@Go-For-Chill looks killer bro! I’ve never hunted but always wanted to try it. What do you have now?
After the Taco I got a Tundra TRD Pro with the hybrid V6. Then I realized a sports car and older truck would both cost less than the Tundra, so I got a 2000 F-350 with a 7.3L diesel, 6 speed manual, and no emissions garbage, AND a BMW M2. Both together were about $25k less than the Tundra. Funny enough, both get better fuel economy than either the Tacoma or the Tundra! Win/win/win!
No joke man! Those new tundras are expensive. I’m glad you’re able to dip your toes in both worlds. Before the 4Runner I had an Audi A3 and I miss having a sports car at times… but at the end of the day, nothing better than being able to jump a curb.

Third 4Runner for the thread! 2021 trail edition. My mom had a second gen when I was a kid and I always wanted one ever since. Fully stock but they are insanely capable as is. Have done a good bit of beach riding, 4WD Trails. May give it the @worn2fade one day.
Stock 4Runner goodness!

I was just mentioning Indi. Love that guy.
But where is the whip?

@Giles - Waistband stretching service?
I have at least six pairs of IH's that could do with another inch or two.

@worn2fade I'm expecting some fun shots this spring/summer. Will make sure to update the thread!

Back when I worked for the USFS I used to drive this thing. Now just the occasional back road with my personal Silverado and quite a lot of back roads etc with my work pickup.

My 16 Taco, 3rd one and even though the cab can be small somedays I wouldn't want any other truck! She's been a ton of fun places and gets daily driven still! Also the plate keeps people laughing

Old rig: ‘96 80 series Land Cruiser (triple locked biiitch). So capable. So reliable. Timeless:
New rig: ‘03 G55 AMG (naturally aspirated, no turbos=easier to work on). Very capable, not as reliable as a Toyota (duh!), fast for being 6,000 lbs, also timeless with some dickhead factor thrown in.

Has anyone enjoying this thread watched Texas Metal? What did you think?
I watched it a while ago as a guilty pleasure - it seemed like harmless enough dumb fun. Fast N' Loud for trucks.
-
@Inorganic YOU LET GO OF A TRIPLE LOCKED 80 SERIES!?
Someone ban this man from the forum!!
-
@worn2fade hahahaha!! I can't disagree.
It was hard to do, but life is too short to drive one car. Luckily there are plenty of LC's in the PNW - if I get back into an 80 series I might go for a Japanese diesel - my buddy has one, and when we all got stuck he always seemed not to. The hype is fuckin' real with those.
As for the G wagen, I've been interested in them for eons. Their provenance and genesis from the Shah of Iran wanting a military vehicle peaked my interest. Also they're stock triple locked, straight axles that are freaking thicc - beyond the 80 if you can believe it!. Throw in a screaming deal on a highly maintained unicorn with he non-turbo'd AMG, and the magic combination of M113 engine + 5 speed tranny (arguably MB's best combo and used in many cars = myriad of part availability) and the rest is history. So I threw my LC on BaT and picked up the G55.
