Years ago, I owned a 72 blazer that a buddy of mine named "Hoss", 'cause it would take you anywhere you wanted to go, and no matter how hard I beat it, it would always get me home. somehow the name stuck, and when I reluctantly sold it many years later, the new owner adopted the name, and as far as I know it's still alive and kickin. I also had a 72 FJ40, that somehow got named "rhino". I think my wife is responsible for that one. It was dark toyota grey, and she said it grunted alot as we were making our first trip across the Rubicon in the 80's, so the name stuck. I eventually rolled it in '95, and sold it to a guy who wanted a project. She will occasionally tell me that she misses "rhino" and will get sentimental when she see's an old FJ. Now I've got a 85 4Runner, and still a name has not stuck. Couple of years ago it almost got the name "anchor", as I buried it to the frame rails in the mud. I'm sure something will come along eventually, and it will get named also.
