Will It Run Abandoned 6 Wheeled Mini Truck | Iconic 1977 Toyota Hilux | RESTORED

Join in with the Restored crew as they jump head first into this $400 dollar marketplace steal. After buying this 6 wheeled 1977 Toyota Hilux race truck sight unseen, the team discovers that this abandoned beauty was once an iconic Lemon's racer! Excited to see if there is any life left in her, Lance and Wyatt dig in and diagnoses what it will take to get this speed racer alive and back on the road again. After working through the hurdles this unique project throws at them, the team must decide how much they are willing to put into it before they have to cut their losses. Will it run and cruise the roads again or will it fall apart in the process?

I'm almost 57. I gotta be around your pops age. He's probably younger, though. I love the pops and son and daughter stuff. What a loving and close knit family. I love it!

[@jackbossick3767]

Dang it’s a 24 hr of lemons 🍋 car! That’s crazy lmao

[@daved7024]

Those 20R 4 cylinders are bulletproof 😊👍

[@wesboos9174]

You guys care so much about our entertainment that you spent money on a pile of garbage. That's commitment. Keep them coming guys love your channel

[@charlesyoung7436]

"Sight unseen?" I'd say more like "shite unseen," but trust these guys to come out on top for the entertainment, if nothing else.

[@southpineshooligan]

It was 400 bucks, it aint that deep

[@wesboos9174]

400 on that thing is way deeper than most would go

[@nakedanimegirlspls]

Slap a cab, clip on it and a flat bed you got yourself a great shop gopher truck

[@averyparticularsetofskills]

No prob selling it for 900 - 1200 Bills running and prob break even if it didnt sooooo 🤷‍♂️ nothing lost but a lil time

[@OfficialStumpMan]

Puddin would’ve had that thing running in less than 30 minutes. And it’s even his color. 😂

[@danielburke8350]

When you found the writing on the back of the spoiler it all made sense. The "24 Hours of Lemons" is an endurance race for ordinary guys - you go out and find a junker, get it running, and bring it and race it. But it can't be over $500.

[@dod180]

THE APEX VINYL TEAM first in there clause for 23h and wold not start after there last pit stop hence the i got screwed award

[@necrosbowen]

it started in the 2012 24 hours of lemons, there is a picture of it online here is the description........... That brings us to the I Got Screwed Award, which want to the Apex Vinyl Mater six-wheeled Toyota Hilux pickup. With its slushbox transmission and ill-suited-for-LeMons-racing 20R engine, the six-wheeler isn’t anywhere near fast, but the Apex Vinyl team looked to have the class win nailed down with less than an hour to go on Sunday. Then the truck wouldn’t start after a pit stop, and the TARP “Simca” got the Class C win by two laps.

[@virginiosantiago3329]

I love this father and son I miss my dad I work on cars my self and he would be there with me

[@catgirl8845]

Lance “ of course the junkiest we work on, has the best brakes “! 😂 Thanks for the laugh, I needed that! 😊

[@SuperchiefApache]

Those old 22R engines are nearly indestructible!!!!

[@elgenerz]

It’s a 20R. 😛

[@bowsergunner9680]

Great job on making the video. All those camera setups! Those action shots take up so much time to plan and implement. Its so easy to take it for all granted, but the time it takes to put it all together is like watching an orchestra director at a concert.

[@DancerOfClouds]

That was awesome guys. Not sure what your plans are with it, but it needs a new cab for sure. God bless you all.

[@tntchitwood]

A GM HEI module can be substituted for that Toyota electronic ignition box on the coil. That’s what I did for mine. Good job guys

[@richardleighton5009]

20R The 2-valve SOHC 2.2 L (2,190 cc) 20R was produced from 1975 through 1980. Cylinder bore and stroke was 88.5 mm × 89 mm (3.48 in × 3.50 in). Aluminum alloy heads were used. Initial output was 72 kW (97 hp; 98 PS) at 4800 rpm (90 hp (67 kW; 91 PS) in California) and 162 N⋅m (119 lb⋅ft) at 2,800 rpm. Power was down slightly from 1978 through 1979 at 71 kW (95 hp; 97 PS) at 4800 rpm and 165 N⋅m (122 lb⋅ft) at 2400 rpm. The final version, from 1979 through 1980, was down again at 67 kW (90 hp; 91 PS) at 4800 rpm (still at 95 hp (71 kW; 96 PS) in Canada) and 165 N⋅m (122 lb⋅ft) at 2400 rpm. The 20R and subsequent models featured important design changes relative to the earlier SOHC R-series engines. The head was changed from a reverse-flow to a cross-flow type with hemispherical combustion chambers and shorter valve rockers. The timing chain was strengthened. The lower block bearings were strengthened against wear, safeguarding oil pressure, and the stroke was lengthened. The changes increased torque substantially and shifted peak power and torque towards the lower speed range. The later R series engines did much to establish Toyota's reputation for reliability, which had previously been indifferent at best. Applications: 1975-1980 Toyota Hilux 1975-1980 Toyota Celica (U.S. Version) 1975-1980 Toyota Corona (U.S. Version) Toyota Stout (RK110/111) Toyota Coaster (RB11)[20]

[@jmyd83]

you sure though 😂 👍

[@richardleighton5009]

@@jmyd83 Yes Sir, been known to work on Toyota's a time or two . But mostly like the older Chevys.

