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.

2014 Toyota Corolla and Tundra production underway
Fri, 02 Aug 2013After months of leaked photos and speculative reports, Toyota finally unveiled its 2014 Corolla to the world in early July at a star-studded California party. The confetti has been swept up and the champagne flutes washed and stored, and now the real work can begin: production. Toyota has announced that its new C-segment player has begun rolling off the lines at its plants in Mississippi and Ontario, Canada this week ahead of the planned start of sales in September. What's more, the refreshed 2014 Tundra pickup has also segued into production in San Antonio, Texas.
Corolla production in Mississippi is still a relatively recent phenomenon, with the plant having begun assembly of the outgoing model in the fourth quarter of 2011, while Toyota's Cambridge, Ontario plant has been churning out the compact volume king since 1988. Conversely, the Tundra has been in production at the Texas facility since 2006, and Toyota projects that the plant will build its milestone one-millionth new vehicle in September, right around the time the reworked fullsize pickup goes on sale.
2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro priced from $41,285*
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Just a few weeks after announcing pricing for the first two members of its TRD Pro Series, Toyota has finally dropped the final pricing details on its new Tundra TRD Pro. Like the Tacoma TRD Pro, the Tundra will be available in two different body styles, with a more affordable Double Cab and a roomier Crew Cab.
Prices start at $41,285 for the former and $43,900 for the latter - not counting a hefty $1,100 destination charge - effectively slotting Toyota's off-road-ready model between the $41,730, Double Cab Limited and $46,465, Crew Cab-only 1794 Edition trucks.
As we've covered previously, the TRD Pro models come with a raft of off-road gear that should help combat just about any terrain a driver may stumble across. TRD-tuned Bilstein shocks and TRD-tuned front springs add two inches to the big truck's ride height while the black, 18-inch TRD wheels and available Inferno Orange paint add a bit of visual sass. A new TRD dual exhaust system is also standard, which can confirm sounds great (review coming soon!).
Recharge Wrap-up: Nissan "religious" about zero-emissions, Tesla crashes at dealership, Formula E on-board video
Wed, Jul 16 2014Nissan is pretty darn serious about being king of the EV industry. Just see what Chief Planning Officer Andy Palmer has to say at the launch of the e-NV200: "When it comes to zero emissions, we're absolutely religious. We'll be the absolute, No. 1 leader in zero emissions. No doubt. That's our positioning." Bold words, to be sure. Toyota, on the other hand, ended its collaboration with Tesla (whom Nissan mustn't forget about in its quest to reign supreme in the EV world) to build the RAV4 EV, and will focus instead on hybrids and testing the waters with hydrogen cars. Says Jim Lentz, CEO of Toyota North America, "I would rather invest my dollars in fuel cell development than in another 2,500 EVs." Read more at Automotive News or Autoweek. To celebrate 25 years of TDI technology, Audi is releasing the A7 Sportback 3.0 TDI Competition special edition in Europe. The Competition uses Audi's biturbocharged, 3.0-liter diesel engine boosted to 326 horsepower, giving the car a 0-62 time of 5.1 seconds. It comes with the S line sport package and is offered in four exterior colors: Daytona Gray, Misano Red, Nardo Gray and Sepang Blue. The interior is black leather, with the option of Misano Red or Agate Gray contrast stitching. The Competition edition will go on sale in August starting at ˆ72,000 (about $97,700). Audi's first Turbocharged Direct Injection engine debuted at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show in the Audi 100 2.5 TDI. See the press release down below for more details. There was another Tesla Model S crash recently, this one at the Tesla Store. The driver apparently crashed the freshly purchased car into the Tesla sign before even making it off the lot. According to Reddit user s1lentway, who was at the Tesla Store in Fremont, California when it happened, "We believe this is someone who just got their car. They must have been driving it for less than a minute and lost control, crashing right into the sign missing the showroom glass windows only by a few inches." Wrecked Exotics suggests the driver hit the accelerator instead of the brake pedal. Probably the best comment in the Reddit post: "Edison strikes again."
