1983 Toyota SR5 4X4 long bed truck, 5 speed manual transmission, <112K miles, single owner, 22R inline 4 cylinder engine, solid front axle, basically original (still have stock radio), garaged, bed never used and protected, and bucket seats covered since new. Oil changed every 3K miles using genuine Toyota filter (back flow preventer) and Castrol GTX, meticulously maintained inside and out, never in an accident or fender bender, custom hitch, alloy wheels in back and steel rims in front, good rubber all over (including spare). Everything is solid and working as designed.

The cigarette ashtray has been replaced with an insert and digital clock (btw, nonsmoker). OEM ashtray included. Dash has been covered and no dash cracks. Comes with a custom dash matt. Headliner and sun visors are in great shape.

Body is very clean and solid. The new owner will receive some extra parts for general preventative maintenance, like two new Fram air filters, two new headlamps, fuel filter, two thermostats.

It comes with a nice Brahma shell, painted to the same color. The back cab window opens and has a pass through boot to keep the elements out. It has a bed protector.

Some cosmetic items: the blue decals are peeling up around the edges. Additionally, there are several areas in the cab in which the blue plastic trim has cracked. Much of the driver seat belt retractor housing has broken away. The gaskets around the running lights have some cracks from age. The cracks have been filled with caulking to minimize any water penetration.

No Air Conditioning; originally purchased in CO (high altitude compensator) so no CA emissions. More than 9/10 of its life has been in CA.

Thanks for looking.

Toyota Tacoma X-Runner dead

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

A report from last week indicated that Toyota will begin trimming models from its Tacoma lineup starting with the Regular Cab in 2015, but the popular pickup will lose its first variant even sooner than that. For 2014, the Tacoma X-Runner has been dropped, though the company's SR Package could fill the need of those looking for a sporty pickup.
The X-Runner has been around since 2005 with its lowered stance, aftermarket-look body kit and bright paint colors, all of which are offered available only on V6-powered, two-wheel-drive Access Cab Tacomas. The new SR Package sounds like it will offer a somewhat similar appearance, though, with a monotone exterior paint scheme in limited colors accented with smoked headlights, but it will only be offered on Pre-Runner and 4x4 models. Other changes being made to the 2014 Tacoma include a new wheel option with black finish, a wider variety of Entune multimedia features, and the option to have the backup camera display moved from the rearview mirror to the audio system head unit.

Jay Leno goes offroading with the legendary Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Jay Leno takes a step outside of his cavernous garage for this latest video for a jaunt into the desert to get a little dirty. He meets up with off-road racing legend Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart, who has multiple Baja 500 and 1000 wins in his motorsports career, to play with a Toyota Tundra in the sand.
Unfortunately, Leno doesn't get to interview Stewart too deeply about his long history in racing, but Ironman does talk a little bit about reading the trail while speeding through the desert. In lieu of a great conversation, there is a ton of high-quality footage of the Toyota bounding through the desert.
This clip feels more like a marketing effort than the usual output from Jay Leno's Garage, but it's still great to see Stewart behind the wheel sliding a truck, just like old times. The two of them even take the truck on a somewhat humorous journey at the end of the video.

Toyota found not at fault in alleged unintended acceleration crash

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

Toyota has already paid out millions and billions of dollars in settlements surrounding unintended acceleration, but the first lawsuit in the matter, which headed to a California court in July, has reached a verdict. Following the 2009 death of Noriko Uno, whose 2006 Camry was hit by another car and then sped out of control before crashing into a tree, the jury found that Toyota was not at fault in the crash.
Even though the 2006 Camry (shown above) wasn't involved in any of the unintended acceleration-related recalls and it was not equipped with a brake override, Automotive News reports that the jury's verdict says there was no defect in the car and actually blames the entire incident on the driver that ran into Uno's car - to the tune of $10 million. The accident started when the other driver ran a stop sign and hit Uno's car, and the report says that medical conditions (including diabetes) caused Uno to fail to stop her Camry.
The AN article also states that this lawsuit was a bellwether case for around 85 other personal-injury and wrongful-death suits against Toyota, but there are still many impending suits across the country. Scroll down for an official statement on this particular case from Toyota.
