Photoshoot day!

While far from perfect, at a couple angles I almost forget how many things are wrong, because I can still see so much that is right
May 12, 2023 While they may look cool, you better believe those are secretly the most square tires on earth May 12, 2023. Seriously, if I had tooth fillings I would've lost them driving home on those tires they chatter so badly. The rims are nice tho No license plate 4 u

I decided to tackle the gross intake, not knowing whatever glue was used to adhere the plate to the intake was stronger than concrete. It took longer to scrape off the old adhesive than it did to paint the lettering back onto the plate
April 19, 2023. The turbocharged 22R-TE intake manifolds have a slightly different design than naturally aspirated models, wherein a metal plate is glued onto the blank intake top that says TURBO EFI, rather than being stamped with the EFI badge regular trucks had. The result after 30 years is they fall right off April 20, 2023. With better adhesive and a couple hours of detail painting, the engine gained 10 more horsepower on the ol butt dyno

I've never had a neutral safety switch fail before, so thanks Toyota for making it incredibly easy to repair instead of forcing me to replace it (still working correct even now)
March 30, 2023. After cleaning it up this looks like a respectable vehicle component. Before cleaning it, you couldn't tell it wasn't a clump of dirt stuck to the side of the transmission

there was one nice looking part of this truck hiding under all the gunk after all. Bonus rear seat cleaning day as well
March 26, 2023. Sometime before my ownership this was resprayed a darker, flat gray with new (admittedly period correct) vinyl graphics put on. This paint job is horribly done, with overspray everywhere. That is, except the bed. This bed is as pristine as the day it rolled off the line and still retains the original metallic grey. It was at this point I knew there was an ounce of worth to saving this (currently non-running) hunk of junk. March 29, 2023. On your left, shart. on your right, a seat that probably won't give you lead poisoning or something. These seats were all pulled apart and cleaned up including the pull-tabs which had 35 years of grime in them for sure

whoever decided to use this turbocharged 4cylinder as a farm truck and fill it full of corn before my ownership had some mighty big balls and a mighty small brain
March 20, 2023. dude it's like a couple of corn kernels who cares Turbos: notoriously reliable when told to run at high rpm in low gears with no airflow to cool them and no intercooler to cool them either for long durations. Truly a perfect farm vehicle March 24, 2023. Oh no why is there more *under* the carpet Not pictured: corn in both rear quarter panels, corn under the rear seats, corn in my hair, corn in my clothes, corn in my nightmares, why is it all corn, why is it all corn

probably gained 1 horsepower with all the dirt that came out of this carpet
March 24, 2023. Before doing any vacuuming to the carpet March 24, 2023. the level of dirt in this carpet is so high it took an hour to clean this small square (and it still isn't perfect) At this point I knew cleaning the carpet would be much of my spare time for the next eon

previous owner complaint box ticket number 109: I hope you're happy with how long it took me to finish peeling off your 5 dollar window tint
March 20, 2023. Imagine it's 11pm. You're driving down the road in some backwoods town near the coast at 45F with 95% humidity and no A/C. You cannot see a thing. You wipe the window with a washcloth to clear off the condensation. Your view has gotten... worse? Oh my god is that half peeled dollar store tint adhesive swirling around the glass? You wake up, whew. it was all a dream, for some of you.

80's luxury grey on grey on grey on filth, very popular color for the time!
March 20, 2023. Missing hinge covers really adds to the luxury March 20, 2023. Missing under seat carpet really adds to the luxury. Also not sponsored by oral-b tho they make a mean detailing brush March 20, 2023. Missing driver's side foot panel really adds to the luxury! Noticing a pattern yet? Aside from all the *brown* that is

fuck it, 1987 Toyota 4Runner 22R-TE SR5/T post

If you owned this specific truck before I did, lemme know I'd love to hurt you as much as you hurt this poor baby. (and also learn more about it)
March 17, 2023. Day after it miraculously made it home under it's own power. 1987 Toyota 4Runner in (Not) factory grey, turbo model.
