Recently our buddy Kalen Thorien brought in a mint 1987 Toyota truck for some major upgrades!
Seeing work on these old Truck instead of new, flashy 100k$ + Vehicules is soooo much better!
Love working on older vehicles! 🔥
I just got a 2000 tundra... It's not a 87 but It's a good one
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.
Great work guys, absolutely love seeing older trucks get the upgrades and care they need!
Thank you! 🔥 we love to work on these types of builds!
Its a nice truck........but it's no 4 runner!🚙
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.
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!

I had a 1988 Toyota truck that I bought new, and drove 238K miles without any problems. These little trucks were built like tanks.
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.
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 ❤❤❤
They look so much better than modern trucks.
Such a classic look 🔥🔥
That peel out at the end, damn! 😂
I had an 87 , loved that little truck
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.
Thank you! 🔥
Very awesome truck!!! I had an 88 that looked identical!!! Sure miss that truck
I had an 87 EFI turbo... Loved is sooo much- I wish they made the smaller trucks again
These trucks always reminds me of back to the future
You guys are awesome very talented people there keep up the great work and keep the videos coming in
Thanks! More videos on the way👊
Great job guys!
Ms mcfly that's badass
Badass build for sure 🔥
You guys did a really great job on the toy 👍
thats a bad ass truck! very cool! I need a truck like this!
Happy adventures For
For next
1.5MILLION miles
Thanks🔥
Good job guys, looks good.
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.
Awesome! Yeah they’re great trucks and she’s invested a lot of time, money, and effort into this build! 🔥
Love those old square body Toyotas
Yess 🔥🔥
Awesome job!
Great video. Am glad RUclips suggested your channel.
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the channel! 🔥🔥
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!
Take a look on lc engineering, they have tons of great upgrades for 22r ,22re, engines,
Great job looking awsome. ... oh the truck looks good too. 😉
I’m weirdly obsessed with these Toyota pickups
They are rad 🔥
Can't beat the classic hilux.... absolutely beautiful... well done guys
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🔥
Not a hilux
@@Gniggaaa its a hilux...toyota just decided to call it the toyota pickup instead in the states
Watched now multiple times a lot going on in the video start to finish outstanding work dudes 👊. Sick build and perfectly shown here in the video a lot goes on to make it happen. All you dudes are lucky to build cool stuff for a living I know it doesn’t always feel like it but you are. Bravo 🙌 to you all for all your work talent. Cheers dudes 🍻
Very nice build guys !!
Thank you!! 🔥
Came out awesome!!!
Thank you! We thought so too🔥🔥
Beautiful build!
Thank you!! 🔥🔥
It’s always nice when someone else is paying for it!
One of my few regrets in my 50 years was EVER selling my 85 Toyota 4x4sr5 extended cab with the 22r-te. Damn kids. Lol.
Dang that is sad! Hope you enjoyed the video 🔥🔥
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!
That’s awesome! We love Toyotas! This was such an awesome build! Thank you for your support and for watching 🔥🔥
electric Tacoma lol 🤮
Great Scott
Great stuff!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the channel 🔥🔥
love old school cars and trucks.
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
Talented team!
Thank you! 🔥🔥
this channel is underrated!!!
i can see you guys going big on youtube!
Thanks for the support!! 🔥
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,
Awesome video!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
What size tires did y’all go with?
8:00 proves there is blinker fluid!
Nice job guys! Cheers from B.C. Canada.
Awesome! Glad you liked it!! 🔥🔥
Hello, I’m from BC living in Japan for almost 12 years. I have a 1988 Toyota Hilux back in North Vancouver. Can you please recommend a trustworthy shop to get new suspension, exhaust, new wheels and tires? I’ll also want to get some engine work done in the future. I used to go to ATEB in Burnaby, but they have long since closed.
That was badass! I wish yall could do my '94 Toyota pickup 🤙🏽
We wish so too! 🔥🔥
Subscribed guys love the truck outcome
Thank you for subscribing!! Glad you like the video 🔥🔥
Epic is right. Toyota and these mechanics made a nice 4x4 89 upgrade.
With so much aftermarket body parts it looks nothing like a OG Toyota.It was such a nice truck too.
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!!!
We have awesome techs! 🔥 we’ll keep that it mind! Glad you enjoyed the video!
So sick!!!
Good job ! 👍🙂
Thank you! 🔥🔥
Dream truck right there!
Right! 🔥thanks for watching!!
Wow, nice job 🤙
Thank you! 🔥🔥
awesome job
beautiful build
Thank you!! 🔥
Nice. I wish I could take my T100 to you guys. I have a lot of aftermarket stuff and you guys seem talented
Thank you for watching and hope to see you in the shop!! 🔥🔥
Crazy, I had to heli-coil the exact same head bolt on my ‘88 (drivers side between 3 and 4), except my head bolt snapped off flush with the block and I had to very carefully find the center of the bolt and start drilling it out. The next tough part was driving 2 hours to the only place that would rent me a 14x1.25mm heli-coil kit. Good Times. The good news is the fix lasted 157,000 more miles.
It’s a constant with the older gen Toyotas hahah but such classics!
You are the best Guys awesome work……..🎉
Thank you so much! 🔥🔥
That truck went from nice to … really cool
Thanks 🔥
that is one dope truck... almost tooo clean to modify
Very 🔥
I would love this truck so much.
That is a sweet little truck. A little loud for my taste but clean and beefy enough to get most places I'd ever want to be.
Exactly 🔥🔥 hope you enjoyed the video!
Awesome.
Dope video!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!!🔥
Talented team! Good luck. p.s. best compact pickup truck of all time.
Thank you! 🔥🔥 glad we could work on this awesome build!
Man!.. wish you have a shop here on my island...
Love that truck! I had an 88 like that except it was white put 32" tires on it and it wouldn't go over 60 mph
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
Those are well made
Yes! 🔥🔥
Nice looking toy. Need to plate the frame thought, that winch will only get a hand full of pulls on it before it rips it self off.
I love that Cherokee!!
Lost all of its Soul. Nice job.
Boutta pickup a 87 single owner yota myself for only 3500!!! No rust no nothin and now thinking about what I can do to make her a little more pretty
That’s awesome! Lots of options that’s for sure! Have fun with it 🔥
Miles identical outsider fact mine is Automatic, single cab, 2WD, 87 same color too. I'm 2nd local owner of it since it was new.
Awesome video
Thank you! 🔥
awesome!
Thank you!! Glad you liked the video! 🔥🔥
Sweet!!
Any way to get a parts list? Curious what wheels those were as well as where you guys got the bumpers, etc. Very sick build.
Thank you for the great content. Did you put out a parts list . If no can you? Thanks
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.

