pendleton is a nice base...

MCRD is the nicest by far... out of all the bases ive been on.

Never, ever go to Mugu NAS, Lemoore NAS, or NVBC Port Hueneme. All the bases down in san diego are very nice. Got to stay for 2 weeks on LHD Bonne Homme Recharde (forgot spelling)... that was cool working with LCACs

 

FIX it!

and put a seat in the bed

 

I have to add my condolences on the truck. My truck is a total POS but if it got totaled I would be SO pissed. Glad to hear everyone is okay especially your friend in the bed, that is hella scary to think about what could have happened.

I say buy the truck back and turn it into a trail truck and buy a 4Runner for your DD so that way your friends can ride in the cab with a seat belt!

 

so here's the pics that i could get of the yota that i am getting next week on tuesday;




lol so i mentioned that its an 84' but what i didn't say is that its pretty much in perfect condition. have any of you seen an 84 with power windows and a power retractable antenna?? i was kinda surprised but the interior is in awesome condition no cracks anywhere it has the stock seats that are in amazing condition the carpet is still really good its a 5 speed with the 22R in it and only has 140K miles on it! tell me what you think. i'm thinking that i came out of this situation pretty good

 

that is a beautiful truck!!!

 

that's a sweet deal... take it if its in ur price range

 

price?????

 

the price is $4500 which is steep but i really like the truck so i think its worth it

 

doesnt seem steep to me. id pay that easily. id lose that camper top though.

 

everyone keeps sayin that lol i personally like it but i am going to take it off for daily driving, it does have some benefits tho like keepin your huntin stuff dry, keep stuff from getting stolen which doesn't happen very often anyways where i live. but i'll be sure to post some pics when i get it next week

 

lol, i know. That one actually doesnt look bad. If it was painted red i would have though it was a 4runner. it definitely has its uses. GL.

 

wow that is a sad day... I know I cried when my 82 got totaled

 

yeah lol they do and i'll probably paint it after awhile. and thanx for the support

tell me about it lol i was on my way to get then tires rotated and then bam...easy way to wreck a day ha.

 

Ouch. I can sympathize with totalling your truck with friends in the bed... Good luck with the insurance man. Been like two months since I rolled my truck and I'm STILL fighting with the insurance... (Probably because they said my truck is worth $1900 with a "generous" $200 allowance for my "dime a dozen" lift. I said OK, and faxed them I think 4 receipts totalling close to $14k, written appraisals by offroad truck specialized dealerships, and said my attorney will be speaking to you.

 

i like my campter shell as far as keeping stuff inside safely in my truck. Cosmetically, it doesn't have the greatest appeal, but its damn well fuctionable. I get yelled at by my friends for keeping it on, and will probably never take it off until i sell it b/c i don't have a spot for it

Besides, camper tops on lifted trucks look kinda cool

 

Sorry to hear about your accident, good to know you are all more or less ok...

When I got rear-ended I had my truck towed to my mech./body man and had the appraiser go there... [tow operater said, "ins. will probably write it off since it's more then 10 yrs old"]... the local appraiser is a customer of my guy and knows what the real value of our trucks is... they fixed it...
you need to ask yourself "do I really want my old truck back or do I want to get something a little newer, a little better...maybe get a runner with a back seat so my buds are safer..." [just razzin you a bit no offense] around here it is illegal to carry more pax then you have seat belts for, and riding in the bed is a complete no no...

Congrats on your Marine training Semper Fi and thanks for your service...
fwiw I thought all troops went through basic at Parris Island these days?

If a toyota is "totaled" would it not be more correct to say it was "yotaled"?

 

That law is totaly useless here in california, i see people on there cell phones every day and they never get stopped or ticketed. Ive seen people drive by cops in there cars using there cell phones in plain sight and the cops just keep going.

 

no lol i definitely am stickin with my old yotas

and on the recruit training thing lol there is paris island which is for female recruits and recruits on the east coast and inland from the east coast. and MCRD in san diego is for pacific coast recruits. so it depends on your location where you go. and thank you i'm happy to serve!

 

If you believe in your truck... she will believe in you.... you gotta talk to your truck... tell her to do good baby... take me home safe baby... name her(gotta be girl name) and call her that... treat her nice and she will save your life and take you home time and time again... if your mean to it she will be mean to you.... remember this......

 

yeah I was on my way to work when mine got totaled


it is one of the most horrible sounds and depressing situation
