Isn't this one around the years that had the frames rusting through and breaking? Toyota recalled many of them for frame replacement or buy-back.

 

Got it for2k. From what i hear the only downfall for the v6 in blown head gaskets.. the truck for what it is does have a lot of low end.. top end is another story

 

Blown head gaskets or the harness for the fuel injection being ran close to the exhaust and melting. Also it uses a timing belt instead of a chain. Only real drawbacks to those motors. I've owned several Toyotas and been wheeling them for years. Heres a pic of the last one I had

 

I got a toyota play toy.


a sweet baby blue 1984 Tercel Sr5. What is cooler than a 4wd station wagon with a six speed?

thats part 3 of the top gear.

that thing survived being sunk in the ocean, fire, being hit with a wrecking ball, trailer being dropped on it, running thru a small building, and part 3 its on top of a 240ft tall building that they blow up and the thing is still drivable.

 

I'm honestly jealous - I'd love to have a truck to tool around with like that right now

My neighbor has an older Toy - late 80's early 90s 4x4. It's rusty around the rear fenders and looks like.... well.... a turd But I've been eyeing it up and I think after winter I'm going to see if he'd be interested in selling it or, when he wants to, he gives me first shot. It's a sweet little truck and I'd love to have one for a "project" truck. Have fun with them - they are a blast to goof around in and last a lot longer than most trucks

 

At least you didn't buy a new Toyota .
