The old Toyotas rusted almost instantly, and the interiors fell apart
pretty quickly too, but the drivetrain lasted forever. My neighbor's had
an early 80's truck that rusted so fast it was almost a joke, but a 4x4
and plywood "bed" kept it running many years. It was passed down from
kid to kid as a first vehicle. It finally got taken to the crusher at
around age 15 when it's frame cracked after the youngest kid hit a
pothole, and lost front passenger side wheel and hub. They were getting
ready to fix it again, but saw the cracked frame and said "goodbye".

The replacement 96 or 97 Toy is long gone, and the one that replaced it
too... Now they have an Explorer all the kids still at home drive.

The Toyota's aren't what they used to be..too bad..

Suddenly, without warning, Greg O exclaimed (31-Jan-06 4:02 AM):

That is... amazing!  My husband's now regretting recently selling his
1991 Toyota pickup that he bought new.  It's in a lot better shape than
the one on this show started off as though.

Toyota should take bits of this and make a commercial out of it.  Too
bad "Built Toyota Tough" is already taken :)

Wow.  Don't try this at home, kids...
