Share your Toyota past

[RedApe]

I had an 82 LWB for 12 years...wheeled it hard.

Sold it 3 years ago, as I moved provinces and inspection would have been tough.

Bought my luxury wagon (94 SR5) in September....

Have had Jeeps, and Volkswagons in between. :biggrin2:

I'm currently driving my second Toyota 4-runner. It's a 99' Limited that I purchased new and has 198,300 miles on the ticker. My first 4-runner was a 91' that I bought used. When I bought it it had 45,000 on it and was bone stock. I added custom wheels and 31 inch tires and nerf bars and grill/brush guard. I drove it for 4 years until some pud rearended me and totalled it. It only had 130,000 miles on it. I would still have it today if it weren't for that happening. My other car is a 67' Firebird 400.

 

[Cruzrtwdgt]

Never owned a Toyota before this. Mainly Fords with a sprinkling of other brands scattered in.

79 Bronco - me
75 Vega - wife
82 Cavalier - us
85 Subaru - us
88 Subaru - us
92 Caravan - wife
89 Escort - me
95 E150 Conversion - me
95 Neon - wife
99 Merc Sable - wife

Have a girlfriend now that has an 07 Sequoia Limited 4wd that I have driven a good bit, when it came time to replace the Explorer Sporttrac, the 4Runner just fit what I wanted. Now that I have one, I wonder why I waited.

After our family van (1985 toyota van LE) blew a head gasket at ~289,000 miles I paid for the repairs and it was mine after that

I drove it from 2002 to 2004 and sold it.

2WD Automatic, moon roof above driver and shotgun seats, sun roof over the back seats. If you have not seen one of these sunroofs before, they are f***ing gigantic. We had 4 adults standing up throwing water balloons out of that sun roof.
The coolest thing though? A G**D*** ice <B>MAKER</B> under the radio. I never fiddled with it tho.

I had almost crashed that van to death more times than i can count on one hand.

2004 I bought a 1998 Lincoln MarkVIII. It had a V8. Self-leveling, freeway lowering air suspension. Leather interior. HID headlights. JBL audio. Speed sensitive steering. A trunk so large I couldn't reach the back of it unless I was practically inside of it.

[LINY4Runner]

I was raised in all that american car propaganda...
Parents had a Caprice, F150, Cavalier, Fiero 2m4, Caravan, Blazer

I started with a Pontiac Sunbird Convertable, then I bought an 86 RX-7(small blocked that ***** and twisted it so bad it was un-driveable), then came an 88 RX-7 that I did a turbo swap into and blew the motor, came across an 87 Pontiac Feiro GT next and she was my daily driver for 3 years until I bought the 4Runner

then my parents saw how much better imports are and they've owned 2 Hondas...my dad's stubborn though...03 Mustang GT

I recently bought an 88 camry L4 for a daily beater and gas sipper...
...3 weeks later my dad bought one too, a 91 hahaha

Toyota FTW
