Post a video of the 4runner!

Just bought a 95 SR5, trucks in excellent shape. Sat for a long time but it looks really good for an east coast truck. Even the paints still intact. My dad has a 1996 2WD and it has over 380,000 miles. Used and abused everyday for work and it just keeps on going.

That clutch pedal sound got me lol 😆

I just recently got a 1st gen Tacoma 95 & just great things to check & fix on my truck much appreciated

Dope channel dude, a lot of great ‘Yota content. 🤙🏾

Super dope channel, I am envious of your rust free trucks. My first Tacoma I bought snapped the frame in half but I still drive it. My second Tacoma I picked up from the only owner it ever had with 275k miles but the frame replaced a few years ago. I’m confident in any Toyota to go.

I used to have the exact same truck same color in high school. I had a 4inch suspension lift with a 2inch body lift. I ran 35 inch tires. I ended up putting 5:29 gears in and a limited slip. Ow ya you have to have the front skid plate as well. There was a ton of other things I did to it. I kick myself everyday for selling it. I will get the same exact truck again but I want to put the trd supercharger and have the motor completely built. I miss that truck so much!!!!

Awesome video, thank you! I'm considering a small truck to bring my e-moto bikes into the back country and I think a T100 might be in my future. I owned a 1987 Corolla for a long time and I still own my 2006 Scion xB so I'm familiar with Toyota quality.

I know this is a old video but what exhaust did you run on your t100? I am 5vzfe swapping my 95 4runner and would love that exhaust on it sounds incredible

I'd also add that when looking, it's worth it to pay a bit more to get a truck that doesn't have these things then try and save 1000$ thinking it doesn't look that bad. also it's worth it to get one that has the features you want, even if it's more money. I was looking at 4 or 5 trucks, and the only one that was rust free and had the options I wanted (sr5 trd) was 2k more then the others, but it payed itself off over the years as I never had to worry about rust or damage. I probably would have bought the truck even if it was 4k more (2010 dollars) because it lacked any of these problems, just a bit high on the mileage. but eingine was in great shape and it was loved, I could tell. Oh yeah, allot of folks take off the hood insulation instead of replacing it. I did it, it's one of those small things that doesn't impact much except some noise.

Love older yotas

you didnt mention the splash of oil under the box that is from the seal where there rear driveshaft goes those types of leaks usually only happen then the vehicle is being driven the seal leaks, driveshaft input then sprays everywhere sometimes people when selling there vehicle will wipe off the driveshaft but the spray tells the story of the possible seal or the input shaft or more then likely both having issues many people just replace the seal which stops the leak for a while but it comes back . also dont pull on opr push the driveshafts ifif you do this and it has p-lay then ther is a major issue its best to go to the point where they are connecting and twist on either side of the shafts joints to check for play plus make sure the driveshafts are aligned if not aligned would cause vibration and possible damage later on the driveshaft on your truck is aligned . I love the older vehicles you can get at and see so many things the newer ne have covers everywhere and to get at things you have to dismantle so much to get a look at it. as for things like the cluch peddle at the top if it is a hydraulic clutch then that is normal the old school clutches if the peddle releases at the top then there is an issue

There is a lot of bad stuff out there, but there is also a lot of really legitimate vehicles and cool people, just gotta take your time.. 👍🏼
