holy fuk!

whats the hitch's tongue weight max? you musta beefed u the tow system on that thing quite a bit. (please tell me its no the factory 200/2000.)

I'ma put my bike in my lil GMC 2.2 and pull a trailer with 2 bikes to T-Hill soon, but damn you got some balls put'n that third one there.

let us know hw this works out, I'm curious.

We haul this to Thill on July 31. The truck pull the trailer just find with no problem. We'll need to beef up the rear suspension next time. It was a last minute thing and it work out great.

nope, it is a 2.2L

its got the 22RE with about 150 thousand miles. runs like new but looks like the 15 year old suspension needs some help. oh, the truck also likes race gas... (post that pic. i don't know how)

WOW!!

 

[zefflyn]

Could it still steer with the front wheels in the air like that?

 

[bikeguy8]

does that thing have a working AC too? thats pretty cool!

 

[cleoent]

that's awesome! I dont know how safe that is, but an awesome accomplishment none the less.

I have a '94 toy very similar to yours but I think yours is a 92-93 year model. Also with the 22RE motor which is a 2.4 L The 22RE is only the model doesn't indicate litres.

I have a '90 toyota, looks just like your truck. 235,000 miles on the engine, still haulin ass.

If you're gona tow like that, i recommend you get a pair of stiffer rear springs. I upgraded to 15" rims with a 205 tire instead of the stock 195.

I always like to see another red yota

Going up in the tire size is a great improvement all around. I too went to the 205 LT tire.

For the rear suspension though, I added airbags since this truck spends more miles unloaded and I wanted to keep a comfy ride.

dont be surprised when ure rear tires blow out from all that extra weight... atleast jack em up to max pressure n hope.

Tires remarkably hold alot of weight. Id bet the rear axle would go before the tires ever blew. Unless (as you indicated) the tires are not properly inflated) Under inflated and the tire will pop a bead.


IMO Having used both the Pre-95 toyota hi-lux pickups and the 95+ Tacomas for construction (heavy payloads- read: overloading) and for towing. The new ones have NOTHING on the older generation trucks. The new ones have more power but its not as usable since the truck is not as rigid as the older models. This is not accounting for the latest Taco that are out. I haven't used that one yet.

I will never sell my '94 5spd!

Great shape for a 1990! Do you have A/C? My truck is the base of the base models, I've been thinking of adding the A/C unit, as I've been told its a straight forward easy install. I just want to know if it takes away alot of engine power.

yes it does have a/c. it gets the small cabin pretty cold and haven't needed to recharge it yet. you can feel the power lose when the a/c is turned on. but we did have the a/c on 90% of the time when we pulled the 4 bikes to t-hill. the only time it was turned off was going up hills and when it got too cold.
