  • sick Yota dude! i have 1980 on 32s.. thats some great country for wheeling..

  • @elclavo79029

    Freaking nice man :) How's that 20R running? 32's are the perfect size man. No lift needed. These were 33's, with no lift, and it rubbed a little depending on how you were flexing it.

    yeah, got some nice woods back there

  • @tommartyn thanks man.. its been great since i had a cam for more torque put in,webber double barel carb and a Hooker Header put in as well.. i put a 140amp alternator put in that i had made form Quick Start Alternators. i get a bit rubbing still with my 32s,i just might do some trimming instead off lifting. here in the Texas Panhandle our winds get up to 60mph and if your too tall it will drag your rig down quick lol... your video reminded me of the San Antonio area where iam from. nice trees..

  • @elclavo79029

    Nice with the high amp alt :) Yeah, the stock 20R carbs aren't that great. These are some of the coolest trucks ever made man. for sure.

    Thanks! Yeah, i like it back in the woods here. Glad to have grown up living here. Keep on romping the toyota!

  • 6:55 hey look, I'm a boat

  • Chingaaaaaaaa

    Pinche pendajo

  • es el camarada che guevara ?

  • Destroying a good yota

  • @jaredalaska907

    Only good in some ways. Seriously horrible frame rust might not be good. But hey, if you had an extra, brand new frame laying around, then sure.

  • ha i bought a 89 toyota 4x4 ext cab from my best friend for only 400 bucks.. all it needed was a head gasket and a timeing chain. and its perfect now and it will climb a tree

  • @johneburke1

    Man, that was a lucky buy :) But if it had a solid axle in the front like these older ones, then it could really climb a tree :) The stiffness of a solid axle is good for that kind of thing.

  • How big of tires did you have on it man and was it stock suspension?? Make some romp videos of the dodge man

  • @skatecodered

    The dodge isn't for romping, its not a romping vehicle, and it won't be romped. Unless someday its road career is over. Then it'll probably get a good romping. But i need it to drive to work every day, and can't break it.

    The toyota is stock suspension, There are different sized tires on it at different parts of the video. The biggest tires you see on it, are 33's, by 12inches, i think that was the width. And they worked the best :)

  • do not the engine blew? the toyotas have te caracteristic of blew engine when it get into the water!!

  • @iquo407

    hahah, really? toyota engines don't blow up at all around here. water or no water :) i'll send you a video of my 83 and you can check that out :) I've had the engines litterally suck in water and lock up. Just changed the oil, pull the plugs out, crank the water out of the cylinders, and then put the plugs back in and fire it up. Toyotas are about the toughest trucks around man. even though any engine can take that kind of thing really. We've tested over 150 vehicles here.

  • @iquo407 Hah, toyotas never blow up, they are toyotas, they are built for that... They are beasts man...

  • @iquo407 the 22r has characteristics of being tougher than any other motor... is that what you meant?

  • what camera do you use for you night time videos tom?

  • @thebibleisfiction

    hey man,

    This footage was my Sony DCR-TRV 130. i think its a 2001 or 2000 digital 8 camcorder. Took really good video for when it came out. It had a really awesome light too, which helped with the night vision but its also got the infrared light for the real night vision. Now i use a sony dcr trv 70, which is a little bit newer mini-dv tap camera. higher quality, smaller. still got night vision, but no regular light

  • @tommartyn Thanks a ton man, I've been needing to replace my old camera.

  • @thebibleisfiction

    yeah man, if you keep looking on ebay, you can find them pretty cheap, with a lot of attachments usually. They hook up to computers with firewire. Mini dv tapes aren't cheap, though the digital 8 tapes are a little cheaper. ebays the place to go for cheap tapes. Get the biggest battery you can too :) on my old camera, the battery would honestly last over 700 minutes :) huge battery. The new camera's biggest battery lasts about 400 minutes. Still awesome.

  • Top gear tried to kill one (they call them a "Hilux" over in the UK) and couldn't. So long as you patch this back together, it'd make a nice trail truck. Part the old tractors out on ebay, guys get good money on Bolens stuff.

  • @ChevelleSSLS6

    Yeah, i saw that :) they could have tried alot harder :) In alot of ways we've really tested these machines, at least the mechanical parts insanely harder then they did. This thing is unfortunatly gone now a days... finally left last year. But i still have an 83 that i just need to finish bolting the engine in.

    I don't know if guys do get good money for bolens stuff. i know people charge alot for the tractors, and the parts, but i'm not sure how many people pay.

  • i totally have to get one of these as a play toy lol

  • @denisaaj

    Highly recommended man, they will out romp any other stock truck. hands down :)

  • 6:10 sounds like a lawnmower

  • @Nick998

    haha, yeah, it'll do that :)

  • i love these trucks, they are basically industructable, they made a Top Gear episode about them on the U.S. SPEED channel

  • @zywiecproductions

    Hell yeah man :) i saw the European top gear episode they did on these beasts. they took a diesel and did some pretty ridiculous stuff to it. drowned it in the ocean, put it on the top of a building that blew up. Crazy stuff.

