Toby, through the years

Most of y'all who look here probably don't know that Toby is the name of Dave's car. It's a 97 Geo Tracker 4X4 2 door convertible. Toby has gone through many changes throughout his 10 year life with Dave and this is a small picture essay chronicling this event.


Here is the original. Okay, it's not Dave's actual car, but as close as he could find to what it looked like when he bought. It was a bit prettier than this one. This look only lasted about 1-2 months before...

...some 30 x9.50 mudders were thrown on with some rims donated by Mike from his scout (I think). This only lasted for about 1-2 years before...

A hard top, 3 inches of lift, a safari rack and a new set of mudders to replace the old worn out ones. Life was good as Toby could now handle any off-road trail we could find. But...

How did Dave know he was getting old? When he realized that his mudder tires were not practical anymore. Economy and the age of 30 hit Dave. Fortunately he found a great deal on some new wheels and tires.

So that's it. After 10 years, and 60, 000 miles together, from Utah to California, from mountains to ocean side, you've been hated, you've been loved. Here's to another decade!
