- A Friend picked up this 4x4 toyota tacoma that was parked 5 years ago do to run issues. lets see how it has aged since then as we try to bring it back to life.

a friend of mine had an old ford tempo that wouldn't shift she was a single mother and really depended on it for everything, she had called the junk yard to come and get it and i was over looking at it before they came and found the plastic cap dry rotted and came off so i took a soda can tab off a can and used it to hold the connector on the ball and drove it around the block so it worked until the new piece came i put that on and she drove it for another 10 years until she got the volvo
I really miss my Ford Tempo, should never have sold it. The only thing wrong with it was the right rear door window wouldn't work (power windows), everything else on that car worked great. I somehow got 42mpg with it on a 300 mile trip in the middle of summer with the AC on....I didn't know those cars did that well on gas, but after making the same trip several times and got within 1-2mpg of it I came to realize they were much more economical than I thought.
Those Tempo's were tough cars.
And the Volvo likely still drives to this day lol
I love stories like this
Truck is OK, but how about more of that blue Ghia!!
I've been watching a little over two years and you never ask us to Like, Share and Subscribe like all the other channels. Thank you! GVBTW!
Matt's Off Road Recovery 101 - Never drive over the tow rope.
I adore these videos of you and your friends messing around having a good time, doing mechanics. Nothing better.
You know I’ve never commented on how much I like the 2 vid a week format so...... I like it! Thanks Mustie.
Glad you enjoy it!
@@mustie1 toyota tacoma any good?? 😂yota's never die man !!
I like the 2 a week format, but I prefer the 6 a week format
I got 212k on a Mazda b3000, rebadged Ranger, its got the Ford 3.0 vulcan, made to burn gas & e85. All mechanics say its a goid motor. Runs great. Good find, on the 1k Tacoma
David Seager you wanna watch him eat dinner and shit too? Lol
Step 1 , get a great deal on a non running vehicle . Step 2 , call Mustie1 for help.
Love your Channel 5150xVW. Yours and Mustie's are my favorite.
Step 3; Ask Josh who his favorite mechanic is.
Yes, I enjoy watching Mustie1 diagnose and fix a vehicle that has not run for years. The "helping out friends" format works great for me. I never understand these RUclipsrs who feel the need to own 20 cars just to maintain a following. It's all about the personality and the expertise, not the number of vehicles.
Step 4, don’t let that guy work on any vehicles.
Mustie1 might be too expensive to hire
Is it just me or do you get the feeling Mustie would prefer to work alone. Teaching and fixing at the same time gets tough...
Spot on.
I literally checked the comments half way through to see if anyone mentioned it! I was feeling fatigue listening to these two interact.
LOL, yep I was getting anxious not even being there, like having your kid working with you and not being able to yell at him.
Toyota sitting 5 years starts right up? Not surprised at all. Love it 💕👍🏻
My renault did the same , gearbox was toast but it started right up
That is a steal!! Looks like it needs some TLC! I have a 2008 with 156000+ and runs like a top. No rust. Keep her clean and serviced. Best vehicle I've ever owned.
I'm the first owner of a 99 Tacoma 5 speed .. Hit 325.000 this year.. Best.. same..
Hey Mustie, You got lunch! The Top Gear Hilux WAS a Diesel!
Yeap it was 2.4D
And not this model , it was a MK1 YEARS older than this model :-)
Hilux
Weren't they all diesels in the uk?
@@raymondhayes7673 If there were any gas ones in euroupe they wouldnt have sold many of them.
That friend of yours was really scary how he was not being very cautious!! Sure glad that you were there to Tame Him! That could've turned out really bad in a couple of instances! Great deal for him though. All the Best from Canada
$1000!? Damn! He stole that thing!
You're pup is getting up there in the human years.
Extra big hugs and pats on the back, it goes so fast. I know you know this.
Such a good looking pup too!
That's not his dog
@@danbartolini27 Still applies to Mustie's pup. Haven't seen him in awhile, hope he's doing real well.
@@PabloDiablo682 Everyone is different. You felt the need to share your opinion on the comment when nobody asked for it. Take care ❤👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿👍
@@PabloDiablo682 Imagine making this comment to a stranger who was trying to be nice. That says a LOT more about you, than it does the op you are commenting to.
