- A little walkaround of my 1981 Toyota Pickup/Hilux that we have brought back to life after sitting in the desert for over a decade.

I bought my 1983 Toyota pickup in 2001. I will never sell her. She's got a camper shell, and even has nice AC too. She made a trip from KS to Arizona, then AZ to ND & back (in 2014). Now she mostly helps with chores around the yard and in town. Beautiful truck.
Can you show us a photo that's awesome
Wow I would like to see it, you should upload a video of it
I AM SO JEALOUS THIS TRUCK LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!
I remember that door locking/open hold handle on various vehicles when I was a kid in the early 80’s. A buddy had a late 80’s one but it was with IFS in the front. I still remember the extreme rear axle wrap on these trucks with the tiny leaf springs 🤣. Not a Toyota truck guy but I can appreciate it. Personally, I would fix it up completely. It that’s what I like doing.
way to go! glad to see you guys got it going and put so much work into it to keep it going. I have a 1980 4X4 with the 20r 4sp manual.
these trucks are so much fun to keep and drive, they go anywhere a jeep can. having that weber carb really keeps things simple and more reliable than stock carb. good luck on the rest of the project. keep that yota alive!
I’ve never heard of the 22R. I have a 22RE 1993 Toyota Pickup. I love it too!! I’m having a hard time finding parts, but I LOVE MY TRUCK 🥰
22r was carburetor and 22re was fuel injection
I had one of those like 10 years ago and it was in perfect shape. After seeing this makes me regret that I sold it. Nice looking truck!
thanks!
Yeah, I sold my didn't know it was that good truck. I regret selling it for $9000. Well, at least I sold it for 9k. My dad bought it for 700, but I needed the money, and the truck needed some fix that I couldn't fix at the time 😢😢.
My papa told me that he put a celica 2.4 in his "83 hilux, the only differece was the oil pan and motor mounts, he just swapped them from the bad engine.
So fortunate to have one! I have an 80'...great little trucks. I'll be watching for future plans
Can't wait to see your plans for this beauty 🤘🤘
Thanks bro!!
Here in New Zealand they are a massive seller. 89% of all Hilux sold are diesel.
I am Toyota fan to i have my 2009 Tacoma since 2010 runs perfect 👍
Can’t wait to see the final product! Love your vision son ❤
Thanks dad!
Has me motivated to finish mine. Last year I sandblasted and por-15'd the rear half of the frame, stripped and reseam-sealed the rain gutters, rewired the tail lights. I'm currently hung up on the headlights. There are so many crappy rewire jobs and taps in its wiring harness that I'm thinking about deleting it all and doing switches. I even bought an FSM but none of the wiring is original anymore so it makes diagnosing it very difficult.
Looks good bro! I’m digging it! Now just needs new interior and you’ll be all set to go.
That’s the next step😎
HELL YEAH BROTHER! LOVE FIXING UP MINE!
Best truck I had ever.. 81 shortbox with sunroof, 22R, and power steering. I'm so ashamed I let it go.
My dream pick up is Toyota pick-up I just love them my dad had loads he used put his scrap on the back
id love to see this truck all fixed up love it
Sounds great
Real quick, I am so sad they didn’t sell quad cabs in the us, you should do a full performance build on that 22r!
What I'd love a quad cab
@@BassSniper209 it is a massive shame. But now we can import them!
Bought my 94 new. Never selling it. Most reliable truck I’ve ever owned!
Super sweet looking Toy!
Your rig is awesome at Orange County Toyota nights there's quite a few of these I don't know if they're 81or82or83 but there's a lot of them and they are bad ass about 6years ago in Huntington Beach I seen1like your 17000 I'm sure they want about 20 now like you said you're going to sell it for a lot you're going to get it over here in California keep up the good work
Still rocking in my 82 4x4, that I got in 1995, with just over 500,000 km on it.. I put a Holley Sniper on it 3 yrs ago and it runs great and I modded the distributor to have ECU controlled timing. Turbo is next
Who else thinks that pickup trucks were born to roam the wild?
That's just a diamond 💎
He was driving it like he stole it 😂
😅😅
Know a days Bro it's suck's because of computer of vehicles, I like old school and that you have right now is a solid rig.
That truck is worth so much money
😁🤙AWESOME TRUCK MAN!!
This truck is so good
Those trucks did win a war against soviet main battle tanks.
Unbreakable Hilux ❤
"It be like that sometimes" head ass got me lmfao off my shit bro, damn! 💀💀💀
NO that is not trash , when he opened the driver door it was tight. No play on the hinges, that there said to me it's restorable easy. that truck has so much potential.
I have an 86 4*420r i daily .31 bfg ko2 its great.
I've owned my hilux for 25yrs and use it every day it won't die.
