Photos of your first Toyota.

And first Toyota I bought with my own hard earned money, after a few 4th gen Camaros and a couple barge Fleetwood Brougham Cadillacs. This was the day I bought it in 2012, 20 year old 1992 Lexus SC300. Semi-daily driver for the next 6 years.

 

1993 Toyota Dxl Extend Cab, 4x4

 

93 4Runner. my first car, still own it today. it's been through a lot and changed a bit:

 

My first Toyota was a 2012 Sienna. I don’t have any photos and no one would care anyway. But it was a nice vehicle. Had some pep.

 

Bought it for a G, complete with blown shocks: used to pull up next to ppl @ stoplights pumping brakes to get it rocking front & back....it would kiss the ground with bumpers. Epic. I stopped after I hit the rear so hard it threw a CEL....also epic.

 

Damn!! That’s bad A$$ looking truck.

 

I was always a GM guy then started buying Honda's. But still GM Truck and SUV guy so finally bought a Tundra and have no plans to ever buy any other truck from now on.

I hope this posts.

86 4x4 Hilux... 410,000 miles..

Been in hibernate mode since 1999..

I still own it.

 

First Toyota purchased a few years ago before it was traded for the tundra. It was a blast to build, looking forward to having fun with the tundra.

 

I see you're from South Carolina. Just curious, where did you buy that truck from?

 

It's from Raleigh NC where I use to live. .. I bought it off a good friend in 1993.. I'm it's third owner if I remember right.. no rust nothing under side not even the bolts.

 

Tacoma was also my gateway to toyota

 

Cool. When I was 18, I had a 86 that looked just like that one, same wheels and tires. I traded it for a brand new 96 Tacoma.

 

I think those wheels where the hit back then in 90s. alot of Downey off-road manufacturing in that truck.. .. I have dual spares in the bed and extended fuel tank.. got some money in it.. have been thinking about having the engine pulled and sent to lc engineering...

 

First Toyota - 1997 I think?



Current Toyota

 

Back in the day. My 87 Toyota pickup and my second Toyota, 89 Celica GT

 

Sweet truck! Bummer Downey off-road went under... me and my brother built of our first Toyota’s with Downey gear. He had an ‘87 hilux pickup EFI converted and I had “still have” a ‘91 4runner 3.4l swap supercharged w/Downey headers and 2 1/2” Exhaust. Took off my Downey front bumper to put a plow on it as it’s primarily used to plow our road now but will still burn any new 4runner on the highway!

 

you dont see the old hilux anymore its rare....

Downey offroad was very hard to beat and i still wish they where in business they would get almost my paycheck...

Post up some pics of the 91... love to see it and the conversion you did...

 

02 Sequoia AWD

 

Here’s one of the 4runner I took after work just the other day while plowing, I’ll see if I can dig up some old ones from doing the conversion if not it sounds like We’ll be getting more snow in the next few days so I’ll snap a few of under the hood!

 

1997 4X4 4-Runner.
Don't have any digital pics but it looked a lot like this, but with grey bumpers and OEM fog lights.
I've been buying Toyotas ever since.

 

A few more pics of the 4runner 3.4l conversion and plowing today, we got about 20” here always fun to chain up and push some snow around!

 

‘89 5 speed 4x4

Got it when I turned 16. Still have it today.

 

‘87 4Runner:

• 4” procomp lift w/ 2” body lift
• 35” tires
• Downey headers
• Aftermarket “Crawler” Cam shaft
• 5:29 gears
• Detroit locker in the rear

Had it back in high school... taught me how to wrench and started my love for Toyota’s!





Miss my lady...

 

2007 FJ Cruiser.

 

Badass rig man! Why did you get rid of it? This is the exact truck I wanted back in the day as my first, ended up finding a ‘91 4runner for cheaper and thought I would be better of having V6 power only to find out the 3.0l is junk after rebuilding it 3 times I finally put a 3.4l in it out of a ‘02 Tacoma supercharged it with Downey headers and 2 1/2” exhaust. I’ve owned it for 19 years now and has 402,000 miles will still do 100 mph up the mountain in 5th gear if I want it to!

 

Bought this 83 long bed while stationed in Guam, stupidly sold it in 87.

 

Underneath all the snow is a 1985 Toyota Van,4 cyl with 5speed manual trans, on a trip to florida it got 30 mpg!! I loved it, it had a built in refrigerator which held a 6 pack. Great stereo. Sucked in the snow, traded it in for a '88 4runner, 4 wheel drive only since.

Wish I had pics of the '88 but photobucket is holding my pics for ransom!

Here's pic of my '97 4runner:


Next is my 2003 tundra which I traded it in for my current ride.
