Toyota has launched a new web site to celebrate the durability and longevity of Toyota trucks. The site, Toyota Truck Nation, is a place for Toyota pickup owners to share their stories, post a picture of themselves and their truck, learn about upcoming truck events, and get recognized for racking up the miles. If you are a high mile Toyota Truck owner, with 200, 300, or 400 thousand miles on the odometer, you probably have some good stories to share. The folks with the highest mileage trucks get to post pictures, too. It’s pretty cool.

This is Thad Brown’s 1984 FJ60 and David Waters’ 80 series of Green Country Cruisers, on their annual Chili Cruiser Run in January 2007. Awesome shot!

I found this Johnny Lightning FJ40 at a Walgreens recently. It cost $5. I was curious, so I checked out the Johnny Lightning web site. Whoa! They had a cool blue FJ45 pickup at one time, too. Wish I could find that one for five bucks.

What happened? We’re working on some new exciting things for the TLCA web site. In the meantime, click here to get to the current home page.

Thanks!
