@tommartyn Hey, have you got a couple of old snowmobiles? Instead of putting wheels back on it, use the tracks from the snowmobiles. Turn the thing into a mini half-track.
Yeah! we didn't know either! And we didn't even cut it in half :) it was rusted in the middle, and over about a year and a half, it broke completly apart on its own! with us driving it around in the dirt and all of course :) But we got really lucky, because the gas tank stayed connected! :) and had a skid plate to drag on the ground and protect it :)
wow! you guys got lucky that the tank stayed on. my trucks muffler was so rusted that it wasnt even connected and it drug on the ground i gues thats why the guy sold it to me for $500 bucks. mabe i should check to see if the back doesnt fall off lol
yupp 20r head on 22r block, its suposed to flow better and the powerband kicks in sooner. this thing rips already, 3 inch lift, 33inch mickey thompson baja claws, i picked her up for 500 bucks rusted beyond repair, took me a year and 2000 dollars and it now looks like it came off the showroom floor, except my box, i rivited on alumanium box sides lol
:) man, that is awesome :)33's are the way to go with toytotas! they jut fit and look perfect. thats whats on this beast. and later had them on my 83. very awesome toytota you have man! :)
I think it will probably buff-out! LOL. Thanks for supporting the solid rep. that 'Yotas have for being impossible to kill! My '93 has 184k on the ticker, and is now a solid axle, dual 'cased, trail-only rig, so I sure hope it's a survivor like yours.... ;) Kick-ass vid!
hahah, they all ready know about the toyota trucks though. the one they tried to kill, the frame was snapped, and the bed was actually holding it together some. thats one of the coolest things ever from TV. an honest look at toyotas... yeah. :)
yeah, that would be crazy! and weird to drive too, because they would pivot too, so it would probabably drive straight no matter which way you turned the front wheels, but the body would be on an angle... man, that would rock.
You Sir have got to be one of my favorite Toyota owners. Of the hundreds of Yoto videos I seek out on the web your videos are hands down the most entertaining of all. I only know one other person that might consider doing what you have and thats me, lol. So far my 1983 yoto 4x4 has zero rust and a solid frame so I will just have to wait another 30 or 40 years before mine splits. Thanks, You can see my Yota on my profile but its kinda boring compaired to yours.
"You sir, are a mother fucker" i got for my one dart vid! LOL
Awesome, no rust! If they didn't rust out they would last forever. my 83 toyota has a solid frame for now, but its filled with lots of dirt, and some surface rust, going to have to figure out something to do with it. The 20R needs a head gasket, coolant goes into the cylindrs, and it runs horribly. video of it up soon! can't wait to watch your videos! Thanks for telling me about them!
Yes hes realy done it with this toyota. Welding in wheels heh good plan. Oh you guys know they make plug kits for your toyota frames right. The last truck I killed was a 79 bronco, cant brake the frames in those so I had to settle for a broken timing chain lol
Yeah, i've thought about that before. because we had the back of the cab sitting on a tow dolly, and it was cool looking, but i started working on welding it back together a long time ago, and hopefully that will actually get finished at some point.
u may weld it back together but it will never be as strong as it was before. im sure u wont mind if it brakes in half again. how in the hell did u manage that in the first place??
it actually was extremely rusted right where it broke. and over our 3 years or so of romping it, all the rust broke and so it became a Half-Truck. So our Crazy over kill weld jobs might end up being stronger then the rust that was originally there. thats my hopes anyways. and if it brakes again, that ok. its fun as a half truck
i'll try to restore it to working 4x4 condition, but i'm not going to go crazy with all the stupid stuff that dosn't matter. i just want to make the awesome truck work good again. and have much more fun with it.
250,000? u amazed by that? mines working on 314,000. this is a nice vid, seen part one on some other site. amazing none the less. i did see the "demolishion" on top gear.. didn't work. lol. them damned things go anywhere, just add ground clearence. lol. trust me.. i know.. mine.. 87 w/3inch body lift+32's. great truck
heh heh, the mileage is amazing considdering it always ran perfect (except after i got mud in the gas tank) and ALL the seriously insane abuse we gave it. yeah, we saw that top gear thing after we this thing broke in half. so we'd already put it through alot of the same abuse. flooded it out under water. i don't think they need more ground clearence really. the pre 84's anyway. they fit 33's and only rub when you turn all the way. or crazy flexing. this had 33's on it stock.
stock suspension i mean. front suspension. the rear had some 2 inch lift thing. but didn't need it. i did put the same 33's on my 83 toyota. with all stock suspension. it sucks they changed the fenders and made the bigger tires not fit on the 84 and up.
hey, sorry if i seemed cross on this. but yeah, i've seen stock toyotas with 33s. but mine wouldn't cut it. and even if it did, mine already happened to have the lift and tires, cheapest way to go. i have a set of 33s, but they're a bit bald for winter, ya know? lol.
this is so unbelievable...i saw part I of this series --i cant believe it still runs!! Did u see Top Gear episode on trying to destroy a toyota truck (and failing)
all the footage you saw of this, it didn't have ANY oil pressure. so it has since seized, but at idle, so i think it can be broken free. 250,000 miles on it! i'm slowly welding it back into a truck again. so it might be whole again some day! with any luck. it deserves it!
that top gear episode was great! it was cool to see a widespread demonstration on TV about how incredible these things are. i wish i had a diesel.
The dude i bought this from hauled mulch with it for years, then let it sit for 10 years outside, the frame rusted severly between the cab and bed, so after a year of me having it, and us Romping it pretty hard, it broke in half, we drug the back end untill it fully broke off. just had to cut the emergency break cable. i think i put the video up of it finally breaking...
