A classic 1980 Toyota perfectly outfitted for off-road adventures

TOY REVIVAL

When Toyota hit North America with its first 4x4 pickup in 1979, the compact pickup caught the eye of four-wheelers nationwide who loved its clean lines, solid front axle, leaf springs, two-speed T-case, four- or five-speed manual transmission, and fuel-efficient 20R 2.2L four-cylinder engine. Those were the very attributes that caught the eye of Ryan Kennelly, who bought a four-speed '80 Toyota Pickup 4x4 sight unseen, modified it onsite for light trail duty, and then drove it cross-country 2,400 miles to his home near San Diego, California. As an added adventure, along the way Ryan hit several epic mountain and desert 4x4 trails with his "new" Toy. Later, he joined us on the epic 2020 Four Wheeler Overland Adventure in Arizona.

Ddecades ahead of the '20 four-door Bronco, and even preceding the Ford Explorer and Excursion, came an SUV that could have passed for OEM and was built to answer the call for a three-row people-haulin' off-roader.

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING

I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep? I really can't do both.
