Did I Make any MONEY Fixing this Wrecked Truck on Facebook Marketplace?

[@ultimaterebuilds7127]

Do you think 6K is too much to ask?

[@boboahb]

6k is fair long live Toyota

[@schnizdawg]

You’ll get $6k. Stay firm on price. You’ll get it

[@Harey0407]

6k shouldn't be a problem with one of those. Might be able to get more even.

[@Killers39]

Ask 8k and go down to 7500 dude. 2005-2011 Toyotas going for more than that with similar mileage. 6k would go too quickly there’s definitely more profit to be made.

[@theupscriber65]

6k is too low

[@TieFighter99]

With the air injection pump system, there's a valve body that can go bad. Follow the hose out of the pump. Will go right to the valve body. The valves get stuck open or closed. If open the truck will go into limp mode. This is caused by water getting into the pump. Closed the truck will run fine. That's most likely the problem. Good Luck. Truck looks great.

[@htownblue11]

6500 all day man. Maybe 7. You did a great job.

[@masterkeyify]

The air injection pumps had crappy foam filters from the factory, that disintegrate and get sucked into the engine. See if there's any bits of the old filter anywhere in the line. It should be coming on during startup and shutdown for like 10 seconds. Also maybe try the metal gasket that goes into the engine? I had issues with mine and it took a few days for the CEL to go away after I fixed it.

[@BelcrossMobileRepair]

Wiring for the secondary air. Just like the knock sensor, the wiring was the problem not the sensor. It’s not ALWAYS a hard part that fails. Also check for any fuses that it uses.

[@markflynn9507]

Same thing happened to me. The pump was good but the wiring pigtail from truck harness was messed up. Check it I bet that's it.

[@Mikemartin968]

Zach, great job as always. I love your content. That said, I’ve got two words for you: jack stands

[@drewscruis]

Did you check the fuse for the secondary air pump?

[@SirLoxley7]

it looks amazing, we dont have trucks like that in the UK, truly amazing!

[@martinquintana5837]

Zach you done an awesome job, you are so talented and blessed young man. Keep those epic video's coming. Don't let no one low ball you, just the man hours alone is a couple grand and that's on the lower end. Anyways stay safe out there and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas

[@davidgevawer8920]

I love it very good job. I go and do painting with my Toyota Sequoia almost saying damage I have.

[@roussell]

You should count the value of the paint you used even if you already had it on hand, same with any/all consumables. Helps to more correctly show income for taxes... Good work as always, I might would also pop for some grey/black seat covers to hide those fugly beiges ones though :)

[@bsvJuice]

Now, why would he want to do that lol

[@joshuagraham3222]

I think $6,000 is a steal for that truck. If I wasn’t completely across the country I would buy it. Start at $6500

[@renj6531]

ive seen the car wizzard research a 1999- 2000 tacoma /prerunner and it went for like $17k so i agree 6k is a steal indeed

[@kevinmcd112]

Buy it and do a road trip! It would make a cool follow-up video!

[@puirYorick]

5:12 To pour any fluid from a heavy jug or awkward container always orient the pour spout towards the topside of the jug ( I know it's counter intuitive) then slowly rotate the jug either way (clockwise or counterclockwise) while keeping the spout aimed on target. This lets you keep the outflow under complete control and there will not be any glugging of the fluid stream. It's easier to use your dominant hand to control the jug position while your less dominant hand keeps the spout aimed in the right place. This reverse pouring method works for any fluids (laundry soaps or dishwasher stuff) you buy in larger jugs to refill a smaller daily use bottle.

[@ptp79]

The repair was totally worth.. brought back life... the price should be atleast 7,500

[@dougritter429]

Looks amazing. You have mad skills.

[@thadmachia9873]

Looks absolutely beautiful nice video hope you make your money back it certainly is worth it!

[@cap2c484]

I chuckled to myself when I saw that knife. I've found all kinds of interesting things in the wrecked cars that I rebuilt. 😂

[@Anne6621]

buff out the old paint and detail the engine bay and the truck will sell in 1 day , how much would it cost to send it to a detail shop , nice work btw , always look forward to new TV episodes of The Adventures of Ultimate Rebuilds

[@josephfitzgeraldnsw5794]

I see these trucks all the time fully restored even with brand new frames or maybe just repainted. So I think you’ll make your money back.

