My 2001 Tacoma. I retired her from daily driver duty a few years ago when I bought a beater commuter so with only 260k miles, I'll probably have her the rest of my life.

I just found this photo. Would be cool to have one.

Looks nice. Just read up on it; yeah, very similar to my old VW Sportruck. Not intended for the U.S. - ever, I'm guessing.. Oh, well. Anyway...
Finally decided that I needed another truck, so I got this Nissan Frontier Pro4X. Pretty happy with it - so far...

Dude, those rims are tight, yo. I totally dig those. I put them on my Fords back in the day.

Bumping this back up for @James Hart. It's been "New Truck Day" at Mike N's this past month.....
While I still have the big yellow Blazer, I decided I needed a newer truck to haul the trailers around with, so I bought myself this....
2003 2500HD with the LB7 Duramax and an Allison Transmission. This thing hauls like you wouldn't believe.
Well, not long after getting the Duramax for me, I realized that my wife's 300,000 mile 98 Z/71 finally reached the end of the road so I found this for her....
2005 1500 with the 5.3 and a mild lift. Needs some minor work (new door latch, exhaust work and a small power steering leak) but it's nothing I can't handle. The big thing is she's happy with her new truck..... happy wife, happy life.
The old Z/71 is now relegated to neighborhood plow truck duty.

Start on page 1.
I'll be building a flatbed for the K1500 at some point, the Ranger is begging for an LS/LR4/LM7 and a 700r4 with a reverse manual valvebody, and the Dakota will soon have its wiring harness finished so it can be a good little daily. Trux thread.
Nice pair! I'm thinking about stripping the usable bits from the Blazer and selling the titled carcass for whatever it'll fetch (rot is far worse than I'm dealing with). I've been fixing up the Suburban lately... but 3 starters in 4 months (my fault for buying dirt cheap remanufactured mail orders) had me thinking a lease on a Bubble Trucklette might be a good idea. My wife came out with "They all look the bleepin same, nothing has any style" then proceeded to tell me she'd love more than anything to have another Volvo 240DL wagon like I bought her when we were just starting to date in 1995/96. So I posted this the other day...

Here are some shots of the Suburban from this summer... the kid calls it her "Puppy Dog Doom Truck"
I'm still driving my Ram, and it looks just like it did in the previous pic I posted.

I passed a late 80's Volvo 240 DL wagon the other day and told my wife that I would still like to get one and shove a small block in it.
The ultimate sleeper.......
I bought myself a 1992 Volvo 240 wagon to go with my Suburban. The Blazer went to a disabled vet that was a year behind my wife in school.

I'm starting with sport exhaust... Moving onto a lowered sport suspension... Then building a 300hp 16 valve turbo
LS engines have 16 valves..... think about a single turbo 5.3 under the hood of that puppy.......

I asked the wife if she wanted peppy or racecar... She said "remember the old taxi family cartoon? I want the son" So maybe
I still have my Suburban...
That's no ordinary wagon, Mike. The Volvo DL wagons have so much room under the hood that a V8 swap is almost a given.
The ultimate sleeper and one of the cars on my bucket list.