I agree about the time but that pup isn't that old, runs well still and very alert. Still has plenty of years left imo, 5 or 6 years with a dog can be very rewarding. When my beagle lab mix beauty passed at almost exactly 15 she could still get up on her own and no issues with bathroom activities. She was slow, she didn't do much but she LOVED to ride and short walks. The last 5 years were as good as the first.
Hey mustie all of those trucks have whats called a shift lock release so u can get it outta park completely without damaging that pin
I was surprised you guys ran it that long without the water pump turning. Hopefully no head gasket issues from it. It was a great buy for $1000!
Another engaging video. Always enjoy Mustie1 when he's fixing things solo, but these occasional videos fixing stuff with friends are always great fun. Thanks to ( Brian I think) for allowing us to see his new truck, hopefully more updates to follow
The Top Gear Hilux was a 1988 diesel with 190,000 miles on the clock.
Thanks from the UK for another mid-week treat. Your friend did well, you too with that free lunch, nice truck. Stay safe.
Who else just knew that dude would try to put in park after being told not to? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I don’t know this guy makes me cringe I feel he knows nothing about mechanics which is fine but he’s trying so hard to act like he dose. Made me cringe a little
I think he hit the outside of a C-130 while jumping at Bragg, one to many times! 🤔@Lol!😅
Every time Mustie suggested something he did the opposite! Lol!
Or trying to force the gear shift with the key off and then key on battery disconnected. That dude is painful to watch.
"hasn't run in years" promptly revs the shit out of it, thats good for it.
Yep. As with every engine he gets. Stone cold. Revs til full noise. Every time
That's called an italian tune up haha. All old school mechanics I know do that when they first run something thats been sitting
That’s a Toyota thing. Cold or a long time of sitting makes it rev to 2k or better for a few. The old 22re trucks actually had a 5th injector to do that, cold start injector
What you think it's going to hurt it?
Poifect 👌
I've never been so glad to be in a place that doesn't use road salt! Thanks for the vid.
Sir, I just wanted to thank you so much for doing these videos. Recently, I lost a dear friend of mine, who was a great mechanic and even better friend. He was a teacher much like you. I always wanted to be as good at fixing things as he was and because of you I have learned so much and maybe one day I will be able to accomplish that. He left me an old DOHC honda 750 that I am currently rebuilding. I really hope that one day you will do a video on a motorcycle with 4 carbs and DOHC. In the meantime, best wishes and keep up the great work!
Check out Allen Millyard's channel
"Next on Mustie1: We raise the Titanic. Will it run?"
I don't think the jump pack and PB blaster will help that one
Mustie will spray the engines with WD40 and clean out the carburetors to get the engines turning on their own. Oh wait, the engines ran off steam from coal burners...this one might might be a challenge. 🤔
Mustie standing at the bow "I'm the Mechanic of the WORLD"
Yous are so silly, obviously the would check for spark first 🤪
To be honest, yours are one of the few channels with long vids that I actually enjoy and watch the full video, Liked, StaySafe Buddy
"All that rust that's on them, it stops real fast." Classic Mustie. Thanks for the video. Enjoyed it as I always do.
Mustie1 time. I am like a little kid back in the 80s waiting for his favorite TV to start. You are a Rockstar Mustie1.
Your experience with resurrections shines through Again. What a great way to spend Hump Day! Thanks for the treat!
Mustie1: "I think it's good for a test ride around the parking lot"
Vice Grip Garage: "Well I'll be dipped, it looks like we are good to drive her 600 miles back home"
proceds to buying 3 of "the good ones" batteries from the junk yard and strapping chinese LED flashlight to the bonnet.
What an excellent observation Mr. Miller!!! There are different aspects which I enjoy from Mustie, VGG & Junkyard Digs. They're all different - but all originally entertaining in their own way :-)
VGG risks it all for the fans!!
That was the best 1k investment ever, and that was the guy I saw in CT with that light blue VW on a flatbed a few weeks ago. 👍
Perfect timing, the thermostat of my car exploded (stupid plastic housing) and currently waiting for the new one to show up in about an hour.
Thanks for the video while waiting.