[@bigfunanAmericaninGermany]

dude! nice work.. that really really looks sweet!

[@tousshong9438]

You did a great job flipping cars/trucks. You are like MacGyver on cars, you can do it all. Your're detail orinted and do excellent job repairing and replacing cars/trucks. I bought few rebuit cars in my years and most of them they did not pay close detail to the small stuffs, like exposted metal on weld parts, screws, dings etc..

[@lexus82su]

As popular as old "yotas" are, especially with the updated front end making it unique, $6k may be underpriced, with the level of detailed documentation you have on your rebuild. I definitely wouldn't let someone low-ball below that. Also, if you sell it for $6k, that's roughly $58/hr for your labor. Pretty solid ROI for a quick flip.

[@DONphantasmo]

In my opinion, this was a great flip. You learned something, and kept a car from going the scrap yard, and made a few bucks in the meantime. So, yeah, great job and thank you for documenting this. Looks great, btw!!!

[@juniorizq2342]

Check for power to the vacum pump and do a resistense test

[@jcb5755]

Awesome little truck

[@Scooterdude01]

Great job as always.👍

[@ez68eldo]

WE know what you have. Good work comes with a premium.

[@gabrielfiumarellisantana3933]

Beautifull great job as always

[@keithwellington9695]

That system helps the cat get up to temp faster on cold startups. Could be damaged wiring, specially if that is the corner where the damage was.

[@Chokum]

for the check engine light, go through the change oil reset procedure and see if that turns it off?

[@michaud399]

Your an amazing all round mechanic.

[@CihaPet]

My daughter would LOVE that truck! It looks sick!

[@johnnyt1408]

Keep up the great work, been doing this a while in Florida.

[@aerosaaber]

If you've already replaced the air pump, have you checked the wiring, perhaps there is a break somewhere in the harness. can you access both ends of the harness to check continuity? any fuses that look ok but are actually not ok? #notanexpert

[@bandwagon240]

Maybe it's the purge valve in the charcoal canister? Spitballing, but I'd check that next.

[@trickysubject8563]

Nice work brother, stick to 6k, it’s a fair price. Thanks for the great content. Tricky from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍🏼

[@401Impala]

If you havent sold it yet, i'd cut and buff the original paint. Also, if you have any bed liner left from a previous build, i'd do the bed as well. Squeeze out another $750.00 in profit. Looks great, well done!

[@carlosg1165]

❤❤❤❤great work hope you get what you invested pluss your hard work keep them coming love this videos .😊😊😊

[@Whyyousomadbruh]

I bypassed the air injection on my tundra. They sell a little module that plugs into the map sensor. It’s ‘off-road use only’. But has held up for seven years now. My injection pump is under the intake on my v8. So I did it out of laziness. And because it throws me onto limo mode when it goes bad.

[@janmartens7954]

those vacuumpumps are alway in a circuit with another enginemanagement item. Check the wiringdiagram what other items are on the same fuse. The build itself was really cheap!! Change the tatty steeringwheel but i like this truck A LOT! It is that i live inthe netherlands, but i would pay 6k for it

[@Kayos-in7ju]

Zak, great content and well done, i know you don’t like sanding and polishing but you really need to flat and polish the paint the orange peel is really bad

[@Elkapirro]

The secondary vacuum pump goes to the secondary valves, if the pump fails for a long time, the valves stays stock closed, remove the vacuum hoses that attach to the valves and put your finger inside the valve, if you feel that is closed then you need to replace or rebuilt the secondary valves.

[@jeffreyklein7180]

Yes it a good learning curve for you

[@joanwilliams3221]

Good job would love to see more rebuilds 👍

[@jeffo3253]

great job

[@crazycowboy213]

Wet sand that orange peel and it would look perfect. Also a newerish steering wheel might increase your sale value, if you can wash the seats they look like they could use some extractor love.

[@trbstang]

The clockspring in one of my cars melted when it blew. The connections were melted and part of the wiring too.

[@tony_25or6to4]

In California, with similar mileage is $13-14k clean title. If it does have a salvage title, at least $7k. You could also get a rebuilt title.

