Up for auction is a 1989 Toyota Dual Rear Wheel chassis-cab truck.  The frame, cab, and axles were factory built by Toyota with a 137" wheelbase and true dual rear wheels with a full floating rear axle.  The truck was purchased on e-Bay in June of 2006 from a bricklayer in New Jersey.  Either he or a previous owner had a Rugby electric over hydraulic dump mechanism installed between the frame and stake body. 

The entire truck is 210" long, 67" tall, and 90" wide at the mirrors.  The stake body has inside dimensions of 106" long by 73" wide.

The engine was professionally rebuilt in late 2006 by a Toyota Master Tech including: NEW factory block and pistons; 3 angle valve job with resurfaced heads; new oil and water pumps; new timing belt, drive belts, and idler pulleys; new A/C pulley and clutch; new complete clutch assembly; and more.  The entire blue vinyl interior was removed and a gray cloth interior (with a couple small rips) from a V6 1 Ton was installed.  The much lower mileage but identical transmission from the 1 Ton was also swapped in.  Cruise control was installed.  Sturdy 110" ramps that store under the bed and a remote control electric winch were added to pull mowers, etc into the bed.  Sort of like a small flatbed tow-truck.

In 2010 spring leaves from a another chassis-cab were trimmed and added to make 6 leaves per side, allowing 3000 lb payloads to be carried.  Wood panels 24" high for transporting dirt; and 60" high with a tarp for catching wood chips were made. 

Also that year, the cooling fan exploded due to a faulty fan clutch causing the dents in the hood and requiring replacement of the battery, washer reservoir, fan clutch, fan, radiator, and power steering pump.

Within the last 2 years the front upper control arms, muffler, horn, blower resistor, and brake master cylinder have been replaced and the front fenders and the welds at the rear of the cab have become rusty.

In May of 2013 the truck was rear ended which destroyed the trailer hitch and tore its mounting bolts through the frame.  The tail-light lenses were broken then taped.  The rear-most exhaust hangar was broken off. 

The frame has developed serious rust problems; in particular the area around the front sway bar bracket is going fast.

Toyota investing $30 million in Indiana for more Highlander production

Sun, 28 Jul 2013

Indiana seems like the place to be if you're looking for work in a car factory. In May, Subaru announced plans to invest $400 million in its Lafayette, Indiana plant, creating 900 new jobs in the process and increasing capacity to 300,000 units per year. Now, Toyota has announced plans to invest $30 million in its Princeton, Indiana plant, 170 miles south of the Subaru factory, which also builds the Camry.
Toyota's investment will create an additional 200 jobs and increase the factory's volume by 15,000 units. Toyota announced an investment in the plant in February of 2012 that bumped volume up from 300,000 to 350,000 units. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana, as the Princeton facility is officially known, produces the recently revised Toyota Highlander, the Sequoia and the Sienna. It employs 4,500 people, and this announcement represents Toyota's tenth production increase in under two years.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.

Toyota restructuring US operations, possibly moving to Texas

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, Toyota is poised to announce Monday that it is restructuring its US operations, which may include plans to relocate some of its operations to Texas. Toyota Motor Sales has been located in California since 1957, and is responsible for North American sales, marketing, and distribution for Toyota, Lexus and Scion. According to Toyota literature, its Torrance operations presently employs 6,156 workers and represents a $2.3-billion investment.
Workers in Toyota's Torrance offices were abuzz about the possible relocation to Texas. One young offspring of a Toyota employee even posted to Twitter that her parents warned about the upcoming move, and she said she's refusing to go.
Rumors at one point had Toyota settling in Richardson, TX, just outside Plano. But Autoblog talked to Richardson Mayor Laura Maczka, who said she would be thrilled if that were true, but has not heard anything on the subject. Autoblog also emailed with Bill Sutherland, a city councilman in Torrance, CA, who said, "To date the only info I have is what I have read in the paper expecting a press release Monday."
