I am selling my 2010 Toyota Tundra Double Cab, 4x4. I am the original owner of this truck. It is in Excellent working condition.
There is alot to cover on this truck, so I'm going to start by telling you a bit about myself. I am 31 years old, single, non-smoker, with no children. I am a truck driver by trade...(Peterbilt's, Kenworth's, etc..) I am also a bit of a shade-tree mechanic. Working on, and driving vehicles is my passion, and it is a big part of my life. I have worked on 100's of vehicles in my life, and have owned over a dozen cars and trucks, a dozen motorcycles, and many other motorized toys, boats, snowmobiles, jet-ski's, etc.
I bought this Toyota brand new in 2010. It sat in a garage in Montana for the first year of its life, while I was on the road working. The truck is titled in Montana. The title is clean, and I have it in my hand. I would come home every couple weeks and install various parts I had purchased. It was a project for most of that first year. The idea when I bought the truck was to run a true 35" tire, while keeping the truck -and the center of gravity- as low as possible. Ground clearance without sacrificing handling. I did everything myself except for the front springs, where I needed some help from the dealership. All oil changes, tire rotations, driveshaft lubrication, bumper installations, topper, bedrug, wheels, tires... I have done myself.
This is not my first truck, but it is without a doubt my best. I love this truck, and it really is the culmination of all my driving experience, wrapped into a package that I believe is one of the toughest, most reliable, and best looking trucks on the road. It does everything well, and really falls short nowhere. It has the speed and handling for Interstate trips, the clearance and 4x4 needed for off-road excursions, the towing/load-hauling capability, reliability... I can go on and on... all I can say is that to me, a professional driver, this is the perfect setup.
A tough financial situation is forcing the sale of this truck. It's not something I want to do. The truck is in San Diego with me now. It has been here in California for most of its life, after I moved here 2 years ago. It has never been a daily driver. It has been used mostly used for road trips, camping trips, or surfing trips, up and down the west coast, and in the western states.
Here's what has been added to the truck:
1) $3500 - SnugTop Super Sport Topper, with factory added Yakima roof-rack, ignition-independent LED lighting, Fold-down/sliding front window and a Pro-Lock glass rear door ... which can be locked from both the outside, or inside if you are camping.
2) $2750 - 35x12.50 R20 Toyo M/T Tires, mounted on 20" KMC Rockstar aluminum wheels. (The stock tire/wheel on this truck was 33" on 18"... so it is a minor +2" step up in both wheel size, and tire height... also adding an extra 2" of width, adding ~1" to both the inside and outside of the wheel center.
3) $300 - ARB/OME Heavy Coil Springs and Nitrogen OME Shocks up front. These were necessary to both support the weight of the front bumper, and to clear the larger tires. They greatly improved the ride, handling, and looks of the truck as well. No dive under braking, and very little sway from side to side. The rear suspension is totally stock, and the truck is perfectly level.
4) $2250 - ARB Deluxe Front Winch Bumper. You can find info on this at ARB's website. They are the best, crash tested, and airbag approved. This bumper weighs over 200 pounds and it is solid steel. Safe to say you will be driving away from most front end collisions. The factory foglight housings are mounted in the bumper and use the factory switch in the cab... all stock... the bulbs are different but I will cover this later under lighting. This bumper has provisions to mount a winch, although I never bothered.
5) $1300 - Expedition One Rear Bumper. This bumper is solid 3/16" steel as well. Very sturdy and safe to say the truck will remain drivable, with minimal damage, after a low to medium speed rear end collision. There are 2 heavy-duty attachment points and lights mounted in the bumper (which I will go over later).
6) $100 - Optima Yellow Deep Cycle Battery. These are the best batteries. Deep Cycle allows you to run it all the way down, and charge it back up many times, without damaging the battery.
7) Installed WeatherTech In-Channel window deflectors above the 4 cab windows. They fit great, work great, look great. No sticky tape, no mess.
8) WeatherTech Floor-mats up front, and a HuskyLiner 1-Piece floor liner across the entire rear floor. These floor mats catch and hold water, sand, and mud. The carpet/flooring underneath is just like new.
9) Lighting: Sylvannia SilverStar Ultra headlight bulbs for both high and low beams. JDM Yellow fog light bulbs, factory wattage, installed in the factory fog-light housing. 5W ARB orange front parking lights. White LED lighting in camper shell. 4" Truck-Lite LED lights mounted in rear bumper and on with parking lights (these are the best and very bright LED lights like you see on the best of the big 18-wheelers).
10) Locking gas cap.
11) Factory Security System has been activated.
12) $200 - LED Lighted and Heated Telescoping Tow Mirrors w/ turn signal indicators. Had the dealer add these premium mirrors during the sale.
13) $500 - BedRug. Padded and carpeted BedRug is installed with hook and loop fasteners. Removable. Marine-Grade carpet. Check the BedRug website for info. Color matches topper and interior.
Here's what has NOT been modified on the truck (some things are best left alone):
Everything under the hood is stock except for the battery. The engine, transmission, transfer case, drivelines, gears, front and rear axles, are all stock. Nothing has ever been touched or worked on. No modifications to the intake, exhaust, rear suspension, body, or frame of the truck. No modifications to the electrical system. The interior is all factory stock except for the floor-mats. There is no window tinting film on the truck of any kind.
Extra Info:
1) Oil has been changed every 5K miles. I used Mobil One full-synthetic 0W-20 (factory spec) and Toyota filters. Tire rotations and driveshaft lubrication with synthetic grease have been done at roughly the same intervals. I have a file on my computer where I keep track of all the maintenance intervals... you will get a copy with the truck.
2) The stereo has a factory 1/8" jack connector, for playing music from iPods/iPhones or whatever.
3) Everything locks. Factory alarm/key-fob, locking gas-cap, locking rear glass, locking Yakima roof-rack, keyed wheel locks on all 20 lugs... comes with two sets of keys for everything.
4) Truck comes with an oil filter wrench/tool in the glove box. You will need it to do oil changes.
5) Factory orange daytime running lights, fog lamps.
6) Cold Weather Package: heavy duty starter, heated mirrors, wiper de-icer.
7) Tow Package: 10,300 lbs., transmission cooler, 4.30 rear end with 10.5" ring gear, 150 Amp upgraded alternator, trans temp gauge, more...
Condition:
This truck is in 100% operational and functional excellent condition. Everything works. Everything has been cleaned, tuned, and adjusted properly.
This truck is in 90% like new cosmetic condition. It has no major dents or damage of any kind. No door dings. Some minor rock chips... some touched up, some not. The bumpers are black painted steel, and they have been touched up in a few places... either from minor bumps and dings from city parking, or from minor scratches and scrapes with bushes when off-roading... the best thing about steel bumpers is they never need to be replaced, just sanded and sprayed. I like how they look and they give the truck a rugged appearance. The wheels are in great condition.
The brakes are about ~30% worn. They have plenty of life left and are in great condition.
The tires are in great condition, no leaks or sidewall cuts/blisters. These tires have about 30K miles on them and have plenty of life left. I would say they have a little less than 50% tread remaining. I would expect them to last until around 45-50K miles.
Fluid levels are topped up and nothing leaks. Coolant is bright green. Oil is clear. Brake fluid is clear. Power steering fluid is good. Washer fluid ok. Everything is good.