Plastic housing? what a joke huh? hopefully you got it home at least.
@@Ajaxaxxess yeah got home, wasnt far from home.
Called my work for a trailer and my uncle picked me and the car up and brought me home.
@@za-se4jv but it's just stupid to mould the thermostat inside a plastic housing.
It broke on the seam they weld the plastic together.
@@samuraidriver4x4 Dump, well its an easy fix for you atleast!
And it's fixed.
Still smokes a lot due to the coolant burning off but it should get better.
"Hasn't run in YEARS" So let me rev the shit outta it. On 5 plus year old fluids, send it!!!!!!!!!
Really lol
How many of you watch and when they hit a milestone check how much time remaining and am glad there is more wrenching to be done? confirmed the shifter works made me look, smiles for more time left!! :D
oh god, pulling it in park made me cringe so hard
Mid week Mustie1 makes my morning.
I love my 05 tacoma. Cheap to repair, runs as well as the day we bought it.
Just rolled over 415 k miles on my Taco. You got yourself a new ruck right there sir!
Hey Mustie all I wanted to say is thanks for the vids.
Could never figure out why you Northern guys feel the need to install rust on everything. I've got a '96 Taco that is rust free, and is a lot easier to work on that way. lol
Keeps people from stealing stuff off them, everything is rusted in place LOL...also keeps all makes and models on level playing field for resell value, they're all the same condition, rust buckets.
Hey, here in Texas we demand our Tacos be rust-free, but we do like them with cheese
@@wildbill23c except trucks. NE kingdom over prices trucks. pretty sure Vt charges a luxury tax for more rust on your rig.
My 1990 4runners are rust free up here in the VT rust belt. A old rust free Toyota up here gets looks and waves like a sports car
IcanFartLOUD with pico de gallo tacos are much better.
Awesome vid, fellas, with chuckles thrown in.
Good to see the Tac alive! 👍🏻
Great video and awesome find for a Toyota. Couldn't help but notice all the Type 1 & 2's around.. Makes me miss my 70' type 1 so much...
When they changed the frame, they didn't tighten up the bolt or connect that cable correctly. That is what I am thinking....
That's a TOYOTA for you!!! Sit's for 5 years, starts right up!
Mustie1 can make anything run, but even better, the adventure is what it is about. Much love to Mustie1. Keeping us Pandemic crowds happy. Stay safe Mustie1, love your videos. The Red Tractor engine swap I just watched again. Epic! That was a serious crack of the engine block. Toyota reliability. Neutral safety switch and cable. Sounds about right. Everything else would be dust. Love Toyotas!
You and your buddy are hilarious together. You guys should make more joint videos. I was in stitches when he did that burn out!
The rust issues you guys have to deal with in the east & midwest part of the country is always shocking.
A truck like that here in the southwest would still be like new.
Enjoyed the show. ✔
It really does suck
Any thing will runwith this man
Great video guys. I have an 09 Tacoma Sport, much like the one you have here. I had some of the same issues you had here. The shifter on mine is an issue if the truck sits for to long. Gets very stiff and doesn't always line up with the gear it's supposed to. You handled that issue very well. Another problem I had was the wheels. I had the same ones you have there and the way the clear coat is coming off, it causes air to escape slowly. When it's cool out, it seems worse. I ended up replacing the wheels with ones from a later model 4Runner. Same size. I have heard of other problems such as a very stiff gas door. The hinge gets so rusted that the door will break off. Yours looks like it may be almost there. Mine hasn't gotten there yet and I make sure it stays lubed. When I bought mine, it too had a draw bar in the receiver hitch. It too was rusted in place. It took about 2 weeks of spraying it with PB blast and beating it back and forth for it to finally come out. Now I don't leave it in and it comes in and out very easy for when I need to tow my camper. The one you have here has a new frame which is a plus. I'm not sure about the rust you have on the rockers. I have never seen that happen on any other Tacoma. I live north of Boston, so I see much of the same rust problems you do. I think with a little brake work, alternator and battery and some other minor repairs, you really got your moneys worth for this truck. The mileage really isn't too much an issue. With a little work, you can really make some money on this truck. Best of luck with this truck.
