Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Where is your wallet…..poll

Here's the 1988 Toyota I had, it was all original when I got it, the engine and trans got tired at 295K so I did some surgery with a Ram 2500 I had and stuffed the V8, trans, transfer case, and axles in/under the Toyota.

 

My first Toyota. 1986 22RE, 5 speed. I miss it.

 

Morning Shane and Friends

 

Never had a 4 cylinder Toyota truck; my first Yota was a 6 cylinder luckily. However my last truck was a 2.2 4 cylinder S10 with a 5-speed. Somebody slapped 3.42 gears and a lunchbox locker in it for fuel mileage. It was about as fast as a snail with a hard on. 0-60 in.... no. It struggled going up this mountain so I told myself no more 4 cylinder trucks. I miss that little bucket-o-rust though. I painted it, threw on some tint, good looking little truck.

 

Announcement.

It snowed. And now it's blowing. Do not like.

End announcement.

 

No "likes" for you!

I guess that means it hits my area in 36 hours...

 

Heck with that!

It seems I read that somewhere that we aren't going to get snow in Pa. this year, can't seem to find the article...

 

Looking at the radar, I think you're in the clear.

Perfect timing but yesterday before the white stuff hit the ground we booked a vacation from Christmas to New Years.

 

Mostly sunny and 66 degrees here today

 

Mileage is getting higher

 

Especially at that speed!

 

RE: Poll

Have yet to own a 4 cylinder Yota pick up but I have driven a few. After driving a few trucks with the 22R/ 22RE and owning a 4 cyl Chevy LUV with all 80hp of fury it had I've decided I like moar power even at the cost of milage. And honestly the 4.0 is ok but I miss the power of my previous V8 Toyotas.

 

Being towed behind a Ford..




GO

 

And people are always complaining the 3.5 is slow, bet she held sixth gear too.

 

No hitch on my Ford although she is pretty snappy for an old girl.

 

70% of all Fords are still on the road today.....



The other 30% actually made it home

 

All the way down here too. Not much for snow but just light flakes that aren't sticking.

 

My original Ford heater hoses made it 55 years without a failure, nobody ever changed them because you need to take the passenger fender off to do it...

 

About those 22R engines; thinking back about another friend that owned a 1985 Xtra cab 4x4 and I'm fairly certain it was a 22RE like the other friend's 1986, they both drove their trucks very differently and after a couple of years that 1985 didn't like to wind up like the 1986. I wonder if it had to do with driving one like it was stolen and the other a little old lady going to church on Sunday. ??
