The time has come to let go of my reliable buddy.  My good friend.  My truck.  It has served me very well and taken me to many interesting places over the 150,000 miles we spent together.  Instead of telling you everything that's great about this truck (Google can tell you that), I will let you in on all that is wrong with it perhaps with a short narrative.  The truck has several dings and dents (All of which are pictured)  either caused mysteriously or by one of 3 minor accidents.  The front bumper was hit by one of the many fools on the road.  As I waited at a stop sign, the woman in front of me decided she was too far into the intersection and popped her boat of a car in reverse without ever looking behind her...and banged into me.  She hopped out of her boat and began apologizing profusely with her blonde hair and Russian accent.  Since the damage was cosmetic, I let it go.  The next accident happened one winter morning on my way to work.  I pulled out onto the road and as I put her into 4th I realized I was no longer gripping the pavement, but was sliding freely into oncoming traffic, spinning slowly.  I finally came to a stop in the opposite lane after spinning roughly 200 degrees.  Lucky for me, it was so early that there was no traffic in the opposite lane.  All was well...so I thought.  Unfortunately the car behind me hit the same ice patch and also began sliding freely until she came to a stop by knocking into my front driver side headlight.  It didn't stop there.  Many more cars kept piling on.  Ironically, I was the only driver not at fault.  Although there is a police record of this, I left my insurance company out of it.  The headlight was replaced but because of the dent below the lamp, it does not fit as snugly as it once did.  The final accident was all me.  I backed into a street sign while leaving a parking spot.  This left a nice semi-circle dent on the back passenger side corner of the truck.  There are other minor dings and dents but luckily for you, I have no explanation for them.  
Over the years some things stopped working.  The radio and cassette player stopped working long ago.  The windshield wiper fluid leaks.  This began shortly after having the fuel filter replaced.  My mechanic likely cracked the reservoir but it may be a loose seal.  The driver side door doesn't always want to open with the key.  One or more pins in the lock must be sticking.  I have loosened them and gotten the key to work but they eventually get stuck again.  Worst case scenarios...the lock will need to be replaced or you will get in the habit of opening the truck from the passenger side.  The check engine light has been on for about 6 years.  Once in a while it goes off.  It stayed off for a few weeks straight after having the catalytic converter replaced.  The emergency break light stays on too.  Even when the emergency break is off. And of course the windshield wiper fluid light is on.  I recently had the wheel bearings and ball joints replaced on the front passenger side.  It is logical to assume they will need to be replaced on the driver side eventually.  If that becomes the case, there will be plenty of warning.  For a few weeks prior to having them replaced, it felt as if the power steering had gone.  The seats have some staining and discoloration.  There is some glue markings on the tonneau cover in the pictures.  The cover is in great shape.  No rips or tears. I put the tape on the cover while visiting a friend in a high crime area in order to deter any potential theft.  I will have the glue cleaned off by the time the truck is picked up.  White paint spilled on the bed liner as can be seen in the photos.  Otherwise, the truck is in great shape.  It runs beautifully.  I am only passing it on because my brother gave me his Subaru...and I couldn't pass up all wheel drive.  Feel free to message me with any questions.  Should you be the happy future owner of my truck, payment must be made in full within a week of the auction's close.  
Thanks,
Keith

Toyota wants improved crash scores with midcycle facelifts

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

The performances of some Toyotas in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) regimen of crash tests leave something to be desired. Consider the small overlap frontal crash test: only six Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles have undergone the new test, yet all but one of them received a poor rating. Osama Nagata, CEO of Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America Inc., says midcycle vehicle updates are in the works to address the safety issues brought to light by the IIHS test, Automotive News reports. He confirmed that the RAV4 is getting safety updates following its crash test performance last month, but he didn't name any other models.
All three Toyotas that were tested - 2013 RAV4, 2012-2013 Prius V, 2012-2013 Camry - received poor ratings. The 2007-2012 Lexus ES 350 and 2006-2013 IS 250/350 also received poor ratings. The only other Toyota Motor Corp. vehicle to score better than poor is the 2014 Scion TC. It received an acceptable rating in the small overlap frontal crash test and is the only recent vehicle in Toyota's line-up to get the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating.
The small overlap front crash test measures the safety of a car when its front left corner is strikes an object during an accident, bypassing traditional crumple zones, which deform in a way to protect passengers. In 2009, automakers were alerted to the forthcoming addition of the test, which was first implemented last year, IIHS spokesman Russ Rader says. They responded with differing intensity, he says, pointing out that Subaru and Honda started incorporating design changes early on so their cars would perform well in the tests.

Toyota CamRally is vanilla spiced

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

We weren't quite sure it was possible, but NASCAR driver Parker Kligerman and the other folks behind this Toyota Dream Build Challenge vehicle (check out the other cars in the challenge) have made the Camry, a versatile but vanilla family sedan, into a performance car to be reckoned with. And by stripping it (literally) of its versatility and injecting some spice into it, this rally-spec Camry does indeed appeal to the enthusiast crowd.
The appeal starts with the CamRally's vintage Toyota racing colors of red, orange and yellow painted on a widened body. Those wide fender flares and rocker panels, paired with the revised front and rear fascias (and massive rear spoiler), lend the car an aggressive look without being tacky, and enhance the aerodynamics. But peel back the skin and you'll find plenty of performance upgrades to back up the looks.
While Toyota doesn't say how much horsepower it makes, the CamRally's V6 is turbocharged, and we assume the car's brake upgrade is indicative of the engine's increased output. The stripped interior only contains what's needed for rally racing, including bucket seats, a motorsport steering wheel covered in Alcantara, a carbon-fiber dashboard and a roll cage.
