I've owned this for about 3 years and driven it all over town and the mountains until I seized the engine a few months ago. Everything was reliable until the engine died. The seats were solidly mounted with to the stock brackets after about 10 hours of fabrication. I have no idea what the seats came from but they're leather, power and very comfortable. The passenger seat has a 1" tear that isn't noticeable to most people and could easily be repaired. I have not finished hooking up the power to the seats. The dash is cracked and peeling. Where the bezel surround the air controls I narrowed it and removed the coin holder that is normally there. You may notice the radio is not in the stock location because of this. The radiator is a polished aluminum radiator that was installed in 2013 and works great. It's made especially for a Cruiser. I installed a Specter Offroad smog pump delete bracket/pulley. The reason why a few engine items are missing is because I thought I was going to put a 5300 in it but I have too many projects and too little time. This does have rust in the normal spots. I cut out most of the rust and replaced it with fresh metal around the drivers side rear wheel area. The passenger side still has the rust. The tailgate has rust on the bottom 1". You could replace the rust with fresh metal, use it as is or get another tailgate. The roof rail has rust bubbles around it. This has the original front and rear bumpers which are pretty straight. The transmission and transfer case work great. Clutch is good. You'll see the the rear window needs replaced. It has a hole in it. All seat belts are there an installed. Door panels would look better if you replaced them too. I purchased the wheels from Summit back in September and they fit great along with the 33x10.50-15 BFG's. One tire is new and the other three are good tires. They do not need replaced. This does not have a lift kit on it and the tires are tight but with a little massaging around the fender wells they'll fit perfectly. There are a couple of spots that get some tire rub but very little. The lights work and it's ready for a new engine.
This Cruiser needs an engine, carb and distributor to drive. Nothing else. Everything else it could use is cosmetic. It's a project.

  • Carburetor is missing
  • Distributor and coil are missing
  • Cruise Control is there but disconnected
  • Air Conditioning works
  • Heat Works
  • Rear heater was removed
  • Front Wipers work
  • Fuel Gauge works
  • Tachometer works
  • Speedometer needs $20 gear in the transfer case (easy to install)
  • Radio is cheapo but works
  • 4X4 works great
  • Hitch is installed
  • New tail light lenses from Specter
If you want it shipped then I can have it at my business in Garden City, Idaho for a truck to pick it up. Right now it's at my house.Shipping is the buyers responsibility. I can help load it.

Toyota unintended acceleration lawsuit settled for $16M

Mon, 08 Apr 2013

Slowly, the many loose threads still dangling after the unintended acceleration issue Toyota faced a few years ago are being resolved. The Orange County District Attorney's office was believed to be the first DA's office to take Toyota to court, its suit alleging that Toyota knew its cars had defects and continued to sell them. The suit sought to "permanently enjoin Toyota from continued unlawful, unfair, deceptive, and fraudulent business practices as it pertains to both consumers and competitors" and asked for $2,500 "for every violation of the Unfair Business Practices Act," plus costs.
That suit has now been settled, Toyota - without admitting fault or wrongdoing - agreeing to pay $16 million to the county. Half of the money will go to the Orange County Gang Reduction Intervention Partnership, another four million dollars to the OC DA's office to investigate economic crime, the remaining four million being used to pay for the case.

Toyota GT86 14R-60 shows how to do lightweight at a steep price

Sat, 11 Oct 2014

Toyota is finally making good on its Griffon concept from last year with this limited-edition 14R-60 that basically hops through the Toyota Racing Development catalog to imagine the ultimate lightweight GT86 (the continental relative to the Scion FR-S/Subaru BR-Z). Unfortunately, it's not coming stateside, and even if this modded Toyobaru were coming here, you might not want to pay the rather steep price.
Like the concept, the 2.0-liter boxer engine still makes the same 197 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. However, the drivetrain isn't entirely untouched thanks to a new air filter, engine oil cooler, a reinforced clutch, lightweight flywheel, and mechanical limited-slip differential from TRD. The six-speed transmission is also tweaked, with different gearing in first and second and an altered final drive ratio.
To keep things planted the suspension gets a new coilovers, a V-shaped tower brace in the front and another in the rear. Improved deceleration comes thanks to upgraded brakes. There also are even more goodies on the outside, including a complete body kit that includes a carbon-fiber roof and massive rear spoiler. The stock wheels are replaced with 18-inch forged magnesium units, as well.
