You're wrong

I did, twice. Guess it might be the security right nowHit refresh Sally
When they feature the truck of a guy who saved lives with his truck during the paradise fire by driving into the fire multiple times I find that awesome.Toyota definitely inspires patriotism, lol.
That truck, like Ivan's, is red blooded American by adoption, if not birth. Ivan's truck had skins to look 'Yota, and the motor, but the rest was pretty damn American. The Paradise fire truck was flogged into service by a stand-up American.When they feature the truck of a guy who saved lives with his truck during the paradise fire by driving into the fire multiple times I find that awesome.
Jap build however you slice it
Indian dunes. Wow, that brings back great memories. The family and friends would go in the early 70's dirt bike riding there. Thanks for the reminder.About 1/2 way through had a flashback to Ivan Stewart almost running me over on my ricer made RM 80 at Indian Dunes back in 84' .
So when I buy one the money goes to Texas? Honestly?San Antonio, Texas built...Military City USA.
They employ a lot of veterans...and do a lot in the local community. The tundras sold here have a big texas sticker on every one of them.
Yeah, to the workers on the assembly line making an hourly wage it does. Overall profits still end up in Japan. Seen this argued over and over on other forums.So when I buy one the money goes to Texas? Honestly?
Well, just my opinion but when I drop 65k on a truck or car or whatever I would much rather it stay here. I would never tell you how to spend your money.Yeah, to the workers on the assembly line making an hourly wage it does. Overall profits still end up in Japan.

That's an average F150 XLT. It's freaking crazy man. I was looking at a new Lariat to replace mine and they were just under 70K. I can't justify thatIf I’m spending 50k plus on a truck, it better be an HD truck with a diesel, IMO.

Do you drive a tundra? Or a Mexican Ram Like I do? Lol.It employs American workers (7200 in the San Antonio area specifically)....which is more than I can say about RAM....my truck was fully built in Mexico...did the profits stay in Mexico? Not likely, Did American workers and their families benefit from the wages? Nope... You go on ahead and preach about "American" trucks that aren't built here anymore....but thats ok bc the corporate profits come "home" to their investors. So yea... 7200 families get supported by those Toyota Tundra jobs....but fuck it lets tell them to move those jobs out too bc they aren't an "American" company. GTFO of here with that UAW drivel.
Hahaha. Okay. Didn't mean to insult your Mexican truck.

Nobody is telling you where to spend your money, however don't act like Toyota Tundra's are not US built, by American Workers...many of them veterans
I drive a 1 ton Mexican Shitbox. Honestly if they made a tundra heavy duty truck I'd probably buy one. Next to diesel trucks, you see more tundra's here in texas than anything.Do you drive a tundra? Or a Mexican Ram Like I do? Lol.
So does the OP. Two in fact. Lol. But I agree. But I’m sure a Tundra 3500 diesel would be 90k+I drive a 1 ton Mexican Shitbox. Honestly if they made a tundra heavy duty truck I'd probably buy one. Next to diesel trucks, you see more tundra's here in texas than anything.

Because HI has a huge Japanese population.Oh im sure...hell a new one ton Mexican shitbox is in that range already... I've owned a couple Toyotas...they actually make great long lasting stuff. Back in HI, they are by far the king of vehicles.
The UAW are solely responsible for the US vehicle production leaving, as unfortunate as it is.
Similar to BMW/Mercedes? Asking for a friend@HBCraig , So, um...where's that crane manufacturer based out of?
Consider this thread fully derailed, lol.
Love to see the Hawaiian style toys back in the islands. I’ll be back in 2 weeks.
Because HI has a huge Japanese population.
Nothing like the island style Hiluxes lifted on chevy 12” springs with 44” boggers or TSLs running 31s for DD duty lol.I had a 94 that I built, straight front conversion, 6" lift, 15x14 Wheels, stretched boggers, 5.29's, 4runner interior swap, big stereo and all like 10+ years ago. It got stolen near Hawaiian Brian's..never found any of it. It was one of the only times I ever drove it to town..pretty much always kept it around Kaneohe except for truck cruises.
There are some mean trucks over there..not everyone is into the style but there is a lot of money that goes into it. Check out sandy's on the weekends usually some guys cruise over there. The music video for one of Koauka's songs had my truck in a couple of the shots

Been there, done that. Protect the motherland.Haole as they come..I used to get some looks jumping out of my truck lol. Lot of Hawaiian family, I spent a lot of my childhood in Kahalu'u. Most all of my family lives on windward Oahu. My mom splits her time between there, Molokai, and AZ. My wife is from Mililani...

Same here in PHX, still keep the island family close.Funny thing is..even living in texas, pretty much the people we hang out with regularly are all from Hawaii..some we knew previously, some we met here. Guy that built are house is from big island actually lol.
I think we derailed this one successfully lol
