Calling all Toyota Owners

I own a 1992 Toyota Surf SSRX
Best car I ever owned :)
cheers

I'm one....

hzj 75 campervan with hj 75 running gear for work I have driven hzj75/78/79 as well as a few hiluxes - only make of 4by I have owned/driven

When will you boys see the light?

I have seven (7) years of figures to prove this theory.

Really!! Who cares ... Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, BMW, Suzuki or Tonka Truck.

After all, while it could well be a case of "those who don't know any better" it's more likely to be a matter of people buying different vehicles for different reasons.

My choice of an NM Pajero was dictated by many things, just a few being ... it was the largest that would fit in my garage, the third row seating was more easily removed and provided a very handy storage space, and carried the spare wheel in a sensible place.

I've am more than happy with the Pajero, but whose knows what the next one will be? Circumstances and needs change. But it sure won't be a Lexus Biggie ... worst test drive I've ever had ... talk about a "wank tank".

I reckon just about everone is happy with their individual choice.

Last owned an 80 series toyota, now own a Patrol, who knows whats next. I simply buy whats best for my needs at the time. If you only ever buy toyota, how do you know its the "best" !!!

ALL have good and bad points, just need to get the good outweighing the bad for your own needs.

Cheers

Count them on the members rig stats thingy.
If you can count.

Your sig.....
"I am human ..i think?
Must be... make too many mistakes"

Your post....
"how many of there are us!

Do we out number those Nissans and by what ratio"

Personally I think one speaks volumes about the other...
But has anyone else noticed it's always the Toyota owners that are crowing about their cars???
If you want to drive a Toyota.... drive one! If you want to drive a Nissan, drive one! If you want to drive a Suzuki, drive one!
It makes no difference! Each to their own Nudenut. Just as my opinion doesn't apply to you, your doesn't apply to me.

Toyota 100 series have also owned a 45 swb (sold it to Alby Mangles) Driven a few diffrent brands all pretty much the same till it comes to resale When I lived in the bush on stations 99% were tojos thats why I tend to stick with them. Might tell a diffrent story when i get back in a couple of weeeks time. Innamincka Coongie Lakes Birdsville Lake Eyre Adelaide

yep ... you can count me in.....

Hi All
Just a small observation when travelling back from the cape in mid may
we camped on the northen bank of the archer river for 2days, with friends
when the comment was made by my mate, I have only seen 2 petrol
vehicles & 2 nissans vehicles out of about 30 odd vehicles that passed through.
We both drive toyota diesels,but the mate will be going back to petrol, loves
that instant power&reckons australia is not going to run out of petrol in
his life time he may eaven buy a nissan

Those of us that own and drive cruisers know we own and drive the best we do not have to justify it.

Hey Nudie, how ya goin?

Tell ya what mate.......

When I did my writing course years ago, we were taught about conflict.......... you know....... 2 dogs and one bone....... that sort of thing.........

Well....... a sure way to upset people here is to just ASK them what sort of wheels they drive!

I reckon some people have got their ego attached to their 4 x 4!

They don't seem to be able to take a good ribbing about something as generic as make of car......

What worries me is in a few years time, are we going to see a holy wat, or Jihad, being fought by the Toyota Separatists against the Nissan Splinter Group?

Come on fella's........ IT'S JUST A BLOODY VEHICLE! Lighten up a little..........

Oh, by the way...........I drive a Honda.......and I don't care what ya all think........

Count me in!!! Love my Prado!!

Hi Dragan
How many other 4X4's can you hop in and stand up and boil a kettle on the stove then wash the cup in the kitchen sink then slowly (built for comfort not for speed. No turbo or electronics to go wrong) drive up the washed out track, then after sitting back relaxing on the couch watching a dvd or video of the days entertainment hop up into bed for a comfortable nights sleep in the middle of the bush or city

Ps Telescope about $75 from D**K SMITH for stargazing in the bush. will MM you

Bill

Yes a Troopy 98 ex rental Hi top camper 257K on the clock now
Biggest expense $800 rear diff but fixed the oil leak and fixed the LSD
Drives on three wheels now

Hi Nudenut

Since you asked.........1999 Toyota Extra Cab Diesel traytop here.
Don't care if we do or don't out number anyone, no offence intended.
We drive what suits our needs and what we are happy with.

