Dealer serviced up until last year or so. Mechanical and electrical in working order,
a couple of minor issues that need addressing (Driver mirror,rear window washer, front windshield)

Great shape for it's age, well maintained.

Interior great, no rips or tears, carpet good, brand new set of collector's carpet, winter rubber mats
Includes a brand new portable CB that I never used, wheeling stuff (ropes, hooks etc), the factory front and rear lights, and the running boards, shocks and springs.

It's a nice, good looking mix of daily driver and capable off-roader.


There are some surface rust spots on the bottom of the rear window caused by a leaking rear window sprayer.  It is one of the items that needs addressing.  It needs a new one attached, pump motor and spray still work.

The driver mirror had the common shaking problem then the back piece of plastic snapped.  I have a small piece of foam holding it place.  All electrical adjustment still works.  I have a brand new replacement mirror that is black but does not fold in.

The front window should be replaced.  It has a couple rock chips and one crack running almost the full length at the bottom.

Those are the only issues with this truck.  All mechanical and electrical issues and maintenance have been serviced by Toyota immediately. gauges, lights, windows, seats, air, heat, remote locks/alarm, wipers etc all operate as should. 

I have kept all the maintenance records since I purchased it. The head gasket has not been replaced, and I have never had a check engine light. I recently (Feb) had the rear brakes done, and the transfer case and differential fluids done, also a new locker switch as the old one was not properly attached.  I 'exercised' the lockers monthly since purchasing the vehicle in 2006 from the second owner (66,00miles).  I carefully wheeled the vehicle 5 or 6 times per year with various land cruiser groups.  I have not been off road in over a year.

I have always the service performed according to the service manual.  I have put in a new starter, new batteries, repacked bearings, fluids, bushings, fluid flushes for the power steering, differentials, transfer cases, propeller shaft joints, etc all as required, through Toyota dealers. My bills (other than oil changes) range from $400 to $1400 or more, I handled what needed to be handled at the time it needed to happen. This vehicle has been sitting and there are no leaks underneath.

Like most people with these trucks, I never intended to sell this vehicle, and I will be sad to see it go.  It has been my daily driver and my escape for many years.  I truly pampered it, while using it for what it was built for...safe, slow, and challenging wheeling.  Life changes and I have to move on.

NO guarantees/warranties expressed or implied

***Note***I have  a clean, clear title for this vehicle.  I imported it to Canada for several years, then back into the US where I currently live and work.

Toyota Pro/Celebrity race switching from Scion tC to FR-S [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Toyota has announced that the rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S will replace the front-wheel-drive Scion tC as the racecar used by actors, singers and celebrities of all grades in its annual Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race. It's the first time a rear-drive vehicle has been used for the event in 27 years, with the tC having been in use since 2005, and the FWD Celica before that. This year's race takes place on April 20th amidst the festivities of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach weekend.
The racing FR-S, which debuted today at the Chicago Auto Show, won't be left stock either, but rather outfitted with a range of official Toyota Racing Development parts and equipment, such as a stainless steel exhaust, new coil overs and springs, upgraded brakes, a bigger air intake and 18-inch wheels, not to mention all of the safety equipment required to keep the celebrities and pro drivers safe. The company says the performance mods have lifted horsepower to 210 from the standard car's 200. Check out the build process for the cars in the video below to see just how much work's been done.
The Toyota Pro/Celebrity race is also about more than just letting celebrities and pros do battle on a road course. The spectacle helps raise money for "Racing for Kids," a non-profit charity that supports children's hospitals in the US.

Toyota working on cars that hover above the roadway

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

Toyota is one of the largest automakers in the world, but it's not content simply building and selling conventional cars - it's been at the forefront of numerous advancements in ground transportation. It is widely credited with advancing the cause of hybrid propulsion, and alongside Audi and Google, is among the first automakers seriously testing self-driving cars. We could go on, but the news here is that Toyota is reportedly developing vehicles that hover above the road surface instead of rolling along it.
The news comes from Hiroyoshi Yoshiki, one of Toyota's tech gurus, who revealed at Bloomberg's Next Big Thing summer in San Francisco that the company is working on hovering cars - ones that travel just above the road surface, but don't actually fly in three-dimension space.
According to The Verge, a spin-off of our own sister-site Engadget, Yoshiki refused to elaborate on what the project entails and how far along it is. He was speaking along acting NHTSA chief David Friedman, who lauded such advancements as a "great taste of innovations to come," but stressed the significance of more concrete improvements to conventional automobiles - like inter-car communications to keep vehicles from colliding on the highway - as more relevant to today's industry.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
