Any Chance you can post parts used on this build. Suspension, lift, etc? this is a beauty. I have owned my 88 4x4 for over 30 years. 153,000 original miles. :)
if you're in a race around the world 20 X the Toyota 22RE would Probably be the champ if 4wd was needed... If not, it would be neck and neck with an old VOLVO!!! My 4 cyl Yota has a top speed of 73 mph!!!
Hey guys, I really loved the video and definitely the truck. Quick question, how much did that cost? Just a ballpark number. I have a '89 toyota pickup 4x4 extended cab 5 speed. Thank you for the great video
...hate to see it, those original parts they removed, are worth more than the new ones they put on... Old parts, were forged, not made in cast molds... I worked on Datsun and the TYA, that's Toyota before they changed the name.. It's sad to watch the younger generation destroy vehicles by putting new, low grade and easily broken parts on.
I had that exact truck when I was 18 in 1994. Truck was still going when I sold it( had a kid) in 2002. The truck was IDENTUICAL. Even down to the tires. Great vid.
My 86 TOYOTA is still going strong with only 548,000 on the speedometer. front end is all still original. But I'd love to see you guys have it in your shop. Thanks for the video.
Truck looks great reminds me of my 84 , my only complaint would be the exhaust too loud and droney, that will drive you crazy after a while on the highway, I had my truck like that in the beginning and then I couldn't stand it anymore, I have a header on my truck and an rv cam also but I put a stock muffler and a full tail pipe , Not only was it nice and quiet like a 4 cylinder should be imo because no matter what you do you cannot make them sound good , I actually feel like I gained low-end power Toyota's hate exhaust leaks or too large of an exhaust they lose all their low end,
I have a 1986 pickup and a 1988 4Runner...I want to do just about everything you did to this rig to both of mine..great video. Wish you had a list of the parts you used!
So...a couple of things. One. I hope they treat the undercarriage of that Toyota with some sort of high performing rust inhibitor. Driving that 'Yota around to ski resorts on salty winter roads is going to eat it alive. Two. While the KO2's are great in snow....they suck on ice. Other than that....its a great looking Toyota. You guys did good work.
Love the work guys, just something about a nice old truck over a new flashy one, especially an old truck you know you can rely on. One thing that wasn’t for me was the new exhaust was too loud, but that’s subjective. Everything else was awesome.
I had an ‘87 while I was college. I wasn’t driven very much but was used to hunt elk, mulies, and pronghorn. During these hunts it did get used and abused, but never let me down!
What an awesome truck! Toyotas are the best! And they hold their value VERY well! I’ve owned every generation of Tacoma (yes I know this isn’t a Tacoma): 1st Gen, 2nd Gen & currently the 3rd gen. And I plan on buying the electric Tacoma when it comes out!
This is my Lamborghini ❤. As a half Pakistani born in UK, this machine is in our blood and a favourite amongst many old school Pakistani. And good ol' usa folk from London UK ❤❤❤
That’s a Straight out Master Tech, I didn’t even see him measure the clearance/tolerance on the rear locker. You have to do a follow up review on that Taco!!!
That made me salivate! That was a good build. I have a '87 Toyota Pickup Turbo that needs some major work. Currently collecting dust. Don't know if I'd actually do it because of the cost of parts but would you be able to restore it? I'm down south in Arizona.
We could likely help out with restoring mechanical components. Reach out to us via email and we can talk through some options! tyler@saltygearsoffroad.com
I know I saw the parts list in this comment thread before....but cant find it. Can you share again...Im working on an 87 22r identical model except mine needs resurrected from the dirt. Its my dream for it to look like this baby. Was this truck repainted?
Most of those have blown head gaskets from closed thermostats and as odd as it sounds i always find these trucks with 140k or so miles with a blown head gasket...i drove my 88 for 14 years it had over 600,000k wen i sold it and the odometer stopped working 3years before that 22re is the best made , always use Fail-Safe thermostats ,keep em full of water and they'll last Forever Ps. And change the front seal ever now and then LoL
Had an 83 with a 22r with a header and the rv cam , 4 speed trans, 6" of suspension lift ,3" body lift and 36" tires , same deal didn't want to get out of its own way , the 4.10 gears were not enough for the large tires, I ended up rebuilding the differentials and installed 5.13s, giant improvement, the truck could even do a smoke show after that lol
Este tipo de camión es genial , simplemente grandioso e increíble , bien es sabido que en la década de 1980 hasta la fecha siguen dando dolor de cabeza a las marcas americanas como Ford y GM Toyota # ((( 1 )))
it's kinda stupid to say there are epic upgrades, then never mention what you're actually putting on there or where you sourced it. You could have done nothing and it would have been as useful as this stupid video.
