1997 Tacoma Extended Cab on 2040-cars
Wichita, Kansas, United States
280000 miles ...Just broke in...Good for 500000 plus. 267000 replaced timing belt and all other belts for the 4th time. Told every 90000 good but avg time between
replacement 70000. Replaced the water pump/radiator at this time. Changed spark pugs three times and coils once. Last time on the spark pugs was 257000 when replacing the valve cover gaskets. 270000 miles replace all U-joints on drive train. Transfer case U-joints were ok and greased. Replaced U-joints had Grease Points and were grease often. The new ones do not. A three day old jeep was pushed into the front by a in a hurry mustang while sitting at a stop sign. Would have drove away but a small pin hole in the radiator prevented it. Hood and grill lights have been replaced and custom bumper is ready for a winch and fog lights. Truck probably has 70000 more miles than average. Had 200 mile Sunday paper route. Average MPG 17 stop and go...20.5 Highway. Nearly new rubber and the front struts and rear shocks were replaced 250000 miles. Rides good on the highway/ hold steady on country road and pasture. Front calipers and disc replace, rears brakes and ABS brake actuator replaced between 180000 and 200000. Transmission was recently flushed with new fluid for the third time. Have been using good synthetic for the last 80000 plus . Rear bumper is good but tail gate has a very shallow push in dead center of the tag. Don't know where that came from. Had this truck since 2001. It had 56,000 miles on it. Serviced it regularly and replaced what ever broke. It is good truck now and can be a good truck for the right person. Retirement and one too many trucks causes me to sell it. I will need to see reference and an intention list from any new owner.(Just Kidding) It is for sale at a reasonable price. Tried to price it a fair range to Kelly Blue Book, $5500. Put a Craigs List topper on in..Wash it and a good detail it will look like an $8000 dollar vehicle. I will accept a fair OBO. |

Toyota TRD Pro Chase Trucks are ready to hit the desert at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Toyota marks the 35th anniversary of its Toyota Racing Development performance arm this year, and the division is celebrating at this year's SEMA Show with a quartet of tuned off-roaders based on on the 4Runner, Tacoma and Tundra that look more than ready to go just about anywhere.
All four of them will take part in this year's Baja 1000 race, but only the Tundra (far left in the above photo) is actually competing. The other three will be there to act as support vehicles.
Inspired by the production TRD Pro Series trucks, the 4Runner, Tacoma and Tundra are prepared by off-road fabricator N-Fab with a mix of TRD and the company's own parts to be able to take whatever the grueling, 1,000-mile can throw at them. The trio is fettled with extra communications equipment, GPS, additional lights and all sorts of body and suspension modifications to help them survive the ordeal.
LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.
