Wichita, Kansas, United States
|
280000 miles ...Just broke in...Good for 500000 plus. 267000 replaced timing belt and all other belts for the 4th time. Told every 90000 good but avg time between
replacement 70000. Replaced the water pump/radiator at this time. Changed spark pugs three times and coils once. Last time on the spark pugs was 257000 when replacing the valve cover gaskets. 270000 miles replace all U-joints on drive train. Transfer case U-joints were ok and greased. Replaced U-joints had Grease Points and were grease often. The new ones do not. A three day old jeep was pushed into the front by a in a hurry mustang while sitting at a stop sign. Would have drove away but a small pin hole in the radiator prevented it. Hood and grill lights have been replaced and custom bumper is ready for a winch and fog lights. Truck probably has 70000 more miles than average. Had 200 mile Sunday paper route. Average MPG 17 stop and go...20.5 Highway. Nearly new rubber and the front struts and rear shocks were replaced 250000 miles. Rides good on the highway/ hold steady on country road and pasture. Front calipers and disc replace, rears brakes and ABS brake actuator replaced between 180000 and 200000. Transmission was recently flushed with new fluid for the third time. Have been using good synthetic for the last 80000 plus . Rear bumper is good but tail gate has a very shallow push in dead center of the tag. Don't know where that came from. Had this truck since 2001. It had 56,000 miles on it. Serviced it regularly and replaced what ever broke. It is good truck now and can be a good truck for the right person. Retirement and one too many trucks causes me to sell it. I will need to see reference and an intention list from any new owner.(Just Kidding) It is for sale at a reasonable price. Tried to price it a fair range to Kelly Blue Book, $5500. Put a Craigs List topper on in..Wash it and a good detail it will look like an $8000 dollar vehicle. I will accept a fair OBO. |

2014 Toyota Highlander recalled over seatbelt anchors
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Toyota has announced a small recall of its redesigned, 2014 Highlander over issues with one of its seat belts. The affected vehicles, which were built from November 20, 2013 to January 18, 2014, could have a seatbelt assembly in the middle seat of the third row that wasn't properly secured to a floor anchorage at the factory.
In total, 7,067 of the new Highlanders are included in the recall, which was discovered not after a crash, but during a post-build inspection at the factory. It's unclear if there have been any injuries as a result of the faulty seat belts.
Toyota is set to inform owners of the affected vehicles as well as dealers with the recalled Highlander models in their inventory. Naturally, repairs will be performed free of charge. For the full bulletin form the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, scroll down.
GT Academy returns, and why Gran Turismo 6 demands a pedal/wheel setup
Fri, 18 Apr 2014The path to become a racing driver is a difficult one. It requires starting early, with karts, and then building up through the years and if you're really, really good (and really, really lucky), a team will notice you and sign you up. Or, you know, you could just become really good at Gran Turismo, and beat out other like-minded fanatics for a seat in the GT Academy.
The racing school, which culls its students from the ranks of Gran Turismo players has already pumped out successful racers, most notably, Lucas Ordoñez, who has a second and third-place finish under his belt at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With the 2014 GT Academy kicking off April 21 and running through June 16, you could have a chance to be the next Ordoñez.
That won't be easy, though. We recently had a playthrough on GT6 the proper way - with a racing seat, pedals and a steering wheel, complete with column-mounted paddles. (Our setup looked just like the one you see above, though that image is from E3.) In other words, it was as close to driving an actual car as most console games can get.
1967 Toyota 2000GT most expensive Asian car ever sold at $1.2M
Fri, 10 May 2013Toyota's agelessly beautiful 2000GT has been sold by RM Auctions for $1.16 million, making it the new record holder for the most expensive Asian car ever sold. As always, rarity played a big factory in driving up the price; just 351 2000GT models were built, and only 62 left-hand-drive cars (like this one). The classic Toyota, standout member of Texas car-collector Don Davies' paddock, was originally a US-delivery car that spent time in a collection back in a Japan before returning to Texas just a short time ago. The car last sold in March of 2011, for just $650,000.
Enthusiasts will recognize the 2000GT as perhaps the most heralded Japanese classic of all time. The Toyota was a contemporary of the Jaguar E-Type - though one that obviously sold in a fraction of the English car's numbers - that was well reviewed by the motoring press of the day. Sometimes referred to as Japan's first supercar, the 2000GT boasted a 150-horsepower, dual overhead cam, 2.0-liter straight-six engine; a five-speed manual transmission; and a reported top speed of over 135 miles per hour.
RM described this record-setting example as, "the finest and most authentic 2000GT to come to market in recent years," equating it with blue chip classic exotics like the Ferrari Daytona and Lamborghini Miura.
