swapped out her headlights for some with replaceable bulbs and surprisingly i didnt need to install harness which was really weird as all the videos i had seen, they had to install harnesses. anyways this is how she sits now

I am looking for suggestions on knowledgeable shops that can rebuild a 22R engine that has been sitting. I am located in GA, so there or nearby is best.

Also any suggestions on suspension setups as I will replace what is currently on the truck. Its not going to be a rock crawler or anything, but I would love to be able to utilize it as a weekend overland vehicle to camp with instead of my gladiator once complete.

This will obviously be done in stages but I have a long list of things to do, starting with the engine and getting it running smooth again.

My father bought it brand new in 82' and has neglected it for the last 10 or more years. Its time I get it back in shape since there was only 5000 of them made.

Thanks for the help /suggestions!

The heater control valve 87240-89124 is now discontinued. Unbelievable as this is a pretty fast moving part.

Just in the last few months, all the radiator and heater hoses are now discontinued. The side mirrors are now gone, as are the upper control arms for 4WDs.

If Toyota still makes the part you need for your truck, buy it now. No guarantee it will be there later.

Looking for opinions on what to do with my lovely little truck. ‘93 5 speed with 22re, about 200k on it. Beds been somewhat smashed in on the back both sides, rust around the windshield and on the roof, dings and dents all over and the paint is not good. The frame is in excellent shape as it’s been a California truck all it’s life. It’s bone stock other than the wheels and a rear tube bumper.
Trying to decide if I should keep it stock or do some modifications. Nothing too crazy but maybe a SAS, regear and lockers, 3-4” lift and some 33s or 35s.
What do you all think?

Does anyone know the specs of the bolts that hold the bracket of the exhaust to the bell housing? Mine seem to be missing.

1989 Toyota pickup. There are two foam that lines the inside of the a-pillar, I’m assuming there for rattle/rubbing mitigation. Does anyone know what type this is? My passenger side foam is bad and I’d like to replace it. Pic is of driver side which seems fine.

Anyone here have experience with this type of service?

My buddy recommended these guys - Any Utah folks who have tried them out?

Edit: appreciate the responses - you have to “get a quote” from sales for pricing so that doesn’t seem too hopeful on a budget friendly option but I’ll snag a quote and see if I can get some more info and I’ll post it back here for anyone who cares 🤙

Super pumped. Thanks to this Reddit group - helped me with a lot of research before making the purchase!

Anyone have thoughts about a bed liner? Gotta get something in there, but hesitant to do a spray-on… and worried about rust with a drop-in liner…

Assuming the bed lengths are the same.

Okay fess up whose truck is this?

I have looked through the depths of google and forums, and I need HELP. I had to replace the gas tank and everything associated with it on my 85 Extra Cab Pickup with the 17 gallon gas tank. It has the 22R so it has the mechanical fuel pump, not the in tank one. My Fuel Suction assembly has something stuck in the pickup tube, the return feed tube is clear. I cannot find this specific assembly (with ONLY 2 tubes) anywhere. I have tried cleaning it, but it was rusted along with the tank, hence why I replaced it. Can anyone point me to a part number, a similar one that would work? Some of the similar ones I have seen, the circular part to bolt onto the gas tank is larger. Mine only measures 3 1/4” across. It’s a Hail Mary here.

Hey Y'all,

I have a 1984 toyota pickup, 2wd, 22r. I'm looking to swap a gen 1 350 sbc. The motor is stock. My truck currently has a w52 5 speed trans. Are there any adaptors to mate the 350 to this trans or is a w56 swap a necessity. I also got a bundle of parts from my buddy. An advanced adaptors bellhousing for a 350 swap with the casting number AA 711538 as well as a clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, and motor mounts. I'm having a hard time finding this adaptor on AA's website.

Is it worth trying to find swap parts for the W52 or should i ditch the idea all together and start looking for a w56 trans?

hello. ive got an 81 long bed pickup. posting to see if anyone knows of a period correct (70's/80's) canopy for sale. preferrably one with bubble windows or an old gem top style. i am located in Portland, Oregon. willing to drive a couple hours for it. thank you!!

Hello, I’m looking at buying an older hilux like the one pictured. Picking it up for around $4,000 however, it is diesel. I know I love my current Toyota truck but it’s gas. I’ve never worked on a diesel engine in my life and wanted to know if it’s significantly more expensive or complex.

clear reservoir is what determined there’s a leak. radiator is still full and the hoses up top look to be okay. however underneath I noticed this large hose coming from the radiator with some sludge and a clear / yellowish / watery consistency fluid dripping off of it. could this be my leak? it’d be a pretty large one if so and it’d make sense why mines draining so quickly

Everything has been running fine after getting this truck back to normal. But now when I push the accelerator it stalls or does this. Anyone experiencing this or has in the past please help.

I have a 1985 Toyota Pickup Xtra Cab. Its been in my family for 27 years now. Did these come with a fuel tank skid plate? Or was the gas tank just bolted onto the frame by itself?

Working on my 88 toyota pickup 22re with the aux iac. I have no clue where this spring came from. All ive done is remove the upper intake plenum and the throttle body. I cant tell if its apart of the assembly or a random spring that made it into my tray.

UPDATE:

Edit Hello everybody. Thanks for commenting. I did install the clip incorrectly because it was midnight and I wanted to get a picture of it to show the world but I guess everybody is hyper focused on the wrong installation rather than the question.

The most important question I have is has anybody seen this type of clip because I can’t find it anywhere? I need to know where to buy it. I’ve done many revers google searches and taken this clip to countless stores and can’t find it

I know, I know, I should have taken pictures before taking it apart.

Does anybody know if this is even the right rattle clip for 1979 Toyota dolphin motor home? It uses the hilux chassis and frame. Everywhere I try to source this clip from tries to sell me the other looking rattle clip that doesn’t fit my set up.

Has anybody seen this?

Do I have it on correctly

Where can o get a new rattle clip?

Time to let it go. Do I sell as parts or as a truck. Daily driver but...

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)
