2008 Toyota Tacoma Regular Cab. 2wd. 73k Miles. Well Maintained. on 2040-cars
Spokane, Washington, United States
|
This pickup was purchased by me from the original owner with 8K miles on it. I have taken very good care of it. I have receipts for all oil changes at 4K mile intervals starting with a base oil change at 8K when I purchased it. It has a CD player, tilt wheel, A/C, Three over the shoulder belts (seats three fairly comfortably), class III hitch, 20" wheels as well as snow wheels/tires and a DJM 3/4 lowering kit. I've received questions about the lowering job, so I'll try to answer them all in one shot. The truck still has more clearance than my wife's Subaru. The kit comes with upper and lower control arms to handle the lowering part, so the front springs are stock as well as the rear springs. It rides just as nice as it did when it was new. The rear is a lowering block and a bolt-in notch. The kit simply gets rid of some of the ugly space between the tire and the fender well opening. I had the front aligned when I bought tires not that long ago and the alignment is perfect.
The truck has a small scratch by the gas door, and some pencil lead sized rock chips on the leading edge of the hood, but that's it. The driver's floor mat is toast, but the passenger's one is good. The seat is perfect as far as I can tell, it has no rips or signs of wear. I love the truck, I'm just looking for something more along the lines of a mid-life crisis mobile. |

Asian automakers still reluctant to use more aluminum
Tue, Jun 24 2014There's a logical progression of technology in the auto industry. We've seen it with things like carbon-ceramic brakes, which use to be the sole domain of six-figure sports cars, where they often cost as much as an entry level Toyota Corolla. Now, you can get them on a BMW M3 (they're still pricey, at $8,150). Who knows, maybe in the next four a five years, they'll be available on something like a muscle car or hot hatchback. Aluminum has had a similar progression, although it's further along, moving from the realm of Audi and Jaguar luxury sedans to Ford's most important product, the F-150. With the stuff set to arrive in such a big way on the market, we should logically expect an all-aluminum Toyota Camry or Honda Accord soon, right? Um, wrong. Reuters has a great report on what's keeping Asian manufacturers away from aluminum, and it demonstrates yet another stark philosophical difference between automakers in the east and those in the west. Of course, there's a pricing argument at play. But it's more than just the cost of aluminum sheet (shown above) versus steel. Manufacturing an aluminum car requires extensive retooling of existing factories, not to mention new relationships with suppliers and other logistical and financial nightmares. Factor that in with what Reuters calls Asian automaker's preference towards "evolutionary upgrades," and the case for an all-aluminum Accord is a difficult one. Instead, manufacturers in the east are focusing on developing even stronger steel as a means of trimming fat, although analysts question how long that practice can continue. Jeff Wang, the automotive sales director for aluminum supplier Novelis, predicts that we'll see a bump in aluminum usage from Japanese and Korean brands in the next two to three years, and that it will be driven by an influx of aluminum-based vehicles from western automakers into China. Only time will tell if he's proven right. News Source: ReutersImage Credit: Sean Gallup / Getty Images Plants/Manufacturing Honda Hyundai Mazda Nissan Toyota Technology aluminum

Jay Leno goes offroading with the legendary Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Jay Leno takes a step outside of his cavernous garage for this latest video for a jaunt into the desert to get a little dirty. He meets up with off-road racing legend Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart, who has multiple Baja 500 and 1000 wins in his motorsports career, to play with a Toyota Tundra in the sand.
Unfortunately, Leno doesn't get to interview Stewart too deeply about his long history in racing, but Ironman does talk a little bit about reading the trail while speeding through the desert. In lieu of a great conversation, there is a ton of high-quality footage of the Toyota bounding through the desert.
This clip feels more like a marketing effort than the usual output from Jay Leno's Garage, but it's still great to see Stewart behind the wheel sliding a truck, just like old times. The two of them even take the truck on a somewhat humorous journey at the end of the video.
