You are looking at a 1987 Toyota pickup, 4wd short bed, and probably the most original, low mileage truck left out there. Sorry, couldn't find a listing for these trucks, so I had to list it as a Tacoma. Below is a brief description.

Exterior: This truck mainly appears to be all original, right down to the paint. I can't see anywhere that it has had paint work or any kind of accident, shine is just gone on the top surfaces. Even has the original stripes on the sides. Front bumper is some kind of aftermarket with a Ramsey winch, has a matching camper top, and aluminum wheels, that's all I can see that is not factory. Have no idea if winch works, but it's all there. She has the typical rust in the driver's bedside where the lower panels meet up, and a small spot on the passenger's. Front fenders have holes above tires, I can buy these for $80 a piece c.a.p.a certified aftermarket if the new owner wants them and I also can get the lower side pieces even cheaper. Frame is solid in all the places they rot. Doors, rockers, cab corners, floors, pretty much everything else on the truck seems to be very dry, rust free, and not beat up or abused. Inside of the bed has a liner, pulling it up, seems like it's been in there since new. Floor is nice, just scratched from liner. Tailgate is in amazing shape, rear chrome bumper looks nice as well.

Interior: The gray insides are original also, and in super condition to be almost 30 years old. Headliner is not sagging and is clean. Seat is cloth and not worn or ripped at all. Door panels are not peeling up or trashed and still look new. Dash has some sun cracks, other than that,  it's good to go. Carpet needs a good cleaning. Very nice in my opinion.

Drivetrain: Everyone knows how popular these 4wd trucks have always been, especially with the 2200r engine and a 5 speed tranny. This one runs exactly like it should with only 87,000 original miles. When I got it, it had been sitting for years. I had it looked over by my local mechanic,  made sure all the 4wd stuff worked as it should, so all it needed that he could see was to be tuned up, put a brand new clutch in it, as well as a radiator. There is no drips or spots on my driveway from leaks, engine looks good and dry. Almost new Goodyear Wrangler 235/75/15 tires on aluminum wheels. Sorry guys, no a/c, but the heat is toasty. 

In closing, you will be hard pressed to find one of these trucks with this kind of mileage, for this reserve price, and in this condition. Attention: I HAVE NOT CLEANED A THING ON THIS TRUCK. I want the new owner to see it in it's original condition the way I recieved it. This way nothing is hidden or doctored up in an attempt to deceive bidders. Please check my feedback before bidding, I pride myself on describing my vehicles accurately and everyone always seems to be happy. With that said, don't assume anything, ask me any questions you may have about it and you'll get a truthful answer. I just, this week, paid the mechanic over $800 for all the work done to ensure no problems to the new owner. Also be advised, almost all my auctions end early with a serious offer, so don't wait until the end if you really want one of my vehicles. If you have a feedback score of 10 or less, or a negative score, please contact me before bidding or it will be canceled. These ads are expensive and I have had problems lately with non payers and slow payers. Thanks for your understanding and for taking a look at my auctions, don't hesitate to contact me with any concerns. Take care and good luck.

Toyota celebrates 30th anniversary of Land Cruiser 70 with Japan rerelease [w/videos]

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

It's a common refrain among auto enthusiasts to bemoan the current models being sold for being overly complex and expensive and to wish that automakers would just make vehicles like the old days. Sure, they might not have been as safe or efficient, but there was often a certain rugged simplicity that's gone today. Well, Toyota is actually doing it and thinks there's enough demand to put the Land Cruiser 70 back into production in Japan for its 30th anniversary. Sadly, it's only for one year.
The original Land Cruiser 70 served a long life in Japan from 1984 to 2004. Even today, the proven model remains in production in some regions abroad. People in its home country still love the vehicle though, and Toyota is brushing off the mothballs to give customers what they want. For the first time ever there, it's also offering the double-cab pickup version in addition to the traditional enclosed body. The company thinks that it can move about 200 of these classic trucks this year, which isn't too shabby for a vehicle that's three decades old.
Looking at the pictures above, these look like the same old Land Cruisers, but Toyota is updating them slightly to meet modern safety rules. The grille, hood and headlights are all tweaked, and they now come with airbags and anti-lock brakes. A 4.0-liter V6 is under the hood making 228 horsepower (170 kilowatts) and 266 lb-ft of torque (360 Newton-meters), and the only available gearbox is a five-speed manual. Part-time four-wheel drive is standard. If you're really afraid of getting stuck in the wilderness, locking front and rear differentials and a winch are available as options.

Five automakers now being investigated by NHTSA for airbag woes

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

It appears that Toyota's renotification to owners of recalled vehicles from last year is just the tip of the iceberg for what could potentially be a much larger industry-wide recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation investigation into roughly 1.1 million vehicles from Chrysler, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota and parts supplier Takata regarding faulty airbag inflators in several models.
NHTSA has received six reports - three directly, two from Takata and one from Toyota - of vehicles with ruptured airbag inflators from 2002-2006, which resulted in three injuries. So far, all six incidents have occurred in high humidity areas like Florida and Puerto Rico. According to Toyota's latest recall announcement, the inflators may have an improper propellant that could cause it to rupture in a crash and the bag to deploy abnormally.
This new investigation follows a previous recall from April 2013 of about 3.4 million vehicles worldwide for the airbag inflators from Takata. As Autoblog reported, Toyota jumpstarted the new situation when it found that the original list of serial numbers for the faulty part was incomplete and discovered more cars in need of replacement. Honda and Nissan told us that they were investigating whether further models would need called in again as well. Mazda told Autoblog: "Regarding the current Takata situation, we're working closely with NHTSA and investigating the situation, but nothing else to report at this time." Chrysler Group responded to us with the statement: "Chrysler Group engineers are conducting the appropriate analysis. The Company will cooperate fully with the National Highway Traffic Administration."

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
