- An oldie but a goodie! Look what I found, a rusty 1988 Toyota 4x4 5 speed pickup truck with the legendary 22RE Toyota engine! This would be the perfect firewood truck for the log cabin!
An in-depth look at this rugged little Gen1 (1984-1988) 4x4 from Toyota and a bit of a snow storm at the cabin. 🍻✌
Does it work? Lets see!

9:55 The embodiment of Toyota right there.
I got a 88 4x also. Had it since new. Air an power steering. I wish i could send you a pic. Its almost prefect. Dont plan on selling it👍
Wow, THAT IS AWESOME!! We should do a video on your Toyota! So jealous lol. thanks for the comment Mike, appreciated 🍻🍻
Iam down in Cali. Close to the palm springs area. You head down someday hit me up. I try to get people to keep these ols timers going
Make a video!✌🏼
@@mikepreciado7807 I'm out in the Riverside area and have an 88 also with a V-6. I go out a
lot- in your area off-raoding.

I live in yucaipa. Seems this town has a bunch of little gems running around
Awesome truck. Great value for the money when buying a Toyota. Really like your videos of ultra-cold weather. Thanks, Jimmy!
Thanks 👍
That's a perfect beater truck - speaking from experience. Sold my 1991 Toyota Hilux 4x4 Quad Cab Diesel earlier this year. Used it to access our remote hunt/fish camp out on the east coast for years. Never let me down. Still got seller's remorse!
Sounds like a beast! They really are amazing vehicles, loving this little tank of a truck! Thanks for the comment🍻👍
Hmm, not sure if beater is labeled on how much you paid or how nasty it looks 🤔😁
Well, mine has both going on then LOL
I have a truck like yours and it is amazing for hard work. 22r-e a legend.
Thanks for sharing. I agree, this truck is awesome 🍻🍻
I love my truck. i have taken it to Zion National Park, Moab Utah, Yellowstone National Park, and all over California. Never had a major issue. Have fun !
Thanks! Agreed, they are special 👍🍻
Toyota’s are tough good trucks !
I love Toyota! Oh what a feeling! T-o-y-o-t-a!
Can't wait for mine to be operational again. Working on headgasket replacement.
As I understand, the 1982-1985 model years for what was simply called the Toyota Truck at the time, was redesigned by the Toyota Landcruiser engineering team. Those models were essentially a lightweight version of the venerable Landcruiser with respect to the frame, suspension and solid front axle set up. 1985 introduced the EFI version of the 2.4 litre 22RE and was the last year of the solid front axle in North America.
WOW! WOW! I smiled (from start to finish!) the whole time watching your video! I forgot to mention, before I bought my 1988 4Runner, I had a 1984 Xtra-CAB SR5 4X4 - Yup, it was white with a snugtop shell, with silver decals along each of the wheel wells (I never did like them though and spent many hours scrapping them off!). Watching your shots of the interior brought back long lost memories! Your descriptions were spot on, yes - that small open cube square is where the AC button was, and yes...that blank space is where a digital clock would be! Just TOO funny watching this video, and the 22RE engine is simply amazing, not very powerful, but will run and run and run! The engine sounds as good as the day the original buyer drove it off the lot. I even had to laugh when you showed some of the documentation in the visors...one of which I remember quite well as it shows where you need to grease with the grease gun - loved seeing that! You are going to have a LOT of fun with the truck, replacing parts here and there, and I get what you said...it's nice to have a throw around truck for errands and not use the 4Runner all the time, this is Perfect! I hope you will document with videos any and all upgrades, replacements you plan to make! Your interior shots also reminded me how my trucks were equipped back then, but its funny looking back 35+ years, how spartan it is compared to today's SUV interiors, but back in 1984...it was like Wow, a nice new interior!!!
Thanks again for the great video, and look forward to seeing new ones on this amazing truck!
Wow thank you for this awesome comment! I'll definitely put some updates up as I go along, I want to keep this one forever! I have some parts on order and work is in progress. Will keep you posted and again thank you for this awesome comment and glad you enjoyed the video 🍻👍
Very nice truck I just got me a 2005 regular cab 6foot bed 5 speed manual 4x4 as a project truck I paid 14,000 for it with 90,000 miles stock with open deffs climbs up every thing I'm procharging it doing a full Exhaust with a Exhaust cutout and long tube header and a 3.5inch stage 10 icon lift kit with arb air lockers front and back looking for bumpers I want now and bed mounted lights every thing I'm doing is Bolt on no cutting or drilling stock panels its gana be amazing when it is all done no rush what so ever on my truck who ever owned it really babied it and took really good care of it plus I also have ac and heat that works great
Wow. Thanks for the great vid.
I've got an '88 Xtra Cab Long bed, 22r (so carbed), 5 speed, Twd. I've had it for over 20 years and barely a week goes by that someone doesn't try to buy it off me.
I've got a few more options..but what caught my eye especially is that, same as yours, the steering wheel sits slightly tipped towards the left when tracking straight down the road.
Modern version of a ‘Trusty Steed’. It’ll outlast many others newer models.
An 80s Toyota Pickup, everything you need and nothing you don't.
This guy is hopelessly optimistic lol. Never buy a truck from him without looking at it in person. "Frame is sweet, it's a beauty, frame perfect, no rust on frame, etc.." Dude I love your truck and your enthusiasm and have the same one but dang I wouldn't say that frame has no rust.
Thanks for sharing and love that deep snow! Beautiful place you have. Wish we had snow like that in PA.
I have a 1990 and absolutely love it single cab 4x4.
