Buying An ABANDONED Project Vehicle - Toyota Truck RESCUE

[@enjoilife8238]

Dude, beautiful truck! FYI - that coolant pipe can absolutley be removed with the engine/trans still in, just pull the valve cover off and you can access the bolt that holds the pipe to the head, then you have to find the two bolts underneath the intake plenum and it should come right off. That pipe uses an o-ring to attach to the intake, you can pick one up at LC Engineering for cheap Can't wait to see more of this truck man, keep up the good work!

[@redlineranch.]

I’ll have to look into that, I figured it might be possible, but man I REALLY didn’t want to take that intake off again after needing to swap because of the broken bolt. I’m glad you’re enjoying the truck so far!

[@Zt3v3]

@@redlineranch. He's right, you can pull that line. 1/4 drive wobbles are really helpful for the connection to the manifold.

[@evoman44]

That stuck bolt reminded me of the nightmare I went through a few months ago to remedy a broken lower suspension arm bolt. At first I tried different bolt extractors with heat applied which also ended up braking and made the situation worse because those extractors are made of hardened steel. So I ended having to buy a titanium tipped drill bit set to drill it and the bolt out from the other end. Which then required having to order a titanium tipped tap to tap new threads. From that experience I learned that I would had been better to just gone straight to drilling and tapping the moment I felt the bolt extractor not budging the bolt.

[@gerry-p9x]

Use repeated freeze thaw cycles of dry ice and heat buy chunk co2. And let doak

[@TimmyCramer]

Love your Can Do attitude young man!! Keep on kicking ass in life! Timmy C Arizona

[@redlineranch.]

Thanks! anything is possible if you just commit and set your mind to it!

[@gerry-p9x]

Uhh buy a. Chase tap from auto parts worth the bucks to use factory fresh torque specs

[@redlineranch.]

@@gerry-p9x the bolt was broken in the intake before I got the truck unfortunately

[@gerry-p9x]

@redlineranch. Yeah bummer sometimes worth it just pitch the part and used good used one

[@NickKeatonOutdoors]

Hey man, I just found your channel recently and have been super impressed by the quality of your videos. I would’ve guessed you had hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of subscribers! Keep up the great work and I can’t wait to see you go far on this KZbin journey!

[@KenInnisJr]

Yes, he is very good.

[@ShaneJohnsonFuZionVapor]

Super classic truck. I'd keep it the way it is. Nice job man!

[@hugogomez1046]

Esperamos más videos de tu bonita adquisición 👍 Saludos desde 🇲🇽

[@ItsSpice]

full driveline in working order is incredible ! i want one so bad

[@KenInnisJr]

We bought one brand new at Beck Toyota in Greenwood Indiana in 1993, same exact truck. At 247K it developed a transmission problem, sure wish I had have kept it. Great little truck.

[@JHamSandwhich]

I went to a local junkyard and got the bench seats and console out of a same model 4runner for 100 and put them in my 93 instead of the split bench. Way more comfortable and you only have to make a slight modification to the mounting brackets to get it to work

[@alpal360]

I battled with a sheared off bolt in my 22re Tstat housing just a couple weeks ago. Snapped my extractor off in it, too. After burning up multiple metal drills bits, I ended up using a ceramic/glass drill bit and it cut through the bolt almost effortlessly. I re tapped and helicoiled and all good.

[@G4t0c]

Amazing job as always. Just waiting for that long road trip on that one !

[@nickgiard8553]

Love the vid, you get right to the point and get it running. You don't drag it out. Another great vid! Love that truck. My favorite yota by far.

[@2weeknotice]

Dude, can I like this video twice? lol Great find, so happy to hear you plan to keep it as your daily. I had a 93’ in green that originally belonged to my dad, it was 2WD though. I hope you restore the paint and polish a bit.

[@Chiefbird007]

I love my 93 2wd, I had to do some work to it cuz it’s had some abuse. But she runs good now. Either way the 2wd I was very satisfied with how it handled. Put on some beefy shocks and she will corner. My plan for it is to put an LS1 with the 4L60 in it. I have the not so common auto trans that has a giant slipping issue. When it’s colder then 35 out it won’t even go into gear until it’s warm.

