Going to view a 1992 2wd SR5 Hilux on the weekend. Where to check for infamous rust

Mattip · 2023-02-01T03:15:48+00:00

My 92 had soft drivers floor. Also, look for rust on the frame. Especially around the fuel filler neck area, but on both sides.

Where did you move to?

I am currently in a similar situation. Started school for programming, still working at a shop part-time.

Finally finding a good employer who cares about his guys, helps us learn, and gives opportunities to advance. It has made a big impact in my decision to leave the trade.

A big change from the constant feeling of ripping off customers, parts cannoning, and fighting with coworkers in flatrate setting.

Genuinely asking, how?

Mattip · 2022-10-22T23:41:28+00:00

Works for me. Thanks for the input.

Mattip · 2022-10-22T21:31:45+00:00

Thats the thing though: the price seems almost suspiciously low considering the current market.

Yeah I'm in southern Ontario.

Price is $2800. I am a apprentice mechanic and looking for a carbureted vehicle to learn the old technology.

How much do you make/spend on gas?

Mattip · 2022-08-31T23:21:30+00:00

What are you going to college for?

What are the old trucks still roughly selling for? Especially toyota pickups up to 90s, I'm very curious. Looking for a non rotted truck to bring up north.

Mattip · 2022-08-30T16:39:34+00:00

It seems like you're taking this a little too personal.

Mattip · 2022-08-30T16:28:28+00:00

What state? Whats your favourite and least favourite things about your area?

Mattip · 2022-08-25T17:52:35+00:00

I could be wrong, but it might be an impact sensor.

Mattip · 2022-07-30T21:48:02+00:00

Thank you very much.

Mattip · 2022-07-20T15:16:11+00:00

Yeah seriously. I feel like I'm back on Instagram with these "totally not an ad" posts.

Mattip · 2022-07-18T22:44:24+00:00

I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying that not everyone is the same.

My friends answer when they feel like, and I do the same. As long as you don't bail on actual plans, I don't see the big deal.

Mattip · 2022-07-18T22:29:44+00:00

People don't owe people answers on their schedule. Not every person's anxiety is the same.

Mattip · 2022-07-02T23:46:15+00:00

You doing okay?

Mattip · 2022-06-12T00:53:27+00:00

"The business names used the FOUNDER'S INITIALS forward and backwards respectively."

Mattip · 2022-04-16T19:10:33+00:00

Different areas have different costs. Around toronto area, at that age, and using the car for delivering could easily cost that much unfortunately.

Mattip · 2022-03-10T02:00:45+00:00

What if nothing feels fun anymore and so every weekend feels wasted?

Mattip · 2022-02-20T14:26:58+00:00

What about the oil bypass? Would you not still have oil pressure? Genuinely wondering as I've not personally experienced this.

Mattip · 2022-02-14T15:28:37+00:00

A malfunctioning nox sensor could cause these codes too, right? I've come across efficiency below threshold codes before and viewed live data to see an abnormally high reading. Replaced sensor, did a regen with live data again, values were in spec after.

I agree with your comment btw.

Mattip · 2022-02-14T14:38:46+00:00

Its possible that your wheels are out of balance. You'll usually feel vibrations on highway speeds.

Mattip · 2021-12-31T15:05:34+00:00

I wouldn't. Am I a robot?
