this is a sweet truck i built it 2 years ago and am now moving and need to sell. yes this truck is has a 1986 mercedes benz om617 5 cylinder diesel engine in it. the conversion was done with a professionally made adapter plate. it has a 2-3 inch old man emue spring lift. a 3 inch body lift. goodyear kevlar wangler 33x12.5 in tires with less than 5000 miles on them. awesome tires and very low road noise. it has a fours speed manual tranmission the body was sandblasted and then rhyno linned everywhere on the exterior. there was some fender rust in the rear repaired before this was done. i want to be as honest as i can about the truck. i love this truck and drive it every day. its top speed is about 75. i drive it comfortably on the high way at 65. it gets about 15-18 mpg. it has straight pipe on it thats 3 inches. it not really loud but it is also not quiet. you can really hear the turbo spool. when driving on highway in hills it wont stay at 65 55 in third all day but not 65 in fourth. there is no frame rest except behind rear tires. its behind where the rear leaf springs attach. there is a few inches where you can see through the frame in the middle. i did not have this fixed because it is behind where the frame is doing anything.
please look at the pictures and feel free to call me with any questions. 574 453 1447 i am a huge mercedes diesel fan and have owned 25+ the motor that was installed is a a 1986 that had 160,000 miles in it when installed. it has excellent compression. it has monarch fuel injectors installed.
two sets of differentials this is the complete third member. right now i have a 4.11 in the rear and a 3.73 in the front. and no i dont ever use 4x4 this way. it is easy to swap rear back out to 3.73 which i do in winter. and for light offroading i have done in the truck. the 4.11 is better for on road driving in 2 high. you cant do whatever you want.
one last thing. if below 25 or so at night truck has a hard time starting. not because the glow plugs are bad but because the toyota starter doesnt have same torque as mercedes one. it does have a block heater and it will start in negative 10 as cold as it got here, without a problem. if this is a big issue you can install a mean green starter which will solve the problem.
also included in the auction if you want it. you do not have to take but you can if you want.
extra 1986 om617 complete motor for parts or whatever.
intercooler and piping for hook up
california style intake manifold which makes installing inter cooler easy. i have done same swap on a toyota truck. and inter cooler helped with power on highway.
extra top rear hatch frame. with window installed
box of extra lights for most on truck
extra front grill
and whatever i am forgetting
this is a no reserve auction

Santa swaps his sleigh for a Ferrari-powered Toyota
Fri, Dec 23 2016A Ferrari-powered Toyota 86 is sure to garner a bit of attention, as well it should. We've been paying attention throughout this build, so it should be no surprise then that Santa did as well. He's ditched his red sleigh for the Gumout GT4586 in this video. If you've been following along, you know that Ryan Tuerck and Gumout built this completely bonkers machine that's far more exciting than some previous Japanese/Italian mash-up automobiles. Donut Media has been doing their part to document and promote every stage of the process. This new video is filled with the gratuitous amounts of lights, noise, and tire smoke that Donut is known for. We don't know the conversion from horsepower to reindeerpower, but the GT4586 should provide plenty of oomph for Santa's Christmas trek.

Does Scion's LA concept presage a US Auris?
Tue, 28 Oct 2014When the doors open at the LA Auto Show in a few weeks, Scion will be on hand to showcase its new iM Concept. But considering what little Toyota's youthful brand has revealed about the concept so far, it's led to rampant speculation. And the prevailing wisdom seems to point towards a production iM arriving as a Scion-badged version of the Toyota Auris.
For those unfamiliar, the Auris is to European (and other) markets essentially what the Matrix is (was?) to ours: a hatchback version of the Corolla. The model line was first introduced in 2006, looking in its first iteration like an overgrown version of the contemporary second-gen Yaris, and was replaced with the current model in 2012. It's available as a five-door hatch or wagon, with a range of gasoline, diesel and hybrid powertrains available.
If the rumors - spurred by the similarity of the iM concept's nose depicted in the teasers - prove accurate, and public reception to the idea ends up spurring Toyota to put it into action, it wouldn't be the first overseas Toyota brought over as a Scion. The Scion iQ was sold as the Toyota iQ overseas years before it arrived here.
2.1 million vehicles recalled again over faulty airbags
Sat, Jan 31 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda and Toyota will recall 2.1 million vehicles to fix faulty airbag modules "after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles." These vehicles had all previously been recalled, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the airbags could still potentially malfunction. This recall will cover Acura MDX, Dodge Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Odyssey, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix and Toyota Avalon models made in the early 2000s. NHTSA has reportedly received about 40 reports of airbag deployment in such vehicles, even though the vehicle had not been involved in a crash. Roughly one million of these same vehicles, all from Honda and Toyota, are also subject to recalls due to faulty Takata airbag modules, though this particular recall is for "an electronic component manufactured by TRW" that is separate from the actual airbags from Takata. According to NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind: "This is unfortunately a complicated issue for consumers, who may have to return to their dealer more than once. But this is an urgent safety issue, and all consumers with vehicles covered by the previous recalls should have that remedy installed. Even though it's a temporary solution until the new remedy is available, they and their families will be safer if they take the time to learn if their vehicle is covered and follow their manufacturers' instructions. A hassle is much better than a family tragedy." If you're the owner of an affected car, expect to hear more from the official automaker and government channels in short order. In the meantime, we'd suggest getting your car checked and fixed at your local dealer. The official statement and recall information can be found below. Previously Recalled Vehicle Remedies Not Working as Designed; NHTSA Announces Follow up Recall of 2.12 Million Cars and SUVs Saturday, January 31, 2015 Contact: Gordon Trowbridge, 202-366-9550, Public.Affairs@dot.gov WASHINGTON – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced today the recall of more than 2.12 million Acura, Dodge, Jeep, Honda, Pontiac, and Toyota vehicles for a defect that may cause airbags to deploy inadvertently. The recalls will provide vehicle owners with a new remedy after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles.
