-Front axle serviced: new Marlin Crawler inner axle seals, new wheel seal, new hub gaskets.
-New Toyota OEM spider joints
-New t-case front and rear output shaft seals
-New OEM rear driveline U-joint

-New OEM oil pan and gasket

Here's what's needed soon:
-Nothing for a daily driver. I've been driving it almost daily with no problems.
-Spare tire size is 28". I'd pick up a used full size in case it's needed.
-Jack and spare tools kit needs some missing parts replaced to be ready for a flat tire.
-Horn doesn't work. Needs new horn pin/brush in steering wheel, and this is an easy install. The actual horns and wiring are fine (I tested them).
-Windshield washer system does not work in front (it works in rear). I haven't had time to diagnose, but I believe just needs wiring checked. Headlight washers need hoses.

Other things you should know:
-There is minor surface rust underneath paint on some parts of hood and small section on tailgate.
-Coolant temp gauge hasn't moved much, but thermostat works fine. I've seen another FJ60 with same, I think it's a gauge or sending unit issue.
-Carpet and interior is well used but original.
-Engine bay hood insulation is torn in the middle, but still in good condition. Can probably be secured to the hood in torn areas. Plenty of folks run without a hood liner without trouble.

-There are some tears in the dashboard and seats (underneath the seat covers)

-I can provide specific photos on request. Let me know what you want to see more of!

Any additional questions? Let me know!

I am driving, so mileage may vary. Will list locally, so seller reserves right to cancel auction.

2013 Toyota Camry Hybrid

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

Giving Vanilla A Good Name
"Vanilla." Taken in modern context, that's not a compliment, but it should be. Vanilla actually has exotic origins, and as spices go, only saffron is more costly. Despite the realities, calling something "vanilla" is not whistling in admiration. The Toyota Camry has been called "vanilla" countless times since its debut, but both the car and the bean have something up their sleeves.
Scoff all you want, but vanilla is the most popular ice cream flavor, and there is no mainstream sedan that outsells the Camry. Apparently, vanilla has an underlying tinge of filthy lucre. We didn't feel rich, exactly, wheeling around in the Camry Hybrid, but we came away impressed, nonetheless.

2014 Toyota Tundra Platinum 4x4

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

The Toyota Tundra is the automotive version of off-brand Cheerios: it doesn't dominate the market, and it's not the first model people think of when they hear the term "pickup truck."
Ford, General Motors and Ram dominate the segment with vehicles that offer ridiculous levels of towing and payload capacities and models loaded with luxury items and primed with tech-rich engines. The off-brands, meanwhile, are led by the Tundra, which while still accounting for six-figure sales (112,732 units in 2013, up from 101,621 in 2012), sits well behind the F-150s and Silverados of the world. After our first drive of the revamped 2014 Tundra, we came away thinking this truck is a total underachiever, aimed at placating Toyota loyalists and doing little to win over new customers.
But everybody deserves a second chance, and we thought a week's drive in a different environment might lead to a different - or at least a more fully realized - opinion. While the Tundra might not be an industry leader, it still makes it on many truck buyers' shopping lists. So, should you consider this off-brand pickup truck? To find out, we borrowed a top-of-the-line Tundra Platinum for a week. Read on to see what we found.

Toyota passes BMW as most valuable car brand

Tue, 21 May 2013

An annual market study of the strongest brands across various industries has seen Toyota leapfrog BMW as the world's most valuable automotive brand. Toyota's 2013 brand value rose to $24.5 billion, up 12 percent versus 2012 numbers according to market research company Millward Brown's BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands list. BMW's value fell slightly; down by 2 percent to a total of $24 billion.
Mercedes-Benz finished in third place in the automotive category, up 11 percent from 2012 for a valuation of $18 billion. Honda ($12.4 billion, down 2 percent) and Nissan ($10.2 billion, up 3 percent) rounded out the top five for the category. Volkswagen was the only other auto brand that finished in the top 100 overall, in 100th place. Audi made the greatest percentage gain over 2012, up 18 percent to $5.5 billion, but finished outside of the top 100.
Technology companies dominated the overall list, with Apple, Google and IBM ranking one through three. Couture brand Prada was 2013's biggest gainer, rising by 63 percent over 2012.
