I found a replacement for the Chebby on Tuesday...'82 Toyota 4WD, 118k miles :eek: , got no factory options except a radio, and a siding window, and is bone stock except for the wheels. Tires are bigger too... :cool:

I was so happy about finding one still in good condition I had to share. :laugh:

I'll prolly keep it a year or so and then, somehow, it'll prolly get totalled too. :rolleyes:

Joe, that truck has YETI written all over it. Needs some stickers on the back window or something.

When are you taking us and the xxxtera 4 offroading?

Yeti,
have you seen the episode of Top Gear they showed a couple of weeks ago, it featured a similar truck....it was indestructable.

:laugh: :laugh: YES I DID!! It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the truck for sale. That was absolutely amazing. Thinking about that makes me wish that mine was a Diesel too.

These trucks were what helped Toyota get that reputation of durability. I don't believe I'll be conducting my own acid test to prove it further though.
I'm just gonna drive it. :agree:

that show was great. they did a follow-up as well in which they put it on top of a 20+ story building they were collapsing...it survived yet again.

congrats on the find. always loved those trucks. and it is definitely you. i just got my daily driver replacement for the Ghia (still for sale though). it is a slightly different kind of off-roader...the subby way...and fast as hell. :agree:

hope to see you a Taccoa.
