The $8000 Toyota Pickup Overland Build

[@joemama.556]

"8 grand canadian so about 45 bucks of the us" lol that had me dead

[@DeskToGlory]

Haha! It's the truth!

[@AveryCaudill]

Big inspiration! I just (last night!) bought a ‘92 regular cab in the same color, 300k ish miles but a newer 3.5 swap :) I’m going to binge read the build info now

[@auomauom]

I miss my old toyota pickup. Thinking of buying another 90s and fixing her up.

[@ravenfeather7087]

Started my Toyota run with a 1983 red 4 x 4 pickup. Perfect. It was absolutely dependable until it literally rotted away. The original 22R. Since then it's been a 1988 4-Runner, a 1991 4 X 4 Hi-Lux, a little Toyota Corolla that ran until a huge tree landed on right in the middle of it and squashed it during a windstorm (paid $700 for it and probably put 100K on it), and am currently running a 97 4 x 4 with almost 300K on it of which I put on almost 200K. The little 2.7 4-banger but I've pulled a 16ft RV all over the country with it including rocky mountain back roads and it still does not use a quart of oil between changes. Runs flawlessly. I also run a Ford 4 x 4 PU for hauling wood. Guess which one I work on almost continuously.

I just git my 86 running!! Love your build , can't wait to experience some overland trips

[@bigriver3278]

That is one good lookin truck....bet it's fun to drive as pictured!

[@DeskToGlory]

Thanks!

You’re Toyota pickup has been a big part of the inspiration behind my 1st gen Tacoma build. Liking the new channel!

Thanks!! That's awesome!

[@leclercj764]

Inspiring dude. Gonna turn my 91 4runner to an overland rig. Just redid the suspension , kept the stock IFS but new coils and shocks w/ a lift . Next in line is the 3.4 swap as I do not trust my 3.0 v6 to go on long trips

[@jasonpatterson2258]

I have a '94 bought in '04 with 80k miles. Now has 150k and baby it. I'd trust it to drive more than my 2016 f-150 any day.

[@simpleinstinct]

Good bones. That's always a good start.

[@DeskToGlory]

Exactly!

[@nickc3856]

I mean this truck is fine I guess, but it doesn't stack up to the ultimate overlanding vehicle (my '92 Toyota Camry) which has premium expedition features like: -A powerful 1.8-liter engine that goes 0-60 in a BLAZING fast 22.5 seconds -Genuine _Panafonic™_ tape deck with Jimmy Buffett's _Cheeseburger in Paradise_ stuck on repeat - A half-eaten CLIF bar in the glove compartment for sustenance on the go ...and so much more. If you beg nicely, I MIGHT be willing to sell for $30,000 U.S.

[@DeskToGlory]

Hahahaha

[@derekdavis6508]

Can't beat old yotas, a friend of mine is still driving an old Corolla, it has 350k on it, I'd prolly take it cross country.

I was following y'all on Instagram when you were traveling and later read every blog post. It's been fun seeing Richard palling with the guys of XO. Love you guys, and I'm excited any time y'all have anything for us on KZbin. And what a truck! I'd love to follow a build series for your new Tundra :)

[@DeskToGlory]

Thanks so much for the kind words! Yep, going to keep video updates going of both trucks along with travel vlogs. Looking forward to sharing our adventures a little differently from now on! - R I’ve had a blast hanging out with the XO crew!

[@AndresBrakes]

I appreciate the detailed description, in planning to copy this set up , seems affordable and dependable

[@doyrayburn2668]

Love it!! Nice job saving a family vehicle.

[@Dode1936]

Haha fo sho, lots of D2G blog content! Think I learned about your adventures in late 2016, and during my lunch breaks at work, I would read the trip posts. It took me a few weeks to read them all! Love your photography skills and Ashley's writing. Cheers.

[@DeskToGlory]

Thanks so much! (Ash says "Thanks!" too) :)

Great project pickup truck. Best wishes in your future endeavors.

[@JLS..Pacheco]

Liking the new channel..I'm on my 5th Toyota truck (all Tacoma's) started with a single cab back in 95 Now in a 2015 4 door long bed w/a FWC Eagle. Thought about straying a few times but reliability and resale are hard to beat. Keep the videos coming.👊

[@DeskToGlory]

Will do! Thanks for following along!

