Posted this question once but my connection is on the fritz so, What year did the elocker become available? I have a line on a 90 xcab TRD but before I decide to drive 3 hours I want to know if it has an elocker. I thought that it came out with the 95.5 and the tacoma namesake however searching is leaving me empty handed.

 

No such thing as a 90 TRD ext cab.

Than what would you make of this:




I hope it's not just ricer stickers.

 

I can stick some badges on a Jeep that say Toyota, sure as hell don't make it one.

 

I thought something was amiss. Maybe it was the mismatched wheels. So, What year did the elocker become available? I had already looked at eric's site and it only states what the elocker will fit rather than what trucks you can find them in.

 

aaaaand, is a 90 fake TRD with a 3.0, 5 gears and, 140k worth the drive? for only 2 cents?

 

Toyota e-lockers started in 95.5

 

lol, wow, TRD failtrain

did Toyota even have a Racing Development team in 1990?

 

They did. I had a 90 mr2 TuRD. Had a huffer and handled like it was on rails...Didn't last long though. I was young(er) and got addicted to boost too quick. Ended up brick walling it on a rainy day. Drove it home though.

 

oh okay, lol

but they weren't in the truck department at the time this is back when a truck was, well, a truck no plastic body panels on trucks before the 90's... what happened

 

Are those isuzu wheels on your truck? Boy its been awhile since I was on the boards.

 

who's mine?

ProComp Xtreme Alloys

 

TRD has been around since the early 70's. However, TRD USA was established in 1995.

that 1990, however, is NOT a TRD version, as SuperBleeder correctly stated.

 

Thanks, I think I'm going to pass on this one. I'm really looking for another drop top 4runner anyway, and since its a fake I wonder what else on the truck is.

 

FWIW, there's someone here that posted pics of his 1st-gen 4runner with TRD badging on the rear.

Although in his defense, it was a very well restored 4Runner, super clean inside and out.

ah-ha, and someone handily revived the thread after I posted. Here it is, set faces to "drool": https://www.yotatech.com/51068034-post264.html

 

The drooling has begun.......

 

and its still going....

 

Time to rename this thread TRD fake takes?

BTW, :drool:

 

No reason to rename it. What we need is a source for stickers that say "BBY". "Built By Yotatech". Heck I call my rig "Baby" everytime I get into a situation where we're spinning tires and praying not to get stuck, the "BBY" on the quarter panel would fit right in for most of us.

"Come on baby, almost there..... don't let that Jeep see you do this to me..... come on just 8 more feet baby girl we're almost there...."
