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 settles first wrongful death suit related to unintended acceleration

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Toyota's sales seem to have rebounded from the unintended acceleration issues from 2009 and 2010, but the automaker is far from done dealing with this situation. Following a settlement worth up to $1.4 billion for economic loss to affected vehicle owners, Toyota has settled rather than going to trial in a wrongful death lawsuit stemming from an accident in Utah in 2010 that left two passengers dead. This isn't the first case in which Toyota has settled, but it was the first among a consolidated group of cases being held in Santa Ana, CA.
According to The Detroit News, this case was scheduled to take place next month, and it was for a November 2010 incident in which Paul Van Alfen and Charlene James Lloyd were killed in a Camry when, based on findings by the Utah Highway Patrol, the accelerator got stuck causing the car to speed out of control and hit a wall; the terms of the settlement were not announced.
The article says that while Toyota will settle on some cases, it doesn't plan on settling on all of them as it still wants to be able to "defend [its] product at trial." This will probably be the case in suits claiming that software for the drive-by-wire accelerator was the cause of an accident in a Toyota or Lexus vehicle. The question of whether or not the electronic accelerator played any role in this problem has been a hot-button topic since the beginning. Toyota has issued recalls in the past to attempt to prevent unintended acceleration caused by trapped floor mats and faulty accelerator pedals, but it also says driver error was to blame in some instances.

Shuttle-hauling Tundra finds permanent home in science exhibit

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

The idea of lifting a full-size pickup truck completely off the ground by hand might seem as likely as, say, said pickup truck towing a 150,000-pound space shuttle, but... hurray, physics! The same Toyota Tundra that towed the Space Shuttle Endeavour to its final resting place at the California Science Center is now on permanent display there as an exhibit that shows how a lever works.
Like all levers, this exhibit uses a fulcrum allowing people other than Superman to lift the 5,625-pound pickup (plus an extra 1,000 pounds for the rig). That's almost as impressive as the Tundra pulling 17 times its rated towing capacity back in October. Regardless, Toyota is once again cashing in on the publicity stunt and visitors to the science center get a live demonstration of a simple machine - we call that a win-win.

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.
