I bought the cruiser in November of 2013 and have loved every minute of it. We have taken it on vacations throughout Oregon and Washington. We have pulled our camping trailer around with it. I ran it everyday in the last snowstorm we had in the area (yes I had to work while everyone else played). It has been a great truck for us and we will miss it. This was also my daily driver so it is no stranger to being used daily.
We intended on keeping it but my wife decided she wanted a vehicle that had a third row for taking other peoples kids around town. So the cruiser is the vehicle that gets to find a new home. Alright here is the breakdown of good/bad/ugly/etc... I have taken it in for regular maintenance (oil changes and such). I have had the AC converted to a newer refrigerant. I put in a stereo with bluetooth (I drive a lot and once you get used to that type of system its hard to get away from it). I also replaced the stock antenna with a whip antenna that has a plug for a cb on it. The new antenna fits right into the old antenna whole so it actually looks like it belongs there. This means you can attach a cb and not have to add an additional antenna to the rig. I replaced the gas struts in the back (would not even hold the window open when I got it). I also redid the water lines in the back window (washer fluid) because they had cracked and were leaking fluid all over the inside of the back window door. The prior owner put a second battery into the back (fairly common addition if you intend to use it as an expedition rig/camping rig). He was also responsible for adding the second set of lights on the roof rack. Other than that the rig is stock as far as I can tell. The interior is clean compared with what I have seen of other rigs in the price range and it was by far the best under 10k when I bought it. The engine runs great and I have never had issues with power or starting. There are a few quirks of these rigs related to the fuel and temp gauges. Every so often you will find the fuel and temp gauges spike all the way to the red (temp) and all the way full on the fuel. It freaked me out the first time and I almost towed the vehicle but quickly realized that there wasn't really a temp issue. It is an electrical issue within the gauge. If you are truly interested there are blog posts out there about fixing/changing the gauges to make it less annoying. Overall the fuel gauge shows full when full. then runs down to empty by the time you run through about half the tank. The transmission has a tendency to drop into reverse hard on occasion. I am not sure why this happens but wanted to give full disclosure on anything I noticed wrong with the truck. Rust. This truck has a very clean exterior (not perfect by any stretch of the imagination). It does have a crunched spot on the rear passenger side. You can clearly see it in the photos. There is almost zero rust on the exterior and very little underneath the truck. The rack, jack and lights all stay. I also have a Hi-Lift recovery bag with a bunch of fun toys inside (it stays with the rig) I have a clean title in hand. I will not ship the car and I don't even care if you mom really needs a land cruiser. I only accept cash. I won't take a check or anything similar. I hope it goes to a good home; someone that can take it out and play often. |

Renault Scenic EV takes first place as (European) Car of the Year
Mon, Feb 26 2024The automobile awards season may not be over, but two of the more prestigious annual races came closer to a climax this week. One might need a scorecard to keep track. We’re focused here on two events: the World Car of 2024, now reduced to three finalists in six categories. Then thereÂ’s the Car of the Year, known in some quarters as the European Car of the Year. Except that the car doesnÂ’t have to be European to win, only sold there. Got that? Winners out of the way first: At the Geneva Motor Show on Monday, the Renault Scenic E-Tech all-electric has been voted Car of the Year 2024. The Scenic is a fairly compact, somewhat stylish SUV for Europe only, and is the seventh vehicle from the French brand to win the award. It sells in the United Kingdom for about $47,500. The other six finalists that had made the first cut of voting in November were the BMW 5 Series, BYD Seal, Kia EV9, Peugeot E-3008/3008, Toyota C-HR, and Volvo EX30. The trophy winner was chosen by a jury of 59 motoring journalists from 22 countries. Scenic came in first place with 329 points. The Seal was the first Chinese-made car to make this awardÂ’s shortlist; it finished sixth out of seven, just up from the Toyota. One judge explained his decision to grant the Seal zero votes. Writing in Top Gear, Paul Horrell wrote this entertaining critique: “It looks good and is well specified, so makes a strong market entry. The advanced electric system and cobalt-free battery are commendable too, and it's enjoyable enough to drive quickly. That's undermined by an agitated ride over bumps, and the logic of screens and switches is pretty eccentric.” Recapping the World Car of the Year 2024 update, the sponsors shared the stage at Geneva on Monday with the Europeans as well, although they revealed only the top three finalists in six categories. For the ultimate prize, they are the Kia EV9, the Volvo EX30 and the BYD Seal. The winners will be announced March 27 at the New York International Auto Show. Here's more on the World Car finalists.

Jaguar solution to keyless start could save lives
Mon, May 14 2018UPDATED: An earlier version of this story indicated the Jaguar keyless start function was meant as a safety feature, when in fact, it is meant as a convenience one and will not work as described if automatic stop/start is not engaged. Today, The New York Times published an article about more than two dozen deaths related to drivers accidentally leaving their cars running, closing their garages and later succumbing to carbon monoxide that flooded their homes. The reason has been identified as "keyless start" features, or proximity entry and push-button start, where owners don't need to physically handle a key or fob to gain entry into the vehicle or start it. It is the latest, and deadliest, issue raised with this system after those related to security and simple inconvenience (for instance, leaving the car at a valet or car wash with the fob in your pocket). From my personal perspective, The New York Times had a rather harsh "evil carmakers" tone throughout the article. This is not a matter of a known faulty component, as with the GM ignition switch recall. This has as much to do with user error where people leave their car without pressing the "off" button and without noticing the engine is still running. About half of the cars in question are produced by Toyota and Lexus, brands that have offered keyless start longer than most. They are also brands with high rates of elderly owners, who seemingly made up a majority of reported deaths and injuries. One fire department in Florida even started a campaign alerting those in the area of the dangers of leaving your car running when it noticed a correlation between an increase in cars equipped with keyless start and calls related to carbon monoxide poisoning. I see several contributing issues at play, most of which go well beyond this particular issue. First is insufficient training of owners by dealers and/or owners not paying close enough attention during this training. Cars are complicated, but you should at least know how basic functions work. Second, woefully inadequate driver training in this country. Third, and with apologies to the AARP, insufficient testing of elderly drivers and/or insufficiently low standards for elderly drivers. If you don't know you have to shut the car off or cannot hear that an engine is running, perhaps you shouldn't be driving. Fourth, re-examining keyless start systems.
Watch this cement truck roll into Toyota minivan from driver's point of view
Thu, 10 Apr 2014If you've been having an easy day and haven't received your daily dose of unmitigated terror, then this video is for you. Dr. Guan Zhu, a Texas A&M professor, caught the above view on his dashcam in College Station, TX, as a cement truck ran a red light, lost control and rolled into his Toyota Sienna minivan.
Although he received only minor injuries, Dr. Zhu says that he blacked out during the accident. The truck driver also avoided serious injuries, and the Sienna took the hit rather well too. Scroll down to watch the footage and report from KBTX. Hopefully, this is as close anyone else ever gets to a terrifying event of this nature.
