Description:

1981 Toyota Hilux Deluxe

1981 Toyota Hilux 4x4 Longbed Pickup. The pickup has the original 22R engine with a 5 speed transmission. Runs and drives as it should. Smooth clutch, braking and idle. Transmission shifts smooth into all 5gears and doesnt pop out of gear. 4x4 works well at all speeds. In the last year I've driven over 12,000ft mtn passes in 4wheel and thru snowstorms at 55mph in 4wheel drive with no issues. Manual locking hubs are easy to spin and lock as they should.
This pickup has the deluxe "SR5" package which includes Bucket Seats, lower forward Oil and Voltage Gauges,Upgraded Carpet, Upgraded Door Panels with Factory Speakers and Covers(stock speakers removed and new pioneer 6 1/2 dual speakers installed and new JVC stereo with bluetooth and aux iphone jack is mounted in the glove box. I didnt want to cut the dash), Sliding Rear Window, and White Spoke Wheels including the Spare. Also comes with the original Jack and jack handle and shop manual.
Yokohama Geolander ATS tires. 235/75R15. 60-50% life leftTopper is a unicover aluminum topper that is easily removed.
Truck is well used but not abused. Adult owned and always maintained but not babied like some Hiluxs that look like they never went offroad. Truck original color was cream white and has been repainted many years ago to a brighter white. The paint is faced, patina'd and wearing thin in some areas. The body has assorted dents and scratches, the biggest being a drivers door dent(no real paint damage and could be popped out easily) left front hood corner and top corner of the fender have a dent too. Grill and lower valance have some dents. The truck bed is white but looks like it was from another truck because there are old toyota decals that dont match the factory decals on the cab.This fun little rig has lived in a small Colorado mountain town for +30yrs. Mileage is 150K+ and I dont know how many times its turned over 100K. Truck has a dry colorado body and frame. Only rust is on the Middle of the bed sides - rusted because of poor bed design from toyota where water gets trapped in the metal welds between the bed side panels. Lower rockers and all side quarters are in great shape with no rust. 2 rust bubbles in lower rear area below tailgate on each corner, another area where water doesnt drain well.New battery this winter. Runs and drives like a champ, 5spd is great for highway speeds. Starts right up after 3 gas pedal pumps in 10 degree cold mornings. I just drove 5hrs from Crested Butte Colo (9,500ft) to Boulder Colo (5,500ft) with no issues.Only item that would need attention in the near future is a new muffler, the inlet flange on the muffler has a crack and leaks . All the exhaust pipes look good, just needs new muffler. Local muffler shop told me $160 for a new muffler.Clean Colorado title in my name.
Only selling because my old dog and my old girlfriend cant fit in the truck cab with me at the same time. Im definitely keepin my old dog and I guess I should keep my girlfriend, so the truck has gotta go to a new home.
