Fantastic truck and you did a great job with it. I had its immediate predecessor with a 2BBL carb on it. It was frequently used to tow airplanes that weighed 9,000 to 26,000 lbs. Indestructible. Worked great for 10 yrs here and was sold to someone who used it for another 5yrs until it got totaled after hitting a deer one night. The stripes really make a nice fit with this one.

Thanks 👍

I've owned my hilux for 25yrs. Use it every day and still love it.

The stripes look great! Exactly what it needed and now it's as I remember them looking. Man, I miss my '93 Toyota, best truck I ever had.

Absolutely love it Josh! Takes me back to my teenage years! I never had to worry about people stealing my cars, because they were all 5 speeds. I even had a dead battery once, and was able to catch it in gear.

Never thought I could feel so sentimental watching a video about an old truck! My dad bought an '88 brand new when I was a kid, and gave it to me as my first vehicle when I got my license 10 years later. Still my favorite vehicle I've ever owned. Since he passed away 6 years ago it's been a dream of mine to find another '88 in good enough shape to work on and restore but didn't know if it was possible to find a decent one after all these years. This video makes me hopeful that maybe I'll find one eventually! My opinion, the decals look awesome! I love when a vintage vehicle looks as original as possible.

Awesome little pickup. Love these old trucks. The stickers definitely bring out a better look.

The stripes look amazing and complete the truck. One of the best trucks build back in the day and easy to maintain. 👍👍👍

HECK YEAH to the OEM-style vinyl graphics.

What an awesome find! Great job with the additions you just did! I LOVE IT!

You did a fantastic job and the stripes look great. I just changed a 2010 ford ranger from white to bright yellow and striped it in Tonka Vehicle stripes and decals. Your truck is amazing and your choice to bring it back to its period is right on.

Josh thanks so much for giving this truck the respect it deserves I’m so glad you found it instead of other you tube counter parts , the truck would of had a much different life

Wish I could find one of these. This was my very first truck that my mom bought me in 2004, fresh out of high school! Your videos are awesome, very fun and educational.

These were bullet proof compacts. Many ranchers on E New Mexico/ West Texas drove them. I owned a 92, I was a Toyota mechanic. I saw a few million miles trucks on the 22RE the OEM motor. So easy to work on and maintain.

Wow what a barn find! Really looks nice with the new parts and decals! Totally 80's vibe!

Yay! You're roll up doors are installed!

I worked every hour the sun was out the summer of 1992 before my senior year at VT to buy my SR5 V6. Best truck ever. Great find!

I got out of the business in 97. I simply can’t remember the V-6 in a compact. Probably old age 😂. It was a standard engine in the 4-Runner and T-100. The 4x4 compacts were designed to be abused and they were. 👍🏻

Two weeks ago i bought a 1997 2.7 toyota tacoma 4x4 with 20k on the odo. Pristine and flawless....had been sitting in a warehouse along with millions of $$ of other vehicles. Tires were 18 yrs old and new....replaced them immediately and started driving back to Arizona that night! Timmy C Arizona

truck was already beautiful to begin with. cant beat clean and simple. solid truck brotha man

Amazing! That truck is my favorite Toyota of all time!!! It’s my dream truck…the decals enhances the look…great job

I wish trucks like this were still made. They make me crazy. Decals are a must. Awesome truck.

The truck looks awesome.Great content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Darn fine truck all around. Scotty Kilmer must be doing his happy dance.

I had an "85" Marty McFly pickup. excellent truck. Only issue was rust. bed rusted off so I made it a flatbed. put 180k miles on it sold it because I just needed something better. Loved it!!

Looks great Josh, that's a very nice truck! I love that there's still a few low mile ones out there..

Turned out great! I have an 88 also ,that I need to give same makeover. Great job

My first new vehicle purchase was an 88 toyota just like that one except mine had a silver inverted check mark decal on the sides. I loved that truck

Yes the strips are awesome 💥💥 Fantastic improvement 👍👍👍

What a beaut! I agree with the 80s flare, looks so good on this

Looks great. All it needs now are new mud flaps and some of that back to black restore wipes for the plastic trim on the front bumper.

Looks Good. SEM trim paint dose wonders on your black bumper ends, black trim and front Toyota emblem background. I had an 87 4x4.

85 pounds!!!!! Good for you! It is soooo easy to put on weight.

Hugs from Brazil!

Wow! Love the stripe. This looks better than new!

I love the truck. I have an 87 I redid and will wind up redoing again after 15 years of use. I’d find the chrome tail light buckets for your truck. You can add most of the sr5 stuff. Clinometer, ac and power options.

Oh my word love the stripes you did an awesome job congratulations

I like the added touch of the decals. 😎👍

The Tacoma is a legend! Always wished the s10 would step up the game in the early 2000’s but they ended up going with square body gas hog i5.

If Honda made a mini truck now, man it would be badass. Especially with that 2.4L motor they put in most of their vehicles.