Sure loving your space, everytime I see it, I get happy for you!!!
I've replaced the shift cables in my 5 speed Toyota Echo twice now on the bottom of that shift lever there's probably a plastic bushing/pivot, and a cup on the cable.
He says it looks like something should be holding it; there's usually a U shaped clip that clips around the whole end on the cable, when you pop it into the plastic on the shifter; it should click and lock via the U shaped clip.
I love my Toyota, but the feel and function of all the shift cables they use is garbage; longevity too.
They want about $900 for new replacements; I get em' $20 a set from the scrapyard. Truck's a steal either way.
manual or auto truck? edit: oh you said on your echo, the tacomas' auto can get really stiff in the salty states if you don't shoot it with oil once a year maybe.
aw. I love good feedback from been there done that experts..they make life EXTRA greasy like peasee.
@@allenschmitz9644 huh

@@allenschmitz9644 hmm
A mid week mustie, thank you
I love your channel and i learn a lot. I especially like the motorcycle and other small engine videos.
Thank you and regards from the philippines
I hope these are good trucks. I turned 60 years old and celebrated by buying a 2021 Tacoma. My first new truck!
The Tacomas are as good as theyve ever been, if not better. With maintainence, they last forever! Theyre phenomenal trucks
Our 2003 has been great. 126000 frame was replaced by Toyota.
“Sitting for five years” seems like it’s becoming a theme..
For Vicegrip it’s more like 30.
@@robertgarbe6348 Yeah, but a guy thinks there's a world of difference between the two so I'm gonna do the right thing and hook my peepers around both channels.

"Ran when parked!", "Just needs a little TLC!", "AC works. Just needs some freon!"
That Tacoma not running, is worth more than my daily driver Ranger.
Good one money well spent, thanks for letting us tag along.
Central California watching
I'm all for troubleshooting and repairing all things but this vid made me realize that RUST issues are difficult to get by and ultimately kill the car. I'm in the market for a used Tacoma and thought an older truck would be fine, but rust is one thing I need to thoroughly check when buying it or just spend more money and buy something newer. Thanks Mustie
Two guys fixing a truck, midnight hours, having a good time, “No Beer” could have been a good “Sam Adams” commercial, but it was as always a great Mustie1 video.
My heart sank when I saw that truck speed up, honestly was convinced it was going to hit you!
Love my 2016, over 150,000 miles and all that’s been replaced is oil/filter, tires, and a few weeks ago my battery died. Beyond an awesome vehicle.
What a different world from New Mexico. We have no rust problems at all here. I have a 47 Willys that sat in a field for 8 years with no rust. Great video.
The HILUX that Top Gear thrashed was a 1988 diesel, the thing was a beast.
Omg dude! Thats the deal of the year. Those tacos usually go for at least 10k! Great content!
That was a happy puppy at the end.. Love when they drop the ball and look at you like, come on you can pick it up, you know how to trow it! ;-)
Great Video as per usual Mustie, we love the Toyota's over here in the UK too, but again you have to prepare the underbodies properly as the salt on our roads can produce quite alot of surface rust.
Can always count on the engine starting though.
We have a saying, 'If you want to go across the desert you go in a Land Rover, if you want to go and come back, you go in a Toyota'.
So glad I don't live anywhere near that rusty environment. Damn! Even the drive shaft looks perforated.
As a Tacoma owner in PA, the shots of the undercarriage fill me with dread.
Lol same here on LI
I remember buying a 91 civic about 10 years ago that had sit for a while. Trailered it home and got it running and the thing smoked like you would not believe. Massive clouds of thick white smoke. I drove it for a little while and as the miles passed, the smoke thinned out and eventually stopped. I drove that car for 3/4 years and it never puffed one drop of smoke again and ran like a champ.
i really do enjoy your vibe man!!!!
I was confused. I have coffee,im in my office,youtube n mustie and it is wednesday, not sunday as i first thought.
Mustie1 video on a Wednesday. It's gonna be a good day.
Well, for the next 45 minutes, anyway...
A pair of channel-lock and mechanic in a can, does miracle.
I have a 02’ TRD I had shipped up from Florida to Ohio. It has 190,000 miles on it. Runs great for being 18 years old! Great trucks!!!
