Bought this truck about 5 years ago. its body was in rough shape but the engine was strong with low original miles. Bought a SECOND cruiser (body only) so that the shop painting it could chop all the rust and weld on pieces rather then bondo/fiberglass them. Had it painted in a custom gun metal gray with flake in it. Over the years I've put in close to 17k into restoring it. Truck looks great. Definitely not a "show" truck but still looks great. Runs strong and Ive done lots of service and maintenance to assure it. here is a list of some of the things Ive done to it though Im sure its not all of it:
- Professionally painted a gun metal grey with silver flake in it
- all new BLACK ROCKCRUSHER Rims 16X8 6X5.5 -20MM
- 4 new P265/70R-16 Kumho Road Venture (less then 3k miles on them)
- new clutch and clutch assembly (everything replaced new)
- all 4 shocks replacked with Rancho shocks
- all underbody painted with rust proofer/stopper
- entire exhaust replaced with brand new stock exhaust (this is probably the only thing I regret. To do it again I would have installed a performance exhaust to give it a little growl)
- new grill and painted black
- full tune up (filters, carb work, plugs etc)
- ac blows hard and constant (frion needs a re-fill but havent done it this summer as I have driven it minimally)
- new rear bumper from cruisernet.com
- new battery 4 months ago
- had professionally installed 2.5 inch HFS shackles to give it a little lift with going nuts
- oil changes meticulously at 3 months/3k miles (never gotten to 3k miles)
- brand new kenwood head unit with MP3 and IPOD/IPAD direct connect capabilities
- 4 new pioneer speakers (nothing crazy, but sound clear and pretty good)
- Brand new rear leaf springs. The old ones were completely done. These had to be custom made and installed by a shop that does suspension work for local police and firetrucks. The front one will need to be replaced sooner then later and I had planned on doing it but now that Im selling I just wanted to give the head up. The whole thing ran me about $650.
Anway, I am sure there are a bunch of other things ive done over the years that im forgetting. I am not a mechanic and other then checking the oil and waxing the car I have not done any of the work myself. I am selling it AS IS but have put a lot of money and time into this truck so I hope whomever gets it enjoys it. Wife is pregnant so toys have to go.

Toyota GT86 convertible could debut in March
Tue, 27 Nov 2012The dates are lining up, now we wait to see how the badges align. Just before the Toyota GT 86/Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ line-up was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show last year, there was a report that Subaru was considering a convertible while Toyota wouldn't even comment on it. That got swapped around when earlier this year the chief engineer on Toyota's side said a convertible was coming, and then a Scion FR-S droptop was confirmed for early 2014.
Autocar now reports that the Toyota GT 86 convertible will make its first appearance at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in March. In a car whose specs like weight, packaging, horsepower and center of gravity were all tightly controlled to get the most from the least, the changes necessitated by chopping the roof could make this a very different car. It's said to employ a fabric roof to keep a "small" weight gain check, and the suspension will be softened to work more harmoniously with the decreased body stiffness. And somewhere in all that the back seat and trunk space will need to take a hit.
In other news, Autocar says the hi-po GT 86 with some kind of capacitor system instead of batteries is being worked on for 2015.
YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
Watch a Toyota Highlander ram a house, twice
Mon, 15 Apr 2013Toyota has had plenty of problems in recent years due to claims of unintended acceleration, and now here's a video that actually catches such a claim on video. The driver of this 2010-2013 Toyota Highlander claims that the crossover's accelerator got stuck causing the vehicle to slam into the house twice, and resulting in damage to the Highlander, the house and two vehicles inside the garage. While we don't know when this accident took place, the video was uploaded to YouTube back in January.
It is impossible to determine what actually happened in this video, but what we do know is that a security camera captures the Highlander slowly pulling into the driveway before it lunges forward slamming into the garage. With the tires squealing and metal crunching, the driver then shifts between reverse and drive a couple times causing even more property damage before spinning out in the street and finally being able to shift into Park. Scroll down to see the video for yourself. Whether unintended acceleration or driver error, this was undoubtedly a harrowing ordeal.
