    What's up guys! New to the site, but not new to toyotas by any means. Just picked up a '94 reg. cab for goin back and forth to work. I've had toyotas for most of my short driving life, and I learned how to drive on another '94 mini. So, here goes.

    Here's the truck

    Like I said, '94 regular cab, got 326k on it. I bought it from the original owner. Nov by no means is she perfect, it needs a timing chain, original clutch is starting to slip a little, and there are some serious rust issues, but all in all it looks like it'll be a solid little truck for my 35 mile commute.

    Now like I said, I'm very familiar with toyotas. Within my family, I have two, my little brother has to, dad has two and has owned toyotas since he bought a '80 4x4 brand new, and mom and my girlfriend each drive one. This is actually my second mini, the first being a regular cab '90 4x4 with a 3.0.

    The main reason for picking this truck up was to replace my Camry, which was totaled back in September. Great little commuter car, it was an '89 V6 5 speed. Lot of fun, got pretty good mileage. I need something cheap and economical, cause I can't afford to drive my pride and joy on a daily basis:

    This is my '98 T100. TRD supercharged 3.4, 5 speed, URD pulley and fuel pump, Detroit truetrac rear, Toytec ball joint spacers and shackles, blah blah blah. If you want more specifics, here's a link to my build on Yotatech:

    So that's my trucks. Other than that, I'm pretty down to earth. Just had my first son on 10/4/13, who I plan on converting to another yota head. I'm a factory trained Toyota technician, currently working for a dealership here in colorado. What I am lacking is some of the knowledge about these older trucks, which, as I'm sure you all know, we don't see very often here at a dealership. I look forward to learning from all of you, and maybe learnin somebody else a thing or two also.
