My New To Me 1986 Toyota SR5 4x4

Damn I love it

I can get pics when I'm home Mon. I have component 4" in stock location with tweets on A post. 6” mids in front part of door cards and two 10" shallow mount subs loaded in enclosures behind the bench seat. It's a reg cab so you have even more room. All three amps are under the bench seat.

Very cool. Id love to see that, especially the component speakers. I was so close to buying some of those and chickened out.

That looks niiiiice. I was going to get a toyota truck, but got my eta instead

I'm not sure what the embed code on this forum is, but you should watch these top gear segments where they try everything they can think of to kill one of those trucks, and they fail.

Honda Civic seats are a nice replacement for your worn Toyota bench seat.

Friend had one, kickass truck. 85 I think with a 22re. Rear driveshaft came apart so he drove it in FWD for a while, lol. Thing was so easy to work on.

Haha, yeah. They worked pretty well in my friend's truck. Way better than what was in there.

The SR5 came with folding bucket/sport seats. Mine are worn out. Just got some sweet Baja blanket seat covers for them lol
When I bought the truck they had these red and black "tuner" racing seat covers that were HORRIBLE! In the garbage they went

the first thing I thought when I saw the truck was "back to the future!!" then you had a pic of a Delorean.. that can't have been a coincidence

love thost trucks! I have a '90 and I love it.....I like the boxier earlier moldels better but mine was an SR-5 with side graffics and I couldn't be happier. Hang onto it.

Buddy has an 85, they are freaking tanks. We drove his from Arizona when he moved back to Michigan, through the rockies. That was one hell of a trip, but the truck never skipped a beat.

Just re-watched the Top Gear episodes with the red Toyota truck that they tried till kill unsuccessfully. So much fun.
Ill update in a bit with some pictures. Should be fun.
I need to look at the brakes as there is some vibration during braking, and fix my drivers side window regulator as well.
On top of that I need to pick up and install my Catuned coil overs in my e30, and I just bought a Euro plate filler for it from a R3V member. Stoked. Its been a good car Christmas hahaha

Got my Alpine head unit installed today. It was a bit of a bitch because the ground wire was white/black instead of brown, and the acc wire was constant while the constant wire was powerless. So I ended up using the acc wire as a constant and running a new acc wire from the ignition to the radio. So it all worked out.
This thing has Bluetooth wireless calling and music playing which works really well and was soooo easy to set up. It also has really good sound quality during calls even in my kind of loud cab. Im happy with it.
How ever I need much better, bigger speakers. These tiny 4" two ways will not cut it. I see components in my future.


I also stopped by CAtuned in Sacramento to pick up the coil overs I ordered for my e30. I got to see Max's lifted Izuzu Trooper. The thing is a beast.
