I am late to the party, but two things: 1) I have never identified more with anything you have said than "Between kids and work, I just don't have time for my stuff anymore." I felt that in my soul. 2) My first thought would be water in your gas line. But then it started and ran for a while. That would send me to the fuel filter or pump. Don't worry about the old gas; it would still run with old gas, just not well. Filters are so cheap, I would replace it anyway, and I can't imagine the pump is still very good. It is either bad or about to go bad, because that looks like the OG pump. Clean the carb regardless; that can only help.

According to Car Gurus, MSRP for an 81 Toyota 4x4 was between $8-9K. Plugging $8500 and 1981 into an inflation calculator comes up with a little over $26K in 2021 dollars. Assuming you don't uncover any major problems, you got a pretty good deal. Since it came from California, there's no need to keep any of the CA specific emissions control junk. You'll probably be happier with a 49 state OEM or an aftermarket carb. You should also check the evaporative emissions controls. If something is plugged up it could cause symptoms you're experiencing. As a reluctant CA resident I'd like to see that license plate destroyed in Demo Ranch video.

Awesome buy man. Recommend just changing all the fluids and filters and it will treat you right. Miss my old 78. I couldn’t kill that thing.

Yes Toyotas sometimes fix themselves. However, carburetors don't clean themselves. Do a fuel filter too. Clean the carb, pop a new battery in and it's going to be fine.

22R had 97 HP. Watch the timing chains. You might have an intermittent clog in the fuel pick-up. Putting fuel in can knock it loose, then as you run in will get sucked back in. Had an International at work that drove us crazy for a month, dying then starting up and running fine when we towed it back in. The mechanic had an idea, reached into the tank with a claw grabby thingy (that's technical jargon there, sorry), and pulled out a piece of blue shop paper towel about an inch square.

The fuel line in the tank needs to be able to pick up fuel. If there is a split in the line that allows air into the line, it would explain needing to keep the tank above a certain level. I'm not sure if that's the issue, but it is a possibility. I would guess it's more likely the pump, a clogged filter, or a carb rebuild. Good luck man. The truck is beautiful

My first truck was the square headlight 1982 version. 10 inches of lift on 38.5 inch TSL super swampers that were 16 inches wide.

Hi Matt, the two pipes up to the fuel pump are feed and return if they are crossed, it will only draw fuel from top of the tank, replace the pump and cross them over, your in the right place just looking the rong way 😉

Pressurize the tank and see if fuel flows. Always a quick first step when on the trail. Makes reverse diagnosis easier.

Matt the small bugs are Springtails! They’re decomposers and don’t do much harm to houses or people or anything

Those are springtails, since this happened during the construction of your home, it is possible that you have a moisture issue within your walls. This will eventually go away on its own in a few years through the process of heating and cooling the inside of your house; and those little springtails will likely go away on their own as well. Spray vinegar directly on the springtails, and take a rag, and spread the vinegar around infested areas. The high acidity content of vinegar can burn and kill springtails. Let this sit for some time. After using vinegar to help with the immediate issues, wash down the infested surfaces with detergent and water.

The front yard needs a fountain ⛲️ so those tiles would make a great bottom of that. Plus the kids can have a wishing well

Replace the fuel filter. If there is enough garbage in the fuel, over time it will collect in the filter and plug it up. After sitting for a while, the garbage will settle out and it will start and run until the fuel flow causes the garbage to plug the filter again. I've seen it many times.

You adopt cars like some people adopt pets. Fun to watch how you even can speak about their personalities. :)

Matt, fuel filter first (use a clear plastic inline one). Use a simple automotive test light to see if you are getting electricity/juice to that type of fuel pump when the key is in the run position. Trace and check your wires, electrical connections, electric relays (fuel pump?) and any resetting circuit breakers if it has any (you need both a Haynes and also a Chilton's repair and troubleshooting manual for that specific truck), order them new, you'll need them. Removing the fuel line into the carb to see if it squirts fuel pulses when you are cranking the engine over fast with two batteries with your thumb over the end of the line will tell you if the pump is working or not. I love those '81 Toyota long and short bed 4x4's with manual transmissions and 22R engines. ;)

That is why it was not running correct, and died. It went from smog filled air, to clean air. It did not know what to do. It was gasping for air. Once you let it sit over night, it was able to get its breath...

Springtails will thrive in any sewer line or septic tank system connected to the home. Once these areas get infested, its just a matter of time before they forage through the pipes and end up inside the home. You'll know this is happening when you start seeing springtails in the sink.

Hubby says fuel filter or pump, or trash in the tank. Adding fuel stirs it up and allows it to get fuel then when it gets below a point the trash settles and clogs the lines and causes it to die. And fuel injector cleaner after you clean everything up.

