Your First Toyota Truck and your current Truck

on your 2nd gen.....which tires & size?

 

Looking at those pictures I see a mid size truck and a full size truck.

I like the smaller one. Svelte is cool.

 

1978 FJ40 with 400hp SBC, 1988 4x4 PU, 1993 PU, 1994 4x4 PU, 1998 4x4 Tacoma, 2001 Ivan Stewart Edition Tundra, 2013 Tundra Rock Warrior, 2021 Tacoma Off Road. Yeah, I've had a few... only have pictures of a couple of them.

 

First one was a 1976 baby shit green regular cab with 7' box. Not sure if it was 2 or 2.2 liter engine. Current one is 2011 extended cab 4 cyl. 5 speed.

 

Not my first but the first i could find any photos of. 1987 Sr5 xtra cab

My current 2016 sport .

 

First and only Toyota so far. 2016 DCSB MT Sport 4x4 in magnetic gray. Added tint and roof rack. Awesome truck. If I traded today it would only be for a Tundra in the gray or maybe quicksand.

 

1981, 2004 & 2020. I still have the last two trucks.

 

99' taco 5sp manual 4x4 that I bought new. Got rid of it for a new 04 access cab silver off road v6 5 spd manual. Then I had a kid so in 06 i bought a new tundra double cab v8 4x4 which I still have and that kid born in 05 is about to drive as his daily..... Bought a 20' offroad v6 6spd manual last august in preparation of my oldest taking my tundra.

 

Also had a couple of Tundras and a T100.
This was my favorite of them all.

My first Toyota was a (no photo) [/ATTACH] [/ATTACH] 79 Blue 4x4 7 ft bed, second was a 1982 tan/porsche red 7ft bed, third was a 1988 burgandy 7 ft bed 4x4, latest is a 06 Tacoma 4x4 TRD OR access 6.1 ft bed. Wanting a new 4th gen, can wait, only got 181,000 on the 06.

 

1987 Tan Regular Cab Turbo Pickup with 5 speed

in between there where 6 other Toyota pickups

2020 Quicksand Tacoma DC TRD OR

 

First was this one....1984 pickup, blue single cab long bed. Not mine, but same one.



Then drove around one of these for a while (gifted to me by the old man when I was on hard times).

1984 GMC Jimmy 6.2l diesel.



Then when I could afford it, back to Toyota....



Drove that amazing truck for 20 years. Picked up this one 4 years ago.



This one will likely be my last (at least I'm planning it that way. Keeping miles low, setting it up for my retirement "gettin' out there" rig). Oh, it may go at some point in favor of a Tundra as I age, or god forbid if it gets totaled and needs replacement, but the plan right now is to ride this one off into the sunset. If it stays reliable. Hoping for a good 20 more years service out of this one.

Had a few cars along the way....all Toyotas with the exception of a BMW back in 88 thru 91 while stationed in Germany, and another BMW not long ago when I was leaving the Gen1 parked for outdoors only duties due to advanced age and mileage.

Always been Toyota loyal. When I could. Given the choice, I wouldn't drive anything else. Had I millions in the bank, there would still be a Toyota in the drive (though it might be a kick assed mint fully reconditioned FJ40 or FJ43!).

Have a fondness for Toyotas and BMW's. Both excellent, quiet, well put together vehicles. Difference between Toyota and BMW's though is the Toyota is reliable. Loved the road feel and build quality of the Bimmers, but reliable they were not.

 

First Toyota was a brand new 1984 red 4x4 ExTra Cab with a 5speed and straight-4 22R motor. Had a straight front axle, locking hubs, no air conditioning and an am/fm radio. Drove it off the lot for $7,200.
Last Toyota (probably) is a brand new 2021 red 4x4 Access Cab with a 6 speed and 6cyl.
The little 84 went to - at the time - West Germany with me when I got stationed there. I drove it - with a crazy amount of paperwork - to West Berlin and then through Check Point Charly to east Berlin. Man you would have thought I landed from Mars in that thing in East Berlin.
I drove it to Switzerland, France, Austria, Lichtenstein and Luxembourg.
I have only just begun the adventures with the new one but I know it will also take me as far and as wide on the North American continent as I can go.
Hope you all have fun adventures too...
Happy Motorin'
