My Toyota Tacoma, Dodge Ram, Ford Rangers, GMC Sonoma and maybe Nissan Hardbody

Hey yall! This thread is about my trucks, diecast and remote control trucks included. Oh yeah, and a little about my animal kids! My first vehicle is Derek, my 2003 Tacoma which now has almost 290k miles. I bought him from the original owner, my dad! I decided to retire him from driving in the winter in all that nasty salt, so I went on the hunt for another truck that I wouldn't care about as much. I got on Craigslist and found a nice 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 that had been posted just 2 hours ago. I have admired and dreamed of owning a second gen Ram since I was a little girl! So long story short, I bought him and named him Purdy Face lol! It didn't take me long to realize that my almost perfect condition Dodge wasn't going to be my winter truck either. So I um, went out and bought another truck! 2000 Ford Ranger with 120k miles. He's a decent little guy, even though my parents don't approve haha! I named him Parasite because he's kinda a money pit, but I changed it to Paradise! I'm planning on painting him neon green! Here's a picture of my truck herd and I'll be posting many more! Skip to the end if you wanna see what's new! Edit(decided to get a suv for winter haha!)

 

welcome to Tacomaworld! first gen is the best gen!

 

Thanks! I guess I should've said I've been a member for over a year!

 

Thanks!

 

i like the rear window decal with the jeep

 

I'm looking forward to making this a build thread, but I'm still broke, so I'll just post old pics!

 

That sure was a good looking Tacoma.

 

Purdy Face!

 

This is the only aftermarket bumper I could find that says it will fit a flareside/stepside Tacoma. Mounting brackets are not included, so does anyone know if brackets for a regular bumper would work?

 

Is that the trail gear bumper?

The ends basically slide right over the frame and bolt right into place using the existing holes in your frame.

I have that same bumper.

Btw nice fucking scenery in those pics

 

Thanks for the info! I found it on Summit Racing and it's called AllPro Offroad. Glad you like my pics! I'll post some of my toy trucks next time!

 

Awesome Dodge girl! That thing looks like new.

By the way, what happened to the original rear bumper on your Taco? Some fish eyed goat eat it?

 

Yeah, same bumper then.

Thinking about it though, the wrap around may look a bit weird with your flareside.

The bumper will essentially have a small gap between the "step" and tubing but you'll have a larger gap right above it.

 

Thank you! Old Purdy Face just hit 40,000 miles! He's the same year as me! Derek my Taco has around 275,000 miles, and has some issues. Derek has a fairly new frame and most of the body rust has been removed. I wanted to save the bumper, but changed my mind after seeing how bad it was when my dad helped me take it off.

 

Here's some of my diecast trucks!

 

Hell yeah! You're a true truck enthusiast! Love the little die cast guys especially that 69-72 Chev

 

Manley, the 1:18 scale 68 Chevy is my fav! I like to make some of my trucks look rusty, but I found Manley on ebay already looking like this!

 

This is my 4wd rc truck!

 

Aww man that little RC Ford brought back some memories of when Pops brought an 86 with camper shell and blue like that as well, pops brought it home and the thing seemed HUGE! I got a soft spot for 80s Ferds, 250 and 350 highboys. Cool truck

 

An old Ford truck probably would've been my first vehicle if my dad hadn't been willing to sell his Taco. My next truck is probably gonna be an old Ford, square body Chevy, or 12-valve Cummins powered Dodge Ram. My mom said I can only have 2 trucks while I'm living with her, so I guess I need to move out! Or maybe my Dodge's 360 will blow and I can get a Cummins put in there! It has been making noises and running a bit rough!
