Up for sale is my baby. 1980 Toyota HJ45 Diesel Pickup that is ready for you to fly into town and drive it home.
This truck is Ready for a car show or Armageddon. For me she has been living the easy life. Driving around town
for lunch a few trips camping and the occasional car show.
Mechanically Here's a short list of things that have been done.
New Old man EMU suspension Front and Rear
New ARB Compressor With Front and Rear Differential lockers
The Rear Axle is floating HD axle which is Very rare to find on these truck. This axle was completely disassembled
and new bearings seals and shafts where installed.
The Front Axle had the same work done as the rear completely disassembled and all worn parts replaced including 4
wheel drive hubs.
The Power Brakes are all new including the master cylinder. It has Disk in the Front and drum in the rear.
The 16 inch Rims are one off custom built to give the rim the 16 inch split rim original look but with much better
performance.
The Rims are Fitted with New BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2
The Headlights are upgraded to halogen lamps with a vintage lamp assembly to give the truck a more authentic look
but high light performance.
The Stereo system is a New Custom Vintage hidden system that fits the vintage look of the interior with modern
features.
The switch panel is configured to control the ARB Compressor and Front and Rear Locker, Led Dome lights, fog lights
and Winch in/out
The heater System is a Vintage Air heater with billet controls. The controller runs defrost and floor heat very
well.
The body is in great condition. I had it painted a year ago and at that time all the Door seals, window rubber
gaskets and window felt was replaced. All emblems where replaced with NOS one that I found available. The doors
close with no problems. The main problem for me with it is the fit and finish is maybe a little to good for a off
road truck like this and makes me nervous to take her into the woods.
If you look close at this truck you'll find little details like the side mirrors I made those custom to fit the
modern doors with the vintage looking round style.
The Interior seats and door panels are in great condition no tears or excessive wear. Very clean.
The engine runs exactly as it should. I never have had a starting problem and drove this truck over 300 miles in
one day many of times. It gets regular oil changes and is pampered.
This truck will be a great truck for its next owner. If you want something that not going to be a bunch of
surprisses this is the truck for you. The mechanical is in order. As all 40 year old trucks there will be items
that could be addressed but this one is a really strong driver that will show and impress.
Thanks for looking.

Toyota U2 urban utility concept inspired by Maker Faire [w/video]
Tue, 09 Sep 2014There's a quiet revolution happening in US cities. People want to mix an urban lifestyle with a connection to nature and appreciation for craftsmanship. The result of all of this is folks pursuing things as varied as urban farming, home brewing and the whole maker movement. Toyota thinks it has the perfect concept for these intrepid customers with its new Urban Utility concept that it is debuting during a panel discussion hosted by Make: magazine in San Francisco and debuting publicly on September 20 at the World Maker Faire in New York City.
The Urban Utility concept can best be described as a modern take on the old panel van. Designers from Toyota's Calty Design Research center in California interviewed Maker Faire participants to find out what its users want from a novel vehicle like this. "Toyota saw an opportunity for a new approach to an urban vehicle based on increasing re-urbanization of our cities and urban drivers' desire for flexibility, fun and maneuverability," said Kevin Hunter president of Calty.
On the outside, the Urban Utility doesn't really scream for attention. It's meant to meet users "desire for greater utility but a smaller vehicle footprint," according to the release, but the shape is still very much a van. The designers do try to lend it some panache with the LED headlights up front and checker board side panels. It's really more about utility than looks, though, because the roof can roll back for taller loads, the rear glass retracts into the tailgate, and the whole rear can fold down as a ramp to load stuff more easily into the cabin. Toyota isn't talking about a powertrain yet but claims that the underbody is also especially durable for a long life in the big city.
Toyota makes $100M investment to boost Indiana Highlander production
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Toyota has announced that it will be making a $100 million investment in its Princeton, IN factory in a bid to increase production of its popular Highlander CUV. The move will create 300 new jobs by 2016 and increase the total number of crossovers the plant can produce by 30,000.
Toyota currently builds the Highlander, alongside the fullsize Sequoia, at Toyota Indiana's West Plant. The additional capacity, though, will be sent to the East Plant, which is currently responsible for production of the recently refreshed Sienna minivan.
"The Highlander has been a great product for our plant," Toyota Indiana President Norm Bafunno said in a statement. "Establishing Highlander as the 'bridge vehicle,' as we call it, between the East and West plants increases our ability to meet customer needs for our outstanding products. This exciting news is a true testament to the capability of our hard-working and dedicated team members."
Toyota sudden acceleration class action may cover 22 million owners
Thu, 16 May 2013A total of 22.6 million current and former Toyota owners have been sent notices that they may be eligible to receive compensation from the automaker for damages related to the unintended acceleration fiasco that has dominated headlines in 2009 and 2010. The total payout may be as high as $1.63 billion, according to The Detroit News.
Steve Berman, a lawyer for the owners, calls the potential deal "a landmark, if not a record, settlement in automobile defects class action litigation in the United States." Still, there's some debate about whether or not Toyota's proposed settlement is fair, as it includes $30 million for safety research and driver education programs - in other words, Toyota seems to be suggesting that drivers need more education on how to drive their correctly working and fully functional vehicles. For those keeping track, Toyota would also be paying lawyer fees of $200 million.
A US District Judge in California is scheduled to hold a so-called "fairness hearing" on June 14 that could decide the fate of this particular settlement. Further courtroom wrangling will be required to hash out any wrongful death suits levied against Toyota stemming from unintended acceleration claims, as those are not part of this class-action suit.
