@@6thGearGarage good project, I have seen the entire process since you started. I would like to know where to buy and what brand of Spray paints you use, especially the white color.
@@84yota For the white engine bay I use ERA Paint 2k engine paint. It's expensive but well worth it. I used their 2k clear on top of it. I also used ERA Paints 2k engine on the blue block. Everything else in the engine bay like the accessories were all Duplicolor or VHT engine paint. The primer was all Duplicolor Self Etching, and aome Engine and Filler primers too. I was most impressed with the ERA Paint and will use it again on my next build, the 85 4runner.
For years I drooled while reading all those forum threads about Toyota truck restorations. Now, not only do I have my own, but I get to admire your very well-made video series on one. I feel very fortunate.
This is my new favorite videos ever. I just checked, I have 2,099 liked vid rn. This is def my fav. You guys did a great job. I love these trucks, I love frame off resto, and I appreciate very much your work. Thanks.
Huge progress in this update. It takes forever to prep and paint all the little bits before reassembly. I was sorta keeping apace with my restoration, but you pulled way into the lead! Guess I better get back out into the garage... Hope to see a driving video soon.
@@6thGearGarage I think you'll really enjoy having a white engine bay too. Having a bright color makes it a more fun place to hangout. 😜 It's nice to be able to see what you're working on and spot leaks.
That's starting to look really cool. If there is stuff that is rubbing or is in the way of other stuff now would be a good time to reroute it making it easier to get at it when you to fix or repair or replace something
I will get around to painting it one day, but first I want to complete my next project, 1985 4Runner. For now I'm going to drive it around like this until I get tired of the "old beat up truck" look.
Hey I have never worked on anything older than a 20R, but I read once that the older motors use the same bell housing pattern as the 20R/22R. As far as the correct clutch/flywheel combo, I am unsure. I have a W55 trans and can get a picture of the bell housing if you'd like, lmk.
The master bolts to the booster, but they don't share any kind of vacuum. The vacuum is self contained in the booster. The booster has a rubber diaphragm inside that uses engine vacuum to make it easier to press the brakes.
@@jpicard81 I'd start with the relay. It's under the dash, a few inches left of the column. I don't know about 1990, but on the 80's trucks the turn signals work through the hazard switch. If the switch is unplugged, then there is no turn signal. Since your hazard doesn't flash, I wonder if that's the problem? Most likely relay though.
Ive fixed the shifter seats when the small pegs, on each side, get broken or loose...Just took a hardened bolt just bigger then the peg and shaved the end like the pegs, left enough thread and tapped the holes bigger and screwed in the new bolt...Thats on the G and R151F trans...not sure what you have
I have the W50 and those pins were ok, but all the seals dust covers and gaskets were done. I found most of the parts... probably restore the shifter in the next video :)
Hey, just wanted to say I've used a couple of your older videos to build my 86 4Runner(dash disassembly vid helped a ton) and I also wanted to ask if you know of any places that would sell a brown center console(the one that has a rear heater.) I've tried eBay but nothing in the color I need.
Yeah I agree. I did a shave and tuck on my old civic and it looked great, but also took a lot of time. As I was putting all that stuff back into the white engine bay... I was thinking the same thing as you are.
Yeah, I had no choice but to put them back on the correct side when I found out that I'd never be able to unbolt them to bleed them. Bashing in the edge of the control arm wasn't as bad as I thought :)
❤What's the laser cleaner? I yielded great results with distilled white vinagar sprayed directly onto rusted panels, waiting 5 minutes, scrub hard with stainless steel brush for 10 minutes, spray on tab water and repeat. One auto panel finished within 35 to 42 minutes. ( 50% of the panel had layered surface rust which I was able too penatrate, clean, let dry, rust treat, sand, body filler, sand, clean, primer, etc, etc, paint. ) My way took adequette time to complete. However, if a quicker, cleaner way exists, that is afforadable - please clue me in. Really? Your laser cleaner appeared too smooth out the rusted surfaces down to one surface completely. Allowing you to avoid using body filler. Possibly even rust treatment ( the black sandable goo ) So, you've peaked my interest. Who sells a reliable one? Are these tools reliable? Or easy to maintenance & repair yourself? Average price?
The laser cleaner has been a game changer for me! Here's a full video all about it: ua-cam.com/video/rQxZAFO8vx4/v-deo.html It has been reliable for a year now without any issues.
@@6thGearGarage back in the day, (an i can't remember from where) I had a diagram to cut a specific shaped wedge to shove down between the guide rails and it would hold the tensioner in an hold up on the bottom of the chain. 30 years later i can't find the oak/baling wire tool.🤷♂️ I was certain the drawing was from an engine manual, but I looked thru all five Yota manuals I have with no success and none on the internet either...lol It MAY have been an insert in a headset or something I guess.

Great job! What I hoped you would do better was not painting that blue on the floor, on top of some rust that was there… I mean, you had all the tools to remove it.
Most of that dark stuff was left over from the sound deadening. There was one tiny spot I saw, but all the major rust was already cut out and replaced.
Hey, I did use the transmission brackets from your truck. I still have the 5 speed from your truck to use, in case this one is no good. I used the front hubs too because the 1980 parts weren't compatible with the drop spindles. I ended up selling the 22r because I already had a spare one.

THere were a few parts whereI had to go back and study the disassembly videos to figure out where they went. I'll paint it eventually but I'm going to drive it like this for a while while I start my next project.
You are going for cheap, you will spend more than the price of the vehicle and find the manufacturer's mistakes, I don't know which country you are in but Hungary has surpassed you tenfold, do you know, they do very detailed studies?

Fantastic. The fastner map is a great idea.

How can the booster hold vacuum without a master installed?
The master bolts to the booster, but they don't share any kind of vacuum. The vacuum is self contained in the booster. The booster has a rubber diaphragm inside that uses engine vacuum to make it easier to press the brakes.
Quick question. Turn signals on my 90 p/u stopped working. Both. Any suggestions? Relay?
Do the hazards still work?
@@6thGearGarage hazards solid on with switch on. On the dash anyways.

Hello, I noticed you didn't use the torque wrench when you installed the flywheel for the second time. Do you think it will be alright?
Yeah, the first time we checked them with the tq wrench, they were all right at 80. Good eye!
I'm talking about the metal brackets that are attached to cab corners
I’ve never seen those for sale anywhere. You will probably need to fabricate them.

Ebay is a good place to look, but they're hard to come by. Your best bet would be someone parting out a 4runner with brown interior.
@@6thGearGarage thanks for the advice! I'll look around :D
Please do a dual carb conversion!!!!!
I'd love to, but from what I read it's not practical for a street driven vehicle and very expensive.
Dont feel bad..Ive forgot that rear plate too...and drop the engine in before I noticed.........Dang!!!!!!
Haha you weren't the only one who commented on doing that... easy to miss when you're so excited to install a flywheel and clutch.
Wire tuck would've made it super clean, nice truck tho!
Yeah I agree. I did a shave and tuck on my old civic and it looked great, but also took a lot of time. As I was putting all that stuff back into the white engine bay... I was thinking the same thing as you are.
