Selling my 1997 Toyota Landcruiser: Don't have room to keep this anymore, really have enjoyed driving it (mostly highway mileage for last 25k miles) and a few couple trips to the Texas Gulf Coast:

The Good:

  • Front/Rear Locker - rare option and works great (interior controlled)
  • Rebuilt Head with approx 25k miles since replacement (approx $1100 in parts)
  • New Front/Rear rotors replaced within 15k miles, recently replaced brake pads
  • Engine runs very strong, excellent idle and freeway operation
  • All new EGR components - valve, soleniod (relocated to avoid damage from intake heat), temp sensor, modulator
  • Cruise Control works great
  • Car tracks straight, no drivability issues at freeway speed & below
  • Transmission shifts great, no problems
  • Airconditioning blows cold & heater works great
  • Towing Package - hitch with 5000lb capacity
  • Tires have good amount of tread on all 4 tires, low miles since purchase from Discount Tire (certificates included)

The Bad

  • Has oil leak from valve cover, I purchased complete gasket kit to fix & will include it in auction sale
  • Right rear quarter panel has large dent where a car backed into it
  • Font bumper is dented in after another car backed into it (previously replaced due to light front accident)
  • A/C Clutch making noise, still working but should probably be replaced
  • Two small surface rust spots (under driver side mirror & pasenger side windshield pillar)
  • Interior is decent for its age - but shows signs of the expected wear
  • Rim lip damage on passenger rear rim - full size spare rim could be used to swap out if desired
  • Top coolant return nipple repaired with patch, works fine and no leaks (just disclosing)
  • One cracked sensor housing repaired with patch, works fine (nothing wrong with manifold just plastic cracked)
  • Power seats not moving backward - motors move, looks to be issue with drive gear

HQ move based on study, not pitch from Gov. Perry, Toyota says

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

Toyota's surprising announcement on Monday that it will move its North American headquarters from Torrance, CA location to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX is allegedly not due to any political wrangling from the state's Republican governor, Rick Perry.
Perry (above) has been up front in his aggressive pursuit of businesses and jobs for Texas, traveling to California, Missouri, Illinois and New York to tempt corporations to his state. And it's not just about the promise of much lower taxes, a Perry spokesman reminds Automotive News that the state boasts, "a workforce that is skilled and ready to do any job."
For his part, Jim Lentz, Toyota's North American CEO said Plano was chosen through an internal process, with the location helped by its proximity to the company's massive pickup factory in San Antonio rather than any campaigning from the governor.

Cheap, honest transportation | 2017 Toyota Yaris iA

Fri, Mar 24 2017

In The Love Bug, the main character (aside from Herbie) is a down-on-his-luck racing driver named Jim Douglas. Early on, he steps into an exotic car show room, and when the dealer asks him kind of car he's looking for, Douglas replies, "What do you have in the way of cheap, honest transportation?" The dealer quickly snatches his fancy liquor back from Douglas and soon after Herbie shows up from the back of the showroom. But if this happened today, you could easily replace the classic Beetle with a 2017 Toyota Yaris iA. The poor thing isn't nearly as endearing to look at as a classic Bug, as a result of the rather unattractive nose, and it's now using a second pseudonym (first Scion iA, then Toyota Yaris iA) to hide its Mazda heritage. However, everything else about it nails the description of cheap, honest transportation. And for that reason, it's a lovely little car. Let's start with honesty, and it begins from the minute you start equipping the car – the iA is a "what you see is what you get" proposition. You see, the iA moniker isn't the only holdover from the Scion era. The Toyota Yaris iA retains its "monospec" configuration, which means it comes with only one option: the transmission. Customers can choose from either a 6-speed manual like our test car, or a 6-speed automatic which costs $1,100. Everything else is standard, and "everything" includes some choice features. You get alloy wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, USB and Bluetooth integration, a rear-view camera, tilt and telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, and keyless entry with push-button start. Technically there are a number of dealer-installed accessories too, including your typical fare of mudguards, rear spoiler, cargo organizers, and such. However, none of them are really necessary, with one exception. For some odd reason, the Yaris iA does not come with a center armrest. It's a $195 accessory, and frankly it should be a standard feature because it's so useful. If you hadn't guessed, ours wasn't equipped with it. Everywhere else the iA is a thoroughly pleasant car, if not as sporty as the old Mazda2. The little 1.5-liter four-cylinder under the hood isn't particularly potent with 106 horsepower and 103 lb-ft of torque. But with a Miata-like 2,385-pound curb weight and our car's manual transmission, it manages to feel fairly sprightly, and never has any trouble dicing it up with traffic. That transmission is pretty decent, too.

Watch a Toyota Highlander ram a house, twice

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Toyota has had plenty of problems in recent years due to claims of unintended acceleration, and now here's a video that actually catches such a claim on video. The driver of this 2010-2013 Toyota Highlander claims that the crossover's accelerator got stuck causing the vehicle to slam into the house twice, and resulting in damage to the Highlander, the house and two vehicles inside the garage. While we don't know when this accident took place, the video was uploaded to YouTube back in January.
It is impossible to determine what actually happened in this video, but what we do know is that a security camera captures the Highlander slowly pulling into the driveway before it lunges forward slamming into the garage. With the tires squealing and metal crunching, the driver then shifts between reverse and drive a couple times causing even more property damage before spinning out in the street and finally being able to shift into Park. Scroll down to see the video for yourself. Whether unintended acceleration or driver error, this was undoubtedly a harrowing ordeal.
