Hey everyone, I have a 1993 lifted Toyota 4x4 5-speed 6-cylinder pickup truck that has been sitting in my driveway for five years now and I am looking to get it back in good reliable running shape. The truck needs a new engine and tires, aside from those two things what else should I expect to have to fix or get a look at in order to have it in the condition I would like it in? Any information would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Have a qualified technician look thru the whole system this will tell you what's needed to get it back on the road in running condition

Wow, that was fast. Thanks for the reply. I am also looking to see if anyone out there knows what is likely to have to be replaced on this vehicle. Thanks.

You can start with the fuel filter if the fuel pump is okay and change coolant and oil
