Sometimes wish I'd kept it but I guess my '87 Landcruiser will do. |

Those white letters and side steps will be changed out soon. Jim |

Jim Man the lines in those are what the tundra should be. Great looking trucks that I wish we're a little bigger. |

I really like Toyota's, especially the older ones before they started using aluminum blocks but unfortunately they all have one big problem, they're rust buckets! If you notice, all the good looking rust free Toyota's in this thread are all located in non-rust belt states.
I'm not trying to crap on this thread, just the opposite I'm jealous and would love to own one. I spent a few months trying to find an nice '00-02 4runner w/4 wheel drive and less then 150k and no rust but couldn't find one. Sure I could try to find one from down south and bring it up but I'd use it as a DD meaning it would eventually turn into a rust bucket too. Its a shame I tell you  |

I have N-fab on my Tundra and I wouldn't trade em for the world. good ground clearance and have something to help my kids climb up into my truck I want rock sliders. The OEM steps hang down. I'm also going with a mild lift, 9500 Warn Ti winch and bumper (whenever they design one, no 2012 bumpers yet). Hopefully, Shrockworks will build one this year. I'm also looking for an 80's beater 4Runner or pickup to run the Chile Challenge next Feb. Jim |

I know what I want to do, and have come up with the following formula to make it happen: - [(expenses + busy weekends)^kids'r'spensive] + (free time x discretionary $)^mywifenotgivingmeahardtimeaboutit = sweet completed 4Runner project. Looks awesome. Great equation. I'm gonna have to steal that equation for future project planning. |

Beautiful. I saw a very well done Tundra today in downtown denver; it was decked out with a lift and sliders and had a very cool soft top camper. Looked like a throwback to the old FJ40 soft tops. 
ETA: Dude, that is a seriously nice truck. |

ETA: Dude, that is a seriously nice truck. Thank you. I had one of the soft toppers but I destroyed it on my very first outing. They are cool and would be useful, but I found out way too late that they need modifications to stand up to heavy use. Only pic I still have of the topper on the truck:  |

All the real FJ's in this thread have me drooling. My dream is to one day do a full frame up stock restoration on a factory diesel FJ.

Great thread. Some really nice Toyotas.
I been into Toyota 4Runners since I purchased my first one in 95. I've had three of them, none with much in the way of mods, I just never seem to have the money. My 97 in an old photo, it currently is at 265,000 miles. I also have a 2000 with 111,000. Looks about the same as the 97 color wise. .  |
