    Hi guys,

    Decided to become active on the forum. I thought everything was on social media these days but I sure do miss being on a good forum! A few forums I used to frequent are TTORA, IH8MUD, Jalopy Journal AKA the HAMB and Garage Journal.

    Here's a list of Toyotas I have owned:

    2001 Tacoma w/ Long Travel
    1997 4Runner Limited
    1975 FJ40 yellow (never should have sold it)
    2013 Scion FR-S supercharged and wide body
    2014 Scion FR-S (built for the Scion Tuner Challenge)
    2008 Lexus ISF (best car I've ever owned)
    2001 Tacoma 5 lug lowered w/ turbo kit (sold to buy the Tundra)
    1987 FJ60 SOA, 35s, LQ9 6.0 swap (still own, and don't plan to ever sell)
    1951 Kaiser chop top (not a Toyota, but honorary mention, and I also will never sell it)

    Edit, forgot the wife's cars haha
    2015 Sienna SE (current)
    2011 GX460
    2007 GX470

    Anyways, I nearly sold my Tundra last week to get a 200 series, but after some soul searching I knew I would regret not having the bed and hauling/towing capacity of my Tundra. Plus I nearly have the Tundra dialed in for my needs. I will be posting the build history and current progress to a separate thread.

    Here's how my truck currently sits:

    Wait, I just saw you're in Ventura. My dad lives there, over by Ventura College. I've spent summers there since I was a kid, it's like a home away from home to me.

    As requested, here are some of my previous vehicles. These will just be cars that have been on Speedhunters since they are already hosted.

    2014 FR-S I built for Scion Tuner Challenge. Wish I still had this one. Toyota owns it and keep it at their HQ in Texas.

    [​IMG]

    My personal 2013 FR-S that I owned at the same time.

    [​IMG]

    My FJ60, still have this one.

    [​IMG]

    My ISF, should never have sold it. Don't really need one right now.

    [​IMG]

    And my '51 Kaiser.

    This is my first and as long as it keeps going the way it is, it won't be my last. Your list is impressive!