My daily driver is 80 Sr5,I wish it was a 4:4,I’m always looking for one of this.
I use to have a 20 r 79 long bed it was tough as nails
Your "manual transmission Teeyota" 😂 needs motor mounts and new valve cover grommets. When those are over tightened or just old, they transmit valve noise to the valve cover. Also that tailgate is supposed to have limiting cables/chains to keep it dropping below horizontal. I believe the 22r had 96 hp. Looks pretty solid overall!
Hey guys im in Australia and i have the dual cab version 4wd but mine has been converted to take a small block australian v8 . Do you know if there i any powersteering kits for this model cheers
Yes a big trip would be cool especially if you into some 4x4 adventures with a group of knowledgeable 4wheeler addicts. And restore that bad ass paint job of its time.
Hope you know about LCE in Arizona...they have a 160HP 22R and its impressive....I had to get a rare R151F Trans from a turbo(they only made them for 2 years 87, 88) because the stage 2 LCE motor kept blowing up G and W transmissions I have 1/2million miles on my 87, bought new, has carb( last year for carb)and it has never broken down on the road, only had 1 flat tire, still have some original light bulbs....Wouldnt trade it for a top of the line new toyota 4x4...I saw a 85 at mecom auction that sold for $50,000
This would bring 10k on bring a trailer. Are the differentials regeared? Sounds like 4:88s if its running 33s
I would keep the patina look!
Show the legend some love bro, fix the HILUX
nice❤
Looks like it’s time to upgrade
253 Holden V8 go's great in those lux's
A good paint over
มันดูมีเสน่ห์มาก
How much from the condition you found it in did it cost to get that running .
How about showing the ignition module replacement.
Do you guys remember the moment the neighbor got a New awesome toy and you wanted it to? Im feeling that right now :( what an amazing truck
Hilux😍
I ❤your truck too. Listen to My Truck by Breland😎 you’re sure to love it
What happened too your wildernest and red pickup? We get a update on your camper set up please 🙏 🙂
Nice. I would have used 1.9 TDI from Volkswagen. Those little motors go hard
If I had that motor, definitely swap it in
I have two 78s in the driveway in Los Angeles ca no frame damage
Don’t sell em
I wouldnt paint i would clear coat and polish
I prefer extra cabs. I'm tall and during long trips i like to recline the seat all the back and take a nap.
What tires are those wheels?? I need em
Spot on hu raaaAaaaaa
You guys live in the RGV? I just bought a 1994.
is it a manual trans?
Does it have manual transmission?
I drove mi 22r around 40 minutes no water pump belt ,the belt broke on the country side e
What part of Mcallen is this? Looks kinda close to my parents house lol

Interesante
El óxido solo lo hace ver mejor
McAllen?
Which engine did their 1981 Toyota Hilux have? I guess it's Gasoline engine, but still I hear it sounds like Diesel too. So, there is great doubt here LOL.
Anyways, please let me know exactly which engine was used before.
22R gas engine
Wheel and tire size ?
33x10.5X15
all of them keep ticking and ticking except for the one that was froze up and the other one with a rod knock........
Best selling Bakkie in South Africa
Of course there's a Ford truck commercial in this vid.
I've own a couple of those and then I had a 1988 ranger. I liked the Ranger better, more traction to all the wheels.
Now I have a 2wheel drive 1988 Ranger with a 2.3l 4cylinder. Which is a tried and true engine. Over 30years old and the engine has never been taken out. And i still see thise old rangers out there still running.
The Toyota frames rust away from the inside out. And if you can find parts for them, they are expensive.
Those old Toyotas are cool, but Toyotas are really overrated.
I have to agree with you about the Toyota Hilux is tge best ute ever made because l own a 1997 Hilux with the 22R engine which was the last year the 22R engine was sold that is before the 30th of September 1997 and you the Toyota Hilux used in tge middle east and Africa the rise of the technical this is because of the Toyota War look it up on UA-cam and the Hilux Too Gear tried to kill but couldn't is a diesel
I just sold my 92 Toyota pickup for $3000
Check ur head gasket. Often
Damn bro your boy almost ran you over……
Motor mounts are shot.
The whole truck is shot
wow and American driving a manual, cool.
Those vehicles are also very heavily used in Pakistan-iran to smoogle cheap fuels and goods at the borders 😅
That’s pretty sick😳😆
Bro, it's called an engine not a motor. A motor is an electric, an engine is either gas or diesel.
Why do Mexicans say Teeyota. 😂😂😂
I am Mexican as well just an observation
technical.....😅
Idling too high
Old hilux* I've been working with 2 2010'ish hiluxes and they broke all the tope even broke a frame on one
Why does it last forever? The answer is simple
this is a zombie hilux
