this is a great thread. I just bought and an 85 sr5, just got done doing a new head and head gasket, but this tread makes me realize I am just getting started. Nice trucks everyone

 

Awesome pic. There's nothing like a good wheeling/camping trip with your dog and maybe a friend or two.

 

Removed the Cage. I think it looks much better.

I am going to use the metal to make a new front bumper and rock sliders

 

Way better.

 

I agree. I don't like cages, inside or out. But dude you have a beautiful runner there, take care of her!

 

looking good man! same color as mine.

 

Just picked this up

 

Good looking Runner. Very well kept. Good find!

And yes, Chef will be all over this one...

"Nice wheels McFly. Next green light!"
J/K . I know it's not the Back to the Future truck, but it looks very similar.

 

Freedom Stalker 83, Nice clean runner, amazed chief hasn't said anything about it yet, Like the Tow sticker on the front bumper too!

 

went to smorr last weekend for some wheeling.

This is the 1985 Hilux diesel converted to an RV by my son and the guy he bought it from. He gutted it and rebuilt everything that moved. He stripped and painted it with marine grade epoxy paint. He used it in his climbing adventures and had planned to take it to South America for his geology work. He called it his "Truckasaurus." I now have it in his estate after his untimely death earlier this year. It is a beautiful rig for off road. I may have to sell it though through the estate.

 

That's a beautiful machine. Truly sorry to hear about the death of your Son, He did an amazing job.

 

Okay. That's possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen done to a Toyota pickup. Great job!

 

That conversion is amazing! Sorry to hear about your son but he did amazing work and I hope you are able to hang onto it!

Here's some videos of my '85 from Southington Offroad Park here in Ohio:
