No doubt!! too bad you can’t get simple trucks like this anymore.. Toyota doesn’t offer manual windows on ANY new vehicles they sell.. NOT ONE!!

This guy complains about everything that was the standard in 1995. Should be lucky everything still works.

Hell yea I own a 2003 Nissan frontier xe and it tuns like a dream

I drive a nissan frontier s for work everyday. None of these are issues, and only adds to the allure of the vehicle.

@@kevinly4695 hell yea man make it cool and run forever

Same with a 44 year old car lol it’s my first car too

Just bought a 53 year old truck lol

What car is it

@@milkshake3365 C3 Corvette

Respect. Mine is a 23 years old Toyota prado 90 series and still rolling. I feel young 🙂

thinking about buying one with 130k for $5k any thoughts?

@@pegasus5763 if it's 2wd, I'd pass personally. I don't see much reason for getting a 2wd truck unless you're hauling stuff, and even the 4x4 3.4l is a little underpowered. I couldn't imagine hauling stuff with the 2wd. There is however a market for 2wd trucks, and for that I would suggest going onto Toyotanation.com or yotatech.com and asking in the t100 threads because I do not know much about it (forums will become your new best friend). First, make sure title is clean If it's 4wd, check to make sure everything seems to be working alright, no fluids leaking, sounds good, minimal rust (especially on frame/drivetrain) etc. My specific truck had been sitting in a field for about a year before I bought it, so there was a fair amount of rust, but the frame itself was in decent shape. I do a lot of snow driving and a little off-roading so I had to replace some of the 4wd components on mine and I replaced about all of the steering components. I still need to replace all the brakes and brake lines. Biggest thing to know is that whatever you buy it for, you will need to invest a lot more time and money into repair and maintenance, so hopefully you have budgeted accordingly. If you don't do your own work on the truck, just assume with parts and labor at a shop, you may easily double cost in less than 5 years. A set of decent 4x4 wheels were about $1000 including mounting and balancing at a shop. It will feel like every time you fix something, a new problem shows up, which can be frustrating, but also incredibly rewarding when you get to drive it. These trucks are nearly 30 years old, and as they age, every component gets closer to failure. That's just part of owning classic trucks though, and you need to be honest with yourself about whether you can handle the time and money it will require to own the truck. Insurance will also undervalue the truck, so if something happens and there is damage, insurance may try to total it over the most insignificant damage and will not properly compensate you for what you have into the truck or what the truck is worth. Again, just part of owning a near-classic truck. If you have any friends or family members that are into cars, see if they'd be willing to work on things with you as they arise (I was lucky, my brother-in-law was a former Toyota mechanic who still works on cars a lot so I can message him whenever I have questions). To reiterate what I stated earlier, forums will become your best friend and have saved me many times. I would also look into finding a copy of the repair manual immediately if you do get the truck. This may be a lot of information to throw at you, but I think it's also my responsibility if I give advice to be honest about what you're likely to face. Last thing I want is for you to get the truck and then be unprepared when something breaks and then you're out 5,000 with a truck that doesn't work. I love my truck and it has been through a lot with me and helped me out in numerous situations, but there's been a lot of struggles to get there and there will be a lot more to come. It has taught me a lot about myself and how I deal with things and ways I can improve, and you have to have an open mind going into it.

@@stephen_cs Hey man thanks for the response. Gave me a lot of info I didn’t really consider. This will be my first car, as i’m only 16 and getting my license soon. $5k is up there on my budget but I’ll still have some left over yet, not enough for a bunch of repairs. The truck i’m looking at is 4wd and has a decent amount of rust, and has been fluid coated but i’m sure it has some problems. AC doesn’t work, bed is dented. The truck is in pretty rough shape. I’m just thinking I might pass on this truck because of things like excessive maintenance like you said, as it’s a 25 year old truck. As of right now, I just don’t have the funds to keep feeding into a truck like this. I love them, and I love the look, but when I’m older i’ll get one hopefully. Again, thanks for the response, I appreciate it!

@@pegasus5763 I completely understand, my t-100 was just my second car and as much as I love it, I wouldn't recommend it for a first time buyer, hopefully you find a great, dependable ride and get yourself a T down the road 👌🏻

@@stephen_cs dude i have the 95 2wd and haul with it all of the time. Almost always have the bed full. May have needed 4x4 only once now and i got good tires just incase there is lots of snow. Have driven up unpaved roads in 4-5 in of snow in 2wd nicely. Have hauled up to 1,100 lbs in the bed little to squatting with KYB shocks. Have had some leaks under the hood but truck keeps going and i put my money into it from time to time no biggie. Just added on custom exhaust with a magnaflow muffler recently. Will drive it while longer and then get suspension parts one day, i want a little lift too. Truck is a solid work truck no rust really except the old muffler that was replaced.

The T100 is a fantastic size. I hate trucks now days... just freaking bulk/fat and flimsy.

To add on to your comment, when they stopped making T100s in 98 (I have a 98 T100) they were actually inches away from being a full-size pickup so it was compared with Chevy 2500, Dodge Ram

They absolutely don’t make em like that anymore.. Your lucky to have a 1994 with a manual.. keep it forever! 👍🏼

Keep it you will regret it when your doing repairs on your new car years later

Let me know if you want to sell.

I got one you can buy, but its beat to shit, the AC has a leak in the line, and it has 320k miles... however, it fuckin RUNS

right on👍🏼

Wow really Bryan, I have searched for the right 4x4 Toyota for years because back in the day grandpa had 2 new Toyota pickups. If I had to guess I’d say one was 1980 the other 84ish both bough new I loved them. Well last year I found my 1990 rust free Toyota 4x4 single cab and it’s my winter daily. I absolutely love it. I coat it all up with woolwax before the salt hits the road.

Thanks!👍🏼

you better try toyota pickup (not the T100), since those used the very popular 22RE engine.

@@chacholiades 22re is a legendary engine but so is the 5vz 3.4 in the T100 they're also amazing

What you do to it?

I know.. its a great smell.. 👍🏼

Z24 Nissan hardbody engine is even better that ka24 in my opinion. Z24 to me compites with 22RE Toyota engine güey !

Hey bro, what sort of suspension components did u pick for your lift? Thanks

Those 2.7 standard cabs are awesome.. 👍🏼

T100’s are definitely in a class of there own.. red and black sounds like a nice combo, maybe you’ll get another one some day..👍🏼

It’s hard to keep on top of everything but you definitely have got to get back to your T100 when you have a chance.. what does it need??

Just started having a fuel injector start leaking but shouldn’t be too difficult to fix. Other than a good interior cleaning it just needs some drive time. I rebuilt the engine about 10 years ago then had a gremlin sideline the project until now. Just got it running again this past spring. The exhaust is decent but wouldn’t mind upgrading. AC needs a little work too. Found a hole in one of the lines.

I love the 2 tone green scheme.. 👍🏼

That’s awesome to hear.. and with only 107K miles.. Sounds like a Keeper for life!! Let me know if he sells it to You! 👍🏼

I sold it and bought a ‘97.. check out the videos! The black T100 from the video went on to another owner.. im always selling and changing things up, can’t help myself.. Thanks for the sub, extremely appreciated!! 👍🏼

Do you like my hair?

@@asensibleyoungman2978 drop your pants

Good to hear! 👍🏼

Nice to hear from another daily T100 driver.. dude, mirror adjustment is no joke, 2 person job for sure 🤣

My 96 t100 has electric windows and mirrors, I am lucky, it’s also a 5 speed

@@daire2655 how many miles

Darek Bowman It is a white color extended cab 4x4 , I just passed 280k, I’ve had it for a little over a year

I also notice all kinda of small things in the background of videos.. That’s awesome you have a 5speed, there pretty bulletproof..

I have an 02 tundra and mines got 260,000 still runs great. Definitely a testament to Toyota

300k only i 25 years, was it owned by a grandma

@@yodesuyo when you live in a city. You don't really drive that much miles. A real city that is.

I have 506k miles on mine, it’s a 94. With the 5 speed aswell

You must have an SR5 with all the power options and ABS.. very nice! I love T100’s!!

@@toyotafanatics1 It isn't an SR5 so has the bench seats not the bucket seats and console. I think it was a middle level model. It has a two tone paint job, but I like it even though I prefer solid like yours.

I like hearing this.. 👍🏼

Were super close on milage! it hadn’t crossed my mind to lubricate the tailgate linkage, i’m definitely doing that tomorrow.. And i’ll do the passenger door lock also.. great idea 👍🏼

I ordered the kit of ebay that has every single keyed component. Now everything will lock and unlock like new, and ignition key too.

370K... awesome 👍🏼

Is that a 6cyl?

That’s awesome you kept your dads regular cab tacoma, i really like the 98’s.. i almost bought one brand new, went and test drove it in 98, it was just too expensive at the time.. then i bought a 2004 brand new and drove it for years.. it was a 4 cylinder, i loved that truck! i totally agree, it’s hard to daily drive em, but my commute is super short or else i’d probably pass.. the trucks look better than they perform, but there just so darn reliable! it sucks we have to park them outside, i cannot tell you how bad i want a garage.. anyways, i hope you keep it a long time, it’s super nice to have a truck around every now and then.. plus, clean ones are super hard to come by, if you sell, you’ll probably never be able to replace it!! 👍🏼

@@toyotafanatics1 I'm Daily Driving a 2000 Tundra Limited 2WD, real smooth. Wanted a Taco but being 6', felt very claustrophobic.

Haha, funny cuz i just about NEVER wash my t100, i have never vacummed it either not once. Bed is almost full always and goes to the landfill everyweek

Absolutely..👍🏼

I really like the 2.7! I drove one for years, one of the best engines ever made imho.. and with only 68K, that’s like brand new.. 👍🏼

How many miles does your Dodge Ram have?

@@jaymoar3561 hanging steady at 175,000

@@jacobbenns6090 2nd gen Rams are cool

I said a few years old in the video, but your correct, the 99-06 GM’s are the culprits of the bad tailgate handles! I can’t believe no one makes a metal replacement..

I have 1997 T - 100 too, 325 thousand run great. Power on ever thing 4x4 automatic locking hubs, OD. I have had it 18 yrs now and spent less than 1500 dollars on it. Everything is original except for radiator alternator starter one injector and two front axles.

Nice!

That PB blaster is some good stuff, that’s what i’m gonna use.. 👍🏼

PB is 💪🏻

That’s awesome you got so many good miles out of your 96 T100.. good to hear your keeping the truck around.. 👍🏼

Very sweet truck mine is repainted flat grey! I also have a 2002 tundra 4.7 v8 4x4 black suicide doors alittle easier for groceries and carseat lol 😆. I do have my eye on a 2nd gen or 3rd gen tundra much more macho styling!

Right on, sounds like you have a couple cool trucks.. i love the simplicity of the T100.. almost daily i walk out to drive the tundra, but end up taking the T.. although today it was really hot here, and although the AC works fine in the T100, the tundras AC is like a freezer..👍🏼

I’m always hearing about rust issues.. i need to appreciate where i live.. we don’t have ANY rust on anything.. you couldn’t get a vehicle to rust here even if you tried.. so that’s one upside to California, but there’s some downsides too..

Very true!! 👍🏼

Definitely a good move.. 👍🏼

Awesome 👍🏼

donuts is the snow.. good times.. 👍🏼
