This is the last year of the solid single axle. This vehicle is thought of by most as the height of the Toyota truck design. Super reliable and unstoppable. I went from a 2007 tacoma 4x4 to this and was amazed at how more i enjoyed this. The only reason i'm selling it is that i have a family of 4 and don't have much time to go off road or haul material any more.
It has a cracked rear tail light these are $19 at car quest. I purchased a new tailgate handle but haven't yet installed it. I currently have the tail gate inside "cover" unscrewed so i can manually open the gate. I just put a new alternator in about 3 weeks ago as well as put new coolant in. The alternator has a lifetime warranty.
The carb makes a whistle at idle but goes away when you give it gas. The noise goes away when you push lightly on the top of the carb so it's just one of the weber adapter seals. The seal kits are sold on ebay for under $20. I tried to tighten the 4 bolts a little and the noise isn't as loud. The bed has some holes near the tailgate where an old owner left a bag of cement over the winter. It's pretty minor, i was going to weld a little sheet metal in and rhino line the bed and it would look new but i haven't done it yet.
This is a great vehicle for someone who has the time to enjoy it, i wish i could hold onto it for when that day comes again. I changed the registration to antique because i was going to garage it and make it really pretty but my plans have changed. So if it's going to be your daily driver you need to get normal plates.
The suspension was lifted probably about 2 inches? I don't know exactly how high these were when stock but it looks very good and rides well. I was told by a mechanic friend that the lift was "done the right way". The previous owner was a semi truck driver who rebuilt cars in his free time. He had the engine ported, polished and honed. It probably has less than 3000 miles since then.
The tires are BFG and were new a few months before the engine was rebuilt so they look basically new. The wheels are nice alloys. Tire size is BFG KO 33x10.5 R15 High load, Mud and Snow rated. These are awesome tires and cost roughly $1000 from less schwab.
The locking hubs are the warn metal selectors.
Optional items you can also get if you want:
Aluminum diamond plate tool box locking with side pneumatic 'wing' doors $70
Stainless steel ladder rack $140
The weber carb gives it a lot of power. My new vehicle is a VW Vanagon and i really wish i had the Toyota engine and drive train in that vehicle.

2015 Toyota Camry
Mon, 22 Sep 2014Every car has its definitive year. Whether it be the Chevrolet Corvette, the Ford Mustang, or yes, even the ubiquitous Toyota Camry, 10.2 million of which have been sold since 1983, every car has its year. For the Camry, that year was 1992. With son-of-Lexus styling, a clear sense of purpose and a parent company that had hit its stride as the purveyor of faultlessly reliable family transportation devices, the Camry got its legs in 1992. It's a car that even your mom is likely to remember, even if she never owned one herself.
The Camry you see here represents the closest Toyota has come to emulating the magic formula that made the 1992 model the stuff of legends. Compared to the 2014 model, some 2000 of the car's 6,000 parts are new, most of them involving things you can see or touch (on the outside, for example, only the roof carries over from 2014).
It's not a full redesign, but nevertheless it's a stunning development considering the predecessor upon which it's based only survived two model years. That's a testament to both the hyper-competitive nature of the family sedan segment and the lukewarm critical response that the outgoing car garnered. But that's in the past now - after driving this 2015 model, we suspect the new car's changes will be thorough enough to continue pulling in new customers by the hundreds of thousands each year for the foreseeable future.
BMW-Toyota joint sports car project is on like Donkey Kong
Mon, 30 Dec 2013It's official - there will be a jointly developed sports car from BMW and Toyota. While the two auto giants signed a Memorandum of Understanding that pledged to pursue "joint development of architecture and components for a future sports vehicle" back in June of 2012, in the interim, it has remained unclear how those plans had been progressing. BMW has finally officially confirmed that the German and Japanese manufacturers will be codeveloping a pair of sports cars in addition to pursuing other disciplines including fuel cell systems and lightweight technologies.
"We have agreed on a joint architecture for a sports car. What is important is that there will be two different vehicles that are authentic to the two brands," BMW Development Chief Herbert Diess told Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Reuters is reporting. This is a very, very big step for both brands, but now the speculation can officially begin as to what the products of this agreement will look like.
There's ample reason to believe that the BMW-Toyota tie up will result in a Supra successor based on comments made by the chief engineer of the GT86/FR-S program, Tatsuya Tada, back in August. Follow that with a rumor from earlier this month that Toyota could debut a Supra concept car at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show later this month, and we could be seeing the fruits of this partnership sooner rather than later.
Camatte concept puts the Toy back in Toyota [w/videos]
Mon, 16 Jun 2014It's been two years since Toyota first revealed its Camatte show car at the Tokyo Toy Show. Though sadly never destined for production, Toyota brought the concept back the following year as the Camatte 57s roadster, and is now returning to the same show with yet another take on the kid-friendly, configurable 1+2 with interchangeable body panels - this time with a slew of features that are fresh not only to the concept itself, but to the industry altogether.
This year the Camatte is being showcased in two forms: a bare chassis in the Tech Lab that lets kids see the inner workings of a modern automobile, and another in the Design Lab that lets kids draw their own motif for the concept that is then displayed on an LED hood.
The overall approach reminds us of the way Toyota's budget brand Daihatsu unveiled the Kopen roadster concept at the Tokyo Motor Show late last year, only even more kid-focused and decidedly more light-hearted than you might otherwise expect from one of the largest industrial giants in the world, and could only have been made for a toy exposition. In Japan. Which would explain the ridiculously upbeat videos below, where you'll also find the brief press release.
