I bought the cruiser in November of 2013 and have loved every minute of it. We have taken it on vacations throughout Oregon and Washington. We have pulled our camping trailer around with it. I ran it everyday in the last snowstorm we had in the area (yes I had to work while everyone else played). It has been a great truck for us and we will miss it. This was also my daily driver so it is no stranger to being used daily.

We intended on keeping it but my wife decided she wanted a vehicle that had a third row for taking other peoples kids around town. So the cruiser is the vehicle that gets to find a new home. 

Alright here is the breakdown of good/bad/ugly/etc...

I have taken it in for regular maintenance (oil changes and such). I have had the AC converted to a newer refrigerant. I put in a stereo with bluetooth (I drive a lot and once you get used to that type of system its hard to get away from it). I also replaced the stock antenna with a whip antenna that has a plug for a cb on it. The new antenna fits right into the old antenna whole so it actually looks like it belongs there. This means you can attach a cb and not have to add an additional antenna to the rig. I replaced the gas struts in the back (would not even hold the window open when I got it). I also redid the water lines in the back window (washer fluid) because they had cracked and were leaking fluid all over the inside of the back window door. 

The prior owner put a second battery into the back (fairly common addition if you intend to use it as an expedition rig/camping rig). He was also responsible for adding the second set of lights on the roof rack. 

Other than that the rig is stock as far as I can tell. The interior is clean compared with what I have seen of other rigs in the price range and it was by far the best under 10k when I bought it. The engine runs great and I have never had issues with power or starting. 

There are a few quirks of these rigs related to the fuel and temp gauges. Every so often you will find the fuel and temp gauges spike all the way to the red (temp) and all the way full on the fuel. It freaked me out the first time and I almost towed the vehicle but quickly realized that there wasn't really a temp issue. It is an electrical issue within the gauge. If you are truly interested there are blog posts out there about fixing/changing the gauges to make it less annoying. Overall the fuel gauge shows full when full. then runs down to empty by the time you run through about half the tank.

The transmission has a tendency to drop into reverse hard on occasion. I am not sure why this happens but wanted to give full disclosure on anything I noticed wrong with the truck. 

Rust. This truck has a very clean exterior (not perfect by any stretch of the imagination). It does have a crunched spot on the rear passenger side. You can clearly see it in the photos. There is almost zero rust on the exterior and very little underneath the truck. 

The rack, jack and lights all stay. I also have a Hi-Lift recovery bag with a bunch of fun toys inside (it stays with the rig)

I have a clean title in hand. I will not ship the car and I don't even care if you mom really needs a land cruiser. I only accept cash. I won't take a check or anything similar. 

I hope it goes to a good home; someone that can take it out and play often.

Meet the Most Elegant Automobile, and it's for sale

Sat, 08 Jun 2013

Alright, so maybe "most elegant" is a bit of a stretch, but we feel safe in calling the 1992 Toyota Paseo in the video below an "automobile." High praise, we know. Still, it's clear someone loves the awkward little coupe enough to produce a hilarious video to sell the thing. Henry Floyd worked up a quick parody of the over-the-top luxury car ads we all know and loathe, and while the finished product is a little skimpy on details like price or location, it certainly doesn't hold back on the exposition.
Hell, if we didn't already have a parade of horrible ideas floating around our collective driveways, we might even be convinced to give this little heap a new home. You can check out the ad for yourself below, just don't be surprised if you find yourself with a burning desire to own a Paseo.

Toyota to start production of hydrogen vehicles in December

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell vehicle will be in showrooms sooner than planned, the Japan Times reporting that production will commence in mid-December with the sedan following "by the end of this year." No reason was given for the new timeline; Toyota has been saying all along that we'd see it in 2015.
The company is said to be "considering" production volume of "dozens of... vehicles per month" at a "likely" price of eight million yen, which is $78,030 US. That is well in line with the numbers thrown around last year, when the target was somewhere between $50,000 and $100,000. Then late last year, during our first drive of the FCHV mule, we wrote that "the official quote... [is] that a price of 'less than 10 million yen is ideal.'"
That alleged $78K is a sizable sum to be one of the early adopters on the hydrogen fuel cell wagon train, but with things moving around so much - and with Toyota publicly citing hydrogen fuel cells as the future - there's plenty of reason to be cautious about that number.

Toyota Sienna Swagger Wagon rides again with Busta Rhymes

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

Let's face it: there are few things less "gangsta" than a minivan (which goes a long way towards explaining why crossovers have been gradually taking their place as the family-hauler of choice across America, but we digress). The point here is not lost on Toyota, which has embraced the uncool image of the minivan with the Swagger Wagon campaign.
We first saw the suburban-goes-urban campaign pop up with the introduction of the new Sienna back in 2010. And now that the Sienna's been updated for 2015, the campaign is back again, featuring none other than Trevor Tahiem Smith, Jr. himself... better known to most as Busta Rhymes. The decidedly white-bread video spot that follows may make you cringe, but you've got to admit that it's well done, even if it doesn't have the charm and freshness of the original.
