    It's been a great truck. It was my first car, paid 4400 for it. I hope I still have it at 400k. This weekend I'm going to work on fixing the steering unless it requires a new rack. I'm going to order a cat too if I find a cheap but decent one since the muffler shops want an ungodly amount of money to put one on.

    I dig the theme, and appreciate simplicity. But I'm a 2nd gen. Thanks for the invite. :thumbsup:

    But I'm so poor mine had one less lug per wheel. Saved $4 that way. So I'll just share my philosophy.

    It does everything I need. I don't need 4wd, I don't need lift, don't need big tars (although what I have are bigger than OE by 7%), don't need big tow or load capacity, don't need a full back seat. Don't need a fancy color to fret over, don't need color matched stuff. Just need simple, clean and functional.

    Hauls our bikes with $6 HF straps. Hauls 2 kayaks, rods and gear with ease. Hauls anything I want to mess with from HD or the bulk yard place.

    Gets great MPG on regular running at legal speeds. AC is cold and the simple jukebox plays better than my ears can distinguish.

    I'm glad I have it. No desire for fancier or new. I'd rather spend my $ on other life adventures than a depreciating thing that can be wiped out by a texting fool at any time.

    I call bullshit. Those are some fancy-ass wheels for a base model....... o_O

    I bet there's lots of 2nd gen owners who would trade you their power window luxury model for that old world swank.

    Regular cabs don't need blind spot monitoring because there are no blind spots, and I'm so poverty-spec I don't know what entune is.

    Not really. It's an SR5 that's a 2.7L 4wd without lockers. It's a manual: transmission, windows, door locks. I think the only "luxury" items are AC, CD/Tape stereo, extracab, and rear sliding window. Compared to the '89, it was luxurious. I upgraded to having carpet, power steering, and a clock. But the clock doesn't really count as it went out years ago.

    The '89 did have some nice American Racing rims w/ Coopers, a 6 disc changer, tinted windows, and slightly raked. That 22re was a badass engine, and matched with the manual tranny, it was quick & fun to drive. I still wish I had it.

    I'm sure a few would. I had a 2nd gen 06 TRD Off Road. Had every option. I really liked that truck. I got divorced and couldn't afford the payments so I sold it and bought this 96. I absolutely LOVE this truck. And the best thing is no payments!!

    It's aftermarket. Was in the truck when I bought it. Someone asked I post pics of it. Don't know any other details on it. I like it. Doesn't leak.

    Curious what makes yours SR5 vs my DLX then, if you have same motor, and your windows and doors are all manual. I have A/C in mine and the CD/Tape Stereo and sliding window.

    Does yours have at the white gauge cluster/tach, making it SR5?
