A 1983 Toyota Hilux 4x4 Long bed Deluxe pickup. This is a project truck that I purchased this last summer for restoration. This is a totally stock and unmodified pickup and is a great restoration candidate. The truck is very solid with the typical pinch weld rust above the rear wheels on the pickup bed. These beds notoriously rust in this area. The rest of the bed is very solid with the typical dings from shifting cargo. The cab has a few door dings but is solid otherwise. The paint is original and has "Nevada Sunburn" which means it has been totally ruined by the the intense sun. Areas where the paint has fallen off have been covered with white primer. The undercarriage is dirty but there shows no frame damage or rust. The rear axle has some surface rust.
All the lights work as well the heater and fan. The truck does have a/c but is not working. The interior is is all original but the radio had been taken out and replaced with an aftermarket unit. The dash frame was cut for this but original dash frames are still available through salvage yards and are easy to remove/install (8 10mm bolts and it all comes out). The dash pad in cracked but new ones are still available. The seats are pretty good with the drivers seat torn on the bottom cushion. The Deluxe trucks have the vinyl mat and is does have cracks and holes. The door panels are in nice original condition. I think the blue interior looks good on these trucks. New NOS Toyota sun visors installed and look great. The engine is a little trooper, never failing to start in intense heat or in frigid cold. I purchased the truck in August when the temps were 104 and this winter we had a cold snap when the temps dropped to -11. No problems. The timing chain is a little rattly upon startup but smooths out when the oil pressure builds up. Usually a couple is seconds for the oil pressure to come to normal. The transmission is a 5 speed and it shifts easily and smoothly. It is very noisy in all gears except 4th. The syncros work well and it does not pop out of gear. This was going to be my next repair. The clutch is strong and smooth. The brakes perform excellent with a little more than half the pads left and good solid peddle feel. This pickup has non power steering but really is not a problem. A little heavy at times but I found the steering effort to be quite acceptable. The 4 wheel drive works well. The truck handles very good in the snow even in 2 wheel drive. A little brute. In August I took the truck to a local mechanic who preformed over $1600 in repairs. They include: Replace Valve cover gasket Adjust Valves Replace water pump and antifreeze Replace front and rear output seal on transfer case Replace Distributor O-ring Replace front knuckles wheel seals and repack wheel bearings Repair emergency brake Replace gasket on exhaust Replace exhaust manifold gaskets The tires have lots of tread but I believe these to be quite old and the front tires probably should be replaced if driven at higher speeds. The truck has the original white steely wheels which I prefer. These old Toyota trucks are a blast to drive but they are VERY basic and offer no creature comforts. They are not that great on the highway as the suspension is very stiff and with the motor only producing 95 horsepower, the truck is pretty slow. Lots of rattles and noise associated with a 31 year old truck. Have I talked you out this yet? A modern Tacoma they are NOT but thats what make them so appealing! Shipping is the direct responsibility of the buyer (if there is one!). A $500 deposit via Paypal at auctions end is required with the balance due at pickup. The truck is listed elsewhere for sale and the auction may be ended at any time. Thanks for looking.

2015 Toyota Auris freshens up in Geneva, prepares for New York debut
Thu, Mar 5 2015Toyota is preparing to bring its Auris hatchback to the US market as a Scion. That makes news of this refreshed Auris, debuting at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, a fairly noteworthy piece of news. Changes are decidedly light, befitting of a refresh. Toyota has tweaked the headlights, taillights and both bumpers for 2015, featuring a wider grille up front. In the cabin, changes are similarly limited, with updated connectivity equipment, particularly the area around the infotainment system, being the biggest change. A new instrument cluster looks to have been installed, as well. Aside from those changes, though, Toyota didn't do too much to the Auris. You can check out our full gallery of live images for Geneva, and you'll want to be sure to check back here next month, for the official coverage of the Auris-based Scion iM when it debuts at the 2015 New York Auto Show. NEW TOYOTA AURIS TO JOIN NEW AVENSIS ON STAGE AT GENEVA Motor show debut for British-built Auris hatchback and wagon Toyota will reveal its new Auris at the Geneva motor show (3 – 15 March), the British-built hatchback and Touring Sports wagon versions making their debut alongside new Avensis. New Auris enjoys a refreshed design that adds presence and prestige, together with an upgraded cabin and new comfort and safety equipment features. The hybrid remains at the heart of the range, having established itself as the leading powertrain in the line-up, accounting for around half of all Auris sales in Europe in 2014. Nonetheless, the new model heralds the arrival of new and improved petrol and diesel engines, developed with a focus on efficiency and performance. The simultaneous reveal of new Auris and Avensis follows on from last year's introduction of Aygo and Yaris to complete a full rejuvenation of Toyota's core European model range. Both Auris and Avensis will continue to be built side by side at Toyota Manufacturing UK's car plant at Burnaston, near Derby. Toyota will host its Geneva motor show press conference on its stand in Hall 4 at Palexpo, at 12.15pm on 3 March. Related Video:
Toyota creates GT86 concept inspired by Initial D
Wed, Jun 29 2016Everyone has a favorite movie or TV car of their youths. The love of these cars can ignite a lifelong passion for automobiles. Some lust for the sharp, stainless steel DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future or the decked-out Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger. For anime and manga fans, it's the panda-colored Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno from the Initial D manga and anime series. Toyota, recognizing the significance of the that car, meticulously reimagined it for a modern audience, basing it on the UK market GT86. The GT86, sold in the United States as the Scion FR-S and soon to be rebadged as the Toyota 86, is considered by some to be the spiritual successor to the rear-wheel-drive AE86 Corolla from the 1980s. Both are reasonably affordable, lightweight cars with a propensity for oversteer. The original AE86 from Initial D was a highly modified but realistic drift machine. The amazing feats of that tofu delivery car as it raced everything from Mazda RX-7s to a Honda S2000 turned the little Toyota into a cult icon. That AE86 itself was inspired by the personal vehicle of Japanese racing driver Keiichi Tsuchiya. Tsuchiya served as both an inspiration and supervisor for Initial D. Many of the modifications on the Initial D car, like the TRD carbon-fiber hood and Fujitsubo exhaust, car were exactly the same as Tsuchiya's real-life vehicle. Toyota is no stranger to crafting modern incarnations of classic vehicles. Last year the company created a Back to the Future Tacoma. Toyota's Initial D concept car uses the same parts wherever possible. Like the original, it has a carbon-fiber hood, Fujitsubo exhaust, and black Watanabe F8 wheels. The suspension, lights, and body have all been modified. Even small details like the engine cover and door handles were modified to recall the fictional car. The end result is a fantastic creation that pays great homage to the original. Toyota went as far as hiring UK manga artist Sonia Leong to design a series of backdrops that place the car in the same action shots as the original series. While this one-off vehicle is just a concept, most of the parts are available to purchase for fans who may be inspired to create their own version. Toyota's concept will be on display at various motoring shows across the UK this summer. Related video: Featured Gallery Toyota Initial D GT86 TV/Movies Scion Toyota Coupe toyota gt86 toyota 86
