Rusted frame.
The folding truck option was one of the unadvertised benefits.

Rust. This was a problem on these trucks. Toyota had a recall in which the whole frame was replaced.

There is oil under almost all of the ground of So Cal. Some of it comes to the surface under the ocean, mostly prevalent in Santa Barbara and Carpinteria, but it also seeps from long beach up to Malibu.
But cha can't blame it on big bad companies, it's all mother nature.

Well put Sammy.

What really pisses me off is that everyone who lives here knows the tar has gone WAY down, but you can't get the enviro-wackos to admit it. I drove past Gaviota the last time a pipe leaked - it was easily 3 reporters for every worker, and the oil dissipated immediately. Oil companies get all the blame for the bad and none of the credit for the good.

"Next time you step on a glob of tar on a beach in Santa Barbara County, you can thank the oil companies that it isn't a bigger glob.

The same is true around the world, on other beaches where off-shore oil drilling occurs, say scientists, although Santa Barbara's oil seeps are thought to be among the leakiest.

Natural seepage of hydrocarbons from the ocean floor in the northern Santa Barbara Channel has been significantly reduced by oil production, according to two recently published peer-reviewed articles, one in November's Geology Magazine, the other in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Oceans...

The studies were not funded by oil companies, but rather by the University of California Energy Institute and the U.S. Minerals Management Service, states Luyendyk, responding to the fact that the results favor off-shore oil production and are opposed by some environmentalists."

They hit the panic alarm.
Called out the EPA, fish and game, coast guard, all sorts of enviro clean up crews.
you name it.

A local professor showed up and told them it was natural seepage they instantly his the brakes and told the clean up crews to stop, they didn't want to screw up what is natural :)