Yuo, they are awesome trucks. 🍻👍
Great truck.. I still have my 91 toyota 4x4 single cab as well. 151,000 miles. Love my truck
@@c.r.rg9529 still going strong here to 1990 4x4
@Jacob Hendrickson my factory radio doesn't work but still have AC and it drives well. It was my first truck and vehicle purchase
@@c.r.rg9529 wow your first purchase, that’s awesome. I had watched my grandpa buy 2 new during the 80s I believe the first was a 1980 and second a 1985 both tan in color. I watched him do so much with them on the farm so always wanted one. I found mine a few years ago in pretty good shape. I’d have preferred a early 80s model but mine does very well.
The Best Small Truck Every! This vehicle made what Toyota is today. 22re or V6. There was a turbo 22re in 87 and 88. Toyota should offer a small truck again.
Agreed!
You should build a custom wood flatbed for it.
Number 1 was my reason 🙌🏼
I still have my 91 4x4 22re. Had to replace rear chrome bumper. Other than that normal maintenance and oil changes. 151,000 miles.
Great trucks I own a 1988 Toyota single cab long bed automatic I’ve had it for 19 years second owner it’s the most reliable fun to drive vehicle ever owned she’s my baby. Anyway quick heads up Never let it get hot i’m talking in the red chances are it will blow a head gasket I made that mistake but not immediately changing out the original radiator when it developed by slow leak 6 miles to town and back forgot to add Freon Bam blew the gasket
Thanks for the heads-up Mike, appreciated 👌 your truck sounds awesome!
I enjoyed talking about my truck mainly because there seems to be so much curiosity at the gas station or grocery store supermarket parking lot I get asked if it’s for sale at least twice a month. No dents straIght .maybe five years ago I had access to a garage and painted it myself Took about two weeks I was 65 years old then LOL hated to lose the decals painted medium gray if I could only replace the door panels! Serious cracks in the Dash covered up with a aftermarket cover out of sight out of mind . This will go to one of my grand children . Y’all drive safely Love live .East Texas in the spring What a beautiful sight through the windshields in the country
Thanks for the info Mike! Your truck sounds awesome. You need a UA-cam channel with that Beast!! Seriously I want to see this thing LOL. Have a great weekend 🍻👍
@@JimmyMeatwhistle has Not very tech savvy Don’t know how to post pictures I’ll ask my grandson when he comes down
You did good with your truck purchase. In your future videos show us a truck progress segment just for the fun of it. You can put a coolant heater unit insert for the bottom radiator hose. I don't know if Ebay has them listed??? I use a push broom to push the snow off my truck, then toss it back in the cap of my truck. I have an 02' Ford Ranger XLT 4.0L 4X4 I had bought new for $19,000 with now having 174,000 miles, it runs, drives , and looks like new, but just starting to rust at the bed lower rear fender. Dealerships don't want to work on rust repairs.
Thanks for the comment and info Bill much appreciated. Yeah I'll try to keep up on anything I've done to the truck and I'll put it into videos. I'm still picking through it and once the snow clears up a bit I'll get a better look. That Ford of yours has been doing great a job! I think the older the vehicles are the better they were built💪🍻
Love the truck.. rebuilding my 86 toyota pickup
Thanks a comment. That's pretty sweet and they are awesome trucks. I'm underneath mine at the moment, doing all the front end. Playing with a pitman arm at the moment 💪
I have one 86 Toyota truck... Its amazing 😍😍😍
Any vehicle that lives in the salt belt for 33 years going to be rusted out. Toyota just gets a bad reputation for rust because they’re the only vehicles that’ll still run that long.
100%
Awesome you really did good
is it just me or is it that the rustier the frame, the nicer the interior?
Great find! Nice!
I found a 94 pickup 4x4 1 owner 200k miles. 0 rust. 1500 bucks just needs timing guides tomorrow. They are tanks
congrats! 🍻👍
A beater with a heater!
That’s way Better that mine
Fords too! I have a 05 Ford Escape Hybrid. I know it's not toyota but hey I like it.
Friend of mine has one of those also. I can't remember what year it is but he bought it new and has 500,000 on it.
If it ain’t broke ? Don’t fix it, I’d have a fleet of these ol girls if I could.
Rebuilding my 86.. where did you find the box sides? I've got the same style bed and its a bit messed up. Great video!
Spray the undercarriage with fluid film
looks to me like that hole in the bed was for a fifth wheel trailer hitch. wicked cool truck, how are the cab floors
Lol, my 22re yota on 31" s gets 6.2 miles per gallon
I bought a 1986 toyota pickup 2wd 4 speed as my first car 😂 I don't know if I'm an idiot or a genius
You're a genius 👍👍 thanks for the comment and enjoy the truck 🍻🍻
@@JimmyMeatwhistle thanks man hopefully it'll last 👍🍺
YOU should be sharpter than that...car cover or when parked a car port even made outta thick 4x8 plywood to keep snow off of 4 feet high
You actually think everybody that lives in Canada should hide their vehicles under a roof every winter? I don't know where you live, buddy, but not around here
@@JimmyMeatwhistle I could only wish to keep mine under a roof.
What a shitbox lol love it
Yup, haha! Love it!! 😁🍻
👍👍👍👍
where is this canada? Alaska?
What I dont like about those era Toyota's is the injectors all fire at the same time. Wtf. I guess the Japanese haven't figured out how to use transistors until about 95... What a waste of fuel
Standard just like mine! It's a shame trucks today are almost all manuel...
I assume you meant almost all automatic?? Cause a manual is a stick.
Doesn’t look like it has a lift to me.
I think you're right. I think with the missing lower parts on the box it just looks taller.
