Let's see your first gen - photo thread

Not hard to believe. I’ve had trailer brakes fail on my flatbed trailer before and without them it really really sucks. It’s got little stopping power. Brakes are probably the biggest thing in setting trailer and payload capacity besides legal classification because you can have all the power in the world but if your brakes suck…everything sucks.

 

So true,

 

I really like the stance of your truck. Has it been lowered? What size are the wheels/ tires? Thanks

 

Are you referring to me?

 

Is this Lowered?
What size wheels/tires?

 

Looked these up and they’re not cheap…did you buy an off brand or is you’re the genuine name brand? I’m cheap if you can’t tell…

 

Nobody knows who you're talking to. When you find a truck posted you like, you really need to click the "Quote" link on that single post, then reply, so everybody here knows which post and vehicle you're talking about.

 

Is this real life?

 

Truck is looking good my dude!

 

That's a Coastal Offroad.

 

My truck was making friends with other Toyotas

 

Love the wheels

 

But is it lowered

 

Thank you!

 

I really liked the stance

 

Obviously. I have to have my passengers get out when I cross train tracks, but it is totally worth it.

 

Just bought my truck a new best friend! 2022 Alumacraft voyageur 175 cs with a 115 Yamaha vmax sho.

 

Nice @Brown Bear !! You might have to tweak your bed rack to fit that one!

 

Hahaha. I don't think it will fit. But I think I have enough space to put the 10 footer on the rack and still tow the new boat.

 

Did you say SHO?

 

Or is this just a fanta sea?

 

Yep. Best motor on the market in my opinion. Just took forever to get. I ordered the boat to be custom made and the motor at the same time back in March. The boat was done back in October but it took until now to get the motor. It was a 9 month wait for the motor. Now I have to order all my electronics.

 

Oops, wrong thread.

 

Here's a pic of the 01 when I hauled it home solo.

 

Hey, at least you had one good truck for that trip!

Too bad it was on the trailer.

 

Haha, the ferd 5.0 is hard to beat. Thing is a hammer! It sits in the driveway while I drive the first gen now, love it. Going to hate not having it when I give it to my dad

 

Oh, you can beat on it, and it'll stay alive, as long as it's under 200k miles on it and has had regular service. After that, it's only a time/numbers game before it craps out. But it beats GM in that the tranny will go for at least twice as long. (I come from a long line of GM guys, I can admit the faults; awesome engines, shit electronic trannies)

And fortunately it's not a RAM. Did you know RAM 2500 drivers get more than twice as many DUIs as the national average? How weird. The two best trucks out there didn't land on the list.

 

Thats funny!
