It's time to see if I can get this Tacoma running after it has not run for 5 years.

I'd argue it's not the content--it's the creator. My dad used to say he'd listen to Van Morrison sing the phone book. I believe I'd watch Old Shovel take a walk or the equivalent. A perfect and viable alternative to all the nonsense in the world!

[@faithwalk5926]

I know but it's a broken Purple Toy 🤔

[@jeremynorth]

I love bikes but also trucks so I look forward to seeing what you do with this one

[@oldshovel]

Thanks for following along

[@depechemodehair5264]

I love that they are giving a new life to that beautiful truck.

[@huntersmith8724]

mymechanics restoring a 240z and oldshovel restoring a tacoma? Can't get much better right now

[@oldshovel]

I’ve been watching that 240z restoration also. He’s really going through it all and doing an awesome job.

[@christopherroberts4254]

Bring it on! Fixing all old things is great. I coveted one of these in my 20s. I'm so psyched to see where this goes.

[@travisturbeville1341]

Thats going to be a nice trail rig. Can’t wait to see what you’re going to do with it.

[@barthanes1]

For the future, a badminton racket is pretty good at killing off the straggler wasps coming back to the nest. And it's great fun.

[@larsmortensen1247]

It looks like your doing a Legit Street Car makeover 😀

[@MW-pw9ip]

Awesome. I’d be all on board for a Care Care Nut/OldShovel crossover show. Great old school trucks. Keep it up!

[@toddzachary4891]

Great video Rob. Love these first gen tacomas. They just never die. Don’t worry about the non-bike related content. We’re here for it. One of your hatchet restoration videos was what originally drew me to your channel in the first place. The bike content was just a bonus. Keep it up! 👍🏼

[@NarcizoGonzalez-ji6xy]

I love your videos.

[@oldshovel]

Thanks

[@elias2338]

3:47 the best moment of the video😂 Very Well done Rob👍🏻🤘🏻 keep doing Videos like that! Awsome sound😌😎

[@decentdad1160]

love this- omg that super charger- I'm saving for a gen 1 taco , 5 speed, and eventually throw a super charger on it. For now I will live vicariously through you!

[@MonkeyShred]

The supercharger sound 🥵 What a coincidence too! I’m just about to start on my Corolla T Sport and getting her back on the road after 10 years parked up. Well… and swap the engine in my Mazda 3 after the oil pump failed and seized the engine 🤷‍♂️ Toyota’s always live on though!

[@oldshovel]

Sounds like an awesome project

[@jasonjavelin]

What a good pickup! That TRD supercharger is awesome and first gens rule. Im a second gen guy but love toyota trucks and SUVs!

[@twiora]

Toyota restorations Step 1: Clean off wasp nests Step 2: Jump start Step 3: Done

[@oldshovel]

lol 😂 true. I do plan on a little more but the rest is almost just cosmetic 🙌

[@monkist]

Knowing how great you did the bike restorations, I have high expectations! Would really love to see how this truck turn out!

[@CSIPSD]

Every 20 something mountain bikers dream truck in the 2000's... LOL

[@oldshovel]

Totally

[@sk8er8679]

I love Tacoma's. Bullet proof trucks. Run forever.

[@hambonelouis]

Omg I can’t wait to see this truck after you’re done

[@chrisryan9986]

Great project, have an 03 Tundra myself. If I can make a couple suggestions... Get rid of the old fuel, put a couple cans of Berryman chem tool in the tank with fresh gas. Include some Marvel mystery oil with the Oil change. If the power steering pump works, its likely the metal line rusted out. Don't drive the truck too much without the power steering functional. It will damage other components. Ditch the body lift for sure. Looking forward to this project!

[@luisr.blanco8098]

This content is awesome! Love that super charged Tacoma! hopefully the leak is no the steering rack !

[@rossbodenmann]

This truck is the equivalent of a late nineties hard tail with prestige tubing

[@Reciovex20]

Congrats on 200k subs! Always the best videos to watch!

[@cyrilvillarosa2421]

Nice work and project you got there. Enjoy the journey.

[@57northphoto32]

This is going to be a great new series. I totally agree, get rid of the body lift totally, it will look nicer with more of a stock look. You could spray the rear tub with Raptor coat it’s going to be more durable than the body liner anyway, I’ve found over the years they get sun damaged and end up looking awful anyway. Sadly we never got the Tacoma in the UK just the Hi Lux which don’t fair so well with the climate over here, great engines though. 👍🏻

[@no_mechanic]

Looking forward to follow this project :)

[@oldshovel]

Awesome thanks

[@petecurran3995]

Great work - the beastie is well worth the resurrection! 👌🏼

[@wajical]

Once the truck is done, how about a bike to match...Just a thought :)

[@tinglydingle]

To be completely blunt, this is what my Hilux looks like on a good day!

[@oldshovel]

Awesome. 🙌

[@pirogue6565]

Cool series! Might wanna review the proper sequence for attaching/detaching jumper cables, though.

[@meckkz387c]

My buddy had a red one with the supercharger these are pretty bad ass

[@rollovaughan]

Of course it’ll start. It’s a Yota!

[@oldshovel]

I know 😁

[@truhbf]

Havent even hit play yet... This will 100% start Toyotas are over engineered to run forever WITHOUT regular maintenance It will start

[@truhbf]

3:46 vindicated

[@jefftoonstra5087]

If that motor has a timing belt and it sat for a long time, I’d replace it as they go bad sitting even if they don’t look worn or not due to change from mileage.

[@daledubose3032]

I like it. New overland build?

[@user-oc4gu3wr8j]

Крутой проект 👍

[@oldshovel]

Thanks 🙏

[@markusilomaki8922]

Just put a bike on the back of your mtb truck when you work on it and it will be all bike content 😊

[@oldshovel]

Spot on my friend. 🙌

[@Gabbro.88]

Ciao..da quanto anni era ferma l'auto?

[@willardhunt1200]

Do they use salt on the roads in winter? I didn’t see any serious rust.

[@oldschooldude3500]

Utah department of transportation and other city's use salt on the roads in the winter. There's a special mine in utah that mines for red salt and sells to udot and many other cities for using on the roads in the winter.

[@jgunnink3]

So that gas was sitting in there five years?

[@30bones]

Leaving that sit for 5 years makes me sad. Bold move to take it out on the streets without really seeing how well the brakes work 😂

[@Do-andL3arn]

What are you talking about, it’s not a restoration, just some tlc
