I am flying down to Berkely tomorrow to start seearching for a new truck. My 1985 Toyota 1-ton died last week and there ain't much to pick from in Seattle in Toyota trucks. I am taking the opportunity to see my family and search for a newer truck where they are plentiful.
My dream truck is a '92 long bed deluxe, but they are pretty rare. The long beds were discontinued in '92, as were the 1-tons. But the in '91 and '92 you had to get a V-6 if you wanted the 1-ton, and Toyota v-6's suck.
I am planning on rebuilding the engine in the '85 myself, so I will end up with 2 trucks. I will convert my 1-ton into a flatbed, like I have wanted to for a while.
Anybody know about rebuilding 22REC engines? Supposedly the Rod Bearing died. All I know is it sounded brutal when it went.
I am 38 today. No big deal, but damnit I am taking back my birthday from the world this year. If they officially make it Patriot day I suppose it will be nice to have a federal holiday on my birthday.
