Hi Scotty

[@tannerfisher7629]

Hey scotty just curious you had a video on not buying Toyota vehicles and had a good opinion on this Toyota so I'm confused what do u think about Toyota I personally would never buy a foreign car but that's me just wanna get ur actual opinion

[@pasheka777]

I was never much of a car person growing up, but I’m certain that if I had someone like Scotty as an influence, I would be! The passion for the subject is downright infectious. I only found this channel less than a week ago and I am so here for it. :)

The fact that 1990s vehicles are considered old or even classics makes me feel old. Definitely the last decade of simple purpose built durable reliable trucks in my opinion anyway.

[@HarrisonCountyStudio]

I hear ya… but I feel like a classic

[@jmc8076]

Esp if 50+ and they say ‘my mom/dad are getting old’ then find out you’re close to same age. 🙄 An older friend gets grandparents are same age. Oops. But a younger friend’s Grandfather sees a woman 30 yrs younger - her sis dated the uncle. Healthy family. 🤣

[@PhilRacicot]

When I got my driver's license back in 1993, I got a '68 Buick Wildcat that was 9 years older than I was and it certainly was old then! I managed to keep it 8 years and I needed to subscribe to Hemmings Motor news for spare parts as they were already inexistant in junkyards around here! I still have mid-1960s Buicks but I stopped driving them daily years ago! And now my daily driver (a 1993 a Toyota SR5 pickup that I bought 15 years ago) is older than my first car was in 1993. People talk to me about it in parking lots as if it was a unique vehicle. They made millions of these and for so many years that there were still plenty on the roads until recently and to me, they never felt old as they were brand new and out of my reach when I got my driver's license! I have to admit they are getting rarer around here! I'm even thinking about storing it for winter now!

[@Anthonyoutsidethebox]

[@B-Blues]

It's honestly been too late to buy a reliable used truck for about three years now. They're either gone in minutes or priced at quintiple their value. At some point people started realizing they don't make 'em like they used to.

I believe the "exploding Firestones" were due to Ford engineers recommending below rated tire pressures because a certain Ford SUV model liked to rest on the side of the highway with the shiny side down. Personally saw several of them in this position.

[@XzTS-Roostro]

That recall incident was so notorious, they made references to it on "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" during that time. »"Here's your damn Schwinn back¡ Repair totals are $89.95, will that be cash or card?" »"... I didn't order the Firestone tires."

[@johnelder4273]

The Firestone tires in the 1970s and 80s earned the reputation of exploding quite honestly. I had two cars that came with Firestones, both sets separated and came apart prematurely while they still had plenty of tread. I haven't bought a Firestone tire since and never will.

[@nozroc7312]

Just bought a 1991 Hardbody 4X4 4 cylinder with 94,000 miles from an elderly woman, only paid $500 bucks! I have less than $500 invested in maintenance so far. Happy as can be with this truck!!!

[@Jeff_PNW]

+1 for Toyota trucks! I've got a '94 T100, and the frame is rock solid & looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. The 3.0L V-6 isn't the greatest motor, shitty fuel economy, but overall the truck is bulletproof and it's served me very well.

it's amusing reaching 40 years old. I get to hear someone say trucks were well made in 1996, but I remember in 1996 the lamentations for the plastic parts and automatic transmission failures. People would say back then, "they don't make them like they used to."

[@markeasley6149]

Picked up an 03 Dodge Dakota quad cab with 95k miles for $8k and it was in good shape despite being in Colorado for most of its life. V8 engine in a midsize means it could tow if needed but on the highway it eats miles with its large gas tank. So far have put 65k miles on my own with about another $5k in for some fixes, maintenance, and tasteful mods. Old trucks can still treat you good.

[@richsweeney1115]

I personally would never pay $8k for an old dodge..there are so many other choices.. i like the dtyle if the 03 dakota and durango, every dodge ive had, has had a rebuikt tranny putin before i got it..last year, a friend i was working for gave me a running 95 dakota 4 door, v8 4x4.. i made a bad trade trying to help someone wo had kids, i traded it for an 07 5 spd outback, which i ended up selling, i could have fixed it, but i didnt even have the money for parts it needed shortly after i got it. It was the only time ive screwed myself on a trade

Hey Scotty, I had a 1995 C3500. The AC clutch stopped engaging. I fixed it by removing one of the spacer shims. Apparently over time the electromagnet that engages the clutch weakens and removing at least one shim allows it to grab being closer.

I've owned hardbodys for twenty years. In Colorado. The frames rot like crazy if your in an area that uses mag clhoride. Hardbody?? The body metal is the thinnest sheet metal ever put on a truck or car! That said the drivetrains are rock solid, the traction on the 4x4s is amazing , many came with rear posi stock. Parts are still available and fairly cheap. 400k and 290k trucks still don't use oil.

[@Jeff_PNW]

Haha, you're 100% right about the sheetmetal. I worked at a Nissan dealership when the hardbodies came out. Our sales guys jokingly referred to them as lardbodies because exterior panels were so soft. Other than that they were good trucks.

[@jonathanreid2237]

I just got a 1996 toyota tacoma 2wd, and if you want a reliable truck for cheap you can find 2wd first gen first look tacomas for 5,000 or less pretty often that take some work. So if you are willing to do some work and want a truck, early 2wd first Gen Tacomas are a great choice if you are broke and dont need 4wd but need a truck

90's Chevy trucks are GARBAGE. I have a 92 half ton Silverado and a 2000 Chevy S-10, and they are both total crap. They both have ignition switches and windshield wiper switches which need replacing. The idiots at GM put ten pounds of crap into a one pound box with those awful steering columns and they are a NIGHTMARE to work on. The dash instrumentation is all plastic trash and the door handles break. I have been driving Chevys for 45 years and the quality is steadily going down the tubes. My best truck was a 1989 Toyota 4 cylinder mini truck. It handles like a sports car, got great mileage, and was durable as hell. You want trucks built in the 60's and 70's if you can find them. They are simple, durable, and rebuildable.

It's only because she some of the top quality paint work I did working for a company that sold and repaired Jac-ob-Sen and other brands' turff equipment. I would strip down old outdated equipment, clean with purple cleaner, which will etch the surface and provide a great bonding surface.. Once cleaned I used Wallylands brand 98 cent cans of primer and black paint.. For the factory orange, I used the factories canned paint.. Once done, the manager couldn't tell which one was factory or my work.. Sad part, he sold them as new equipment... Not refurbished.. A reel head that was worth $250 used, he sold for $1400 as new.. Took over all time for one head 2 hours.. Times 5 heads. Parts and labor total was $350, for a profit of $4,000, which he pocketed because they weren't in the inventory..
