I suppose 4 doors are ok if you want to wheel with a few passengers, which is fun.

I'd like my dual cab more if it looked like this.

I defend mine. But I usually only get comments that its old, and has rust.

I always say that I love it and I pay for everything.

I find most people around here get new cars from their parents.

Granted, I need new tires, wheels balanced, install manual hubs, steering stabilizer, fix exhaust leaks, PCV hose, new shocks and springs, and some fender flares, but that's about it.

i loved revving up my old boss about his F250 Powerstroke... He got so angry when I would say it was only good for towing trailers.

One day he was asking me what sort of recovery stuff I had for when I get stuck, I simply replied "It's a Toyota, I never get stuck" he basically told me to "F off" lol

you learn your vehicle
you can learn how to work on it
build sentimental value (mine sure has after about $2500)
and then if a buddy needs help you can help them

I totally agree. I would feel saddened if anything ever happened to Jose. Especially after putting in a new engine myself (I feel your $2500). Well we learn from our mistakes. Like never offroad near dark, don't speed through stuff when you can't see and ALWAYS have backup!

im done hijacking now too, lol.

Never had to... People love 'yotas around here. They are almost all I see out in the bush.

One weekend up the upper Elaho valley, all that I saw were three other 4runners, two tacos, and a Lexus 470 (i.e. landcruiser)... And a 4runner had to pull the lexus out of the river... hehe.

I dont defend my toyota to the chevy's, ford,'s or dodge's... I just drive circles around them in the mud, and laugh when they have to work on them...

I don't argue or say much. I just go wheelin with them. Then they don't say anything more.

Like this past weekend when I climbed this wall (China Wall, Teller Co) open/open:


And they couldn't take the same line in these:

35's, open/detroit, custom long arm 6" suspension and SAS


and


My bro (brown bko) now wants to buy a LC for his wife... right now he owns 3 Fords...
