser crap out of the backyard. He got his first shop.
During this time, David was working full-time
in different jobs in the entertainment industry eventually becoming
head lighting designer for Jaguar N.A. for all of their International
Auto Shows. Part of the year, he would work on Cruisers, part on
his "real" job. The shop grew and they ended up moving
to another location. He would do jobs for friends, but far from
full-time. Eventually, David was the only one left in the shop as
all his friends moved on.
Then, in 2002, he realized that he could just not
stand his "real" job anymore, so he went into Cruisers
full-time.
A hobby gone bad.
