Daily Driving A 25 Year Old Toyota 4x4 - What To Expect

[@stephen_cs]

Got my t100 a year and a half ago. 1995 with 215000 miles on it and drove it ~1000 miles home. Absolutely in love with this thing as it’s my first truck. I don’t think people fully understand how well built they were

[@pegasus5763]

thinking about buying one with 130k for $5k any thoughts?

[@stephen_cs]

@@pegasus5763 if it's 2wd, I'd pass personally. I don't see much reason for getting a 2wd truck unless you're hauling stuff, and even the 4x4 3.4l is a little underpowered. I couldn't imagine hauling stuff with the 2wd. There is however a market for 2wd trucks, and for that I would suggest going onto Toyotanation.com or yotatech.com and asking in the t100 threads because I do not know much about it (forums will become your new best friend). First, make sure title is clean If it's 4wd, check to make sure everything seems to be working alright, no fluids leaking, sounds good, minimal rust (especially on frame/drivetrain) etc. My specific truck had been sitting in a field for about a year before I bought it, so there was a fair amount of rust, but the frame itself was in decent shape. I do a lot of snow driving and a little off-roading so I had to replace some of the 4wd components on mine and I replaced about all of the steering components. I still need to replace all the brakes and brake lines. Biggest thing to know is that whatever you buy it for, you will need to invest a lot more time and money into repair and maintenance, so hopefully you have budgeted accordingly. If you don't do your own work on the truck, just assume with parts and labor at a shop, you may easily double cost in less than 5 years. A set of decent 4x4 wheels were about $1000 including mounting and balancing at a shop. It will feel like every time you fix something, a new problem shows up, which can be frustrating, but also incredibly rewarding when you get to drive it. These trucks are nearly 30 years old, and as they age, every component gets closer to failure. That's just part of owning classic trucks though, and you need to be honest with yourself about whether you can handle the time and money it will require to own the truck. Insurance will also undervalue the truck, so if something happens and there is damage, insurance may try to total it over the most insignificant damage and will not properly compensate you for what you have into the truck or what the truck is worth. Again, just part of owning a near-classic truck. If you have any friends or family members that are into cars, see if they'd be willing to work on things with you as they arise (I was lucky, my brother-in-law was a former Toyota mechanic who still works on cars a lot so I can message him whenever I have questions). To reiterate what I stated earlier, forums will become your best friend and have saved me many times. I would also look into finding a copy of the repair manual immediately if you do get the truck. This may be a lot of information to throw at you, but I think it's also my responsibility if I give advice to be honest about what you're likely to face. Last thing I want is for you to get the truck and then be unprepared when something breaks and then you're out 5,000 with a truck that doesn't work. I love my truck and it has been through a lot with me and helped me out in numerous situations, but there's been a lot of struggles to get there and there will be a lot more to come. It has taught me a lot about myself and how I deal with things and ways I can improve, and you have to have an open mind going into it.

[@pegasus5763]

@@stephen_cs Hey man thanks for the response. Gave me a lot of info I didn’t really consider. This will be my first car, as i’m only 16 and getting my license soon. $5k is up there on my budget but I’ll still have some left over yet, not enough for a bunch of repairs. The truck i’m looking at is 4wd and has a decent amount of rust, and has been fluid coated but i’m sure it has some problems. AC doesn’t work, bed is dented. The truck is in pretty rough shape. I’m just thinking I might pass on this truck because of things like excessive maintenance like you said, as it’s a 25 year old truck. As of right now, I just don’t have the funds to keep feeding into a truck like this. I love them, and I love the look, but when I’m older i’ll get one hopefully. Again, thanks for the response, I appreciate it!

[@stephen_cs]

[@zapcodeknock4503]

@@stephen_cs dude i have the 95 2wd and haul with it all of the time. Almost always have the bed full. May have needed 4x4 only once now and i got good tires just incase there is lots of snow. Have driven up unpaved roads in 4-5 in of snow in 2wd nicely. Have hauled up to 1,100 lbs in the bed little to squatting with KYB shocks. Have had some leaks under the hood but truck keeps going and i put my money into it from time to time no biggie. Just added on custom exhaust with a magnaflow muffler recently. Will drive it while longer and then get suspension parts one day, i want a little lift too. Truck is a solid work truck no rust really except the old muffler that was replaced.

[@mosttubular2837]

I daily my 1990 4x4 300k on the clock and she’s still got it !

[@jakemarlow8998]

Regarding the size, keep in mind that back in the '90s, Toyota trucks (including the first year of the Tacoma) were very small. That class of truck was called "mini." Before my '93 T-100, I had a 1990 Toyota truck. In comparison, the T-100 cab seemed huge!

