Bought this truck about 5 years ago. its body was in rough shape but the engine was strong with low original miles. Bought a SECOND cruiser (body only) so that the shop painting it could chop all the rust and weld on pieces rather then bondo/fiberglass them. Had it painted in a custom gun metal gray with flake in it. Over the years I've put in close to 17k into restoring it. Truck looks great. Definitely not a "show" truck but still looks great. Runs strong and Ive done lots of service and maintenance to assure it. here is a list of some of the things Ive done to it though Im sure its not all of it:
- Professionally painted a gun metal grey with silver flake in it
- all new BLACK ROCKCRUSHER Rims 16X8 6X5.5 -20MM
- 4 new P265/70R-16 Kumho Road Venture (less then 3k miles on them)
- new clutch and clutch assembly (everything replaced new)
- all 4 shocks replacked with Rancho shocks
- all underbody painted with rust proofer/stopper
- entire exhaust replaced with brand new stock exhaust (this is probably the only thing I regret. To do it again I would have installed a performance exhaust to give it a little growl)
- new grill and painted black
- full tune up (filters, carb work, plugs etc)
- ac blows hard and constant (frion needs a re-fill but havent done it this summer as I have driven it minimally)
- new rear bumper from cruisernet.com
- new battery 4 months ago
- had professionally installed 2.5 inch HFS shackles to give it a little lift with going nuts
- oil changes meticulously at 3 months/3k miles (never gotten to 3k miles)
- brand new kenwood head unit with MP3 and IPOD/IPAD direct connect capabilities
- 4 new pioneer speakers (nothing crazy, but sound clear and pretty good)
- Brand new rear leaf springs. The old ones were completely done. These had to be custom made and installed by a shop that does suspension work for local police and firetrucks. The front one will need to be replaced sooner then later and I had planned on doing it but now that Im selling I just wanted to give the head up. The whole thing ran me about $650.
Anway, I am sure there are a bunch of other things ive done over the years that im forgetting. I am not a mechanic and other then checking the oil and waxing the car I have not done any of the work myself. I am selling it AS IS but have put a lot of money and time into this truck so I hope whomever gets it enjoys it. Wife is pregnant so toys have to go.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
Toyota's Lentz says fuel cells are the future, not EVs
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota is not bullish on EVs. That comes from the company's North American CEO, Jim Lentz, who said the company will focus not on electrification, but on continued hybridization with a long-term focus on hydrogen fuel cells.
Lentz questioned the long-range ability of EVs, saying that Toyota feels "there are better alternatives, such as hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and tomorrow with fuel cells." Lentz spoke about Toyota's focus on hydrogen following Forbes Brainstorm Green conference and barely a week after a battery deal between Tesla and Toyota ended, according to Automotive News.
That deal provided for 2,500 battery packs for the Rav4 EV. While valuable to Toyota, the deal "was never about open-ended volume," Lentz said. "It was time to either continue or stop. My personal feeling was that I would rather invest my dollars in fuel cell development than in another 2,500 EVs."
Toyota Sienna Swagger Wagon rides again with Busta Rhymes
Mon, 04 Aug 2014Let'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.
