This Video makes me feel Old. I remember these Trucks when they were New & not many people thought much of them Yet. ! They were very inexpensive Also. Seeing this one still going gives me hope my ol' 1994Runner will hang in there
@91TOYOTA4x4 It's actually taken apart right now getting dual cases. I definitely noticed a need for them on this trip. The rear suspension is getting re-done too. It's not the locker ticking, it's the front cv. I ran most of the day with a cap spit out of one of the u-joints.
o haha sweet man duals are sick, make sure you make a video of that when its done. oyah hahaha totally sounded like a lockright auto locker in the rear hah im hoping to get my truck SAS'd and on 36" super swampers, with a rear detroit, e locker front and longs haha. money pit
@FJoeForty I put Marlin duals and a W56 transmission last spring. It made the truck so much more usable. The extra length in the front driveline was helpful, with the short L series transmission I was ruining cv's almost everytime out, a longer driveline fixed that issue. Dual transmissions scares me, it seems like most of those guys have had a hard time keeping them together. They are geared low though, pretty cool
Really nice! Videos like these make me proud to be a fellow first-gen owner! I like how your truck is very built and able, but hides it well. Anybody else wish you could view the three dislikes on this video to find out which cowardly jeepers got their pink panties in a knot over this?
@gerby1818 Yes, it has Marlin high steer. It's not to hard to put on. Getting the steering box in the right place and making sure the tie rod and drag link don't touch is key. My truck drives better with high steer than stock steering, even with bigger tires. All new parts makes a big difference.
It's a solid front axle. I changed the axle gears to 5.29. This is an old video from before I added the second transfer case. I'm in the process of re-gearing that as well. With dual cases and 4.7 gears in the second case, re-gearing the axles is probably not necessary.
It isn't so fun to bump and jerk on the rocks, feathering the clutch. I had a Hilux like this, Marlin duals are great, but If you don't mind the extra front driveline length, joining a 4 speed with a 5 speed is easy to do yourself and gives you 2 times the low range as two cases. The output shaft on those is a female coupler, and have the same splines as the input. Just chop the pilot bearing tip, weld thick pipe to two flange plates. R+R+4x4 Low =140 to 1 at the tires! Two 5's double overdrive!
nice yota and cool video but man you need dual T cases, it would help allot and save your clutch from all that reving trying to get power down haha. and wow you locker tickes loud you should try some heavier oil in the diff.
One of the u-joints in the front CV had spit out a cap. The front driveshaft was at too steep of an angle before I put in the second transfer case and lengthened the front driveshaft. This caused the u-joints in the front cv to go bad quickly.
@crownviclvr The springs were supposed to be stock length, both the front and rear springs were an inch shorter than stock so I had to move the shackle mounts eventually. In this video the shackle angle is horrible because it hasn't been moved yet. I've corrected the shackle angle, but the flex still sucks. They were also more expensive than All Pro springs, which is what I should have gotten. I'm planning on linking it eventually anyway, so I'm living with no flex.
@alexw12345678 thank you for actually commenting me back , lol ok awesome haha and is this toyota yours becsause if it is it is one of the nicest ones i have seen on you tube.
looks like you have high steer on it , i want to do it to my truck also. is it hard to install and also does it make it harder to drive on the road because i wnt mine to still be a daily driver
I do still have it, it's on 39's and a little more beat up. Running on propane now. I have to pull the drivetrain and fix some issue to get it running again. Can't beat $900 for a Turbo 22re.
Alex Waugh I think the cabs solid on one. The SR5 has some side impact. I know where one or two other round eyes are laying as well. Im doing 1st gen 4 runners now. Was in hope of building a 80-83 pickup but I dont see that happening anytime soon. Theyre all so scarce now days and its a good idea to have a couple laying around for parts.
do you still have the truck ? hows it doing ? i used to have an 84 22re but it was 2wd. I want either the same year or anything between 78-89 i love most of the 4x4 trucks in those years from toyota. I recently came across an 86 22re turbo. but it has no tranny or transfer case. Its for 900 bucks. so im considering it but still not sure.

@146DEMO They rubbed a little in the front at first. After a few trips they self clearanced.

Nice truck.....the best in the world!!!!
@cool4341 Yes, lockrights front and rear

Hopefully I'll have a bunch more video this summer.
Yes, it is definitely a money pit.
@Nickat1ne707 Yeah, this was before the dual cases. Lots of slipping the clutch.
It was in this video, it's bobbed now
@313foxbody420 Thanks, it's an '81

Boss yota
Agreed
@BluesShredGuru 36" Iroks
long bed? couldnt tell.
Thanks, this video seems like a million years ago. I really need to put it back together.
@alexw12345678 thank you for actually commenting me back , lol ok awesome haha and is this toyota yours becsause if it is it is one of the nicest ones i have seen on you tube.
is yours independent front or solid front? did you have to change the gears in the diffs to handle the bigger tires? if so, to what?
@alexw12345678 haha i can tell its been a ton of work im learning that mine is becoming a money pit lol
Do you know why your 4X4 was clicking in this video? I'm looking into buying a Yota pickup that supposedly also clicks while in 4 wheel drive.
Cuánto por la tropa ca
looks like you have high steer on it , i want to do it to my truck also. is it hard to install and also does it make it harder to drive on the road because i wnt mine to still be a daily driver

@146DEMO They're Alcan springs, 5" stock length. I don't recommend them.
Dude you have my dream truck. It's so perfect lol.
I plan on a getting one within the next year.
They're getting hard to find, take care of it.
You get one yet?
toyota aaaaa huevo
toyota aaaaa guevo
Yes, in this video it would still do 75. I have 39's now and it will only do about 55.
@gerby1818
Yes, it's my truck. Thanks, it's been a ton of work.
@alexw12345678 did those tires rub
what size tires are on it in this video?
What year is your Yota?
why dont you recomend the springs?
toyota drivetrain is the best 4x4 drivetrain ever.. i want a truck just like this..
Do you have front and rear lockers?
Sweet little round eye yota. You still got it? Ive got a couple 80's laying around in SEK if you find your self needing some pieces.
Yep, still have it. I have the drivetrain out right now. It's changed a lot since this video. How are the bodies on your pickups?
Alex Waugh I think the cabs solid on one. The SR5 has some side impact. I know where one or two other round eyes are laying as well. Im doing 1st gen 4 runners now.

@146DEMO also what suspention?
what size tires and lift?
What iroks?
custom bumper? looks sweet.
Yes, but it was on the truck when I bought it. It's heavy

36" and 5"
do you still have the truck ? hows it doing ? i used to have an 84 22re but it was 2wd. I want either the same year or anything between 78-89 i love most of the 4x4 trucks in those years from toyota.

36"
Was that the Toyota on rcsparks
1981
ok heres is my cover lol Toyota Hilux 1983 (Trail Finder 2 rc)
Needs round headlights ;)
OUCH! Use 4 low and let the clutch out for pete's sake! You're tearing that poor truck to pieces bouncing off the rocks going way too fast!!
Before dual cases, that is 4 low. It was geared to high even with 5.29's.
@146DEMO also what suspention?
