@vanco22

did that :) Put the 33 inch tall, 12 and a half inch wide tires from my 81 on it at one point. The 81 did better though, mainly because i didn't hold back as much with that one :)

79-83 were the first years with factory offered 4x4. in 81 they went from the 20r to the 22r.

Thats cool man, i haven't heard of any 4x4's with a 4speed. I wonder if the ratios are all the same as the 1-4 gears in the L52 5spd 4x4 trans. (i think its an L52) I know 4th is 1:1, so that is the same in both, but i wonder about the rest. In my buddys 87 2x4 we took out his 4 speed, and put in a W50 out of my 79 2x4, and the ratios were crazy different.

@tommartyn i understand what you mean and lots of people wouldn't know that if they did their homework.. so i give you props.. but me and lots of other people the 80-83 will be a 1st gen... but that is just us.. i had a 82 yota long bed 4x4 with 22r and factory 4spd trans. it had a 3 inch lift with 33s under it..

:) Not entirely true man, the bodys style before this, there was a factory authorized 4x4 conversion that was done by a dealer, with shitty dana axles and stuff.

Either way, Saying 1st gen toyota, is totally wrong. Saying 1st gen 4x4 wouldn't be horrible, but people don't do that, and i spreads the idea that these were the first toyota's. Its ridiculous man. They literally made the same trucks, with older bodys. 20R engines, w50 trans's.. the whole lot.

[Mr4x4forlife]

@tommartyn this is the first gen 4x4.. so calm down.. yes toyota made other trucks before this one but none where a 4x4...

Bullshit, 1st generation my ass. There are atleast 2 other generations before this thing. Toyota's been selling trucks in america since the 60's.

Frames good on this one anyway. I had an 81 that broke in half, but not with only 2 beer left. It took a good 2 years, of pretty intense abuse before the very rusted frame finally broke.

So basically, bullshit all around :) 240,000 miles on the pig as well.

[ismokewead420]

until the frame of your 1st gen yota decides to pack it in 5 miles into the bush.... with only 2 more beer...