Price:
KBB for this truck is around for a private party sale.
The truck was purchased new for $32,510. I have invested somewhere around $10,000 into parts and equipment.
I am starting the auction at the highest price offered to me by a wholesaler here in San Diego... but I am expecting this truck to sell somewhere around $27,500.
DELIVERY BONUS:
If you live in the western US (West of the Mississippi River), I will deliver this truck for free. Fly out here, check it out, and if you want, I will drive it to your house. Whatever you want to do, we can work it out.
This truck is beautiful and I get people stopping to say "nice truck" or take pictures every time I drive it!
Thanks and good luck with the auction :-)

Subaru may be set to end production of the Toyota Camry at its Lafayette, IN facility by 2017, according to a report from the Louisville Journal-Courier and a CBS affiliate in Columbia, South Carolina. Speaking to the plant's Executive Vice President Tom Easterday, the whole affair sounds like a done deal.
"Based on changes in Toyota's production plans, they have decided that the award-winning Camry production contract will not be renewed," Easterday said. Easterday was quick to emphasize that just because Camry production would end, doesn't mean jobs will be lost. "There will be no loss of jobs at SIA as a result of this," he said, before adding that the loss of Camry production will have no impact Subaru's $400 million investment to ready the plant for Impreza production in 2016. That said, adding a promised 900 jobs may take longer than originally planned, as Camry production staff are set to be retrained on Subaru production.
SIA currently has the capacity to produce 100,000 Camrys per year, and began production of the family sedan in 2007 alongside production of the Subaru Outback, Legacy and eventually, the soon-to-be-discontinued Tribeca.

First introduced in 2012, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's small-overlap frontal crash test has become the bane of many auto engineers' existence. It's a particularly steep design challenge because it forces just 25 percent of a vehicle's front end to take the brunt of a 40-mile-per-hour impact. The newly released results of four family-minded minivans underscore just how difficult the crash test is: only one scored an Acceptable rating, and the other three did very poorly. The 2008-2015 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan, plus the 2011-2015 Nissan Quest, all received Poor ratings in the test, the IIHS' lowest possible score. The three of them showed significant crash intrusion into the driver's area. The dummy in the Nissan actually had to be cut out of the vehicle, with an IIHS spokesperson remarking, "the structure collapsed like a house of cards." In the Fiat Chrysler Automobile vans, the steering wheels moved out of the way, making the airbag less effective and letting the driver's head hit the dashboard. While it was not actually crashed, the agency is also giving the 2009-12 Volkswagen Routan a Poor score because it shares a structure with the FCA models. The newly released results of four minivans underscore just how difficult the small-offset crash test is. The refreshed 2015 Toyota Sienna (shown), conversely, earned an Acceptable rating and is also a Top Safety Pick+ because of its optional forward collision warning and automatic braking system. While the crash test dummy moved around during the impact more than the agency would have liked, sensors showed a low risk of injuries. The IIHS tested the Honda Odyssey last year, and it earned a Good overall score, the agency's best ranking. It's also a Top Safety Pick+ vehicle. The only member of the minivan segment left to test is the latest Kia Sedona, and the Institute is reportedly waiting a little longer for Kia to make changes to improve the model's performance. When reached for comment, Nissan spokesperson Steve Yaeger provided Autoblog with the following statement: "Nissan is committed to vehicle safety and believes that consumers should have information about crash protection so they can make educated buying decisions. Nissan is proud of the 2014 Quest's "good" rating in the IIHS front moderate overlap and side impact tests as well as a "good" head restraint rating.
