Favorite Toyota Ever Built

I'm hella jelly, hermano

 

I bought the lifted triple locked 94 Landcruiser as pictured from here on the TW classifieds from a fellow TW member @travistheone for $1700. I use it as my mountain beater up at my cabin. My stock 95 Landcruiser I'm doing a hg replacement now on that one, it's also triple locked.

 

That is bad ass and what a 4WD should look like.

 

So glad this is in the 1st gen section and filled with Land Cruisers and other cool retro trucks, vs. the 3rd gen section where it'd just be filled with TRD Bro's.

 

I’m a sucker for a blue Toyota. It’s a shame they didn’t offer a good looking blue for our first gen tacos.

 

That’s the first year of the IFS isn’t it?

 

I believe in late 85 manufacturing but sold as new 1986s

 

Hino Ranger the cab over Paris to Dakar version

 

Hands down... 1000hp Cummings diesel, Prorock 60 axles, tube frame, 4 link front/rear with 3.0 coilovers, 2.5 bumps and an interior nicer than any new luxury European car. Still think it’s the best deal ever for only $300k

 

Noice! We don't see much Hino stuff at all!! Those look badass! I gots some cool searching/researching to do

 

Few jobs ago we were working in West Africa. Our staff vehicle was a shitbox 4 door diesel Ranger, but the boss had this Prado. He was endlessly annoyed that we were constantly borrowing it. That little SUV was a tough bastard. It was the only vehicle remotely comfortable when trying to get through the torn up streets of downtown. Rolled over those missing manhole covers like a tank.






Honorable mention: the HiAce

 

Yes, I was done with the new Toyotas when my friend bought a TRD Pro Tundra and I found out they don’t even have a locking rear differential.

 

Lots of Hino & Mitsubishi Fuso expedition style truck builds on the Expedition Portal website. Underrated vehicles with 4x4 capability.

 

1996 - 24 years old 414,000 trouble-free miles, never pampered:

 

We’re about to pull the 22re and drop a 1uz in this bad boy finally threw a rod after 333k

 

Please share your progress

 

Here is mine. I would only pick out of the ones I have owned. True - a twin turbo Supra would be cool but I've never driven one. A brand new Tacoma would be cool but I have never owned one. This 1983 blows my mind how well she still drives. Original drive-train with who knows how many miles.

 

They're all about stickers and badges now. The only cool thing they have is A-trac, but my SR5 4Runner has that. Don't need to spend $50k on a Pro to get it.

 

1986 Toyota Pickup. Mine looked like this, except it was 2wd. 22R engine. Put over 300k on the original muffler.
