Should have kept it....

[mcgaskins]

I'm not saying I should have kept it, but I absolutely loved my XJ which I bought by slinging burgers, bussing tables, installing sprinklers, and all kinds of random jobs in high school. I learned so much about traction, left foot braking, recovery and more just by going out and messing around with friends. I always wanted a Toyota back then, but they seemed too expensive relative to the cost of XJs. I had a 93 Toyota mini truck in college for about a year, but I didn't get a Land Cruiser until 2012 and haven't looked back since!

Thinking of throwbacks, considering going with this hairstyle again. I'll have to see if I can find that flaming eyeball long sleeve tee as well...

My '73 FJ40. Built just right, beat up just enough, drove it all over the mountains and deserts and made a lot of good memories. Sold it in a moment of weakness when now ex-wife was complaining about money...

I went through a not very fun divorce a number of years ago and settled on these two to have my own fun.

Nothing actually practical, especially given I had an hour commute but two platforms I always wanted to own and build. This was our annual elk hunting trip…

Sold them both for cheap and moved on…in a better place now but remember them fondly.

Nice tips bro! lol My brother and the rest of his teammates on the water polo team in High School would do this or completely bleach their hair this color.

I had tips like that, once

 

[Notyourmomslx450]

Here’s another I should have kept.
85 22RE, 5spd, dual ultimate tcase, Detroit lockers front and back, working AC. This was the definition of point and shoot.
I sold this truck 12 or 13 years ago.

You did not! Seriously? How am I just now finding this out?

 

[Yarn Cruiser]

My only regret. Not setting it on fire and watching it burn.

 

[Sean Solo]

Nothing dramatic, but I really loved this Nissan 240SX SE I owned ages ago and it would be fun to still have it.

In the day, these were so cool!

Did not start out off-roading, but had this '70 and half Camaro RS split nose as a first car. Everything since has been a backward slide, except for a brief moment with a Ducati 750 ss. Ah, the good old days.

I miss this truck from the blood, sweat and tears that had been put into it since I bought it in 97. I don't miss the woes of driving a GM refrigerator. Nicknamed Lucy for the uncanny ability loosen fasteners throughout the truck, it had the usual TBI 350/700r4 recipe. I was setting it up for 38s with tons, 4.56s, Detroit/lock rite, hydro assist, long travel Alcans and slowly getting ready to swap in a 241\205 doubler when a front driveshaft failure took out almost the entire drivetrain in one savage trail breakdown a little more than 8 years ago. I swore I was done with wheeling, sold the truck for $1500 including extra set of 37s, my tcase build, everything associated was loaded on some guys trailer, the truck disappeared, and I bought a Subaru. But the Suby couldn't scratch that itch for trails, and it was quickly sold before I could harm it, thus entered the Tacoma and Rising Sun. Glad it worked out this way.

I only had 1 wheeling buddy as a full size odd ball so all my pics were of being stuck

'79, bought it in '84, sold it in '87 for a new '88 extra cab. Bone stock, except 31x 10.5 tires, 20R, gutless . Best open diffed machine I've ever owned. First Toyota 4x4 and that's all I've ever owned since.

It's one of those regrettable mistakes... I don't want to relive it, ever!

 

[Roketdriver]

This one was tough to let go. But I'll own another Miata when the time is right.

Not a truck but I wish I would have kept my 1983 Schwinn Predator. Photo from an eBay listing. Same bike I got in the 5th grade.

Do you remember the movie Rad?

Of course. We just got home from the BMX track, I believe Bridger is firing up “BMX Bandits” now.