[@locklear308]

The T100 is a fantastic size. I hate trucks now days... just freaking bulk/fat and flimsy.

[@winterbrookgaming8927]

To add on to your comment, when they stopped making T100s in 98 (I have a 98 T100) they were actually inches away from being a full-size pickup so it was compared with Chevy 2500, Dodge Ram

For under 3 grand about 7 years back ,aint nothin better then a Toyota truck I have had 3 of them ,and owned Toyota since I was young man 68 now in December .the older ones in good condition are going anywhere from 7 low ball -15 grand and more .

My '92 Pickup is still my daily driver and the only vehicle I've ever owned. It's in fair condition but needs some work. It's never been parked in a garage till recently and I used to live near the Great Salt Lake, so there's plenty of rust. I'm just starting to learn body work as I fix the rust damage. But your T100 is in really great shape! I remember when they did a Toyota T100 Terminator edition. I wanted one so bad.

Just started having a fuel injector start leaking but shouldn’t be too difficult to fix. Other than a good interior cleaning it just needs some drive time. I rebuilt the engine about 10 years ago then had a gremlin sideline the project until now. Just got it running again this past spring. The exhaust is decent but wouldn’t mind upgrading. AC needs a little work too. Found a hole in one of the lines.

I got a 97 T100 with a manual transmission a year ago. It isn't my daily driver, I use it when I need a truck and when the snow gets deep. Mine came with electric locks, windows, mirrors, fabric on the doors, and ABS. I replaced the old shocks with Bilsteins and got better tires and it really drives nice. It has five opening windows so you can really get the air moving through. I also got an $18 ROAV bluetooth device off Amazon for the cigarette lighter so I can use a smartphone to make calls and play music. I don't need to mess with the handle to close the tailgate. There must be something broken with the latch or it needs adjustment. The tailgate doesn't directly lock, but if you have a topper you can lock that.

You must have an SR5 with all the power options and ABS.. very nice! I love T100’s!!

[@drwisdom1]

@@toyotafanatics1 It isn't an SR5 so has the bench seats not the bucket seats and console. I think it was a middle level model. It has a two tone paint job, but I like it even though I prefer solid like yours.

Extra clean truck. 9.5/10. My 09 4cyl 2wd Taco just turned 200k and thank God runs like new. Go toyo..

[@shouldbdoinghw]

Great video brother! I daily the same exact truck lol I bought it in terrible shape the interior was trashed broken cup holders, ac vents, radio doorr handles exct. Hey but it never let me down I brought it back to oem over about a year U love it iman its so 90s simple!

[@shouldbdoinghw]

Very sweet truck mine is repainted flat grey! I also have a 2002 tundra 4.7 v8 4x4 black suicide doors alittle easier for groceries and carseat lol 😆. I do have my eye on a 2nd gen or 3rd gen tundra much more macho styling!

[@toyotafanatics1]

Right on, sounds like you have a couple cool trucks.. i love the simplicity of the T100.. almost daily i walk out to drive the tundra, but end up taking the T.. although today it was really hot here, and although the AC works fine in the T100, the tundras AC is like a freezer..👍🏼

[@zachbingham4109]

Im 16 and i drive a 96 t100 and i love it. just bought new tires and a lift and it still runs very good

[@toyotafanatics1]

Awesome 👍🏼

[@adventurousairman]

I had a 96 T100 4x4 5 speed, great truck, no issues ever. My straight axle 84 4x4 5 speed also was so dependable, but rust got them both......

[@toyotafanatics1]

I’m always hearing about rust issues.. i need to appreciate where i live.. we don’t have ANY rust on anything.. you couldn’t get a vehicle to rust here even if you tried.. so that’s one upside to California, but there’s some downsides too..

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

I just installed the factory OEM clock into my 1991 pickup 4x4 I found at a junkyard in a sr5 model, been driving it over 5 years.

[@americanboathead5390]

I have the same truck but white and spotty rust. I LOVE it! Only has 315k so I should be able to drive it for a while yet!

[@tundrav8georgia]

Looking over your interior remains me of my old 2000 tundra I purchased new in Calif . Looked at t100 when it was new but didn’t want a v6

[@John-ct9zs]

Honestly to me the 90s and early 2000s are not all that long ago, still sorta feels like my present, despite how much has changed. But I can see people and kids born in the 90s and 2000s thinking it’s all ancient history.

[@tedwarner1041]

I have a 94. Rebuilt engine. Love it. In minty condition. Have fun guys.

[@robertjebediahfreeman]

How did you rebuild the engine?
