Well i have a new car it's an 08 carolla that i use as a daily driver. thats why i want an old van or truck that i don't care anything about and it pretty much just serves it's purpose. As for my old toyota yea it only got 12mpg that V6 although it had alot of torque didn't really have what it takes to turn the 33inch tires. I'm pretty much just trying to avoid pouring alot of money into something. as long as it takes my toys from point A to B i'm happy.

yeah no what you mean, i was just wondering becuase i had a buddy that had a 92' (i think) that got like 18-20 mpg with 33's i almost bought it for $1000.00, if he didn't sell it at a garage sale, which he did and got $2700 for the POS, it only had 250000 miles but had a new motor, some type of factory recal or something...

yeah, you might look into a 80's model chevy or gmc...

the older toyota's are TANKS the little 4 bangers are bullet proof and awesome on gas. i think a big part of it was that mine was an automatic and it wasn't geared right for the tires. don't quote me but i'm pretty sure the the old yota's untill 93 i believe had the 410 gears and although not the fastest things in the world very efficient. and the more i sit here the more i think about it no matter what route i got unless it's a box truck or a bus i'll have to end up getting a trailer for the second 4 wheeler and an old truck and little trailer would probably be the best route. that way it's spreading the load. i think the VAN idea was just a spur of the moment hey wouldn't that be cool type of thing

i would deffinately have to go with the black van with red stripe down the side and a loud speaker that played the A-Team theme song... maybe a Mr. T boble head on the dash. it's all just crazy talk i guess. i wish i had the time and money to invest like some of these people and thier fancy Toy haulers and 9k 4wheelers. but it's alright you just have to be content with what you have.
