After 10 years of ownership, I’ve spent a good amount of time repairing just about everything on this truck from the frame, to replacing engine, body & paint work, and all kinds of mechanical stuff. It’s about time I do a full review and show you all the details of the 1985 Toyota Pickup (or Hilux if you’re outside North America.)
