I bought that same color, package, and markings model in January of that year. At 132K miles, it was barely broken in. 200K: Replaced timing chain and guides (chain was still intact.) 260K: Replaced warped cylinder head. 310K: Replaced what must have been a bad cylinder head with another. 410K: Replaced carburetor. 460K: Sold rusted (but still driveable) truck, in 2014.
Awesome picked one up with 323k full long block is being rebuilt California truck not rust beside very minor surface “rust” on the body on where the paint has fallen off. Hope I’ll see many miles out of her.
@@6thGearGarage Yeah, or rent a shipping container and fill it with the frames / and parts you know you want or can resell. Was just looking at a photo of a rust free frame sitting in a yard - jet black.
I feel same sooon lol 3 more months i sit in mine for a little bit pretty near everyday ive put on maybe $5000 in upgrades over this winter trying to keep entertained
Loved the video firstly l live in Australia and own a 1997 Toyota Hilux much the same as your rear wheel drive Toyota Pick up with that famous 22R engine this is an interesting that in Japan the 1997 Toyota Hilux didn't have the 22R/RE motor we got them from about 1994 through to 1995 and all the Hiluxes got the quarter (vent) window and there is no beeps or buzzers nothing but my Hilux has air conditioning an optional extra also on the 2wd Pick up has had a new petrol pump also the speedometer goes to 160 kilometres about 100 mph and l have done 160 kph in my Hilux only once to find if it would do it and obviously did it l will never do it again
@@6thGearGarage We do have diesel 1990s Hilux utes seen them advertised for sale but nobody really wants them because they have less power and a cam belt they much prefer the 22R engine
Hey this is Randy , the little black box on the back right side bed has 2 or three wires going in and 4 coming out for ur blinkers , my trailer lights both would blink same time ,,, I need one , what's it called ,,,?
Hey, usually when you buy a trailer harness kit specific for your vehicle it comes with one of those boxes. I don't know if you can buy them separate without the kit though.
I gave up and parted this one out. The cab ended up having bad rust as well in the floors, a-pillars, and the rocker panels looked good but they were paper thin.
@@6thGearGarage yeah it would have been a good cold start video for mine as it was covered in snow but it was miserable cold outside and I had to go to work. The next day all the snow was gone haha
I was starting to wonder after the first ten cranks..... ;-) We don't have anything like that around here. Sadly, cash for clunkers sucked a lot of people in, so there are very few early 80's Toyotas kicking around here now.
@@6thGearGarage Between that, and toyota siezing engines with broken glass and chopping trucks up during frame-gate. its been a rough few years.... Our local dealer still has a few extra frames sitting outside of their shop.

I learned to drive a manual in my dad's 87 xtra cab. I wish we had never sold it. This video gave a lot of nostalgia so thanks for your content!
Love my 92. My wife was always "get rid of that junk". That was 10 years ago! 🤣🤣
So after 10 years who’s still there the truck or the wife hahaha jk
Mine doesn’t understand either. 😂
@@silvac196 right! 😆
I get that everyday with my 87 runner. They just don't get it.
Great video the engine sounds good for 132,000 my 88 Xtra Cab has 151,000 and still running ever since I got with 136,000.
I need those mudflaps and brackets for my 87!
TOYOTAS NEVER DIE
I have a 87 and mine starts the same way after setting for a week or so. Especially in cold weather here in the foothills of central California.
There must have been no fuel in the lines at all.
No entiendo lo que hablas pero m gusta lo que veo , tengo un 22 rr año, 88 saludos buen vídeo
Captain Jack Sparrow would be proud! A rusty black pearl.
😂
We have a yard nearby where there are literally stacks of these with good frames. Oregon.
I need to come out there with a 53 foot trailer

Do you have a lot of diesels there? Unfortunately Toyota diesels in the us were only offered in the early-mid 1980’s and are very rare.

What a waste of such a good truck Toyota never dies.
I have a spotless 88 2wd frame in central Ohio
They might not be rust-proof but they are pretty much bulletproof! Lol.
Did you ever watch the old Top Gear where they spent a couple episodes trying to kill one? One of my favorite Top Gears of all time!
@@6thGearGarage best episodes ever.
@@6thGearGarage I've watched that episode multiple times!
@@Brofatinatat I wonder what ever happened to that truck. It was in their studio for a while, but I haven’t watched top gear in a few years.
@@6thGearGarage I hope they make another episode about it. That truck didn't know what death was, haha.
same pickup i got. surprised my frame has no rust whatsoever compared to alot out there.
Yep, this is normal for this region 🙁
I love your videos man

You should look at power nation at their c 30 wrecker frame rebuild
I’ll check that out 👍
I just sold my 87, they were identical. I regret it already 😭
I hope yours was nicer than mine!
@@6thGearGarage Yeah she was close to mint! Had a small dent behind the passenger head light, no rust at all.
@@mycenaean8086 that would be worth a pretty penny right now
I know where another truck is I'm gonna look at it today , if you still need a frame ,,,
I gave up and parted this one out. The cab ended up having bad rust as well in the floors, a-pillars, and the rocker panels looked good but they were paper thin.
I was gonna do a cold start video of my 86 Toyota pickup project this past week when we had snow here in NC but it was to damn cold outside
I should have waited a couple weeks, we’re getting in the negative temps later this week.

I yust bought a 85 and I love it
The best year!
What was that cracked on the front end of the truck that scared you when you saw it?
That was the IFS subframe
@@6thGearGarage Oh wow, I see why that would be such a problem!
I need the front of the bed up against the cab if it's not rusted at the seem😉
I doubt there’s no rust, bet we’ll find out the day I pull that rusty bed off.
I have a frame from a 88 standard cab
Save it bro
I really hope he does
If I can find a nice frame and bed I will.
Back bumber looks bent up shot have get fixed before falls off
I am interested let me know if it is available to sell it?
Hi sorry but not for sale at this time.
I’m looking for a 22r are you interested in selling the engine
If I end up parting it out I will sell the engine. But I hope to find a clean frame and bed first.
Good video,i had a 88 and i see the brake light not turn of do you know why and how i can fixed
Was it just one brake light that did not work or both brake lights?
@@6thGearGarage i was referring to the dashboard brake indicator light, thank you
@@rafaelcalvillo5888 I would check the switch on the e-brake pull (under the dash, near the end. Also be sure the ground is good.
@@6thGearGarage thank you
Fogged? Whut??
I sprayed fogging oil in the cylinders through the spark plug holes to prevent rusting during long storage periods.
How mach i need more information
It is not for sale
Good ol toyota. I never understand why people buy GM and Fords.
I have a 87 frame lol
Close to Ohio by chance?
@@6thGearGarage sorry Virginia but I have the whole body I’m taking the engine trans and rear end for a 85 I’ve got
Not a hilux it’s a pick up
it's a Pickup if you're in North America, Hilux elsewhere in the world.
@@6thGearGarage the main tell tale is if it has a stock diesel engine or gasoline engine, gas=pickup and diesel=hilux…
great video though
@@wyattneel6447 good point! Also the Hilux never had IFS, right? I think IFS was a North America only thing after 1985.
Que precio tiene
Old video, already sold this one
