very nice, and a great price for it. i like stock or stock-appearing rigs, without significant lift and appearance modifications.

 

you can get those seat covers tighter & cleaner-fitting. i removed the seats to install mine. i punched holes in the edges of the covers, and used zip-ties to stretch the cover tight over the original fabric. also removed the lower trim, to put the cover behind it. now the cover doesn't bunch up, and pretty much stays in place. last picture was taken in the first month i owned it. you can see how much my center armrest has worn in the four-plus years i've had it. the material was already worn thin, but i've worn it right off.

 

First drive on the diesel (imported 3L, with a Saab turbo, VW TDI intercooler and lots more I forget)

 

very cool! I import Toyota diesels. If you need parts let me know.

 

Decided to buy a sticker cutting machine and this is what one of the first stickers I made.... Just for fun....

 

Thanks, I'll have to keep you in mind! You've got an absolute dream rig there too!

 

Thanks. I sure enjoy it!

 

Just picked up some used 35" Goodyear tires for$150.00 now to find some rims so I can switch them out for off road.

Painted the front end flat black.

 

 

LOL! The way you two posed for the photos is way better than the dinosaurs.
And the Oscar goes to Ray & wife!

 

The 4R first gen fiber glass hard roof is stronger than I thought.

Nearly standard at the moment but looking to toughen her up 👨˟🏭

Beautiful.

It's nice seeing rigs from around the world. It seems like we've gotten a minor influx of international members within the past few months.

 

Hello Yota people. I've had this truck since 2008 when I purchased it from a co-worker for $1500. It was a clean stock vehicle with 236K miles. This is a CA car with no rust. My co-worker had put a reman'd Jasper long block in it, but it still wasn't running well when I got it. First I upgraded to an EngnBldr RV head/cam with LCE headers which made it run really well. 10 years later there are too many mods to remember. My 19 year old son is driving it now and loves it. I just finished installing new Chevy 63"s and 33" Mud's which transformed its offroad performance. I've learned a ton as a lurker here and wanted to say thanks to all the contributors (well most...)

 

Great looking runner!

 

Thanks. We like subtle mods.

FYI..We used to live in Beaverton and we miss the coastal range trails.
