My 86 Toyota Build Part 1
I got this truck 11 years ago when i was 16. Its an 86 Toyota 22r 4 cylinder 5 speed 4x4 pickup. I drove it my Junior and senior year while dad and I worked on it.
It was my grandpas truck we bought off a cousin after they creamed a deer.
We pulled out the front end best we could and replaced the clutch fan and radiator.
. Since the bumper was ruined along with the grille dad and i made a homeade bumper from exhaust pipe and a grille from rabbit wire.
Did a little rust patchin and prepped her for paint.
Ive done alot to this truck over the years that I've had it and this is only the beginning of the story.
That is a great truck cause those Toyota 22R engines are bulletproof and last forever.

My gosh, this truck really has a story. Can't wait to see it all again.
I can't remember, how long had this truck been parked after the deer accident? I know it was at least 2 years wasn't it?
Yes 2 years minimum for sure. Possibly more.
Awesome job. The 22r engine is dam near bullet proof. Did you know they made that truck with a turbo for a few years? 22RE. Rare as hens teeth now.
