Maybe that's why she said yes, high on the fumes.I was 20 and it was actually cooler than it sounds

Enjoy. I had an 88 for a while back in 2005 or so. The thing that finally made me get rid of it was it's inability to get out of it's own way (or anyone else's way) at highway speed. It was such a dog I had to down shift on some hills to maintain speed. Outside of that it was a fun little rig.
Could be a fun little project. Curious to watch the progress![]()

an 88 'Yota...Hmmm.
As much as I hate Toyotas, I bet that thing will go more miles than any truck on this forum. Toyotas from that era rusted out like tin cans, but will run forever.
and not even leak.![]()

Nah. Just gotta find some cheap tires on Craigslist. Not trying to dump any money into this thing just yet.

Oh yeah, thing is slow as BALLS. But it generally moves forward when asked to.

Hopefully it won't be a project just yet, I just want to drive the crap out of it this winter, and then reassess.

Yeah they're pretty sweet little trucks. I've always wanted an older Pickup, but this'll do.
'80s Toyota interiors are the best.
