I'm about to invest in a Toy as well (albeit modern), but am not 100% if I'll be able to fit it in my garage in it's final configuration either. cool! not sure where I’m gonna put the Hilux; ‘cause Kristi gets the other bay…but I’ll figure it out! cheers P Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Fleischmann Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 Getting closer. just out of the paint/ body shop. Spray in bed liner next; then get it home. Wheels, tires and suspension coming up- roll bar coming out too- cheers Pigfighter Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Matt Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Those particular models of Hilux and Cruiser are renowned for their reliability and capability. I've seen guys cook their dinner (wrapped in foil) by wiring it to the exhaust manifold. Really common to see a Marks Chev V8 conversions in either and they become absolute beasts in snotty terrain. I wish they made uncomplicated vehicles like that today. Whilst all the mod/cons are nice to have the added complexity and cost doesn't add up to value for me.

Very cool- this one only makes about 100hp, but it’ll pull a tree stump out of the ground! I agree. Love a simple, bulletproof vehicle that is easy to work on. cheers P Edited February 7, 2022 by Pete Fleischmann LSP_Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Nice! Some bunch of diesel morons on YT have a late 80s/early 90s Hilux double cab they absolutely beat the EVER LIVING @#$%&! out of. Loaded the bed full with cinder blocks and were jumping it at speed. Never really did remember them actually "breaking" it to where it wouldn't drive anymore. Near bomb proof! LSP_Matt and Pete Fleischmann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Ive seen what they do to decent vehicles that could be either fixed up and used or sold/donated to someone who really needs them I dont even bother watching most of their crap anymore.

Pete Fleischmann Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) Survived the trip all the way from Japan, thru New Hampshire, and then out to Iowa. Had to dump it one street over because the trailer couldn’t hack the turn onto my street. Needs a bath but looks like it managed the flatbed ride cross country with some gnarly winter weather unscathed- cheers P Edited February 28, 2022 by Pete Fleischmann Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