Nice little tractor

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.
You can contact the shop at (801) 953-1842 for any business related inquiries!
Every week I get notes left in my windshield that say: “hey buddy, how much for the truck? Give me a call “
Never in a million years!!!
IT WORLD BE A DREAM COME TRUE TO HAVE MY OLE 88 OVER HAULED LIKE THAT. 🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌
I had that exact truck. 1987, grey, and a camper shell. Now I have an ‘89. I liked the square fender flairs of the 87 better.
do you know what camper that was
@@terminator2149 no. Sorry.
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.
👍
That truck still looks good. It survived the test of time.
Right!! 🔥
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’ve owned plenty of 22r and 22re’s never done bigger valve upgrade…but what I did do was pull my recent 22r out and replace it with a 3rz..man oh man what a world of a difference compared to the 22r platform! And if that wasn’t enough..I ended up boosting it (low boost) 8psi. It’s become a different monster. Absolutely love it! Wouldn’t swap or have any other motor in my 84!
I had so much fun in my '85 Hilux back in the day. Sunk it once and floated it as well on the Rubicon. You'd be arrested these days and lose your truck for doing environmental destruction. Really
Yes, to get 50 horsepower from a 22RE you can swap in. LS motor and gain 200 horsepower. The 22RE is very limited. And very prohibited to get more pinnies from. Real fact.
Awesome🔥
Agreed the 3rz is an awesome upgrade from the 22r / 22re, I've got one in my 98 tacoma , not to take anything away from the 22 platform though great engine, I had a 81,83 and an 84 , and I used to work on a lot of the 22r engines, super impressed I had one that had 400k on it ,was still running good but I figured it was time for a rebuild, when I pulled it apart you would think it only had 100 k on it, you could still see the crosshatch in the cylinders from the factory and all the bearings really showed almost no wear, try doing that with a chevy or a ford no way lol
great bulid
Thank you! 🔥🔥
I would feel bad using this truck as a ski mobile lol I hope its getting lots of baths and regular coatings of fluid film
She takes very good care of this build 😎🔥
I was going to do some upgrades on my 87' 22re.
I put in a 7MGTE engine instead.
Nice! 🔥🔥
don't forget the flux capacitor!
Hahah it even hits 88 mph!
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.
Just ran into this video, and it's awesome I have 2- 87 4runners and would love to do those upgrades, where are you guys located
where is that rear and front bumper from? as well as the rock sliders i have an 86 and a like those same ones
