Taco before the current Tundra


My '56 Chevy (behind the Mustang. Pic from 1986)


'79 Dodge D50 (just like this interwebs photo)

 

2010 F150: grade a POS. Regrettably, I can’t seem to find a photo of the gawdawful monstrosity.
2014 Titan, which I built into an over lander. By the time I sold her, I think I had spent something like a month of my life living out of the back of that thing on camping trips. Kind of miss it sometimes; it was just a basic Titan, so if it got beat up I really didn’t care:

 

Me? I’d like to say no, want to add a nice gt car next, but who knows.

 

SUVs

01 Xterra 4wd 6cyl 5spd
02 4Runner 4wd 6cyl
04 4Runner 4wd 6cyl
05 Trailblazer 4wd 6cyl - drive everyday, 36k miles
06 Hummer H3 4wd 5cyl auto
09 Hummer H3 4wd 5.3 auto Adventurer package - badass, shouldn’t of sold it

 

I have and trying to sell because I just got my Tundra, a 2006 F-150 4.6, but I did love having a 36.7 gallon gas tank.

 

My first truck was an 88 150 which blew oil out everywhere when going up hills, so I traded it off for some construction work and got my cousins hand me down 98 chevy.

 

2013 Ford Raptor.
2017 Ford Raptor.

 

I had Hilux in South Africa. (no pictures). Then moved to the US and bought a Ford Ranger.
I had that for about 3 years and traded for a 2002 Tacoma. That truck was so awesome that I kept it for 16 years - never had a desire to ever get rid of it. At the same time I had a Ford Explorer as a daily driver so the Tacoma just sat in the driveway most of the time. A year ago I decided to trade both the Tacoma and Explorer for a Tundra to be my daily driver.

 

First was a ‘97 F150 Supercab 8’ 4x4.
Next was a ‘93 F150 Supercab SB 4x4.
Then a ‘03 F150 Supercab SB 4x4 Sport.

Then a ‘06 F250 Crewcab SB 4x4 Sport diesel. The reason I have a blue sport Tundra now.

Then a ‘01 F150 Supercab SB 4x4

Lastly and the reason I went to TOYOTA.
‘04 F150 Supercab SB 4x4 Lariat.
Now I’m on my third Tundra.

 

How far could you go on $900?
BTW......Welcome from NY.

 

1.2-1.5 miles per gallon, 275 gallons.

 

Tacos and Fords before the Tacos. I wont post any of the Fords.

 

I'm terrible at taking photos, and don't know if i even have any of the first 2 but mine went
84 Ford Ranger
95 Jeep YJ
2000 Ford Ranger
07 Tundra SR5 TRD
17 Tundra SR5

 

last truck was a 2007 LBZ Duramax:

 

2013 FJ Cruiser
2003 Tacoma
1998 Tacoma
Before that, all junk Fords & Chevys

 

2001 Supercharged step side.

 

Good advice for most. My 2005 GTI is like a problem solving exercise every few weeks but in love a challenge and I love driving it when it runs right. You have to be a part time mechanic, good at diagnosing, and have enough cash to buy expensive parts to enjoy owning one of these. When I bought mine the two responses I got from most people where "WHY?" and "SELL IT!"

Love what you've done there. The BRM style wheels look killer and the standoff decklid really works with the aggressive stance and tire combo. Nice color too, keep that car n the family because they're going way up in value now. I have an early 50's and a '70 beetle in storage, hoping to bring them back to life once I get a garage.

 

1986 Toyota LC

2001 Tundra

 

Thanks! I plan on keeping it for sure. The paint is actually my wife's color choice when she fixed it up in high school. I always thought it was girly, but I get a lot of compliments haha. The deck lid is actually functional and looks good. I had to clear the dual carbs on the 1915cc motor.

Your 1950s is worth some money! Oval window with semaphores I assume, nice!

 

Shoot the I forgot about trucks.

Had an 86 dodge ram D50, it was black with "used to be bronze" wheels and graphics on the bottom. It looked more like poop brown when I bought it in 2000. It was reliable but wasn't fun in any way, no power and it never ran right.

Had a 93 Toyota pickup for several months while a buddy who owned it was in jail. Best truck ever, I should have bought it when I had a chance.

Had my brothers 95 Silverado for 2 months, i was gonna buy it but changed mind and gave it back. It had a 6 inch bracket lift and a 3 inch body lift with 35s. I just didnt like how it drove.

Had a 05 Tacoma for about 10 months. It was the 2wd pre runner one, a solid truck but it used a lot of gas.

Had a 96 Ford Exploder for 3 years too, it was pretty reliable to be honest. I didn't like it, bought it off mom because it was cheap and she was the original owner. It was also slow and used a lot of gas, not sure how it used so much gas, underpowered I guess.

 

01 F250 4x4 7.3L Diesel

6” lift &. 37”

 

Its It's Its an oval but it's the standard model so no semaphores. It has the small bullet turn signals on the front fenders. It has wing nuts holding the front seats down and the big batwing style steering wheel. I've kept it forever, been maybe 14 years now. I want to get the birth certifi5from VW but I have found out where it's been since the early 80s.

 

First truck 1983 Datsun/Nissan x-cab 4x4 then ,1985 Chevy Silverado reg.cab.square body. First Toyota was my 2000 Toyota tundra limited TRD access cab which I still drive today with now 372,000 miles.I also have a 2013 tundra crewmax SR5 TRD with 79,000 miles.

 

1995 Buick lesabre
2004 Pontiac grandprix
2008 Grand Prix with the 5.3 in it
2004 GMC Sierra 1500. It was a rust bucket and it would nickel and dime you.
