This is an interesting vintage Toyota repair manual called How to keep your Toyota Pickup alive…

Ivan “Ironman” Stewart has been my favorite driver since I first discovered off road racing in the 80’s…

Since the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 is happening this week I think this is a fitting post for today.  My friend just forwarded this link to a Three-Time Mexican 1000 Finishing truck.

Do you remember the Mickey Thompson stadium off road racing series that travelled across the nation bringing short course off road racing to thousands of fans?

Bring A Trailer has been featuring some awesome 4×4’s for sale lately, like the 1969 Ford Bronco that we featured yesterday. Today, they brought us this mint 1988 Toyota SR5 Extra Cab pickup with only 8289 original miles! The original owners son is selling it for his father for health reasons. While you may have some sticker shock after hearing the $12,500 asking price, it seems very reasonable when you consider that most 1988 Toyota trucks have a rusted out frame and body or have been modifed and pounded on. This even has the original dash mat! There is more information on the Yotatech site and the owner has a ton more photos here.

Do you remember the Cal Wells prepared Toyota factory off road race trucks in the Mickey Thompson MTEG stadium races? We are looking for more photos of the trucks. Ivan Stewart, Robby Gordon, Butch Acerio and others. Can you help us?

While the PPI prepared factory Toyota race trucks are often associated with Ivan “Ironman” Stewart, this one is driven by Frank “Butch” Arciero Jr. Any idea on what the light on the passengers windshield frame is for? I assume it is a light?
