Hi , This is my 1981 Toyota Hilux LN46 , it has a 2.2 Diesel Engine (Factory), my father bought it some 30 ish years ago and now he has passed it on to me. It needs some work but nothing too major little rust in the cab but chassis is still in mint condition. Im currently taking it all apart so i can work on it and bring it back to it's Glory.

My father told me that the clock has reset 4 times so far, and it currently has around 47k km's so its almost close to half a million with no engine problems.
At the moment things are going a bit slow since i am a student, but hopefully i can work in summer so i can invest more into it.

Good stuff! You're making your father proud.
If he's had it for 30 years, I'd be curious if you have any great memories in this red rig growing up.
Thanks for the pix.

 

I need to get photobucket... i've so many damn pics i cant upload.

 

First snow of the season, and the wife asks me why do I want to go out and drive....women just don't get it...lol

 

I get it. First thing I do when it snows....go out and play in the yotas.

 

Hey HILUX,where did ya get that front bumper? is that an addicted offroad without the stinger? how do ya like it? it looks nice!!

 

Thanks! It's similar to the addicted front bumper but just a custom bumper, rear and sliders are marlin crawler.

 

I was like huh? I wish I had that bumper...lol. That lil red truck is cool.
More pics? I need a 1st gen fix. Hope my grill for the trekker gets here soon.
Gimme something to do...that I can do.

 

woops..wasn't paying attention hehe.id like to see some different views of that also,front and back.

 

On the way to Walmart, an outing I just had to make in the snow.. A Cent you are totally right..

 

$750 new toy

 

all you guys with your nice beds...

 

Sweet!!!

 

Nice score!!...Does she run?....looks solid, original SR5 rims and all.....if that was out East would be more like $5K...

 

Recently rebuilt 22r. Runs great! No title though. Will possibly do a build up thread before selling it to fund for a 3.4 swap into a 2nd gen runner.

 

I know man! I'd even settle for one with gian rust holes! Imagine how I feel when I see someone bob one

 

Greetings from Sydney ,Australia. A survivor. 138k kilometers diesel ln46 double cab.

 

Love that 4dr. Ship it to me!!

 

BEAUTIFUL......I would kill for one of those cabs.. I'd cut my truck in half (to stretch ) in a heart beat.

 

Thanks guys. I had a plan to respray it in the terracotta red but thinking now i will do a closed door respray in its original white. I picked up some stripes from jamesdeancreations so will be interesting to see how it looks.
