I remember putting 100 down on a new 1985 (red) yota, but there was an auto hauler truck strike, waited 4 ever, wife finally made me get my deposit back, Dang.
Than the 88 you see, oh well.

I would say get some wider 8" wide rims with a little more back spacing and toss the 33's on it The white rims really make that truck stand out, and everyone does black rims.

85yota are those the stock rims. Nice rig Gus. And is that paint or bedliner on the lower portion of the body? I am to do mine in red just about like that.

Sure you don't want some black rims? I could sell you some......
And by the way, thats probably the cleanest 85' I've ever seen

nice rig man very clean. id say mod it as much as you want to make it what you want it to be, but it looks real nice right there. and stock isnt "gay" it all depends what you want to do with it.

nice ride

the lower quarters are roll on bedliner, i went that route because its alot easyer to fix when i rub a tree, vs. having to go and get it fixed. i just grind a lil off then coat over the area and its done. i think i paid 45$ instead of 300.

If that truck was in Canada you could ask for over $10 K right now, in 20 years I guess put that 10K in fornt of a mirror and that will be its worth if its not too molested. I would keep it as close to original as possible because it is capable as it it. I'm drooling over how clean it is, make it look like the back to the future truck ...
