This is why I buy Toyotas and no longer buy modern American or European cars. I made the mistake of buying a BMW when I was in my 20's and never again. They lose value like the pieces of shit they are and after the warranty ends they need tens of thousands of dollars in repairs. Just garbage.
I did a lot of hunting/four wheeling back in the day and the best bush truck I ever had was a 1981 Toyota 4X4. It had the 22R engine which put out 96hp If I remember correctly. Slapped on some knobby tires and an 8000lbs Warn winch and away we went. Hauled a lot of game out of the bush with that little truck. Pulled out a lot of stuck full size trucks too. Some I had to chain my backend to a tree and use a snatch block on the winch line but we always did the job.
This is not my pic but my truck was identical to this one.
Hell yeah! Those are damn good trucks! My son been trying to buy his friend's father's truck like that for several years lol. Guy wont part with it, dont blame him.
We have some old trucks like that here too, some date back 50 years and it's worth getting them fixed and running
My cousin is a Farmer and he has a Willy's from the late 60's, fucker is sturdy as hell and cheap to maintain and fix
He says nothing else would stand the stuff he does for so long and not cost a fortune to keep running
I had a video of him coming down a very slippery slope on a 12 ft wide dirt road in his property, truck loaded with boxes of tomatoes, he steers the fucker down it like a pro, avoiding an embankment on one side. No traction control, just good ol' 4x4