[@NyeTimes]

How does this only have 730 views after 24 hours? We gotta change that! Pretty cool to hear the quick and dirty on Little Red, and so, so impressed with what you guys make happen. My wife and I took a little dose of inspiration from y'all 1.5 years ago and drove from Denver to San Jose, CR in "Cami" (our T100 camioneta). Door is always open with hot (better than Horton's) coffee on the stove, and cold (sorry, it's just Imperial) in the fridge. Salud!

[@DeskToGlory]

Taylor Nye we’ll be in San Jose this May. Real coffee and Imperial sounds fantastic!

[@NyeTimes]

Feel free to send me a note on insta @nyetimes or on FB messenger and we can make that happen. Also, if you guys have any logistical stuff I can help with down here, don't be bashful to ask!

[@DeskToGlory]

We need to film some more there for sure!

[@markolivares6943]

68 dislikes? Nothing but haters… this is one awesome truck. My uncle still has one and keeps in in excellent condition.

[@blapblapism]

You should consider a 3.4 swap! I had a 87 4Runner 22re, it was a great engine just not enough power. I recently got a second gen 4Runner with a 3.4 and its 👌 and the engines have a history of reliability.

[@jvogler_art4708]

Might as well just buy a 1st gen tacoma with the 3.4. Not a fan of cheesey swap builds. Also its the 3rd gen 4runner that has the 3.4. I have one too and they're great. The 22re is best in a 2wd work truck, yes it's slow but it's a very capable, reliable engine with a timing chain instead of belt.

[@mazamike]

Nice truck! Had the ‘92 and ‘96, the ‘92 was a better all around truck. Large double double!! So much better than Starbucks.

[@terrymcdougall8153]

I have a 1993 Warn bumpers a full rack HD and raised shell just finally slid in a winch , I wove my truck . It’s been everywhere you want to go, and ... more.If you can find one rust free they are worth the weight in Diamonds. Nice video maybe get some drone shots? Just saying want to see pics of the toyinaction.

[@Owenhill000]

Where did you get the fiber glass fenders? And How was the install, i have a 93 pickup and absolutely love yours

[@DeskToGlory]

Thanks! They're from toyotafiberglass.com. Install was straightforward, but they come unfinished so you do have to trim the fender to fit the door gap and also drill the mounting holes.

[@NitroGear]

Love it!

[@DeskToGlory]

Nitro Gear just needs a locker of sorts now 👍🏻

[@NitroGear]

Let us know when we can help you with that ;)

[@michaelahr1]

How was it driving Little Red with this suspension setup? I have a 92 that's just for driving around with no load and needs the suspension redone and I like what you did, just don't want it too stiff so wanted to ask. Thanks for your time and have an awesome day!

[@vitocontreras7385]

I got a 91 Extended cab with the 3.0L V6 stick. You got any good mods to throw on and best place to get them

[@DeskToGlory]

I had a 93 with a built 3.0L. Fairly simple rebuilt with some more aggressive cams. With a free flowing exhaust it loved to rev. LCEngineering is a great place to take a look! Also, 3.4L's swap in fairly easily.

[@indianfury711]

what kind of frame is over the camper shell? i need something like that

[@Ghostrider-ko7sb]

So coool! I was just wondering how hard it was to put in that bigger fuel tank. What did you have to do to make it fit? I have a grey one. 35s v6 with a rear tank on it from Downey. Any help here would be much appreciated. I looked up the tank and it’s over to grand. Gotta make it work. Thanks Brother.

Always had problems with headgaskets be it 22Re or 3.0 and had rear of crankshaft snapping of in front of clutch lots of recalls but cool looks good ill go 2nd gen or 4th myself

[@seamuscc]

How do the KM3s compare to the KO2s on your Tundra? Particularly driving on snowy highways???

[@DeskToGlory]

I'm sold on the KO2s for everything I drive on (including snowy highways). The KM3s are good in the snow, but definitely not as good as the All Terrains. Saying that, the K02s aren't as good on the snow/ice as the Michelin winter tires that were on a truck I recently borrowed, but everything's a compromise. I haven't had a chance to spend a whole bunch of time driving the truck with KM3s on it yet, but I'll keep you updated as I put more mileage on them.

[@jvogler_art4708]

sooooo hard to find a extra cab gen 5 4x4 with a 22RE. ive been looking for weeks and havent found one. no one wants to sell em cause they're so good.

[@worldvespa]

We sold the Delica about a year ago. Realized pretty quickly that we didn't need two antiquated 90's Japanese 4x4s that can barely do the speed limit.