[@user-ee8nd8tb8s]

So glad you folks were able to overcome the trials that came your way.Looking forward to your continued success.

[@paulschedler]

I would have changed those plugs early on, but one never knows. There are many things that contribute to the running or NOT running, and I bet on you and Toyota engines! WINNERS!

[@markbrown-us4xe]

The name, "Get that thing away from me " Impressive trouble shooting. Thanks.

[@mgtv0310]

Hope some performance company like holley support them for parts. I love watching them bringing neglected cars back to the road. Keep it up Restored team

[@RESTORED-HOPE]

That would be cool!

[@wcasby0204]

I know if anybody can get a vehicle running you guys can because you are blessed men of God. Love you guys.

[@philipsearls1946]

Wonderful video, Found your channel a while back. Brings back memory's of myself and my Dad working on his old Cars. I went on to qualify as a Mechanic. Loved it. Watching you guys ever since. May the good Lord watch over you and your Dad. Big Thumbs up.

[@thedarkskinlegend380]

I love all the scene cuts its like im watching a reality show fr

[@alanstant9356]

You guys really do a good job working on old classics. I enjoy watching what you guys do and I feel that I'm there helping you lol. Thanks for sharing all that you guys do and God Bless You Guys.

[@jeremyTallen1]

This is one of thr most beautiful trucks I have ever seen!

[@williamdingler7334]

We that’s a miss Marryat bucket. A Petty blue Toyota with a Dale Earnhardt number. LMBO!!! Good work guys and gal. Love it.

[@DaveSquibbSr]

The old truck looks like something out of the 24 hours of lemon race, it's a race for cars valued under $500.

[@unclejustin7267]

I love this channel and what you all do. You had asked in the most recent falcon ranchero video why this toyota truck wasn't as popular as your other "will it run" videos. I grew up in my dad's shop and have been working on old cars for years and I will just say that people could not relate because it wasn't something they drove in high school, it wasn't something grandpa had on the farm and the truck was just too far gone with rust for people to imagine it having a new lease on life. That said, keep on doing what you do because I will watch every video. Thanks for the great content!

[@RESTORED-HOPE]

That makes sense! It was a pretty cool truck and couldn’t beat the purchase price so we figured we’d give it a go! Thanks for the comment ❤️

[@thomaswermager1819]

Wow! What on earth did you get into with that thing! Again your persistence came through. I can’t say it’s one of the prettiest you’ve ever done, but maybe one with the most holes. Talk about flow through ventilation! Great work, Great video! Thank you all!

[@AZVIDS]

So happy to see a new video from you all! She looks like a wrecker (not a wreck🤔)👍👍👍

[@sharlaash5034]

We love watching you. Thanks for keeping the faith.

[@johnellick7778]

Love watching you guys figure out how to get a dead rust bucket back to life. Great work guys !!!

[@war7334]

I have never seen anything like that truck.Keep it.Its a one of a kind

[@AcidicAnomoly]

I believe this truck was modeled after “Mater” in the Disneys Cars series of short films in the episode “Tokyo Mater” !!

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

Yep. That looks like a Lemons truck. I don't know a ton about it (I'm in another country) but the 24 hrs of Lemons is a long race for crazy people with crazy cars having a lot of fun. Ya, the judges are crazy too. It probably had that much rust when it hit the track. The extra axle and the wing are just there for the fun of it.

[@danswartwood4580]

Thank you Lance for sharing your video and your APPRECIATION to your subscribers.

[@boomerbassmeme]

That duct tape on the oil filter had me rolling and reminded me of a friend from way back in the early 80s 🤣🤣 He hit some debris in the road and sprung a leak in his oil filter and duct taped it. Most of his van was held together with duct tape! He made it work though 🙏🙏

[@jjthekilllalandrum943]

Awesome video. I love yalls will it run videos keep ‘em coming thanks guys

[@paulym5814]

This one looks like it came out of a cars movie. Make a great parade vehicle for sure.

[@Reza_Rahbarazad]

I love your channel guys, but remember always cut the radiator fan until you run the engine, thanks guys ❤❤❤❤

[@richardracette6162]

Good job, guys! It will be interesting to see what you do with that old truck.

[@kennyrichard2971]

The blue bomber ! another awesome video guys

[@Jeff-1969]

Good thing it has a crash cage. Or you might have been giving it a name more akin to Taco Shell.☺️

[@andrewm6192]

Great video......crazy truck

[@extra7jet]

Restore this car to perfection it will be cool❤

[@JuryRigged77]

Dude...Fix it up...New cab and front clip with a new plate for the bed....That thing is wild looking... Love it just because its weird!...Good job!

Custom bumper install was mint lol

[@paulabradley2845]

This is insane.....but as usual most impressive. Good Job ! pb

[@2coolwheels139]

I think what I like best about your videos is the father/son teamwork. I make similar videos, and wish my son had more interest in cars and motorcycles.

