New here/New to Toyota!
« on: Jun 17, 2015, 10:47:02 AM »
Hey folks,
Iv actually been reading on here for quite awhile, but iv always been a Jeep guy... still am... BUT, i love 1st gen Toyota 4x4s (who dosent??) so when one popped up on Craigslist I had to grab it, so I got my hands on a 1981 Toyota Trekker. I love the history of these little trucks and since im an aspiring overlander this little rig is perfect.
I also have a 1980 CJ7... so i have my cake and im eating it too.  :eyebrow:

Anyhow...

You need to start a build thread ASAP. I don't want to miss any of this one. An overlanding Trekker! Too cool!  :welcome:

Just got new tires for the Trekk and hopefully planning an expo trip for the end of the summer. But I gotta get another truck on top of my Trekk... So if anyone wants to trade a Yota 4x4 for a Corvette C3...... Letme know.

Megaphoneman, I'm a huge fan of your truck! Unfortunately the Trekker is potentially getting sold :/ but I've got a nice 1987 4Runner I'm building.
Thanks GoldnGateYota!