I just stumbled across this video and subscribed to your channel. Great work and I love the work atmosphere you have there. We offer an EFI solution to these 22RE trucks/4runner and Tacomas. Let's talk about how we can help make your customers some additional power especially with the supercharger kits.
Як добре що в США не має війни. Please American’s переведіть моі слова. В Украіні 🇺🇦 не має запчастин для ремонту своіх авто. eBay не може доставити в Украіну потрібні запчастини вашого ринку. Ви застдиві люди. Бережи вас Господь )
It's really hard to find parts for those older Toyota trucks. A friend has an 85, it's nearly impossible to find stuff that just wears out and gets tired, like rear window seals, door seals, trim, etc. It's a shame. Good trucks go to be trashed, for lack of relatively minor repair and restoration parts.
I have a rust free straight 87 ext cab that I need some interior pieces for. You have Any tips for where to find so dash kits? Or just go to picknpulls and get lucky?
Quedó hermoso, yo también tengo uno del mismo modelo y del mismo color, y me gustaría que mi lo dejarán igual, pero estoy muy lejos, vivo en Guatemala, saludos . Soy nuevo suscriptor, bendiciones.
@@damnitdang yes, I agree. I had 33’s with the stock gears and I couldn’t even use 5TH gear anymore unless going down hill. I re-geared to 4.88 when I put lockers on the truck. Night and Day difference.
35" super swampers , lockers in the front and rear. And don't forget a set of 4:56 gears and the truck will grow teeth. With a good set of gears you don't need more horsepower. I know all of this from personal experience. The factory 22RE is fine. To gain 50 horsepower from a 22RE it cost major bucks. Save the cash and buy gears and lockers.
Well I have a 85 Toyota 4×4. I know it's the one everyone wants because it has the straight axel . Love my 85. She is putting some big money into that truck.
Had a ‘92 and went to take the head off and had both head studs that are between the exhaust ports of 1&2 and 3&4 break off inside the block. 22r(e)motors are notorious for that. Heli coil didn’t hold for me so i had to use a time set
Hey guys, curious what you actually did to the engine. Was it a stage 1 head/camshaft from LCE? I have a gen 1 tacoma that suffers from a serious lack of power, and figured it might make more sense to do this than put a blower on. Thoughts?
Imo I wouldn't go the supercharger route, I had a few customers with superchargers , all of them said the same thing there wasn't enough of a benefit to justify the cost and having to use super unleaded every time you fill up, one of them went with a turbo setup and is much more happier, he didn't care about having to use super as it's not his daily driver the other one went back to stock but added a header and a free flowing intake, he didn't gain much but he also felt like he didn't lose a lot, camshafts for these engines are stupid expensive
I bought this EXACT Truck new in 1987. I FOOLISHLY traded it it away into Fred Beck Pontiac (now closed I think) in 1989 for a new Pontiac FIrebird while living in Maryland. I wonder if this is my original truck?!
Is a long crank normal on these older Toyota's? Mine takes the same amount of time usually, but always fires, even if it sounds super weak. Had maintenance done on engine so it can't be negative.
“Long” is subjective, but they don’t start immediately like modern vehicles. If you’re confident in the maintenance work performed, it sounds like it starts every time and will get you where you need to go!
I restored an '87 Toyota Pick up just like that a couple years ago. Great truck, (Not fast) I really like those bumpers and Running boards, How much was all that work? $$
@@saltygearsoffroad sounds about right, I have well over $25k in my restoration and still need a few parts like those bumpers and Running boards. Great looking stuff.
Located in SLC, UT actually! We work very well with every customer to help build their cars within their budget. But I guess you’ll just have to call to find out 🤷 (801) 953-1842
