Obviously, I have Montero/Raider vehicles, but I've always appreciated the odd-ball truck. I work in the greater Sacramento area and Sierra Nevada foothills. There are actually four or five of the early Trooper 2-doors I see fairly regularly. Plus, one of the guys has a Gen II (??) more roundy shaped 2-doors, as well as the Gen I. The newer truck is a V6, sunroof, stick, plush truck. The one I've seen most recently, and in question, is sitting in someone's driveway in the 'Pocket' area, has expired tags, and was begging for attention. I lost or misplaced my digital camera USB cable over the weekend and still cannot post the photos.

Anyway, these Troopers are a long way away from my old LUV trucks in style and appearance. I still fondly remember my LUV though...just like that Right Said Fred song. I'd have another LUV, but it'd have to be set up for road racing...I'm thinking lowered with 16 inch rubber, Buick Gran National V6, automatic, red or black 4x4 model...yeah!!
