I love my turd gen

This is probably my 4th toyota 4x4 pu, owned a 1st gen that I kick myself getting rid of to this day and a few 22re trucks but this is my first brand new vehicle ever.

I'll admit I kind of blindly bought it, I was into jeeps for a while and was considering the new jl but they are having big time issues. Anyway, didnt really do any research in the 3rd gen, figured I had toyota trucks and they were all great so why not.

In the beginning, dare I say I almost hated my truck, nothing was terribly wrong with it except for the obvious complaints but even that didnt bother me too much, I just didnt love my truck and considered biting the bullet and trading it in for a 4 runner.

Fast forward shy of 11 months and 17k miles later, I fell in love with my truck lol. It just looks mean and sexy for one and it's like a Billy goat on the trails even with its stock tires.

Theres something about owning a truck, a pickup not an suv that makes me feel like me. I'm a blue collar guy who works with my hands so I'll always be a pickup truck guy, dont get me wrong I love the 4runner and if I ever get married I hope my wife has one to drive the kiddos around in but just wanted to say I finally love my truck lol.

 

LOVE MY SPORT 3rd GEN!!!

 

Yes, it’s a good truck.

 

Nice avatar. I used to race with WERA & CCS many years ago. I still have the X-rays to prove it

 

I did wera and wsmc back in the day too lol

 

I've always been a car guy, but have had wagons that I treated like trucks. Finally got a Tacoma and have wondered why I didn't get a pickup a lot sooner.

 

Woohoo fellow riders!

I’m just a trackday enthusiast. Can only imagine how expensive racing (tires) can be.

 

Can't wait to hit the track this year. I mounted a Pitbull TRS in the bed so it will be fairly easy to get the R6 locked in.

 

Very nice. R6 is what I raced at Daytona.

 

I had a sv650 and honda rs125

 

TRS in the bed?? Pics!

Long bed?

 

No sir, in a short bed. It fits....barely. I can take a pic of it mounted later today but I would be too lazy to get a pic of the bike on it until the first track day when it warms up.

 

Actually. Just take a look at this thread. I did the same thing:

I started with an '88 4runner, then an '01 1st gen Tacoma TRD OR, then I bought my '18 Tacoma TRD Sport last July and I love her as much, if not more now, than the first time we locked eyes.

 

They are good trucks. It took a while for me to fall in love with my truck too. But I love it now.

 

On topic, I think my truck is pretty cool too.

 

I was just at the track this weekend

 

Jennings?

 

Yes! You been?

 

I love my 3rd Gen Sport, 2 wheel drive .
