      Some electronics are good. Traction control and brake blending on my motorbike are a definite relief, and the quickshifter is super fun.
      The constant nannying by my car that won't let me have power if the front wheels slip even a little bit, and then takes away everything until the engine calms down enough for the turbo to stop? Makes me want to shut the whole lot off, but I know I'd just understeer into a ditch on the first rainy day.
      Hill start assist? Turned it off as soon as I got the car. I know how to do hill starts, the car does not.

      That’s true. The. 4 runner wasn’t available in America until 1984. The land cruiser was under military contract to some Central America country. My family had the third 4 runner sr5 to come in to the state of Georgia in 1984. Back when the biggest tires you could get were 33s. Man that was a great truck.

    My condolences Hillbilly. Thats one sweet toyota you inherited. As others have mentioned thats not technicaly a 4runner, but a Trekker. It was the predacessor to the 4runner. I've only ever seen a couple listed on craigslist. I have an 85 4runner that is verry similar, but with the next generstion truck body lines, and EFI. I love my runner. It's really rough inside and out, and I feel it's underpowered for daily driving. However, it would take someone willing to pay about 10 times it's actual value if they wanted to get it off of me.

    I'm with Hillbilly on this one. Robby you have a very beautiful vehicle, I'm very happy for you. I've had new vehicles as well, I discovered they wound up owning me- I worried about parking them in parking lots, getting scratches and dings. Maintenance, insurance, upkeep and of course things going wrong with them that were very expensive. Hilbilly's vehicle gets him from A to B, Maintenance, insurance, etc. is so much cheaper. If you get a door ding or a rock chip you won't be crying. Thankfully Hillbilly can work on his relatively inexpensively and hopefully not wait months for parts. Your Sequoia is absolutely beautiful. I pray you and Hillbilly both enjoy many happy, safe miles and adventures in your respective new rides. Hillbilly I'm sorry for your lose, I'm sure your uncle will be riding along with you. Love all of you guys, stay safe and GOD bless

It had automatic locking hubs, (that was the FIRST thing to go, swapped them out for some Mile Marker Locking hubs), the cream color paint with Gold wheels, (I STILL have those wheels:) and 4.10 gears, no lockers.

    Robby, If you have not tried a 2022 GMC Yukon AT4 then you are missing out. Heated & Cooled front seats, Heated rear, Full length Sunroof, Button to lay down rear seats. Button to pop forward second row to get to third row. Been across country twice, sooooo much room for bags. Hauls like a beast with 10 speed transmission. Max Air-ride and Air-bags from entry to 6 inch lift in 4 wheel drive. Sickest vehicle. You will never drive another.

    I ordered a 2022 Sienna on April 4th of 2022. It was finally delivered last week on March 25th. It is a 23 model, and loaded. It was worth the wait.

    We have tried to buy several vehicles from Briggs. They have played games on every one. They have tried bait ans switch. They have played the whole “its at our lot in this town right now” game (saw the vehicle in the back). All sorts of fun stuff. Would be hard pressed to shop there and definitely wouldn’t suggest it. Glad you had a good experience though!

    Been using Avalon King for 2 yrs now on our Subaru. It’s so nice to just spray car off and it comes clean. Even snow slides right off. Have to reapply this year. Even tho its still working.

  • @94eg8h-t4
    @94eg8h-t4 Před rokem

    My condolences on your uncle. As I'm sure has been stated by now that's not a 4Runner. It's a either a Trekker (Super rare, joint effort between Toyota and Winnebago Industries) or it's an 83 Toyota Pickup. Either way they're really cool. Toyota's finest example of what a compact truck should be. Solid front axle with birfield joints, drop out center sections, gear to gear transfer case, locking hubs. Even the rear shock layout is designed for articulation. Everything you want, nothing you don't.
    The roughness is usually at least partially due to the rear spring shackles seizing and then the rear springs try to flex instead and bounce. Freeing them up helps. 63" GMT400 Chevy leaf springs helps more

  • @MrJest2
    @MrJest2 Před rokem

    New or old, generally speaking - with some exceptions - Toyota makes a good product. I know lots of people who would give their left eyeteeth to take on that '83, and while I personally have issues with pretty much all modern autos (hyper-computerization being the main one - heck, my wife's BMW doesn't even have an oil dipstick... at all... and the newest vehicle we own is 16 years old now), I will admit the TRD group does good work even if somewhat constrained by marketing. It's a sweet ride, especially with young kids to consider.
    My condolences to Hillbilly and his family on the passing of his Uncle... but his cousins are right - there is no one better suited to inherit this old trail buggy than him. He's got the resources to maintain and improve it, and the will and desire to use it as his uncle intended. Sounds like each got pretty much precisely the vehicle they needed at this point in their lives.
    So, both win in my eyes. 😉

    1983 Yoda for the win. Of all my Toyota’s 4x4’s have a owned (1982, 1990, 2008), my 1982 Toyota 4x4 is the one I miss the most. Those trucks are awesome. Seeing the ‘83 reminded me of my Rancho, Smittybilt, KC lights days….

    Where is the "stuck as chuck" comparison? Limp mode??? That old Toyota is not a snowflake, you can give it the beans until something breaks... opposed to the Sequoia not feeling so safe!
    Next is the payment challenge.
    Overall maintenance cost challenge.
    How about a "how easily it dents" challenge?
    Old Tacoma owner here, wish they still made them like they used to. Frame issues were bad, 330,000+ & still rockin and body is great... I wish I was the original owner and knew about the frame issues ahead of time. I've dealt with them. Good video Robbie.

    It's just depends. I know you were just playing it off, but the Tangerine would definitely be more comfortable, especially in the backseat where you don't have to strain your neck muscles to constantly hold up the tarp with your head. Tangerine would definitely win if it came to road riding. But...for a "not caring" off-road truck, I would take Hillbilly uncle's Flintstones truck (I saw daylight coming from the floor). I don't necessary think it would be more reliable when it comes to mechanical, but it would have a lot more ease getting through tough spots.

    I find it funny that my last name is Briggs and I currently own only 1 vehicle and it is a 2011 Toyota Sequoia Limited. I love the thing. I have put a lot of accessories into it and drive it daily.