  • A car in it's element, auto gear boxes suck Ballllllssss

  • @bonsaimountain

    :) I'm with you man :) Luckily they didn't even offer an automatic in the 4wd models back then. :) 

  • Izom

  • hell yeah

  • That guy cracks me up

  • i have an 81 toyota pick up on 35" tires. i dont thrash on it quite that hard. I still have a lot of work to do to it too.

  • @rednekyfz

    Awesome man! yeah, this one had bad bad rot when i got it, so we just fully tested the machine :)

    Hope you make the thing even more awesome! Please god though man, don't put a non 22R engine in it. i beg you. Keep it toyota powered. maybe the diesel toyota engine would be awesome, but please god don't put a 350 in it with an auto trans... i'll kill myself. haha.

    Seriously, toyota's are awesome the way they are.

  • 1st gen toyota,the best truck I ever owned

  • @thewalterodim

    These things are defiantly the best ever :)

    But they're actually 3rd generation toyota pickups. this was the first body style that had 4x4's though. Except for the ones that were officailly converted to 4wd at dealers, and sold as 4wd. Those were second generation pickups.

  • Maybe I'm just strange, but it really pains me to see the 79-95 Toyota trucks( IMO, the best ever designed) totally mutilated like this. I guess it does prove their ruggedness though.....

  • @brthdan

    i can understand why it could be hard to watch, because its being used pretty hard. but yeah, thats absolutely what its all about, it completly proves their ruggedness, and abilitys. Proves how amazing they are.  They can break in half, from rust like this one, and keep driving. without having to do anything at all to them! :) they're like the terminator.

    But mutilated, no. Mutilating one of these, is throwing a GM 350 in it, and even worse, backed up with an automatic :(

  • toyota only make rustbuckets

  • @mjns123

    hey! :) thats completely wrong actually, toyota makes, and made awesome, incredibly well built economical cars and trucks that require barely any work, and last for 300+ thousand miles. Great on gas, reliable, and fun to use. Probably one of the best, if not the best automaker ever. Hands down.

  • theres one right up the street from me behind an old house i went beck there once the lince plate sticker say 01 BUT the frame is GONE 3 to 4 inches of it on each side are compleatly rusted away

  • @casebutler

    Yeah, thats kinda the trademark of these things

  • I think you broke it, also that gerbil under the hood sounds sick

  • those are bad ass truck. mine is an 88 4wd

  • aah i love the truck. those lil toyotas are real troopers. i cant believe mine has lasted so long... you should glue the bed back on and tear it up some more, be sure to record it, too..

  • Thats the plan! :)  get that beast welded back together someday hopefully :) definitely record it :)

  • Great vid...I remember the old ones too!

    Makes me miss my Yota's! Hell you are the first person I talked to on YT.

    Best wishes,

    Bob & Deb

  • haha! :) nice :) yeah, hope you can get some more some day. they are always around somewhere. i'm glad you stumbled across our vids! And glad you've enjoyed seeing them :)

    Best wishes back at you guys :)

    Tom Martyn

  • god bless Toyota im gonna get one for my first car ever or truck i should say just need my license.

  • Yeah man! they really are amazing machines. The best really... No way around it.

  • hell ya thats a pretty badass video. toyotas can take a beating i guess.

  • yo if you wanna see a toyota get a real beating, search killing a toyota, there are 3 parts to the video.

  • :) if thats the Top Gear thing, with the mid 80's diesel red 4x4 i've seen that :) it is awesome :) Physical driving abuse wise, we've deffinatly beat toyota's alot harder then that. but trying to crush them, burn them, drown the, and fall on top of a collapsing building, they've got us beat. :) But crazy violent driving. thats all us :)

  • yo its me 19toyota81, i just made a new account, that top gear show with the toyota was unreal man, i wouldent of belived it if i dident see it.

  • Yeah, it was kinda weird, because i watched it, then i remembered hearing something about something like that from a guy i was working with at my neighbors house for a few days. we were laborer's for a stucco guy, and i drove this over after the back end broke off, and it reminded him of that, and was telling me about it. crazy awesome stuff :)  I WANT a diesel :)

  • nice tuck man, i also got a 81 toyota, and paid $500 for it aswell, and where is that place, looks like a good place to rip around.

  • Nice! This is the woods back where i live.

  • all that truck can is keep going. i envy u greatly

  • Thanks! I envy toyota :) they can build an awesome truck! :)

  • gotta love those old toyota trucks and you cant find a 4x4 for 500 bucks anymore you definetly have to get the beast welded back together

  • yeah i know! :) I got really lucky, the guy just decided that it was time to sell it, and threw a battery in it, fired it up, and parked it by the road :) Then luckily drew saw it :) Definatly definatly gotta get it welded back together :)

  • man you brought back fond memories of days past, looks like y'all had fun

  • :) we did have some fun. It brought back fond memories of days past for us too, because this footage is about 4 or 5 years old, and its been a while since this truck wasn't broken in half. very cool to see the stuff that made us so proud of it again :)

  • Shweeet! Awsome romp footage!

    yeah that frames in pretty sad shape- maybe y should get some rectangular tubing and make a whole new back frame for it? Slide it in the front part of the frame, weld and bolt it in.

