Awesome looking, sounding, running, truck!
It's not perfect, but it's pretty sweet. It get's lots of stares, honks, thumbs ups, high-fives. I've had people chase me down and wave for me to pull over so they can chat about my truck.
It runs perfect. It's been highly modified to be the perfect daily-driver, and all-around fun truck to drive.
- Power Steering, very responsive, (maybe too fast ratio)
- Front Disc Willwood disc brakes
- *BRAND NEW* SBC 350 Crate engine, 1406 Edelbrock Carb
- Heavy-Duty Roll Cage
- Chrysler Chili-Pepper Red
- Bestop Rear Bench Seat, folds and flips forward
- Dual Exhaust, sounds bad-a$$
- Monster Toyo MT Open Country 33"
- Large Auxiliary Fuel Tank
- Rhino lined interior
Original fiberglass dome top is bare, and needs refinishing, but I'm including brand new cans of fiberglass resin, epoxy primer, and marine-grade fiberglass paint (bright white Rustoleum).
I'm including an old, but new and uninstalled, foam header for underside of the dome, but you'll need to glue it up. I was going to spray 2-tone ZOLATONE instead.
I'm including a big box of spare parts, mainly trim, mouldings, random caps, odds-n-ends, that came with the truck when I got it a few years ago.
I really would love to keep this truck, but I'm selling this truck, just because I do not use it as much as I should or would like to. It's not as practical for a family of 5. I think this would be a great summer truck. I've never taken it off-road, and never driven it in the rain. I've also never taken off the hardtop, or the doors. It includes a Bestop bikini top, and soft side doors (which I've never installed, but I have).
There are a few paint cracks and rust spots. There is a tiny rock chip in the driver-side front windshield glass. The Bestop rear bench seat is intact, and no holes in the upholstery, but the zipper needs to be fixed or replaced to make it fit right. The front pins are installed, and the bench will roll on those pins forward. The rear locking hardware is not installed, and the rear of the bench just rests on the carpeted rear floor.
I have lots of pics, but I need to get them posted up here.. in the meantime, I put a bunch of the most recent pics and video on YouTube, and I made a blog to organize my thoughts, videos, and pictures.
Please look here for all the information you need:

Thank you..

Mazda's new Mexican plant capacity rises to 230,000
Sat, 05 Jan 2013After the turmoil of last year, 2013 is getting off to a much better start for Mazda. The company has issued a release indicating that the forthcoming plant in Salamanca, Mexico has had its production capacity raised even though it isn't scheduled to go online until March 2014. The original plans called for a 140,000-unit capacity, 90,000 of that allotted for the Mazda2 and Mazda3, the remaining 50,000 for a small car Mazda would build for Toyota that would be based on the Mazda2. The new plans call for raising that by 90,000 units to a total of 230,000 units within two years, by the end of March 2016, and it looks like it will all go toward Mazda production to satisfy growing demand for Skyactiv vehciles. The Mexican plant's opening will be the return of Mazda manufacturing to North America, after Mazda6 production was moved back to Japan last year.
More good news for the company is that it projects 10 billion yen ($114 million) in net income for the financial year that will end in March. That would be a welcome turnaround from the 100-billion-yen loss in the previous financial year, part of a series of three annual losses in a four-year span.
You'll find the press release with the factory update below.
Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race Scion FR-S [w/video]
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Toyota has been hosting its Pro/Celebrity race at the Toyota Grand Prix on Long Beach since 1977. The charity event, which has raised millions of dollars over the years, traditionally pits Hollywood celebrities against professional athletes (including race car drivers) on the full Grand Prix course in modified street vehicles. The short, sprint-style race is popular with the crowds as the amateur drivers race uninhibited - the result is an action-packed race with plenty of excitement and automotive... er... carnage.
Over the decades, the drivers have raced a variety of Toyota products including last year's front-wheel-drive Scion tC. But this year, Toyota announced at the Chicago Auto Show that the new rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S would be stepping up to the plate. The good news only became better when Toyota Motorsports invited us out to Southern California's Willow Springs Raceway (the same circuit where the drivers train and practice) to be one of the first behind the wheel.

Toyota settles complaints with states Attorneys General for $29 million
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Toyota announced today that it has reached a settlement with the Attorneys General of 29 states and one US territory that will resolve their complaints relating to recalls performed by the automaker from 2005-2010, including those related to sticky accelerators and malfunctioning floor mats that may have contributed to cases of unintended acceleration.
The settlement includes a payout of $29 million to be divided among the states and US territory, as well as a commitment from Toyota "to take steps to make vehicle information more easily accessible to consumers to help them operate their vehicles safely and make more informed choices." The settlement also has Toyota continuing its rapid-response service teams and quality field offices that were put in place shortly after the largest of the recalls from 2010, as well as a "range of customer care amenities for owners of vehicles subject to certain recalls," though the press release below isn't specific about what those amenities might be.
This settlement marks the second major step in the last few months that Toyota has taken to settle legal disputes surrounding the unintended acceleration recalls, the first being a $1.4 billion settlement to address economic loss suffered by owners of current and past Toyota vehicles that may have lost value on account of these recalls.
