Alabama thread!

Right after my freshman year at Auburn, I moved home for the summer. I found a 95(in 1998) with a diesel. The guy wanted to rake me over the coals on my 95 T4R. One buddy has one with over 300K and he's ragged the shit out of it. The other buddy's still looks new. He's a bit OCD with taking care of his vehicles.

 

We have one of these at the shop, got it for the towing bill, it black.

 

Morning, Only 2 weeks and 5 days till cruise

 

Ive only ever owned Toyota's. Probably all ill ever buy lol

 

Pics? And is it for sale? Do I get the friends/family discount? Or do I just pay the tow bill?

Sup Brian

I've owned 1 Ford(65 Mustang), 1 Chevy(93 S10 Blazer), a few Jeeps(TJ, GC, Waggie) and Toyotas(T4R and Taco). It amazes me when Jeep people talk shit about Toyota and Toyota people talk shit about Jeep when they have no clue about the other brand. I had 215K miles on my TJ(190K on my GC) and would still be driving it had it not been totaled. It did get me into the Tacoma....so it wasn't a total loss.

 

Good morning Brian.

 

I'm not sure, it needs a transmission, I'll get some pictures when I leave.

 

I had no clue you could buy suture kits as a citizen. Don't know how well I'd trust this kit, but interesting though.

Amazon.com: ASA TECHMED 20 PC U.S. Military Style Surplus Emergency Survival Kit - Bleed CONTOL Kit - Military Style First Aid Kit - Molle Pouch : Sports & Outdoors

 

We have a couple of those sets.

 

I had no clue the average person could buy that stuff

 

Amazon sells all kinds of stuff that will amaze you. Last I checked you can buy the 3M liquid stitch and a wound staple gun lol

 

Love the staple guns I need to grab one out of our Pyxis

 

I should start a side biz by building first-aid kits from our stock

Sutures, staple guns, finger/ankle splints, ace, coban, tegaderm, mastisol we got'em


The best are the unused blue OR towels. If they don't use them in the suture kit, we have to throw them away. I take them as shop rags

 

This Tacoma is the first Toyota I have owned and I don't think i will ever be able to not have one again lol

I have had a 92 chevy C1500 short bed single cab with a V6, 82 4x4 chevy, a 99 honda accord, 2002 chevy 3500, a 74 international scout, 98 ex cab ranger, 98 S10 and then my Tacoma

Still have all of them except the 3500, the accord and the ranger

 

Buddy of mine is a nurse, Used to work in ICU and kept us a stock pile of crap incase we needed it lol. He works home health now and cant get all the good stuff any more.

 

My dad still has his 91 Chevy stepside that he bought new. It's also got the 4.3. He's got over 300K on it and it's still going.

 

That was my first truck my parents bought me. When I bought my 3500 I let dad have the 92, He sold it to a buddy of his that ran a body shop. Several years later that guy stripped it, smoothed out all the body work and primed it. I had always told him I wanted it back if he ever got ready to sale it. Then about 5 years ago we went to his shop to drop off another truck and he threw me the keys to it. Turns out him and dad had done some trading and dad gave me that truck back for Christmas in 2017 or 18. Its setting under the side shed at dads shop waiting for me to drop in the LS I have been building lol

 

Nice. Got any pics of it? The only car I truly wish I still had was my first one.

 

Random I know but maybe you guys can know. Is the tailgate on our trucks wider than 5'? I need to order a strip of Velcro to go across the entire tailgate for my softopper and it comes in 5' lengths.

 

I will see if I can dig some up. I have a hard time selling any vehicle. After all, they don't eat any hay lol