[@brandtwegner2721]

Buff the doors to try and enhance the gloss to match fenders, replace steering wheel as at the 12 position is highly worn, clean and extract the cloth seats, fix CEL, lube door locks, door hinges, check straps etc... and go up to $8000,

[@johnzillah]

Looks good!

[@glassvial]

You might be able to get $6500 for it, but used vehicle prices are starting to trend downward and KBB (at least for my zip code) has this thing at $6K for top of the range, low end is around $4K, so if you're going to flip it better do so quickly, good luck with your sale!

[@benjaminrodrigues6257]

Outstanding Zack

[@CPBOXFIXR]

That air diverter that's under that hose you replaced is most likely the culprit.

[@CharlesReiche]

Your SAI code is a circuit code. Does the pump run? It sounds like a mini jet engine when it runs. It also runs on shutdown on my 4runner. If it is a circuit code, I'd get a bidirectional tool, maybe one from Topdon, where you can command the pump to run. That might help figure out what is going on.

[@cup_and_cone]

Spending a day to fully compound and polish the entire truck would make the paint blend together...shine the old clear and level the new peel.

[@oxbmillerxo1843]

Honestly its only worth what people are willing to pay for it, id say post it on the high side and let people will and deal. Let them make an offer then counter offer, it will give you an idea of what people are willing to pay for it. The truck turned out great, also might wanna check the wiring around that pump, even grounding points, something might have been tweaked or have a pinched wire somewhere.

[@attimus02]

Nice work!

[@JoseRangel-p6b]

so how much did you end up selling it for ?

[@robertluckowski2618]

Check the relay for the secondary air injection pump

[@adriannicholson8819]

you can manel reset the air bag light turn the key on to the air bag light on and just as it go's out turn the key off x3 so on the 4 th time it will show up and the turn off

[@tony_25or6to4]

Please use Jack stands. Don't rely on the air jack.

[@cwbean3087]

What company are you buying the vehicle radio's from? Good job and very good video's. You probably found out by now but, my daughter's Toyota truck was saying to change the pump and I did but still had engine light. I changed the driver's side banks and it fixed it. Toyota has the banks failure with their banks.

[@jimgottberg1975]

6k is a decent price but if you have to add in your labor hours...? Just say 150 an hour x 30 hours that's 4500 on top of the 2500 to purchase and then the parts. I hope you get more than 6k but in any event, a great project!!

[@mathehack1]

I'd grab an emblem if you can find it at a pick n pull for like $5. Maybe you should try smoke testing the intake system? That might be a good first step before finding someone with a more capable scan tool. Those emission evaps codes are a real pain to track down and fix. I sold an old 2002 Lexus rx-300 for $3500 with 240k on it I only put a few hundred dollars in parts into it. I imagine you can get a lot more for a truck

[@coolissimo69]

Looks good, hope you get a good money, 6k seems fair to low.

[@blakerh]

Great job!

[@TenheadLife]

Check the wiring for power on the secondary pump?

[@DeadFlanders]

Not sure if it is in the budget, but replacing the stock seat covers with some newer grey or black ones would improve the interior a ton. It looks really really good, nice job But those tan seats don't do it justice..

[@jamesshepherd6260]

Did good and I think you should start at 6500 for it since they will talk you down to 6k. 2k profit for 30 hours. Not to bad. 66.00 an hour.

[@BIGWIGGLE223]

*Nevermind* I just realized that that parts not got shit to do with the vacuum system. Smh....my Dad always said that you can't learn anything if you're in output mode instead of input mode. Although, my advice about trying to decipher those codes still applies. You need to do a vacuum leak check using ............ Uhhhhh............ Shit.......... It's been sooooooo long since I've done it that I can't remember what kind of spray to use. I'm sure someone here knows exactly what I'm trying to say and I'm sure there's a thousand different tricks for finding a vacuum leak. Oh! It may have been a Mass Air Flow Sensor cleaner that I used, but with the truck running you'll spray your vacuum lines and if you have a leak it'll pull that chemical into the line and make your engine stutter. And you have to spray very locally. Can't just go in and fog your engine bay like you'd fog a bug infested trailer and get any kinda useful feedback. Lol! The tricky thing with scanners and decoding the codes it spits out is sometimes you gotta read between the lines. For example; it gave you a code for that specific part, but in reality it may be something that effects that parts performance, i.e. a vacuum leak would most definitely effect its performance. It makes it somewhat easier to track down because you can single out just the vacuum lines that are feeding into that component. May be easier and faster to just replace all those vacuum lines instead of trying to track an individual line down and it could be such a small leak that it could easily be missed 2 or 3 times of looking. The Taco is looking good though!!! Love those Toyota pickups. They're awesome little off-road trucks too. Lightweight and nimble. Paint turned out spectacular as well! Good job man!

