Not from my experience, but that may be a regional thing. I do see a few old Tacos and 4-Runners (I love me some 4-Runner) but there are very few Toyota's on the trail here that have been built in the last 20-years. (Save for the crazy folks that do the solid-axle swaps on FJ Cruisers.)

I sold it to some kid and he wrapped it around a tree. It was fast as hell (SIR B16A1 w/ the LSD Short-ratio trans).

I'm actually glad it's dead. I used to see him delivering pizzas in it. Made me sick. The car was a complete restoration. $20k and countless hours invested. Wish I'd have kept that car. I will…