I would say you should have looked around more and on more then just "bring a trailer". I have seen some recent postings for an 81 Yota for as low as $4400. That aside congrats on the purchase. Great pickups. I too recommend what everyone else is saying, clean the carb, change the fuel filter, flush the lines, and check the fuel tank itself (may need to be cleaned also).

Welcome to the Toyota family. Good luck breaking the addiction. As for the 22R, fuel filter is my guess

im in love! that was my first truck. its the fuel filter. also drain the tank when you change the filter

I had a 1980 18R toyota 4x4. It was the best to work on. But always carry a spare fuel filter. Wash the fuel tank out and after market carbs jets will always clog up. Great on the sand at the beach...

I bought one when i was 20 years old right off the lot for 13500 dollars in 1988 and drove it for 18 years . Only had one problem with it. I had to change the master cylinder at 100 miles . Best truck I have every owned and I suer do miss it . Thanks Matt.

I have a feeling that "technical" is going to be pretty epic knowing some of the toys Matt has 😜

That thing is absolutely amazing! I have a soft spot for small trucks these days; theyre great in the city being car sized, but with a bed, and 4x4. Super great

If the bugs are hard, they're fleas. If soft, springtails. Springtails only eat dead stuff in dirt but with that amount i'd spray just to keep them off EVERYTHING

22Rs are beasts and I'd just clean all the lines out especially if its sat for a while. My buddy had one with dual transfer cases and he built it to be a rock climber and it'll go anywhere and climb anything. I'd say its either the fuel filter, pump, or carb needs cleaned. Can you hear the pump running? Could also be a relay or fuse or some sort of vacuum line.

You would think with all the old cars Matt's been buying, he would know to change the fuel filter right away. lol

Cast the painted tiles in clear epoxy, that way the broken tiles won't be a problem and you ensure their safety. Can even make a custom picture frame for it so it once again can be wall mounted

Springtails. I'd spray them, they can move into the home if not held at bay and just show up everywhere. Get em outside before they move inside.

You have no idea how jealous I am!! I love old Toyotas. I need it.

The bugs seem like a type of springtail , hard to tell on a video . Springtails are good for bioactive habitats for reptile or any other bioactive enclosure ... the eat and breakdown poop and whatnot .. They don't bother humans or bite.. or maybe its some new species of flea and matts gonna get devoured in his sleep ... either way , hope it helps XD

I owned that exact truck, even the same color, in the early 90's. Great truck. The 22R is an excellent engine.

@@atomicbogator6799 The 22R shares nothing with the 2.7 2TRFE. The TR engine family was an all new engine architecture that didn’t show up until 2004. Even the RZ engine family that was in use from 1989-2004 was distinct from the 22R/R engine family. The 2.7 TR is also notorious for needing to have the cylinder head reworked ( I.E. new valve guides and valve job) below 200K. Calling the R and TR the same engine family is like calling the small block Chevy and LS the same engine family. They share no DNA architecturally speaking...

The 22RE was the desired engine of that era! Both were reliable but the RE had more power!

Definitely rebuild the carb, the accelerator pump is probably bad which why you hit the gas at idle caused it to die. Carb could also be clogged causing it not to want to start. Also as many have said, replace the fuel filters, it can only help

Had that same issue! Do a carb rebuild, replace fuel pump, and fuel filter. If you don't want to rebuild the carb I would recommend a weber 32/36, for a little more performance an outlaw 38/38 is the way to go, they can be finicky but once you get it running and driving great they're extremely reliable!

They are actually just springtails, they almost certainly came in the mulch that just got laid and are looking for a new area as it starts to dry out. They are completely harmless and eat mold and rotting leaves

Dude, that was so Back to the Future when the truck stalled by the HQ. I think you (Matt) forgot to try one thing. You (Matt) should have tried head butting the horn button on the steering wheel. Then huffed it to 88 Miles Per Hour!!!!

Nice buy. One of the best trucks ever made. If your looking for the fuel filter it will either be in the engine bay on the passenger fender normally or under the box on top of the frame strapped to the forward most bed mount on the passenger side

I moved states one time, and got new plates at the DMV. I go to put the new plates on in the parking lot, since they told me to swap them right away. I go to swap the back plate, and see I need a flat head screwdriver. I have a flat head screwdriver in my car, so I swap the back plate. Then I go to do the front plate, and it's Philips screws. What??? Why would they be different? I *don't* have a Philips screwdriver in my car. The screw head is too big for the little Philips screwdriver I have on my Swiss army knife. So I can't switch the front plate. I end up driving all the way back home, two different plates, from two different states, on the front and back of my car. Never been so nervous driving in my life. I'm sure it wouldn't have been a big deal if a cop saw me, noticed the different plates, and pulled me over. I could've just explained it, and they probably would've let me go with just a warning since I was heading straight from the DMV to my home, but I was really worried about it the whole way.
