I replaced my 1986 truck driver side regulator and it was quite easy. Made the mistake of buying aftermarket that the bolt holes did not line. It was crap. I bought online an OEM Toyota regulator. It was much sturdier built and fit perfect.
I just realized I miss those witty "subscribe....you might..." quips in the last few videos. They are your signature of sorts and it's good to have a signature. 😀. I started following you for the F250 content as a fellow owner and fan and am really starting to enjoy the little pickups as well. It has sparked a bit of nostalgia and a desire to add a an older (70s or 80s) pickup to my fleet. Not that I "need" another project, but like Lay's potato chips.... It's hard to imagine that I miss gapping points and setting the dwell but there is a certain satisfaction to working on purely mechanical systems vs. plugging in to the OBD port and tweaking a few bits in an EPROM. Please keep them coming.
Thanks Andrew!! Hmmm, maybe you're right with the subscribe stuff. Also, from my point of view, you absolutely need another project (or two). I second the satisfaction of all mechanical stuff. I have quite a few points/carbureted things in my crazy little collection.
Brian, your bring back memories of removing door panels on those older units for various reasons. Great idea about lubing up moving parts. Nice that you tightened bolts to factory specs! Most skip that step. Why would anyone put up with windows stuck when it is so easy to fix it!
Nah, I didn't bother with vapor barriers. The truck has so many other holes that it won't matter at this point. However, an upcoming project will involve re-covering the door panels, sprucing up the interior and doing some carpet. I figure I'll make barriers when that step happens.
Any idea on how to fix the foam/rubber piece the window secured into at the bottom? I have a '80 pickup where the glass has come out. So it will roll the window up but separated when I try rolling it down. Thanks
I have a 01 Chevy Malibu & it’s a death trap because all the widows don’t go up or down. The plastic pulleys are all broken. Good thing about it is I can’t go through the drive-thru any more & it’s good for my diet.
I just tried replacing the driver side in my '83. The piece shown here appears to have much more of an elbow or bend in the arm than the one that I removed. I'm assuming i bought the wrong part. Does anyone have any information for an '83 regulator replacement?
Just replaced regulator on 1988 pickup with this video! Thank you!
Awesome. Glad to help!
I've been looking for a video on a 92 Toyota Corolla. But your video will do. Thanks.
Glad it helped

Yep, the OE stuff is 10000% better both in longevity and fitment.
Most thorough tear down ever, great job
Thanks!!
I just love how simple the vintage Japanese stuff is to work on!
Another great video, Broseph! 😎
Thanks Brocephus!!!

Thanks Mark!! Yeah, it's easy and cheap to do. No reason to avoid it.
@@ProjectTimeGarage That one did look easy! The newer vehicles are making it much harder. But that will not stop you or me!
@@unclemarksdiyauto Newer vehicles are making everything hard. Pretty sure it's by design.
@@ProjectTimeGarage They (manufactures) don't want to lose income if we can fix it as vehicle owners!
@@unclemarksdiyauto Bingo!!
Thanks for a great DIY video!
Thanks, glad to help.
I just found this playlist and spewing this is the last video
So far, yes it's the last video. I still have a TON of work to do to the truck. I'll get videos rolling again this fall/winter. Stay tuned!
Nicely done ; did you repair the vapor barriers?!?!
Nah, I didn't bother with vapor barriers. The truck has so many other holes that it won't matter at this point. However, an upcoming project will involve re-covering the door panels, sprucing up the interior and doing some carpet. I figure I'll make barriers when that step happens.
What happened with this 22R? I would like to see more of that truck, maybe the Back To The Future 22R…
Still here. Everything else keeps getting in front of it. I'm gonna do it for sure. And yes, I really want to do Marty McFly's truck.
Any idea on how to fix the foam/rubber piece the window secured into at the bottom? I have a '80 pickup where the glass has come out. So it will roll the window up but separated when I try rolling it down. Thanks
No, never messed with it.
Great video but I don’t see the link for the non vent door? I’d appreciate it if you could let me know that part number. Thank you very much.
To be honest, I had to do a lot of looking myself. Seems a lot of stuff is no longer available.
Good job man!
Thanks!

LOL, that's awesome!!
Good video!
Do you know if this regulator will fit on a 82 toyota?
I think it's 83-88.
You saved me 20 bucks on a manual😅
Glad I could help
thought you was playing all that she wants by ace of base at the end
LOL, now I'll be singing that all day in my head.

I'm not sure personally.
Usually if I hear it hit the floor, I will never find it.
100% for sure.
Where did you find replacement tracks
I put Amazon links in the description.
@@ProjectTimeGarage oh you got wing windows tho I gotta look for some without but I'll check it out thanks
@@tinoanderson3912 I saw some on Amazon that fit your truck (no wing windows). They definitely have them.
Link for the hook tool thing?
This will take care of you: amzn.to/3gSjWWP
@@ProjectTimeGarage thanks!
Hey Tom. Will this work the same in my 1986 Toyota 4Runner? It looks the exact same honestly…
Edit: turned out the exact same thanks!
Cool, I did't think there were many differences between any of the 84-88 toyota trucks/4Runners.
