Hello from an ex-Tacoma owner!!

[offroadkid]

Just saying, "Hi!" I joined TTORA back in Dec. 1999 and have been gone for quite a while, since we sold our Taco. We now own a 97 FZJ80 and still enjoy wheeling. glad to see TTORA leave Delphi!!

Welcome back!

Thanks!! The last "real" run I went on was the 1st TTORA Takeover in Moab, a long time ago. I think Yogi was AZ TTORA Pres?

not just any diesel:-) 13B-T and upgraded LC full floater axles front and rear with factory cable lockers in each:-) ARB bumper in the front with Warn 24V winch, it's a 24V rig:-) Got some extra gauges installed; boost/egt and water temp/oil pressure. For the future, upgrade the speakers, try a intercooler install and/or propane injection, and maybe a rust free body from Japan.

Yogi still is the AZ Prez. I'm just the VP in charge of nothing.

Have you tried these guys- www.gscruiserparts.com They've got some diesel stuff. A guy in our 80 series NorCal group has a 96 HDJ80L turbo diesel 5spd. It's a beautiful rig!

[coldtaco]

I bought this rig from Sheldon, the S in GScruiserparts. He had done the engine swap and things.

Hey man! I remember yyyooouu! :-) Come wheelin' sometime again, slacker. We've got respect for anything with 4 tires that move.

[offroadkid]

Hey Bob!!

I saw you on my TV!!! You're right, I need to get some wheelin' in. I lurk once in a while to see what up coming runs there are. I also still receive the newsletter in my e-mail. I'm a bit timid with the Cruiser, but I remember doing a trail up behind Bear River Resivoir, Pardoes maybe? I'd like to do that one again. It was great camping at Mud Lake. Good to talk to you again. I think this thread is probably gonna get moved to Chit-Chat, or NorCal or something. It's not very Cruiser related!! :p

I got a deal through Autonation, I used to be an employee. I paid $13 for it. We do tow a tent-trailer with it, you can't even tell it's back there. We towed it with our Tacoma also. I have a pic in Member Rigs, and I could post some later when I get home. :D

Most excellent, glad to see you back! I sold my Taco three years ago after getting the Tundra, but still keep coming here. I think the expanded range of Toyo's being discussed in this forum will create a broader information exchange.
