More people need to do this! I road trip my 1999 Land Rover discovery and it’s actually very comfortable and reliable.

Now that’s adventure!!! So calm and collected…. I’d be all stressed out …. Great job gents

I was looking forward to this video all week. Despite everything, I'm sure the trip itself was extremely special. She was down and out in the desert and made it to the hill country from South Texas. Someone looking at it in the desert then would have never believed it. Can't wait to see it back and stronger.

Thanks for always supporting bro! A true miracle🥹

Can't wait to see Tunacan back on the road!!

That truck is worth rebuilding completely. I would order a long block & let them put the head on with torq specs. and for warranty reasons.

BEST truck ever.wish I still had mine .18r petrol

Such a sick find and build to be. Cant Wait!!!!

The attitude was perfect- Keep smiling guys!

I loved it! I can’t wait for the video of Tuna Can! Thanks

Good job gentlemen. I did enjoy seeing my same age Toyota doing that far. It's a successful journey. Never say die. Love from Africa

love to see another one with the repairs on it

Love the passion and attitude of your group....kickass!! Timmy C Arizona

I vote 3.4!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

i love how every person loves you guys on the road lol

I don’t understand English very much but I just enjoyed seeing you guys driving hilux

I admire your tenacity, with tunacan. Reminds me of our trip in a Daewoo Espero which was overheating and did the same thing pulling and waiting for it to cool down and then proceeding. luckily we made just into the town, Katima Mulilo and the car died for good.

Can’t wait for tuna can’s comeback! Greetings from EP Tx

I like how you immediately disregarded his warning to use your blinker when you pulled back onto the road lol

Good job 👍🏽

Awesome vid

I feel bad for the guy who actually got your ticket 😂 that dudes definitely got a warrant for his arrest.

Love the vid.

Don’t sell it, tuna-can must survive 🤘🏼

I’ve got a hilux single cab 93 with a engine conversion, we fitted a Ford Windsor V8 engine and we converted the transmission (a340 hilux automatic) from automatic to manual automatic! You guys should try to do the same, would be fun to see! Can’t wait for new videos

The truck rolling as you hop out to get something real quick at about 21 mins, i know it all too well in my 87 4runner hahaha. Putting my wooden ebrake takes too long sometimes haha

You guys are bad ass. I have a white 2005 Tacoma. Their great trucks

I Subscribed as soon as you mentioned you guys were from Edinburgh, Tx! #956 That Yota is Tough! Saludos from Pharr

Tuna can just wants to die but you guys dont let 😂😂 keep on driving her… this reminded me of the samurai adventure from Carrizo springs to 956 that was a slow 60mph trip but fun and funny as hell with my old man 😂😂

so jelous of you guys. Great video and great adventure.

Awesome, great ingenuity!! Reminds me of good times in my 84 dolphin, so did you end up fixing it?

I remember I took a Datsun 620 on 2 cylinders and 35's from Boise Idaho to a town just north of Baker Oregon. Took about 7 hours

It's not a pile of junk. It has potential. Remember that

Excellent video and I'm glad y'all made it back home. I was behind you leaving Oxford Ranch and thinking to myself "Dang that little truck runs pretty good" Could not tell you had engine troubles at all. Hopefully you have it running soon. PS: that was my Landcruiser in front of you at the light in Fredericksburg at 24:58 PSS : Please consider leading an overland trip to Mexico ( or include me next time you go :)

Dude put another 22r in the truck. Dont fool with all the adapting youll have to go thru with trans and driveshafts and all of that. 22r is a good motor. Get reputable work done and use factory gaskets. Youll retain the value of the truck as time goes on much better and it will keep the spirit of the truck true.

Good video

Intake manifold gasket is common for loosing coolant on these.

I know it's obvious but, that must have another good running, descent condition and tested properly 22R Engine to retain it's original form. Rebuild it properly with good parts and reliable shops. Good show bro, heads up!

Knowing these trucks, their overheating issues most likely started with a bad water pump or a cracked/warped head. The water pump was the issue in my 1980. Luckily it didn't cause any other issues.

I have a chevy 350 in Brownsville with I believe is a 3 speed transmission supposedly the engine was slightly modified it has not been turn on in several years , if you guys are interested in it.

try some steel seal for that head gasket stuff works great

Been waiting for a long video on this truck. Found you on IG, love the backstory. Please make more vlogs. We’re invested with you on tuna can!

This video had me all stressed out 😂

I've owned a 1997 hilux for 25yrs it won't die. I found a 1983 hilux r18 petrol has been sitting in an old barn for 20yrs I'm going to buy it. The condition of the hilux is beutifull.

Motor Mart on Old 83. Ash Ave and N 11th St in Mcallen. I've taken heads and blocks there to resurface and they machine them down instead of putting them on a grinding wheel

I know the guy with blue shirt and glasses with his son (he is my neighbor in mission), great video guys, i have 4 -4runner

was a good video new subscriber here

Unless you're going diesel, I would swap it with a Toyota engine. LC Engineering makes new 22r and 22re engines.

put a 3.0 radiator in it, gut the thermostat if you not in cold weather have a extra water pump and blue devil pour n go with you!

What size tires and rims do you have on tuna can?

OK machine shop. El paso, they do all my personal and shop work.

Where can I get one of those walkie talkie holders?

You can still find good machine shops in mexico.

I just drove my 83 toyota 4x4 18 hrs one way only stopping for gas , then back home another 18hrs!

Keep it Toyota. Try get a 5L Diesel 3.0L (2,985 cc) . With regular service they last 350-500k easily.

Don't know who has more heart Jacob or Tunacan?

Hermosa toyota

Probably still more reliable than a new American made

its 20r engine or 22?

My suggestion is put a new 22re into it i have a 1990 one with one of those motor it never dies

"Another Mexican"😂😂😂😂

definitely a cummins R2.4 but please dont put a pos chevy

How do you have that tablet mounted? Id like to hard mount one in my 80s yota.

You blew the head gasket by driving it overheating. Thats not the machine shops fault. The cooling system does not overheat just because the catch can was not good. Also using a soda can is not a replacement catch can. as u saw later it flew out. Use radiator fluid it has a higher boiling points its not just antifreeze and does play a role in heat environments. Hope tunacan survives.

Sell it to me lol

Bruh get a new mechanic, went on a trip with no coolant overflow tank was your biggest mistake. It takes 5 minutes to makeshift one

Another Mexican … 😂

Lolll why are you lying😅? 42 years old? Not possible! That means its a 1958 toyota Hilux! 😢l🤣😂🙂😏😒🙄😮‍💨😪🤤😥😢😰😭😭😭😭😭

"The faster I go, the less it over heats." No sh@t Sherlock, that's because you're forcing more cold air through the radiator genius. You are a prime example of why anyone with a camera shouldn't make a video about things they know nothing about.

You need a better microphone, the sound sucks big time , we can barely understand you. A collar Bluetooth ear piece for the worst.
