While driving around the Pacific Northwest last week, looking at boats, we spotted this nice, mid-1990s Toyota 4×4 Pickup. I don’t know anything about it except that it looks clean and stock. For a nearly 20-year-old Toyota 4×4, that’s saying something.

The other interesting thing is that it’s located in Point Roberts, an odd little little piece of Washington state that’s connected to Canada, instead of the rest of the United States. The only way to get to this 4-square-mile hamlet, with its own border crossing, is to drive through our neighbor to the north or take a boat.

If you’re interested in the truck, the number’s on the windshield. I posted another picture and a map after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »


Have you ever dreamed of stepping into a time machine and heading back to the 80s for a vintage Japanese truck? Well, it looks like someone has already figured this out, brought back a 1st generation Toyota 4Runner SR5 from 1985, and put it on ebay.

It’s a sub-100k-mile example with a 5-speed manual transmission, a 22RE, EFI (fuel injected) engine, and a solid front axle. The interior features SR5 seat graphics, a fun-looking set of altimeter and tilt gauges, and a factory pop-up sunroof and roll-cage. Of course, the truck also features a removable fiberglass top, a feature exclusive to the first generation model.

Let’s here it for time machine operators! I’ve never seen one this clean, this original, and this well-documented. If you don’t have a time machine of your own, you’ve got until tomorrow (Wednesday, 8pm PST) to place your bid. The high-water mark currently stands at $15,500.

Update: Sold for $17,400.
