What did you have before your 4Runner?

I've had a few...86 Tempo, 95 Dakota, 95 Mustang...this is the gas hog I sold to get the 4Runner. Apparently it was a safe haven for stray cats.

1st car, a Red Tercel, then a white Corolla, then an 88 Celica GTS followed by the 97 T4R which is currently my DD and a 2000 Corolla Wagon that is now sold. I have only owned Toyotas...
 
Not counting many hobby 'musclecars', my daily drivers before my latest 4Runner were a 2004 Tacoma Prerunner Limited and before that a 1995 4Runner SR5 V6.

Man, I've had about 11 different cars in the 20 years I've been driving. Lots of 4 cylinder imports. Audis, VWs, a couple of Subarus, a couple of Hondas. My most recent car prior to the 4Runner was a WRX.

I know I'm missing some. These are in somewhat chronological order of ownership. It's been said I have a bit of a "problem". :lmao:
 
Jeep Wrangler. Enjoyed it but started to have a lot of minor issues. Sold it for 50% of what I paid for it 13 years before. Was a great vehicle for maintaining value.
 
I bought my first car at age 14, and spent the next couple of years fixing it up to drive when I got my license. It was a 1929 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan that I bought for $80, and sold when I went off to college for $800.

And there are four scooters in the garage, too...
 
My last vehicle was a 2001 Isuzu Trooper. Here's a pic of it outside the Reward Mine in eastern California, in 2013:

And this is why I now have a 4Runner. This was taken in Bishop, in 2014. I had car problems on my annual Nevada/Mojave ghost town trips three years in a row:

I've owned three Troopers in a row, and that last one was my favorite. Unfortunately they stopped making them in 2005, and it's getting hard/expensive to get parts/repairs. So I bought the 4Runner in February, and I'm really looking forward to taking it to Nevada/Mojave this summer.

BTW, the first car I ever owned was an International Scout.
 
Had a Ford Explorer sport


if i may...why did you change from the Ford?


my bottom two were the Explorer and the 4runner when i was shopping...

the 4runner won out because of the body-on-frame/truck architecture and Toyota quality/dependability...

Im just curious...

thanks