  • Thanks man! :) Probably one of 3 of my favorite vehicles ever. Most of the frame is totally ok, but right where the bed meets the frame (classic toyota break rust and break point) is where it is messed up. alot of welding is already done. hours and hours of work. but now it needs to be connected to the cab again. :) and i'm generator-less for the welder. i was using old vertical shaft simplicity frame for weld material :)

  • Make a portable one out of one of your tractors using a high amp alternator and a 12 volt to 110 converter- thatd be cool.

  • That would be awesome, i doubt it would be enough power to run the big stick welder i have though. Would be nice to have a generator tractor for drills and stuff though!

  • nice! but when you weld it back together, take the time to weld up the spider gears in the diff and possibly put some tires that actually have tread on it like maybe some old military style ones.

  • Yeah! that is a definate! :) welding the spider's. Probably front and rear, though it will suck bad with the manual steering... Maybe i'll put the power steering from the blue 2wd on it! :) haha! :) yeah, posi, new spark plug wires, and tires with tread... thing will be unstopable :) As always, no lift required :) Toyotas rule :)

  • Hells Yeah!! You know it!!!

  • for 96 hp those things can go!

  • haha! :) yep, and this thing needed a tune up for sure. :) half the time in the water running on 2 or 3 cylinders :) Could have really done some stuff with 4 :)

  • i have a question. have you ever seen a lazyboy recliner gokart? i want to build one. lol

  • I've never seen one, but man, that sounds comfortable!

  • I paid $1000 for my '80, and it was still well worth it. It still kinda' works, but the thermostat failed closed and it overheated bad, so it probably has a warped head. That's the weakness of 'Yotes. Well, that and Birfield joints. But they're still great trucks; at least these old straight-axle ones are. I really want to put a Mercedes diesel in mine, especially since the discussion about running one with no coolant.

  • hey, what are birfield joints? is that the name for the type of Constant Velocity joints the front end has instead of U-Joints? Those things seem really strong, and Way better then U-Joints. no tire shaking violently when the wheels turned all the way :)

    Yeah, Could be warped. Can get it shaved though. Thats what i'm gonna have to do with my 20R head i bet. Merc diesel :) Would be totally awesome though :) How many HP? The advantages in DEEP water ability are awesome too! :)

  • Yeah, Birfs work smoothly, but they are the weak point that always breaks on the rock crawler 'Yotes. And they are expensive to replace, unlike U-joints.

    My 4 cylinder Mercedes diesels are 60 hp and 134 cubic inches; same hp and size as a flathead Willys "Go-Devil". Torquey too. A 20R definitely beats it in performance, but the Mercedes engine is tougher and more fuel efficient.

    Don't get me wrong; I like 20Rs until something happens to cause them to overheat.

  • Man, i'm supprised they break. Thats what the willys use, and giant military trucks, and huge 6 wheel drive concrete trucks. The parts are bigger then u joint parts. very supprised. You know what though, i bet if they had came with ujoints, they would have been very weak ujoints that would break even more.

    That is really awesome how closly related the 2 engines are :) both OHC too i bet :) Yeah! much tougher and more fuel efficent, plus... no ignition parts to cause problems :)

  • Wow... 7:06

    You really got that thing nice and stuck

    I love those old toyota, hurry up and get her welded back together! Sweet footage Tom.

  • yeah, i messed up. it was moving, then i had to back up just one little bit too much, and the thing was just pinned. i don't even remember how we got it out. maybe a come along.

    Yeah! i gotta get that beast back together. i miss the thing.

    thanks! :)

  • cool rally day,. in the back yard :)

    5outa5

  • Yeah man! that night, i knew it was sopposed to rain alot, so i told drew he should take off work, and come romp the beast in the flooded little creek. and he came by on his lunch break, and romped for about an hour or so :) it was awesome :)

  • To boldly go where no man OUGHT to go.

    crazy

  • haha :) thanks man :) Crazy fun :)

  • oh shit thats the split one? lmao

    what the fuck is that at 1:38 haha

    $500? i would've thought for free or $75 lol

    and damn 200, 000? sure it didnt roll over, a few times lol

    whatever happened to that truck you got from that kid?

  • yeah! thats the beast before it broke in half. it was an awesome pretty much instopable romper. 1:38 is me after getting soaked by the tire. :) it was cold out too. it looked pretty perfect when i bought it. 10 minutes after i got it i drowned it i the creek :) water more then half way up the grill. sucked in the intake :)

    We still have that beast, but haven't really done much with it yet. Its kinda been sitting. i want to put a head gasket in it.
