    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.

      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 😢😢.

    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 read some years ago that the 1982 to 1985 model years were redesigned by the Toyota Landcruiser engineering and design team. Being essentially a lighter weight version of the venerable Toyota Landcruiser it is no wonder those years were such good 4x4s.

    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.

    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!

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.