[@josephfitzgeraldnsw5794]

I think everybody’s overpaying for vehicles. But this has value as a classic truck. And I see people spending 20 $30,000 on these trucks. I would’ve put off-road theme on it and asked for 12,000.

[@DonnaBrowder-do5ll]

IMO $6,000 is not enough. Ask $7,500....settle for $7,000. The new front end makes it worth more than $6,000. Thank you for another good video and project.

[@taurota1554]

Awesome

[@chickenlight]

Auto wrecker/junk yard for the emblem... Should be an easy find.

[@tony_25or6to4]

You need to setup a proper ventilation system for painting.

[@aber2912]

A Marty mcfly tribute would be sweet

[@Dontbeasheep33]

Looks better without the emblem. Car seat covers need to replacing

[@vettepicking]

DONT Go under a truck with no jack stand. ! Its not worth losing a leg or being dead

[@dustinmittel348]

Possibly pick and pull to save some cash

[@mikecollins7222]

When you consider the flips. Especially starting out, keep the final retail price below 10k. Anyone with more than 10k to spend is going to buy a new car (new/used). Once you understand the Market you can do ultimate “you tuber” flip of a super car. This guys also pay cash. The problem lies in trying to flip 10k - 100k cars, people can’t finance salvage title cars and don’t have cash on hand for a car that’s likely to continue to deprecate

[@robertbonesio5498]

If I had $5500 cash I would take it. But unfortunately the government stole my money. Lol Looks great!!!

[@royjohns4962]

most certainly worth it

[@chris_favreau]

Former mechanic and salesman... Successful... Just wanted a new challenge.... I'd start at $7500... You already know everyone is going to try and take $500 off the top, at least. You'll probably end up between $6500 and $7k

[@sirpj4783]

Do a smoke test on the vacuum, it’s a leak somewhere

[@russtay]

Who’d you use to rebuild the seat belts?

[@boboahb]

safety restore you ship them the stuff you need to be fixed and they ship them back used them 10 time no issue

[@wjm988]

did it sell?

[@justinorso2671]

It’s worth probably 8k in South Carolina

[@joshuastowe4618]

I just finished a wrecked 06 4runner that was wrecked and needed a frame. I’m $2500 into it

[@bmac8130]

I know you didn’t have your legs under that truck with only that air bag jack!

[@tylerbabb300]

Hopefully you can get 5500. Unfortunately I don't think it was worth it for your time for the price paid, but it was awesome to watch. With your skills 1500 - 2k max car would be fun to watch

[@AnhH88]

If it is a 6lug, easily 9-10k in Washington state and the PNW. I paid 10500 for a 2000 4x4 Tacoma clean title 142000 miles only.

[@mojodaddio]

3d print emblem

[@KelrCrow]

I really like those wheels. Do you know the brand and model?

[@burymeinbrooklyn5329]

As a BMW guy I am always chasing vacuum issues. Get a pack of cigarettes and blow smoke into the system. You’ll find the leak easy.

[@Derekflewell]

these beige seats are definitely not original to that truck. do not match that interior at all. no biggy just an observation. if you make $1800 on that truck you are effectively paying yourself 60$ an hour for less than weeks work. Not bad. BUT if you had got him down to $2000 at purchase you would have made yourself ~$77 an hour. Its not too late though..you can add that $500 onto the purchase price and still realize that profit. This is a great proof of concept. this is a viable business for yourself and great content for your channel.

[@Dontbeasheep33]

Plus you’re buying from a good guy & not some scummy car sales yard, that’s worth an extra 2,000 alone …

[@ajvot71]

$6000 would sell fast here in Indianapolis.

[@cyberhornthedragon]

check the wiring to that pump likely a wire or ground is not wqrking perfect

[@charlesbarry7479]

You'd get over 10k for that truck in Texas.

[@InspiredJJ]

$20 for a clock spring?
