Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Sup...lol. Jk

 

So does my 1st gen tacoma with 360K on the clock. It cost me $500 and gets damn near the same gas mileage at the $35k 3rd gen. I'll trade you for that YJ. Disclaimer: The 1st gen is beat up but runs great. lol

 

Haha. I gotta say. The new fancy gadgets inside are cool if you can figure them out. Wife got a 2010 caddi and its badass. I can only imagine the 2021s

 

I’ve got a 70th birthday trip coming up for my dad this summer but after that I’m thinking I want sell the Jeep and get into a first gen with mid travel.

Built just enough to do the rubicon/dusy but also enough to camp out of.

 

If I recall, your yr has to hack into the master brake wiring harness, dash will light up like a Chrismas tree when disabled.

 

Don’t get me wrong, I like my 3rd gen, but I doubt it’ll be running as well as my ‘90 does when it’s 30 years old.

 

Well... No tokyo drift in the runner

 

Is it bad that I am slightly intrigued by the Ford Lightning? Starting below the price of a decent Tacoma and well below the Tundra.

 

I like my AWD. I just don't like trying to engage 4WD sometimes...

 

No fun button on the 4th gen, happy Toyota came to their senses on the 5th gen

 

Finished day 2 of the trip, grab a beer, she's long. Day 1 had music copyright issues during the hyperlapses so I'm working on getting that up today and day 3 will be spider lake back down to loon and I'll try and finish that soon.

Get an 1985 or older. 1986 is when IFS started.

 

Yup, my pre-Tacoma ‘90 has IFS, but it’s the best I can do unless I can convince my uncle to see me his carbureted ‘82 Land Cruiser. I’ve been trying for 15 years...

 

Don’t I know it. I sold my ‘85 to get into this one.

I’m thinking a 1gen access cab with the 3.4 and manual transmission.

 

That's perfect. My rig is a 96 access cab, 3.4L and manual. When do you want to drop the heap off?

 

Plan for the amount of power you want 1st

I'm struggling thru motor swap research, I wish I had an old toyota diesel pickup that I could do whatever I wanted motor wise

 

The 3.4L with a manual has plenty of power. It has so much power it was able to do this to my u-joint on the slip yoke. lol

 

I plan to be a little bigger than that

 

What platform are you putting them under?

 

Thats why tow rig is a must. Has all the power and can do 80 towing. I'd be lucky to do 70 on flat ground in my runner lol
