I bought the cruiser in November of 2013 and have loved every minute of it. We have taken it on vacations throughout Oregon and Washington. We have pulled our camping trailer around with it. I ran it everyday in the last snowstorm we had in the area (yes I had to work while everyone else played). It has been a great truck for us and we will miss it. This was also my daily driver so it is no stranger to being used daily.

We intended on keeping it but my wife decided she wanted a vehicle that had a third row for taking other peoples kids around town. So the cruiser is the vehicle that gets to find a new home. 

Alright here is the breakdown of good/bad/ugly/etc...

I have taken it in for regular maintenance (oil changes and such). I have had the AC converted to a newer refrigerant. I put in a stereo with bluetooth (I drive a lot and once you get used to that type of system its hard to get away from it). I also replaced the stock antenna with a whip antenna that has a plug for a cb on it. The new antenna fits right into the old antenna whole so it actually looks like it belongs there. This means you can attach a cb and not have to add an additional antenna to the rig. I replaced the gas struts in the back (would not even hold the window open when I got it). I also redid the water lines in the back window (washer fluid) because they had cracked and were leaking fluid all over the inside of the back window door. 

The prior owner put a second battery into the back (fairly common addition if you intend to use it as an expedition rig/camping rig). He was also responsible for adding the second set of lights on the roof rack. 

Other than that the rig is stock as far as I can tell. The interior is clean compared with what I have seen of other rigs in the price range and it was by far the best under 10k when I bought it. The engine runs great and I have never had issues with power or starting. 

There are a few quirks of these rigs related to the fuel and temp gauges. Every so often you will find the fuel and temp gauges spike all the way to the red (temp) and all the way full on the fuel. It freaked me out the first time and I almost towed the vehicle but quickly realized that there wasn't really a temp issue. It is an electrical issue within the gauge. If you are truly interested there are blog posts out there about fixing/changing the gauges to make it less annoying. Overall the fuel gauge shows full when full. then runs down to empty by the time you run through about half the tank.

The transmission has a tendency to drop into reverse hard on occasion. I am not sure why this happens but wanted to give full disclosure on anything I noticed wrong with the truck. 

Rust. This truck has a very clean exterior (not perfect by any stretch of the imagination). It does have a crunched spot on the rear passenger side. You can clearly see it in the photos. There is almost zero rust on the exterior and very little underneath the truck. 

The rack, jack and lights all stay. I also have a Hi-Lift recovery bag with a bunch of fun toys inside (it stays with the rig)

I have a clean title in hand. I will not ship the car and I don't even care if you mom really needs a land cruiser. I only accept cash. I won't take a check or anything similar. 

I hope it goes to a good home; someone that can take it out and play often.

Unifor may establish local union for Toyota's Canadian plants

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

Union tactics apparently translate across borders, as Canada's Unifor may take inspiration from the United Auto Workers' recent move at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, and establish a local for the Toyota factories in Cambridge and Woodstock.
Unifor last attempted to organize the workers at the two factories, which are responsible for production of the Toyota Corolla (above), RAV4 and Lexus RX back in April, but that vote was eventually delayed. According to that report, 3,000 of the two plants' 7,500 employees signed union cards, but that apparently wasn't enough for Unifor to force a vote.
Because of this, the union is looking at the local approach, like what the UAW is attempting with VW.

Toyota issues stop sale on 6 key models over seat fabrics; recall possible? [UPDATE]

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Toyota has issued a stop-sale order on six of its core models due to concerns about the flammability of certain seat fabrics. The issue rests not with the cloth and leather covers themselves, but with a piece of seat heater beneath them that fails to meet US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for flame retardancy.
There have been no reports of fires or injuries from the affected cars, which include some of Toyota's biggest volume sellers. 2013 and 2014 Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon and Sienna models equipped with heated seats are included in the stop-sale, as are 2014 Tundra pickups and Corolla sedans. The exact number of vehicles with the non-compliant materials are still being tabulated, according to The Detroit Free Press.
According to a Toyota spokesman, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, although it remains to be seen if a recall will be issued. Outside of a full recall, though, it's unclear how Toyota will deal with vehicles equipped with the flammable materials that have already found homes.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
