This 1981 Toyota SR5 4×4 Pickup is powered by a 2.4L 22R inline-4 paired with a 5-speed manual. The red exterior is a color change from the original white, completed as part of a body refurbishment by a prior Idaho owner. 2016 mechanical work included machining the cylinder head, a carb rebuild, and install of new distributor, fuel pump, and catalytic convertor. Last serviced in March 2017 with an oil/filter change and brake fluid top-off, the truck has been driven about 800 miles during the seller’s 18-month ownership. This third generation Hilux is offered at no reserve, with recent service records, and a clean Utah title in the seller’s name.

This Toyota was last featured on BaT in October 2015 at 133k miles, and has covered ~1,000 miles since. The seller notes there is surface corrosion on the after-market roll bar and spot lights. The bar-mounted lights are functional, but not currently connected. The front bumper is an after-market piece, and both side marker and turn signal lamp assemblies have been replaced.

Thought to have been sold new in Arizona, this 4×4 and rides on after-market 15″ chromed steel wheels. Raised white letter Bridgestone Dueler APT tires passed a recent inspection but have some dry rot due to age, and the seller recommends replacement before driving any significant distance.

The cabin features power steering, an original three-spoke tilt steering wheel, and recently recharged A/C which is working correctly. A below-dash pod houses auxiliary voltage and oil pressure gauges. The tan interior is missing its dome light assembly, sliding rear window latch buckle, dash dimmer knob, and cigarette lighter, as shown in gallery photos. The plastic surround for the passenger side dash vent is also chipped. 34k miles are shown but true mileage is unknown.

This carbureted 2,367cc SOHC 22R engine features a dual row timing chain, and was rated at 97hp when new. Under hood work completed in 2016 included:

Cylinder head machined

Carburetor rebuilt

Timing adjusted

Exhaust manifold bolt heads replaced

New exhaust valves

Emission hose routing corrected

Vacuum lines repaired

New distributor, fuel pump, and horn

Washer fluid reservoir and lines replaced

Engine coolant reservoir/expansion tank bracket fabricated

A series of under body photos are included in the gallery, and show a catalytic converter replaced in 2016. The seller reports occasional exhaust squeaks, and a bit of oil leakage if the truck sits for an extended time. Recent receipts are included, but service records prior to the seller’s ownership are unavailable.
