Yea, sold my 96 Tacoma

Yea, I sold my 96 Tacoma 4X4 to my son. He graduated from the Coast Guard Basic Training Center in Cape May, NJ., last week, and will be stationed 2 hours from here, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He bought my truck, and I bought a 2001 Tundra. Wow, what a nice truck. James will take my Tacoma to a new level, no doubt, as he is putting in new tailights and headlights as we speak.

I looked at and deeply desired a 97 GMC and a 2003 SIlverado, both extended cab trucks in pristine condition, but the Tundra won. What a nice truck. I had to have a full size truck for work, and did not want or need a 4X4any longer. The Tundra is a nice truck. Jim

 

I feel your pain... I sold my 96 tacoma in 2003 to buy a Dodge Ram. The Ram was nice and it hauled azz nicely. And then - I stopped towing on a regular basis and bought myself a 2007 tacoma.

Life is good!

 

Hey Jimbo, where have you been? I missed my Yankee friend all these months.

Looking forward to having some buttered grits for breakfast, with lots of black pepper and some venison on the side. Are you up for it?

 

My mouth is watering for that breakfast. Been a long time since I had one like that.

 

Been lurking, been lurking around when time permits. Grits and Venison, I can't wait. However, the heart doctor says lay off the butter. So, I soak the venison overnight in Italian Salad Dressing, and then cook over mesquite on the grill, the rarer the better. Melts in your mouth ! Archery season is in here in Alabama, and I do see deer in my yard every week now. Maybe, just maybe............... Anyhow, my son will learn to turn wrenches on a bouy tender in Chattanooga, so he will be able to keep the Tacoma running fine.
Thanks, Jim Mann - Tundra owner !