[@Oyvind88]

Great one guys, love the work you are doing guys🔥😎👌❤🇳🇴

[@toddthewodd]

Back in the day I had a 77 Toyota Corona Wagon. I named it Timex because despite having been T-Boned, the ol' lady rear ended someone in it, Stolen (and recovered eventually), did some mild practice hits on my demolition derby cars, and having almost 300K, it definitely took a lickin and kept on tickin. It finally met it's demise when the guy I sold it to was running from the cops and tried to cross the rail road tracks where you weren't supposed to cross them. ANYWHO, I always thought that little knob thing on the distributor was to "fine tune" the timing. But that's just what I thought, not really sure. Those 20R and 22RE motors are bullet proof. God Bless!

[@joshuataylor4256]

That’s a fun little truck.. glad you got it running

[@user-lk1lw8bj9g]

Love watching you two guys work, keep m coming

[@DarkFlamage]

As far as gettin' in & out, did you even check if that thing has a quick release steering wheel? It probably does!

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Great job getting it going! It sounds pretty good now that it's running on all four. It is unique enough that it you could find another cab to swap onto it maybe someone will buy it for more than you have in it? Awesome video!

[@justinraystyles3537]

That truck would be awesome with a ls swap and turbo 400 trans! patch up the rust you got one sweet race truck!💗💗

[@burtnelson1987]

That thing takes the term rat rod to a whole new level. Fun to watch you get it going, but I don't think it's going to pass any inspections, safety or otherwise. Keep having fun, and stay safe.

[@justinraystyles3537]

Wow $400 and delivered you got an awesome deal!😱💗💗

[@Easterndmondbk]

Those were good engines, nice wheels, and it does run. All else fails sell the good parts at auction and you can get your money out of it. I bet that header isn't cheap either. You may make a bit yet. Best part is you got out there with your pop. My dad is 82, not doing well, neither am I. Just good to spin a wrench with your pop. Worth every dime.

[@larrynorem2639]

I hate to tell you this but that could be a rocket truck too. You know what's a rocking engine on the back

[@justinraystyles3537]

That ain't rust that's patina!😂😂

[@TTIYTE13]

Now I'm auctioning this one lol! Awesome job guys!

[@KarmaShootsYa]

Aestheticly I love this truck. I would just bedliner the whole thing to keep it together

[@ricothompson7451]

I need these sort of people in my life. I have an 84 chevy s10 and I have work and school and would just like my tuck to run properly.

[@caroled5734]

I’m glad it looks like your back is feeling better.

[@jasonmoran8222]

That Toyota is bulletproof!! Got so much rust, bullets pass through unobstructed😂

[@dlog1655]

Awesome job guys and gal.👍🏼

Looks like a MAD MAX MACHINE !!!

[@tterbogaming9749]

I love the fact its got a dodge ram hood emblem and half a ford f series grill

[@simonharris1804]

Good job getting it going rips now 👍 Any chance you could show how the rear suspension works couldn’t really see much in the video If you could that would be awesome thanks guys Cool race car👍

[@JSCB-365]

I'm familiar with rusty projects. And this video makes meem feel like I need a Tetanus shot

[@jimburgess9205]

Fellas, that thing’s a mess, I love it!

[@tayro7265]

I've noticed several of the older electric fuel pumps are failing. When I open them up the rubber baffles and valves have turned to goo. Probably the new gas blends are dissolving them.

[@dave1135]

I have a small engine shop, ethanal is hard on fuel components. I get carbs and rubber fuel lines that have turned to goo even after sitting a year.

[@deniseprettner2020]

Those old Hilux’s were hard to kill.

Какая крутая тачка !! Молодцы ребята, что вы поставили ее на ход! Респект вам

I want this truck so bad you guys are super lucky to have gotten this

I sold my last 20r for more than 400 bucks so I think you all got a good deal, neat truck that is a bit past it's life, but neat build

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video RESTORE Crew Wyatt :) , Lance :) , Christine :) also nice video on Race Truck and nickname Catch Me If Can ? I like it to and wild build yes and first ever seen 6 wheels on 1977 Toyota pick up for sure and motor surprises me it 4 cylinders with 4 spark plugs also wires! Most old from that years were 2.4 litre with 2 spark plugs on each cylinder and 8 wire on one distributor cap ! Someone must use old Datsun type to for sure 👍!

[@graceoutdoors4173]

You should name that truck Tetanus because you need to make sure you have your Tetanus shot before working on it with all the rust lol

[@ksokie63]

Hey ya,ll 👋, that was interesting video on the mini truck. It looks bad ,but runs and drives. Thanks so much for sharing🖐

[@firewalker1372]

Can’t go wrong with good ol Alabama chrome. Makes it go faster.

[@WayneLavallee-ol3ww]

Good thing about this truck is the motor if it runs. A person can always put it in something like go cart if they decide to build one.

[@shanewright6958]

Another great video guy’s 👍👍

[@kevinAuman1]

Yeah I'd name errr "the slow getaway" cause while it won't even outrun the mail-trucks or a spot of rust it still is cooler'n all get out!

Looks pretty cool from 100 ft away. LOL I kinda like the look of the trailing axel.
