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

Toyota launches updated Verso-S in Europe
Wed, 14 May 2014Globally, the Toyota Yaris has bred more variants than we can shake a stick at. It's been known in different markets as the Vitz, the Platz, the Bella, the Vios and, to us, as the Echo. The first-generation model bred a small cargo van called the Yaris Verso - a mini minivan riding on the shortest wheelbase in its class - which was renamed the Verso-S for Europe and alternatively known as the Space Verso, the Ractis, the Ractis Verso and even the Subaru Trezia in certain markets. And now Toyota has launched a revised version of its Verso-S in Europe.
Arriving as a mid-life facelift after three years on the market, the new Toyota Verso-S has been reinterpreted through the "Keen Look" design language that's been distinguishing the latest generation of Toyotas, particularly in the European market. That means new projector-beam headlights and LED daytime running lights, a reshaped grille with chrome surround, more LEDs around back, a fresh set of 16-inch alloys and new color options.
The interior has likewise been spruced up with new trim and color choices, as well as a tire pressure monitor fitted as standard. There's a new touchscreen display with more connectivity options, upgraded nav and a rearview camera as well. Since Toyota's made no mention of engine upgrades, until we hear back, we have to assume the 1.3-liter inline-four and 1.4-liter diesel engines carry over unchanged with the buyer's choice of either a six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission.
Toyota launches new Passo hatchback in Japan [w/video]
Fri, 18 Apr 2014With considerable manufacturing capacity here in the United States and even a NASCAR program, it'd be all too easy to categorize Toyota as an American automaker. Only it's not. It's Japanese, of course. And back in the Japanese Domestic Market, it offers a whole range of models we'll never see in North America. Models like the Crown sedan, Noah minivan and this, the new Passo hatchback.
Sold in various markets as the Daihatsu Boon, Daihatsu Sirion, Perodua Myvi and (for a time) the Subaru Justy, the Toyota Passo is a compact hatchback that slots in size-wise between the Yaris sold in America and the Aygo offered in Europe (except the Passo is taller than either).
Power comes from a 1.0-liter engine with 69 horsepower that can be had in front- or all-wheel drive, or a 1.3 driving 95 horses to the front wheels alone. A continuously variable transmission is on duty regardless of engine choice. Front-drive models get a stop/start system, but even all-wheel-drive versions are eligible for government tax credits. That's because, though the new Passo only appears to be mildly updated, the engines have been thoroughly reworked to deliver 30-percent better fuel economy than the previous model, coming in 20-percent better than the standards being enacted by the Japanese government for next year.
2014 Toyota Corolla shows its new Euro-spec nose [w/poll]
Fri, 07 Jun 2013After tons of teasing, Toyota finally unveiled the all-new 2014 Corolla in the wee hours of the - at least to those of us here in the Midwest. The fresh new face of the US-spec car takes a number of cues from the Camry and Avalon sedans, and in S trim with the large alloy wheels and blacked-out front fascia, we'd even venture this is the most boldly styled North American Corolla to date (faint praise as that may be).
Of course, our friends in other markets will also be getting fully updated versions of the Corolla as well, and here, we're getting our first glimpse at the European-spec car, complete with a very different front fascia that, at least in this trim, seems to take a more conservative design approach. A quick poll of the Autoblog staff shows that we're torn as to whether or not we prefer this European look to our North American-specific car, but at least in the sporty-ish S trim, we think the Americans may have got the better end of the deal.
The Euro-spec Corolla actually shares a lot of its design with its larger platform-mate, the Auris, a car that we don't - and likely won't - get in the States. Inside, the European Corolla looks basically the same as the NA car, and while market-specific engines and specifications haven't been released yet, it's expected that the Corolla will share much of its dirty bits with the European Auris, as well.
