Dealer serviced up until last year or so. Mechanical and electrical in working order,
a couple of minor issues that need addressing (Driver mirror,rear window washer, front windshield)

Great shape for it's age, well maintained.

Interior great, no rips or tears, carpet good, brand new set of collector's carpet, winter rubber mats
Includes a brand new portable CB that I never used, wheeling stuff (ropes, hooks etc), the factory front and rear lights, and the running boards, shocks and springs.

It's a nice, good looking mix of daily driver and capable off-roader.


There are some surface rust spots on the bottom of the rear window caused by a leaking rear window sprayer.  It is one of the items that needs addressing.  It needs a new one attached, pump motor and spray still work.

The driver mirror had the common shaking problem then the back piece of plastic snapped.  I have a small piece of foam holding it place.  All electrical adjustment still works.  I have a brand new replacement mirror that is black but does not fold in.

The front window should be replaced.  It has a couple rock chips and one crack running almost the full length at the bottom.

Those are the only issues with this truck.  All mechanical and electrical issues and maintenance have been serviced by Toyota immediately. gauges, lights, windows, seats, air, heat, remote locks/alarm, wipers etc all operate as should. 

I have kept all the maintenance records since I purchased it. The head gasket has not been replaced, and I have never had a check engine light. I recently (Feb) had the rear brakes done, and the transfer case and differential fluids done, also a new locker switch as the old one was not properly attached.  I 'exercised' the lockers monthly since purchasing the vehicle in 2006 from the second owner (66,00miles).  I carefully wheeled the vehicle 5 or 6 times per year with various land cruiser groups.  I have not been off road in over a year.

I have always the service performed according to the service manual.  I have put in a new starter, new batteries, repacked bearings, fluids, bushings, fluid flushes for the power steering, differentials, transfer cases, propeller shaft joints, etc all as required, through Toyota dealers. My bills (other than oil changes) range from $400 to $1400 or more, I handled what needed to be handled at the time it needed to happen. This vehicle has been sitting and there are no leaks underneath.

Like most people with these trucks, I never intended to sell this vehicle, and I will be sad to see it go.  It has been my daily driver and my escape for many years.  I truly pampered it, while using it for what it was built for...safe, slow, and challenging wheeling.  Life changes and I have to move on.

NO guarantees/warranties expressed or implied

***Note***I have  a clean, clear title for this vehicle.  I imported it to Canada for several years, then back into the US where I currently live and work.

Ever wonder how to really pronounce Japanese automaker names?

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

People tend to get very set in their ways when it comes to the pronunciation of words. Just look at the endless debates over whether or not to say the final 'e' in Porsche (which you should in terms of correct German enunciation). Or the argument about whether to follow the British convention and give the 'u' in Jaguar a special delivery or to say the 'ua' diphthong as more of a 'w' sound, as usually happens in the US.
This short video doesn't answer either of those automotive questions, but it does allow a native Japanese speaker to demonstrate the accepted pronunciations for several, major automakers from the country. One benefit is that it clears up the occasional debate over whether Nissan should be said with a long or short 'i' sound. Also, listen closely to how the female host says Mazda as Matsuda, the way it's actually said in the language. Even if this doesn't change the way you enunciate these brands, at least now you know the accurate way in Japanese.

GT Academy returns, and why Gran Turismo 6 demands a pedal/wheel setup

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

The 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.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
