Nope, first time to Maui. Have a time share on the Big Island so wev'e been their a couple times already but wanted to check out the other Islands so Maui's next on our list (was in Oaho many years ago) Nice to see I can get first hand info from a local brother, can't get any better than that. Look forward to hooking up.

I just returned this morning from a week in Maui. Didn't see one EB when I was there, which was surprising. Spent most of my time in Kihei, but also went up to Lahaina, Kahului, and Wailuku.

Just got back from Maui and spotted a couple that drove past me. A half cab headed towards Kaupo or the backway to Hana and a shiny one with a hardtop in Paia. Both spotted by my wife, she's faster at spotting them then me now.

I just got back from the big island 2 months ago. Saw a beautiful original 74ish uncut original everything. Looked like it had just left showroom floor but not restored looking...you guys know what I mean. Was at a little store at the split of the road that goes up into the Kona coffee district. A gentleman in his 60s and his wife got in it and left before I could grab my phone and get a pic. I had left it in my car. I saw 2 others up in the coffee area, a nice yellow one and a lime green one under an overhang being worked on. The green one is on craigslist for sale right now I believe.

Spent last week in Maui. Hooked up with a brother, "mauibronco" and had a nice chat and some pics (pic 1-3) of his beautiful half cab. Some of the nicest door lines and one of a kind paint choices I've seen. Also got to meet up and chat with wayno (not a CB member) and a couple pics (pics 4 and 5) of his rigs. Also saw this black one (pic 6) for sale ($36k) not a 36k truck IMO but very nice nonetheless and a fifth rig (pic 7) on our last day on the Island.
Special thanks to mauibronco for providing us with the island tips and his great hospitality.

What a beautiful breathtaking Island. Logged over 1k miles on the rental Heep and cruised some killer roads.

He had it repainted as you can see. I forgot the color he mentioned but I think he said it was a Subaru paint code.