Mustie1: “You could probably do a burnout”.
As If he wouldn’t do exactly that after you mentioned it! 😂
Oooh, a rare midweek upload.
Edit: wish I could have found a second gen 4x4 for a good price.
Very nice single 1st gen single next to it.
Always a exciting experience watching every video
My 05 tacoma has 91,000 miles! Still a baby!
the stuff you find soo cheap because folks don't even TRY to fix things!!
When you two get together, you know it's going to be a fun video. The running conversation is hilarious.
I love watching 2 videos a week keep it up
They are great trucks, I have a 2014 and it's a beast.
That's an amazing deal! Rust or no rust !
7:26 Mustie: "It's got a new frame some six years ago, but the rust of it... not so much." Hahaha!
I just started the video and I dont know if you cover it or not but take a close look at the frame where the engine mounts. The first 2 years of the Tacoma redesign had an issue of not getting the inside of the frame sealed against corrosion. There was a voluntary recall on those trucks for a couple years because the engines would fall out due to frame rot.
Just got through watching the Tacoma video. Great. Love the jumper box battery.🤙🤙. You can make anything run.
Mustie, My buddy got one just like that. Took into Toyota and they replaced the whole frame. Due to the recall. It's like brand new now with 200.000 + miles. God bless
imagine being afraid of spending a couple dollars at the mechanic and instead losing thousands of dollars basically giving the truck away
If you run a business, it's not always worth the gamble. The car takes up space, and space is money. You can use X on this one and earn X on it. Or get it out for 0.5X and spend the time on something you earn 3X on. Or less, if it takes less time. Time is also money.
@@rudolphbondefangerer5513 i meant as being the previous owner giving the truck away for $1000 when that could have been fixed inexpensively
If everyone thought like that there wouldn't be any awesome deals. It's the little small victories, such as this video that makes life good.
They probably did not want to spend the time to fix all the rust. Plus the tyres were almost due for replacement as well. Helps out others to and keeps the truck industry ticking over.
People with too much cash and too little incentive make it easy for the secondary market to have fun
Fantastic, you got it running and moving. Now replace the water pump and get the alternator belt on and see how it runs then. Hopefully it works and runs great. Hope you didn't blow a head gasket or warp a head. Thanks for sharing an enjoyable video.
I dont miss working on rusty vehicles. Texas now has me spoiled.
Me too. Where r u? I'm near Montgomery.
Hey Mustie The Hilux on Top Gear was a diesel, I work for Toyota in the UK and my mate Andy was the mechanic who was responsible for getting it to start up after what they did to it
Yep i remember the scence at the beach a can of wd40 and a crescent most likely to take the glow plugs out to get the water out of the 4 cylinders.
This is better than most movies I’ve watched on Netflix
And the blue/white VW Bubble window bus reminds me of a'72 i once had and rebuild the motor...
And the green double cab splitty a gem for the eyes..!
Looks like a "steal" just needs a little tlc...!
Result right there mustie good trucks thanks for the midweek vid 👍👍👍👌🔧🔧🔧
Boy I am glad I live in Australia and we don't have to deal with so much rust!
Too bad you've given up much of your freedoms.
Didn’t know there a shop in that building was an old parts store and the front was a pizza joint years ago now I know why I always see vws in there lol nice vid
I remember seeing a pizza place, drive by there couple times a month and didn't know about shop either.
Thanks for the great video
Nice video Mustie, as always. Keep that other dude as far away from your vehicles as possible. He's clueless.
I also use my Toyota to move my Toyota next to my Toyota
I do a similar thing with vws
Mustie1: Whatcha got? Doggo: Gotta pet me to find out.
Hump day video! Great! That VW Squareback at 1:00 reminds me of the one I had in the late 70s in Rock Springs, Wyo.. Mine had a head bolt that would not tighten, so you tighten it and drive it a few miles and it would stall. I lived that car but.......... Great video on what you can find and fix to work for little $. Love from NW Colorado. Thanxz
Rock Springs? Lol. Worked there 81 thru 83. U were there in the wild days. I then spent 5 years in Laramie. U in Grand Junction? Stay safe.
I’m liking these series
