Doubled back on this Antique Sage Pearl 40th with factory lockers in base housing on Fort (Benning) Moore. Paint on every panel is toast, rear quarter is crushed…fantastic truck I haven’t seen around.

I like how he did the hidden winch controller on top of the bumper

A friend of ours. I helped a good friend buy and retrieve his old 40 this guy drove all through high school and college off him maybe ten years ago as it was still parked beside his dads barn when he passed. My friend fixed it up and full circle, Robert bought it back for his son to drive.

But after his 40 he bought this 62. DD’d it as only vehicle for 18 years. Has always had a couple cruisers but this one has never left the stable. He is debating a 2UZ swap but I’m trying to get him to keep a 3fe uunder the hood. Maybe an h55. Either way a fantastic truck I’ve seen around town for decades.

Still wearing original paint.

An article from a different angle. Pretty interesting:

When High Mileage Pays Off - Hagerty Media

Enthusiasts are willing to pay more for certain vehicles with extensive history or extremely high mileage, but what are they?

New info (at least new to me). I think the 4Runner has a better looking exterior.

Another Toyota home run in my opinion.

 

[Bomar]

I think the GX wins hands down.

Just can’t ever see 4 cyl SUV other than a s***box

 

[wngrog]

I like the idea of a Toyota 4x4 that gets 20+ mpg. I’ll give the 4 cyl/hybrid a nod

 

[Bomar]

Man no way in hell it will ever get 20mpg. I think that myth has been killed by the tacos.

Maybe down hill or in the delta at 45mph.

More I travel and all these new cars need to be an 3500 to 5000 rpm to go or do anything.

Grogan’s talking about WW3, Tolleson’s reading a nuclear war scenario book, and the US is running ‘unarmed’ B-52 exercises. F me.

 

[Franken470]

Just hide and watch…. There will be plenty of ammo laying in the streets when the time comes.

But @Bomar just wants to debate Toyotas

The more things change
The more they stay the same

It must have been a big press gathering in CA. Autoblog, The Drive, Overland Expo all dropped similar "first drive" reviews today.

Will's graduation gift. I have to say that the new chassis that the Tacoma, 4 Runner, LC share is pretty amazing. I was very suspicious at a 4cly, but it has plenty of go power. They hit it out of the park for ride comfort and electronics. I was at 22mpg when I brought home. Unfortunately the wife drove it and now she wants a new LC.