80s trucks always look better with the stickers

They look awesome

The stripes really set it off! 💕 And I definitely need one of those cup holders for my 88! 👍

Awesome video. Truck looks so sick!!!!!

I can tell you are having fun with this! Fun watchin you!

Really nice truck. Great find. I personally wouldn’t want the strips but it’s not mine. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for sharing

Love the stripes!

Fantastic ride Josh....great find.... watching from Ndola Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲

A buddy of mine had this exact truck new. His was red but it was a great truck. With the steel wheels, I like the decals.

Great job, Josh! I had a 91, same truck with the 22re engine. Amazing trucks. I don't know where you keep finding these awesome trucks!!!

That's a real time capsule. The stripes set it off. Great job.

Stickers for dang sure

Looks really nice Josh good job

Really Nice work Josh!!! That is too cool!!!

Looking very, very sharp Josh.

looking good josh that toyota what a survivor

Nice rig but it's not an SR5. It's a base w/chrome package for that year (or a Deluxe). If true OEM SR5, it would have full gauge cluster including tachometer. Bucket seats, leather shift knob & console plus velour door panels, not vinyl. Also those stock grey steel wheels are base for that year. You can make it an SR5, I would. It's got great potential. Edit: You do have an SR5 rear bumper, those bumpers are rare in that condition! Looks good.

Nice job. Looks like it’s brand new!

Awesome find. Love the stripes

SWEET SR5!

I’m jealous..Lol… Great Find, That truck is bulletproof!

Great job, I had a 82 and a 89. Both were 5 speed. I wish I still had them. Now I have an ARMY green 2021 TRD Off-road V-6 auto and I love it. Took me awhile to find the ARMY green, but it was worth it. Only thing is now I’m missing the 5 speed, but the 6 speed auto is cool. I like that you can sport shift it. I had mine dyna tuned and got 49 hp. Well worth it…

Looks good, love that vintage

Sweet back to the future truck!!! yes siir nice !!!

Interesting change up from the regular episodes. Neat little truck. Bet this little guy is going to get some use on the farm.

I usually like trucks clean no stickers or pin stripes but you can’t beat the look of a ole yota with the graphics pack

Nice old Toyota! I always wanted one of those in black like Marty McFly. Yes. Better with the decals. I like those Falken tires too. I have the Falken Wild Peaks on both my Wrangler and Ram 1500. Good tires. 👍

Totally finishes off the truck. Well worth the 7 hour time investment in my opinion. Great job Josh!

thanks! I agree buddy!

Great little truck.

You got the find of a century!

I was excited when you found that old red one in Virginia. The white truck is too nice to be a farm truck. Wish I could find one like that.

Beautiful truck. I use to own 1989 Toyota 4-Runner either 3.0 V6, they are great trucks. It was a great find and hopefully a great buy. Toyota trucks forever. 👍

Excellent bling Josh! I like it!!!

The strip’s look awesome Did a good job

Thank you for the video.

I bought a brand new 1985 Toyota SR5 4x4 extended cab in black with gray graphics and all available options at the time. That truck was beautiful and I could kick myself for not keeping it. It had the same 22RE EFI engine and those motors are bulletproof if you took care of them. I miss that truck…

Nice job Josh trucks looks great.

Nice job Josh looks great congrats

The stripes work!

Definitely with stripes!! You just added thousands $$ in value for $300.00....nice job as always Josh.

Sweet transformation

Sweet ride!

Very nice job looks better then my 2001 4Runner SR5

Great looking truck

Looks better with the graphics! Great job!

Josh huge congratulations on losing 85lbs, that is easier said than done!! Truck looks amazing. I hope to fix up my mini truck one day (2000 base model ranger 4cly no frills 5 speed with blown engine lol)

Like the truck makeover.

Stripes are definitely upgrade job well done.

That brings me back thanks

We’ve been a Toyota family for years. It all started with a used 79 Corolla wagon.

Great video Josh good looking truck

Like the stripes nice truck Josh thanks for sharing buddy 👍

If I had that truck I would paint that SR5 truck black and make it look like the Back to the Future truck.

Yup looks good!

Good job Josh!! Need to put some SRF accent decals on it.

Awesome truck! I own a '92 Toyota Pickup and it's the only vehicle I've ever owned. I still think these old Yota Pickups are some of the best designed pickups of all time. I've been doing a lot of work to mine including some major body work. Next will be paint, and I was weighing the same option. . . Do I try to redo the decals or leave it blank. And I'm starting to lean towards decals. It still looks good blank, but something about the decals just feels right on these trucks. I think I prefer your truck with the decals. Especially the tailgate, man that looks good.

Beautiful truck man!

Morning josh that pick up truck looks lovey for its age i no it has had a spray joba but it looks sweet it really does u got a good pick up truck.

Wow...nice find 👊

Looks great

Looks real good Josh