[@thumperpaul]

I thought it was the 3.0L V6 that had the head gasket issues from that era? The 22RE is supposed to be bulletproof?

[@yardboy3955]

Love your energy and positiveness, thats a good looking clean project truck, if there’s one person who can fix the truck it’s you, you know your trucks, hope you can get it running right.

[@redlineranch.]

Thanks for the encouragement, this one is a real sweet looking truck, I'm gonna tackle it one step at a time till it’s dialed in!

[@andybrockman2503]

I live watching these videos. Keep up the good work.

[@HugoMartinez-k8v]

I just keep the way it is , just fix the interior. Good job. Love watch your videos. i have had my eye on one of these trucks for a very long time, but not luck😢

[@lollibirdy5136]

My dad used to have a truck exactly like that. My whole family called it lil’ red and I would love to get another one so I could have a lil red of my own

[@andytommykeddy3224]

Love the videos! I just got a 92 Toyota pick up with a TDI swap. Almost identical to this truck just white.

[@ramiroquintana6982]

Second video I've watched and you're giving me the confidence to buy one and fix to keep myself lol definitely afraid of head gasket job but I think I could do it

[@TexasVexes]

You and Steinfab should do a collab

[@redlineranch.]

that could defiantly be cool!

[@hansdavis2348]

There is that Stout for sale in the San Luis valley. I am sure you've seen it on marketplace.

[@redlineranch.]

I have seen it, its a little out of my price range, but man is it tempting!

[@jessecarrick6462]

I've always wondered why the parking lamp housings are flipped between the two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive version of the pickup. I kind of like the look of them when the four-wheel drive versions better.

[@redlineranch.]

That’s an interesting one, it’s probably just a styling thing, but the 4x4 definitely look better in my opinion

[@Maxwell-j9z]

some bucket seats and a decent stereo and its good to go. i daily the same truck (1990), they are best little trucks you can get

[@ulises268]

nice video dude keep it up and i wish you a happy and nice new year

[@redlineranch.]

if I would have just drilled it out completely I probably could have gotten it out, but after the easy out broke off in there the hardened steel of that made it almost impossible to drill any more.

[@MikeSage-hv3hz]

Those early HiLuxes are magnificent vehicles. Here in Australia I had a dual cab 4x4 for 7 years, only repair was a radiator A$165. Teenage daughter wrote it off on a dirt road using a tree as a brake. 😢

[@MdmTribe]

if the tap dont disappear its pretty common that the 22r and re worn timing chain guides can give that tapping sound.

[@MoeKateye]

Great episode! Brought back wonderful memories of my ‘90 4x4. What a fantastic truck. Where can I get a Hilux hat like that?

[@jasonwells9050]

The 1990s Toyota had the best body style the only thing that I would add to this truck is maybe a roll bar with some lights on it great job putting it back together your positive attitude and the way you stay calm no matter what is awesome

[@redlineranch.]

Thanks man! I'm always trying to stay positive and enjoy the process. The roll bar and lights look is a classic for Toyotas!

while heating the snapped bolt always douse it in PB blaster to cool it, then heat again and so fourth

[@redlineranch.]

Good thought! I’ll try that next time

[@1ihnut]

I like the way it is right now, I've never owned a toyota pickup but I'd drive that one. I wouldn't change anything. Just fix the interior up as much as you can and drive the wheels off it.

[@redlineranch.]

I hear you, it’s got that classic look to it, the next thing on the table for this truck is getting the engine mechanical completely wrapped up and cleaning up the interior as best as possible!

[@ponchotran9004]

Nice 1993 4x4 Toyota Truck ! What is the yellow car? Citroen Deux Chevaux (Two Horses)? I see the previous owner left their Service Manuals - nice ! I used to have the two volume service manuals for my 1993 4x2 Toyota Truck also.

[@redlineranch.]

It’s actually a Subaru 360! I plan to build it on the channel, but it’s on the back burner right now, it’s on Suzuki samurai solid axles and I’ve been building it for about 5 years now off and on, but mostly off lol it’s probably only got two or three weeks of actual work into it and it’s just been sitting other than that

[@EShelby2127]
