The only chick I've seen around here in a first gen 4runner was this REALLY REALLY fat chick...I don't think she drives it because she likes yota's either.

I have also found places that will quote my boyfriend a better deal than me!! I also have a 78 camaro that I recently got running and driving, the 5 years I have spent working on that and dealing with auto parts guys has really soured me toward those guys.

I have had that happen before as well... I was getting a part for my husband's Jeep and I knew exactly what it was and the guy told me $80- my husband bought it at the same store later for less than $10. It does happen!

Just saw this thread and thought I'd chime in... new to this forum but not new to other forums or wheeling/wrenchin. I can soooo relate......

I've got an 07 tacoma currently. Started wheelin with a 96 tacoma back in 99. We have a 94 jeep wrangler trail rig - and rolled twice by me (ooops)!

Love wrenchin.... I'm a machine operator by trade. I run, maintain, and fix machinery on a daily basis. But I must admit, I'm getting older and not as energetic as I used to be.

My husband and I have found a new love (01 Corvette) and haven't been wheeling much lately. Yeah, I miss wheelin...but we've been wheeling since 99, been to Tellico 3 times, and rolled my jeep twice. I can literally say, "Been there done that" and moving onward to other things and other things to learn & wrench on.

For you ladies out there... drive it and wrench on it because you enjoy it!! Ain't no basket weaving or sewing here!!!

Have your man, brother, etc., call for the price and say my " girl, sister, etc., " will be down to pick it up. They don't have to know. (feminine wiles)

No judgements here, keep at it girls...you all rock in my book.

Hello

I'm a girl that was born in 1983 that drives a Toyota pickup from 1982. I have to admit that I opted to drive my Honda cars more often than the Toyota, but that's because the lack of power steering is making me too buff, lol! Seriously, though, I love my old truck!

I'm in Durango and always looking for wheeling companions. A group of us went to Moab and Blanding in April (two of my buddies haves a jeep but I let them go anyway) . It's too hot know but after I do some more to my truck (4.88's and twin stick) a group of us are heading to Silverton (4th of July) for some wheeling. Have you ever tried Poughkeepsie Gulch?

Lately I have not been into my 2nd gen. Tippy has been a PITA! She got her name for a reason! I have to re-do her whole suspention not to mention get that 3.4 in there. But I am not complaining too much. This past month has been spent wrenching on ~tc's~ demon AKA "ron" who has had so many issues it makes tippy look awesome!

Honestly if I had it all to do over again I'd get a taco. Engine bay is soooo much roomier, and not nearly as tippy! But I'll wheel what I have

Yep, Durango. Have a red and black '83 SB with a roll bar. I don't use it as my DD very much.

I don't have a first gen...not yet anyway. I dream of one day having a first gen runner, until then my 95 suits me just fine. She never lets me down. Don't know too much about the wrenching aspect of it all (that's what jay's for hehe), but I can handle an oil change and want to learn more

Well, you might be in the right place...believe it or not, I met my man on YT (see avatar)...and didn't Molly and TC meet through the board too? Perhaps there should be a YT singles forum

Haha. I need to work on getting photos of my truck.

I'm in north western FoCo, right at the base of the mountains. I didn't realize there were so many people from Colorado here! What a great state we live in

I just took a picture of Old Blue (such an imaginative name) on my cell phone, so excuse to poor quality! That's my truck.

Let me know when you're in the Fort next!

I will, and when I said we needed a pic... I meant of you, to make sure you aren't a guy.
