Extra: Death Wish Hilux Road Trip Build pt:2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 янв 2018
- This is part two to the story of a two week cross country road trip that took 3 months and 3 motors in a 1977 Toyota Hilux. The journey started in New Hampshire, made a stop to do some shock tuning in Las Vegas for the Mint 400 desert race and picked up this abandoned desert vehicle with hopes to drive it home. The net result was a widebody, turbocharged 5.3L LS1 swap and a whole lot of new hot rod friends made!

Lake Charles, Louisiana. That’s where steamboat bill’s is located. I live about five minutes from the restaurant. It was neat to be watching this video and to hear Josh talk about my hometown!!!!!
Love the story of the truck they're still good-hearted people out there
Who's the hater that didn't like the video? Keep on keeping on Vague!
Love the story. Teasing us with 2 episodes...
Awaiting your appearance on Sloppy Mechanics Radio Show.
Dude, this is legendary. Need more, soon please!
Goldmarble I'll get another episode up soon!
Excellent, glad to hear it!
@@VagueIndustriesTV soon, huh? Lol
I like the story so far! I want to hear the rest of the story! When's the 3rd omw coming out?
Blessings to Joe, hes a true bro- going above and beyond is a true toyota fanatic signature
Love the videos on the hilux . Cant wait for for of you antics in what ever . The modified lawnmower was crazy...
My 91 is so similar to what dude is saying yet mine has been sitting for less time was back out in a farmers field so i replaced the vacuum lines i plan on doing an oil change then a rad flush the injectors. I all ready had the frame touched up. Weather stripping door seals, Rocker work the front cab corner as well as the floor mount support. Bed is 100% scratch fabricated by an ARC welder i managed to get only 2 stock rims the front rims aside from being for a trailer well their now being used as working rims. Hood is held down with hood pins. As dude say's the molding on the doors around the window's yea shot and junk. I removed the hood on my own then i used just my knee to mold it into shape so it would properly close as it would bind on the valance between the cracked windshield and the hood. I also chopped up the stock ugly bench seat that was shop for 1 high back racing seat the passenger get's a 20's or 30's style bomber seat it look's great i hand stitched it yet it's not 100%.
I really wish i had a go pro cause when i first got it and drove it back it was 500% a death wish as the rim was drilled honed and bord to bolt to the Toyota 5 bolt lug i literally kicked it even forced it to bolt up just to work we and by we i mean me and my father were even having to deal with these hungry scrap guy's who had no way of getting it out of the back field. The vary scrap guy's well they did get the bed of the truck day before i bought it. The hole 3 hour drive back the tire on the right rear was so bad you would swear that it could fly off shoot straight in the air and launch cause it was the wrong rim wrong bolt patter and it was wobbling like 90 their were no tail light's only 1 headlight as for the front turn signal's they worked yet the left housing was broke and just hanging on by 1 or 2 screws the right corner light gone. No front bumper 3 trailer rims with bad weather cracked tread and the rear bumper was mangled and strapped down.
Right now its got 2 cree led light bars just small and universal's a 4 or 5" universal tracker head light on the right that's vary bright and it matches the stock still working factory sealed beam light on the left.
Hope this story of a 1991 Toyota Hilux base mode is quick surprising as their is a similar truck in the world not quit the same year yet a similar model with a 22R-E.
Lastly i lucked out and was never pulled over or charged for driving it the 3 hours back that on it's own was pure luck cause that was 500% more road kill then the Nascarlo
Love the videos
must have more!!!
Just saw your episode on Hoonigan and dug through RUclips to find your channel, absolutely love the back story to that helix and all that it took to get there! Itd be rad to hear more about the trials of that trip and that truck!
Stay subscribed. I'll be posting more soon
Love your story guy can't wait to watch more
hackstack0 thanks man
Yup...you're in it now! Emily and Aaron over to flying Sparks have given you a bump in views...now all you gotta do is edit the videos and pump 'em out! Blessing or curse, you famous!
My deal was a '73 Chevy Luv with a 455 Pontiac Super Duty back in the mid '80s. Not even one pic, and for sure no videos! I always wanted to revisit that thing with a more sensible engine, but life got in the way.
I like the video style so far...keep on keepin' on!
Bluswede haha thanks man! Those two are amazing!
Not so bad yourself, there, slim!
Keep telliin' your story, folks will join in to watch. Most of us out here are couch potatoes and 'keyboard warriors'...those of you who actually DO something will be followed!
One of the most important things...if you screw up on some project, admit it, own it, and tell us how you will avoid repeating your error! That is like gold to the subscribers!
Bluswede this truck is 100% failure. Haha
LOL!...all the better, then! I once had a company owner who was interviewing me for a design job tell me that he'd rather hire someone who got a 'hard C' in school than someone who got an easy A. His logic?...the easy A student hadn't learned as much. Pressed farther, the interviewer allowed that lessons learned from failure, and hard work to correct it, are far more likely to be remembered than lessons breezed through with little work.
Another quote along those lines: "Failure is the best teacher.".
This is why 'Roadkill' has such a rabid fan following...you can actually LEARN something from seeing a couple bumbling idiots have 18 failures in 200 miles, that they fix with baling wire, bubble gum, and spit, then reading the comments section. Seeing a spotless shop throw tons of blindingly expensive parts at a flawless carcass in a 'three day streetrod build' only teaches people of modest means that they can't have fun modding a car!
Your Toyota bears a striking resemblance to what my next-gen Chevy Luv was going to be: Old-school smallblock Chev with home-ported '441' heads, Borg-Warner T 5 tranny, Ford 9-inch disc brake rear out of an early '80s Lincoln Versailles, Chev Nova front stub, home-built rear frame, wide-body 'kit' made by patching in 6" of flat sheet metal just outboard of the fender mount flange, re-used large tube bumper/brushguard, roll bar mounted to frame just behind cab, and a wood 'stake bed' for some sass! There's a 30-yr-old sketch of it around here somewhere...
The lessons learned from the first, failed, version were: Big block Ponch/turbo 400 automatic, too big...truck's stock front end, too small...open rear end, too open...truck's 'rake', perfect...pickup box, too boxy...my balls, too ballsy...and no roll bar, too stupid!
LOL!...all the better, then! "Failure, the greatest teacher is." Yoda in Star Wars.
But the quote is ancient, and just as true here on Earth as it was 'far, far away'.
I'm sure that you could dig up a flawless carcass and throw $50,000 purpose-built aftermarket parts at it and have a lovely street-screamer, but who out here in Tubeland would learn anything other than that they have to be rich to mod a car...where's the fun in THAT?!!
I among others, to be sure, am looking forward to seeing more of the nuts and bolts of this build...hope you are able to share!
