    Stumbled acrossed this site looking for "Toyota truck" info. I like it. Nice to see another site with good info catering to us pre-Tacoma guys!!! My name is Joe and I'm live and work in sunny San Diego, CA. I've been diehard minitrucker since 1985. I'm in a club called Sunset Socal (San Diego Chapter) for which I am the historian for. I've owned two Toyota's prior to the '85 Xtra Cab I currently own and this one is well on it's way to being just as bad as the others!!! Enough about me. Check out my club's website and enjoy the pics...

    Day I got it...

    Welcome to the site, Man your truck is sweet, Its amazing what a drop & some rims can do. You couldnt find something that cherry here in Guam. Things rust over night, more like in the blink of an eye out here. Sha shoot

    I'm like a bastard child on that forum board ! ! ! Apparently bagging a Titan is sacrilegious over there ! ! ! Screw them, these trucks belong on the ground ! ! !

    Aaron Strange your brother? He is so missed by our club. Didn't know him personally, but he is held in very high regard by all members of =Sunset= to this day. My respects.

    Very respectable club. Your Pres of the club Bob Hase is probably the longest lived trucker I know alive... lol Both your trucks look good bro!
    If you need anything for your Toy I cater to the Older Toyota lovers ;)
    I'll be starting a mid 80's very soon for a customer thats in Iraqu. Can't wait

    Yeah, Bob is an old fart ! ! ! I probably won't be baggin' the Toy for a while yet (short on the cheese!). Cando was the first consideration that came to mind when I thought of baggin' it ! Hopefully it'll go under the knife sooner than later. We'll talk later Steve.

    BlownAP - Sunset will be at the "Dazed and Confuzed" van run the weekend of September 12-14, in Temecula. You should come out. I'm sure Bob Hase would like to see you out there. The San Diego chapter will be celebrating their 10th anniversary and all the chapters will be in attendance. Check out www.scmtc.com for more info. Here's the flyer...