Count me (visitor) with one of each! We'd "Always been a Toyota man" when we chose our Nissan. Love 'em both.

From memory Landcruiser sales are 420000 in the period 1969-2002.
I guess the half millionth wont be far away.

Where do I get counted with an 80 , suzi sierra and an isoozu mu !!!!????

Im an Avid toyota owner have had a few and reckon I got a good run out of them all. I just love mine, I chose it because I know it is trouble free and it does what I want it to do - Its like owning a racing car it hangs on (needs a hotter donk but hey cant have everything but sadly My Toyota of the now, -- is a Celica, -- gotta be the best looking car on the road judging by the number of hoons that try to drag me off. Im smart though I have the best of both worlds, I also have a Nissan yes its a Patrol Its what I drive where I cant take my Celica, Why a Patrol?? Drivetrain and Clearance and the best LSD in the business, So you guys can jabber on about Landcruisers and Patrols all you like - if you are into comfort reliability and some great looks - Toyota you will never beat, but hey If you need the isolid drivetrain - (read - front diff) and a top Lsd and the same reliability and good departure (read - no spare tyre under)and entry angles you wont beat a patrol. It goes beyond opinion you just drive what you want. both do the job - once it was Holden and Ford for no apparent reason. So give us a break and let each to his own.
To some Landcruisers feel right - to some Patrols feel right I dont think anybody builds better vehicles than Nissan or Toyota. You can have your BMWs commodores and everything else - I think Nissan and Toyota owners should unite - they both are breeds apart from everything else - hey we could be talking Ladas and Zooks - but the big two are great vehicles - lets declare Toyota and Nissan month in August and celebrate the good of both - to hell with the rest --- YAY!!!!!!!!

Put me down for one! Got a Prado a few months back.

Go the cruiser!! Don't believe they've ever taken a Patrol to Antarctica. The resident truck there is a Landcruiser. Why's that? Well they're more reliable. Not saying that Patrols are crap. Far from it, they may have some better 4wd capabilities, but if it's a truck that lasts forever you want, you can't go past a cruiser!

This site is awesome, posted it in the Troopy question recently, but for all those that missed it....

You Patrol drivers may wanna check it out too, see what you're missing out on ;)

Count us in we have a troopy & a 2000 Corolla (no need top lift bonnet).

Oh dear Nuddie, you have started something here.

I agree with the others who have commented that it doesn't matter what you drive, just as long as it gets you out of the smog infested s#*t holes they call cities and into the bush.
Sorry guys I own and drive a Patrol, but have driven L/Cruisers since 1978, got my licence in my dads shorty, have been driving all Toyota 4x4 versions with work. I like the 80/100 series for comfort (but way to much chrome for my liking), love the troopies (go any where they pointed) and seriously considered buying one instead of Patrol, but Patrol was more practical for me. Only Toyota 4x4 I don't like (read my opinion) is the Hilux (to light in the rear end for my liking) especially when it goes sideways on a muddy road with a slight camber at 15-20 kph (s#*t myself) but probably wouldn't have happened if it came with descent tyres.
My opinion only, but you got it anyway!

Cheers
Shawn

G'day Nudie
Geez mate some people get all stroppy about their vehicles don't they?
Given that Toyota outsells Nissan, one would expect that more Toyota owners to frequent this site. But then again who knows - many Toyota owners may stick with the LCOOL site.
Oh yeah - I'm an 80 series owner.
Cheers
Moose

G'day Nudenut,

I've got the feeling mate!!! I'll keep it too looking at thoses but ugly Pootrols that are coming out soon!

GO TOYOTA!!! Heheheheeee

I like my 100 series. Just like all you Nissan owners like your Nissans. Isnt that all that matters at the end of the day??

Im still stuck in the mud....after sooooo many yotas.....lets see...Corolla 4wd98,4 runner 84, 70 shorty88, 60 petrol 4 speed81, 60 diesel sq headlight88, 80 petrol 3f90, 80 1fzfe auto94.
I prefer my nissans as 1600's, 280zx's and Skylines....reliving my childhood at the moment in a 280.....wondering if a shorty chassis will fit under it!
Andrew

i drive and own over 20 cruisers.

( driven over a nissan lately)

nearly bought a GU but ended up with the 80 series thankfully.
Wouldn't bother me either way but am happy with my selection

Sounds like you need a good night out nudenut.
