      Marty's Damn Channel indeed it is. I drove a 1990 Toyota Pickup for about a year. It was a great “truckish”. I say truckish because it looks like a truck but with a 22re, it’s lacking the power. When I think of a truck, I think of a F150. Anyway, the problem that I had with the 22re was that the engine liked to overheat. The internals eventually went bad. Up to 24 mpg around town and almost 32 mpg on the highway. Now I own a 1997 GMC Sierra. I miss the Toyota.

    I have the exact same truck except it is a manual 5-speed and it is white. The truck is darn near bulletproof, and I work it to death. I have been able to tow over 1,700 lbs with it and it has a bone stock 22RE engine. That amount to weight may not seem like much for any other truck but it is quite a lot for only 114 HP. The engine may be totally gutless, but it just won't die no matter how much abuse it takes. When I first got the truck, it overheated all the time because it had a bad water pump. At times I would just have to drive it with the needle on red just to get to work, which is something no one should ever do. But I did it anyway, and the engine still runs just fine today, which is amazing that it could withstand overheating so many times and live through it like nothing happened. I learned how to drive stick in that truck, and I still have it today. Now I have moved on to bigger and better trucks, but I still daily drive the Toyota pickup mainly because it has half decent fuel economy, it is really easy to work on, and it is incredibly reliable.

    Cool truck man! I have a 1994 Toyota pickup with a purpose built 22-re turbo engine...CP forged pistons w/prepped rods and a 22RTE cylinder head w/full SDS engine management. Currently running 15psi with a Garrett T3/T4 hybrid turbo. Very zippy truck with the mods done to it. These 22re engines are pretty much bullet proof once you replace the stock plastic timing chain guides with the metal backed timing chain guides. Also, ARP head studs are a must on boosted applications.

Very little padding but still comfy on 8hr drives. Plus great bolstering for small guys. Few things about these trucks , they need no weight for snow driving (manuals anyway), and the A/C is AMAZING. I register 37°F out of vents on 90°F day on the highway. Its a fridge in there. I paid 450$ for mine. BUT in Midwest they RUST BAD. Mines on its last legs without frame being risky. The non power steering is easy but dead.

    1J and 7M swaps are very common with these 4x4 and I am sure you can do it for under 800 bucks now days. Back when my 22RE went out, and I 1J swapped it for about 1500 in 2006. An even cheaper option is a 7M because the non turbo makes about 200hp and if you can get a turbocharged one, then your looking around 220-230 hp while keeping your reliability. Good luck~

      A 1UZ weighs only 40 lbs more than a 22R-E. How is that too heavy? A stock 1UZ is arguably the best swap for this thing. It's more than enough power, but not overpowered. You stay in the Toyota family and now have a V8. It's period correct. Strong engine like the 22R-E. They're not expensive. Depends on what you value I guess. Obviously if you just want the most power, LS swap, but I don't see how you can beat the 1UZ. 2JZ swap if you're going for power also. But keeping it stock, you can't beat it.
      Edit: Nevermind, I could have swore it was 40 lbs more. But apparently it's more around 75.

      Ok, so put the battery in the back then. I looked up the weight and actually it's about 75 lbs more. The point still remains though.

      @psykoklown874 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is almost the exactly same setup that I did with my '93 Nissan Hardbody. A 4" drop all around with air shocks in back; except I just went cheap and adjusted the torsion bars. I traveled all over the country between job sites, so I loaded it up with everything I needed. I really miss the world of modding mini trucks.

    I had a 1993 pickup, same 2wd/reg cab spec but 5 speed. Power is decent with the 5 speed, its not fast but it doesn't feel like a dog IMO.
    Compared to the 2004 Tacoma 2wd/reg cab/5 speed that replaced it, the 1993 was better in a few respects. It was quieter, more sound insulation. The powerband on the 22-RE was a lot torquier/less peaky/more power down low. It wasn't as fast as the 2RZ-FE, but that motor you had to rev the nuts off it and shift a lot more to use the power. Also the 1993 handled flatter and the turn in was actually pretty damn quick for a truck. Mainly I think it was the light weight. The big difference between the 1993 and 2004 were the brakes, so much better on that 2004 truck with ABS, that 1993 was sketch with the small 14" tires and easy to lock up brakes.

    What fender flares are those? I got same truck with 15x12s all way around. Mines a 90 reg cab short bed base model. 22r so it's got a factory carb and mine also has the four speed which isn't very common as all. My truck moves pretty well with the four speed in it. My buddies have five speeds and autos in their trucks. Mine leaves them all easily.

    Makes me think about the VW rabbit pickup from the '80s. And speaking of mods, I wonder if somebody would mod a modern day golf / GTI to pickup status. :)
    Would a Toyota 6 cylinder power plant from the era fit into that truck's engine bay?

    • @WBush-uc9pe

      I had an '81 Rabbit Diesel pickup in about 1990.
      My friends called it der Scheißwaggon, and they were right!
      Didn't stop me from swapping in a 5-speed, throwing on a set of Pirelli P-77s, and hauling ass down lookout mountain when I got off work at midnight, though.

    • @YasumotoUS
      @YasumotoUS 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Awesome! I had a '80 VW Rabbit MT (four forward gears!) diesel hatch and then drove a 80s vintage rabbit gasoline engine pickup MT for a pool service job on summer breaks during college. What a great little utility vehicle especially when lifting pool chems and cleaning gear over the side of the bed repeatedly throughout the day.

    • @WBush-uc9pe
      @WBush-uc9pe 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sweet!
      Did your diesel eat clutches? Mine would eat one every 20k miles. The 4-speed to 5-speed swap helped, but that diesel torque just lunched through clutches designed for the gasoline engine.

    • @YasumotoUS
      @YasumotoUS 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I don't recall it having clutch issues, but I didn't go nuts with it.

    • @WBush-uc9pe
      @WBush-uc9pe 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      LOL! I was 18 and sure I should be getting everywhere faster; I think I may still have legal proof that it went at least 72mph on one long downhill near Pierre, SD.
      Perhaps the wing nut connecting the seat to the steering wheel was the root of my clutch problems.
