Toyota Pickup 22re house cleaning
Hey guys this is my first post as a Toyota Owner. I picked up this beauty, a black 1991 Toyota Pickup 22RE 5-speed 4x4 with 155,000 miles on it rust free!!!! But anyways, I just wanted to know any specific house cleaning maintenance items I need to be doing beside the obvious (oil, filters, grease chassis). The timing chain has been done shortly before I bought it and the valves aren't making any noise. Thanks for your help any input is appreciated.

I found it in Knoxville, TN I love in southern Indiana so it was like a four hour drive to pick it up, but well worth it. I just got tags and insurance today but I have been driving it a ton and I gotta say I love my first Yota!!!

Mine sat for the last 6 yrs then new plugs, wires, distributor cap, changed all belts and hoses, carb rebuild, changed oil and filters and it runs better now than it did when I stopped driving it in 2003!
Next on the list either regearing or removing all the rust and getting it repainted.

As far as house cleaning goes, you need to dump that ride.
Actually, you need to smack the guy that sold it too you. That thing is sweet. My bro had a '93 that he paid $13,000 for new. Have no idea why he ever sold it and he's been kicking himself ever since.
good find!

Well I have been doing the routine adjustments, i had the idle surging problem when the brakes were applied turns out my A/C idle bypass was set a little high now she purrs like a kitten. I changed the oil I figure with 155K on it I'd step up to 10w30. Not messing with the engine coolant as it's brand new. I got some 3m undercoating and coated the underside of my rocker panels and wheel wells as well as the underside of the bed for the winter. I have an adapter for my brake pressure bleeder on the way to get some fresh DOT 3 in the brake system as well as the clutch lines. I went down to the Toyota dealer and put in an order:
-new o2 Sensor
-new spark plug set
-new spark plug wires and coil wire
-new cap and rotor kit
A trip to auto zone yielded me a new fuel filter for way less then what Toyota quoted me in case anyone's interested. I called summit racing for some Red-line MT-90 synthetic gear oil (GL4) for the transfer case and transmission and 75w90 synthetic gear oil (GL5) for my front and rear diffs. I think this about covers all the basic stuff. Any additional input would be appreciated. Until next time.

I got all my parts in this weekend and I plan on finishing up everything hopefully by Sunday. When I had the tires rotated and balanced I noticed I need rotors and pads badly so Im guessing I also need wheel bearings too. Oh the joys of Yota ownership.
