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.

GT Academy returns, and why Gran Turismo 6 demands a pedal/wheel setup
Fri, 18 Apr 2014The path to become a racing driver is a difficult one. It requires starting early, with karts, and then building up through the years and if you're really, really good (and really, really lucky), a team will notice you and sign you up. Or, you know, you could just become really good at Gran Turismo, and beat out other like-minded fanatics for a seat in the GT Academy.
The racing school, which culls its students from the ranks of Gran Turismo players has already pumped out successful racers, most notably, Lucas Ordoñez, who has a second and third-place finish under his belt at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With the 2014 GT Academy kicking off April 21 and running through June 16, you could have a chance to be the next Ordoñez.
That won't be easy, though. We recently had a playthrough on GT6 the proper way - with a racing seat, pedals and a steering wheel, complete with column-mounted paddles. (Our setup looked just like the one you see above, though that image is from E3.) In other words, it was as close to driving an actual car as most console games can get.
We drive the cars of Furious 7... in Forza Horizon 2 [w/video]
Thu, Apr 9 2015On March 27, Turn 10 Studios, the folks behind the Forza Motorsport series, and Universal Pictures, the studio responsible for the Fast and Furious franchise, gave us a match made in heaven, announcing a "standalone expansion" featuring the two franchises. Called Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast and Furious, it features the cars from the latest film installment, unique missions and the voice-acting of Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, who plays tech guru Tej Parker on camera. A Fast and Furious video game? Seems like a no brainer. It gets better. Rather than limiting the Fast and Furious Edition cars to the expansion game, Turn 10 made them available through one of their (some may say notorious) downloadable content packages. Eight of the expansion's 11 cars were made available for just $4.99 (the only cars that weren't included were the Fast and Furious Edition Nissan GT-R, while the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and McLaren P1 are already available in-game). What's cool ais that the cars featured in both games are visually identical to the vehicles driven by the stars of Furious 7. Each in-game car has an on-screen parallel that plays a role in advancing the film's story. Considering that we're unlikely to score seat time in Dominic Toretto's real Dodge Charger, then, we figured we'd take to the game and test the car in the digital realm. We've got nine little cluster reviews, covering the cars both in the game and how they appear in the movies. And don't worry, there are no major spoilers here. Click on for the cars of Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast and Furious. 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Fast and Furious Edition Supercharged 7.2L V8 / 900 HP / 663 LB-FT The one vehicle that is mandatory in a Fast and Furious video game, Dom's hot-rodded 1970 Dodge Charger, is as much a character in the films as its driver. Furious 7 marks the fourth appearance of this Mopar beast in the series. Not surprisingly it's a handful to drive, wildly quick and with a four-speed transmission packed full of very tall gears. But beyond that, it's arguably the coolest of the FF Edition cars. This black beauty is exactly as it appears in the latest installment of the film, with the video game version featuring intricate little details, like the moving parts on the BDS supercharger. It's an iconic car, and it's treated as such in the game.
HQ move based on study, not pitch from Gov. Perry, Toyota says
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Toyota'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.
