Road Trip to “Vala-ala-ba-ma”: My New Toyota Pickup

I hit the road with my buddy Dan to chase down a truck that’s been on my radar for a while-a 1991 Toyota Pickup. After scouring Facebook Marketplace, I finally found the right one just over the state line in Valley, Alabama. This pickup has a rebuilt engine, a solid interior, and all the potential for a fun restoration project. I’ll walk you through its condition, my plans to customize it, and why this classic Toyota is such a great find. Let’s see what this gem can become!

I think everyone in the world has some kind of tie to Valley, Alabama. I lived there for 16 years.

I had a 94 pickup sr5 years ago with the 3VZ engine, I got it free because it needed head gaskets, again, but i loved that truck and wish it would've never got rid of it!

Please tell me you are going to do a 2JZ swap… I’ve seen one and it was crazy !1

[@TheRutledgeWood]

hahah my 94 we call the "drift truck" has a 1JZ swapped in it, so I'll probably be a bit more tame with this one

I had a 92 king cab. 2WD, four cyl ( 22RE ? ) 5 speed. Great truck. You got a nice copy of one right there.
I miss seeing you together with Adam and Tanner on Top Gear.

I love working on my 93 Pickup! Looking forward to see what you have planned for this one!

[@finaltouchautodetailingllc]

My first vehicle I ever bought myself was a 92 Toyota pickup, got her with 145k miles on it. Was perfect to me. Wish I never got rid of it, I'd still be putting miles on it.
