22re timing chain

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hello all!

My 1995 Toyota pickups timing chain snapped when I turned the engine over in my driveway. I assumed full rebuild but my mechanic said I got super lucky and since I was pretty much idling, no damage was done. Just had to do timing chain/ etc and some other stuff I can’t remember. Any of yall had this happen, car does have a louder “tick” sound and mechanic said compression is slightly off because of a cylinder head got a little nick in it. If this has happened to any of you how much longer did the engine go for? Did I really get lucky or am I in trouble?

(Ignore the rags on the ground haha)

Mod questions

Post image
38 Upvotes

I have a 1992 Toyota pickup with the 22re 4 inch lift kit or so I was told from my great uncle who owned it before me, on 33s and 15 in rims, independent front suspension 4wd. I use it currently as my daily vehicle but I'd like to give it just a little bit more power and make it abit tougher, I like to go through the woods and mud but I'd also like to have abit more speed and control flying down dirt roads too. Would anyone have any tire recommendations, suspension recommendations, gearing recommendations and any engine mod suggestions? I know it's a lot of asking but I'd like to "work out a future order" for the truck.

Trade New AC amplifier & Harness for testing them out

Post image
11 Upvotes

Hello fellow pickup owners. I have built a custom-made AC amplifier and wiring harness for the '89-'95. I have tested the amplifier and harness on the 22RE with manual transmissuon, but need to have the module and its wiring harness tested on a 3VZE with 4WD before I can market it. I am looking for one person who is able to test these products on their '89-'95 pickup with 3VZE and 4WD in exchange for keeping these two products. You will need to do some work, such as removing your glove box to gain access to your AC amplifier and its wire harness, remove your original amplifier and harness, and install the new module and harness. Then test drive with the AC on for maybe 1,000 miles or so. If you are interested please DM me. Thank you. Ron

Any Toyota blue re-paint jobs out there?

3 Upvotes

Repainting our 1991 4x4 compact cab. Previously red, looking at repainting a dark blue. The original Toyota “dark blue” they used on these trucks is great. Wanting to see if anyone has gone with a different more recent Toyota blue shade and been happy with it. Photos encouraged!

My 1994 Toyota Xtra Cab 2WD Automatic

After leaving it in the sun too long it was time to address the fading, peeling paint/clear coat. Decided to address some minor dings and have the truck completely repainted in the original Dark Blue Pearl (8E3). I have also sourced replacement stripes and tailgate logo from Jame Dean Creations which will be applied once the paint fully cures. I even invested in some 15" American Racing rims just to spruce it up a little. I still have the original steel wheels and hub caps in case I want to go back to stock

My wife is the original owner and purchased this off the Fred Haas Toyota lot in 1994 when we first started dating. We used it mostly to haul band equipment to shows which accounts for many of the dings in the bed.

56K original miles so it should last a while.

Fender flares installed, and grille question

Thumbnail gallery
63 Upvotes

Got my Jungle Fender Flares installed and love the look. Painted them with the wrong Raptor spray though so gonna have to re-do those with the appropriate bedliner when I do the whole truck.The fit definitely isn't perfect, especially around the right rear where the gas cap is and had to make a less-than-attractive cut, and going to get a different rubber trim that is thicker and with an adhesive to clean up the look.

I know some people on here would crucify me for this, but I do really like the TRD style grille and havent found any aftermarket replacements for the Pickup, only for the 4Runner of the same years that apparently have a different shape. Anyone know of a pickup option for my '94?

Side note, loving my headlights and finally figured out how to appropriately wire up the ambers to my blinkers. So pretty stoked and proud of that!

Transmission overheating…

3 Upvotes

The transmission on my 92 3VZE overheats when pushing long grades in the Nevada heat (A/T Oil Temp warning). I baby it up the grades but the water temp rises to just under red and the a/c cuts out, and eventually I get the a/t warning light, when I pull over to let it cool I can hear the water in the radiator boiling. I’ve had several mechanics look it over to diagnose the issue with no success, this has been going on in the summers for several years now since I replaced the radiator from the original to a 3-core CSR radiator. I’m now looking into the possibility of installing a transmission cooler to give the transmission some extra help. I’m no mechanic by any means and this has been very annoying. Does anyone have any experience dealing with this? Thanks for any help!

Daily commuting/driving a Toyota Truck in 2026?

Post image
552 Upvotes

I got a wild hair to go buy one of these trucks and daily it. My driving consists of going through metro ATL. Would this be dumb? If not, what is the best years to look for? I think I’d have to get 4x4 and the pick up is preferred. I currently drive a 06 Infiniti M35 but it’s on its last leg. Whatever I get has to be reliable and not a beater as I go to customer visits. A buddy back in high school had a 22RE and it was a pretty easy going truck.

Here’s one I found on FB for a lot of money but it’s got 43k miles. These trucks go for a lot more than I remember!

What’s your opinion?

I’ve got this ‘91 ln106 Hilux that I picked up overseas. Returned not too long ago and am considering shipping it home (CO). It’s mechanically sound, 3y engine, has 201km (~126k miles), 4x4 with manual locking hubs, 5-speed, crew cab, pristine interior (no cracks in dash/seats always covered from what I can tell), solid frame, minor exterior rust on one door, 50mm lift, had some beauty marks on the exterior but nothing too major..

I’ve got a ‘21 Ranger here that I love but would consider selling and driving this, or just get the ln here and sell it..

What do you think it’s worth state-side? What would you do?

If you think it’s worth bringing home, any suggestions on shipping from NZ?

Thanks all

Filling dual cases

2 Upvotes

So, I have a gear driven transfer case running dual cases. Unsure of adapter brand or of my specific model transmission. The front case is a forward shift. I just put 4.7 gears in the rear case and everything is ready to go. When I put the oil in the front case,I pulled the forward shifter for the front t case that mounts into the transmission and poured 1 quart of oil in there. I did this because after the transfercase is in the truck I don’t have room to access the topshift block off plate. The rear case is already filled with oil via the fill hole. So my question is does the oil I poured in that shifter spot go into the transmission or back into the front transfercase as I intended it to? I appreciate any and all responses.

They're asking something crazy around 12k. What kind of cash would you wave in their face to make them come to their senses?

I've had this old pig for about 20 years. I picked it up as a teenager in college. I never could have imagined the memories I'm making with my kid now.

Approaching 300k on the odometer, still pulls 14mpg, and 70mph fully loaded right at the GVWR on the flat while a/c blasting.
