Disagree with the statement you don't want your frame twisting on a rock face, I want all the articulation I can get 4x4 to give me grip First vehicle I got to drive was an '84 manual Toyota pickup when I was 12. That Toyota sadly had the Frame rust and bust inches after the cab but with some talented weilders they cut out 16 inches-ish removed the box for a simple flat bed and changed the gas tank for a gas tank from a snowmobile because that motor sipped gas compared to other crawlers. Kinda surprised you didn't bring up the axels in the Toyota pick-up people will pay for a junked pickup for just the axels and drive train for the stating point of a custom crawler.

I have a 93 extra cab 2 wheel drive, all white with light grey interior, 95 4runner front end with the big plastic headlights so not sealed beam anymore. lowerd on 18's. Static suspension i might add, WITH a factory just not factory to this truck, 22re turbo setup that took a long time to get all together, but works amazingly! Not sure if amazingly is a word, but today it is! I love this truck and every time i get gas or its parked in front of my house i get countless offers to sell it, but idk what i could replace it with that is any better so its always thanx, but no thanx.

So that's why I don't see any Toyota Trucks older than 15years on the road anymore! They all rusted to pieces and tight car safety regulations in my country in Europe didn't allow for the frame being welded together. I was starting to wonder where all these pristine indestructible 90's Trucks everybody loves are and it turns out they only survived in dry and hot climates where there's no road salt used during winter. Damn you cold winters with your road salt eating away everything older than 15 years!

Racecars and streetcars favor a firm chassis because flex in the body is uncontrolled and therefore less predictable causing instability at high speeds. Trucks are different since their suspension deal with more mass. More mass = harder suspension = less dampening. A less firm chassis will help with the dampening. This isn't the best solution but bare in mind these trucks aren't going around the track cornering at 100mph. Also their mass helps with high speed stability anyway.

We had one of these trucks we use in the mud runs. It was a really great truck. It would go through every thing we through at it. We would go into the pit open the doors so in Sunk in the mud and crawled through the mud. Don t remember it ever getting stuck. Only stoped running when it got wedged and stuck on logs in my grandpas bush. Has been there for almost ten years would probably run after an hour or two of work.

In Brazil, we have a energy company that had a bunch o Toyota pick ups (look for Toyota Bandeirante, aka land cruiser 40 series) that uses 2f engines. A friend of mine bought one in auction because they were renewing the line of pick ups for the company. He drove it for a while (months) and when he had the money to finally restaure it, they open up the engine and the gearbox and it had SAND inside. And it was fine!

My dad used to own a first generation Isuzu Trooper two-door with an I4 diesel (no turbo. He drove that thing all over the country on road trips with my mom and older sister before I was born. He described it as built like a tank. He even maxed out the odometer on that thing. He sold that old SUV several years ago to a family friend. It still runs around on their farm as a work vehicle.

There is a 1995 T100 on my street I always park my 3rd Gen Tacoma near it so hopefully some of the reliability rubs off. While it isn't the 80s gem, she is pretty close. (Side note: the 3rd gen is the same size as the T100 if not slightly wider which is pretty wild given the T100 was Toyotas full size at the time, just goes to show how big small trucks are getting)

So I guess these Donut Media people have no cares about the Chevy Colorado. Reasons why? I get all the GM haters out there and the fact that it s kinda bland compared to all of the other midsize trucks but Donut has usually been pretty good at covering not-so-popular models here and there. Here s to hoping they do at some point; it s a great truck IMO.

Learned to drive standard in a 1981 Pickup (Hilux. Odo stopped at 322, 000 and kept going for longer. Choke on the Carby was broken, so you had to feather the gas until it maintained an idle. Overall would get another one between that and the one from Top Gear getting blown up, sunk, and crush yet still driving away.
