Hi, seems like a very nice site you folks have here, thought I'd join and see if I can be the "old dog who learns new stuff". I'm 62, Toyota mini's I've owned have been: '72, bought new, put about 150K on it, traded for next one.. '76, (I think ) SR5. Long bed, nice truck, but I rolled it a year or so after I bought it, repaired, but never the same, trade for next one.. '79, 4x4 short bed, had chrome spokes put on, a winch, canopy. One of the first ones around, really an eye catcher. White, with the factory stripes that peeled off after a few years. Put about 250K on it, no problems, sold it when I moved out of state. '92 short bed, 2X4, lifted about 3", LT225x75x15's, 5 speed. Just an everyday driver, has about 250K on it, bought about 10 years ago. '95 long bed, 2X4, extended cab, long box. Had been "rode hard and put away wet" by previous, original owner. Had it for the last 6 months or so. Smoother ride then the '92, power steering and a/c. A nice open roader, with the larger fuel tank, extra room, etc. Just put a "Porter" steel-pack muffler on it, nice sound, for a beater. Thanks about it. Looking forward to contributing what I can, which is probably not much, but I'm looking forward to the expertise from you folks. I use the 'putor at night, at work, when I have free time, so my response back is often slow. Mark
Welcome Mark!!! I whole heartly believe.....that these mini trucks....prolong your youth!!!! Only time I feel old is when I have to climb out of a slammed vehicle! LOL
