[Mike D]

welcome to the board and you probally won't get to much crap for being a jeep lover. at least you got some toyota on it.

[iNfErNaL]

Thanx for the welcome Mike D. .Even though I'm a jeep freak,I still have appreciation for toyotas.They're awesome rigs,I've owned an 81,two 84s,an 86,and an 87.My brother is YOTAon40s,and my dad has a really nice 81.I usually help work on both of them,so I'm allways around toyotas.

[To The Floor]

So what was the experience that converted you to a Jeep freak, I am always curious.  I went from a '90 YJ to a '81 Toyota, best decision my dad ever made for me!

[yotaboy79]

where are you guys from welcome to the bord

[iNfErNaL]

TTF Fabrication,what's up?,it wasn't any experience that made me go to Jeep.In fact,I had nothing but good experiences with my toyotas.First I owned an 81,then an 84,and then an 87,but I was 17 when I got my 81,and wasn't as much into wheeling as I am now.I didn't really have as many friends that were into the sport as I do now,and I hated going solo.Then,in late 96,when I was 19,I bought a 91 YJ with a four banger and 36s.It was really nice but thats about it,but I loved the attention it got.It was a chick magnet,and I just kinda stuck with jeeps.The one I have now is an 89,and I've had it,built it,and wheeled it hard for 5 years now,but I will be the first to say that they're real weak.I've had 3 different setups on it,and I've almost got it to where I really want it now.But I'm also damn near $20k into it,including the 2 previous setups,when I know that for less then half of that,I could have had an awesome yota .about 2 years ago,I bought a mildly built 84,and started ading on to it,but couldn't afford to have 2 projects,so I sold it.  Amen.

[iNfErNaL]

Oh yeah,I forgot,I also had an 86 for about 3 or 4 months,before I blew the engine ,and then sold it.

[iNfErNaL]

Welcome to the forum newbie!

Thanx for the warm welcome BigMike.Do you have any Marlin Crawler parts on your Toyota,I'm kinda new.I normally hang out on www.myMR2.com

[BigMike]

Thanx for the warm welcome BigMike.Do you have any Marlin Crawler parts on your Toyota,I'm kinda new.I normally hang out on www.myMR2.com

I only have a Marlin Crawler shift knob that I installed myself, but someday I will install a Turtle sticker somewhere too

I used to hang out at www.myMR2.com before some yako from southern cali hacked in and crashed the whole website. He had a thread about how he was putting a YJ 4.0 engine into his 1985 MR2, and everyone knew it would never fit and they made fun of him, so he left the site just 1 day before it crashed. Everyone knows it was that guy. I think he said his zip code was 92543 or something...

I wonder who could have done that 
I know it's old but 

[DCabTaco]

It took you a while, but you eventually saw the light and came back to the yota scene.   So I guess for that you should get a welcome back!   

But I must admit those were some fun times on that Jeep.
