Since its May 2010 launch, 3867 Rukuses have been sold in Australia. For comparison, Toyota regularly shifts more than 3000 Corollas per month. So so Sad that the Rukus didn't take off as they had hoped for. A large number of these sales were to people who had never previously considered a Toyota, me including 😉 Long live Toyota Rukus.!!!!!

You want to know something funny, I was going for a new job back in November 2017 & at the job interview I decided to be true to myself, & i said honestly " I'm not dead yet " you want to know the good news, I got the job & I'm still there just like i am still here my friend.

I dislike Tailgater's myself, especially in my baby since it is a limited edition. What i do & i highly recommend to everyone is letting the impatient & the not so considerate pass, if safe to do so stay in the left hand lane if you are not over taking as i see many times watching Dash cam videos & Taking a interstate road trip myself of late. Driver's driving in the right hand lane & not overtaking. I am seriously wanting a rear dash cam video as everybody is now having one. Funny thing I took an interstate road trip 3 weeks ago Travelling from Cairns Far North Queensland to Hervey Bay QLD, to Singleton NSW to Crookwell / Goulburn NSW & to tell you the truth, I wasn't leaving Cairns QLD, without my " BLUES ON BOARD STICKER ON THE REAR BUMPER " 😉

Oh Yes, oh how we miss the good old days & wish to god that you were here 😉 TOYOTA we just can't live without you.!!

If only he had put on the handbrake 😉 That's me if my car goes over the cliff 😉

If you must know what is sad, I haven't seen this video in such a long time, They should definitely show more video's like this. It show's how much our cars really mean to us, not just a piece of metal 😉

Hey thanks for letting me & everyone know. for as long as i can remember i have yearned for the companionship of other Rukus enthusiast like yourself, But in saying that i haven't logged into my Facebook for quite a while & i probably needed something a little special to get me back. I am definitely interested. Appreciate the call in. They may no longer produce The Toyota Rukus, but i can honestly say that i am still here after 8 years & hope to still be here in another 8 years. It has been a hell of a road trip, God knows how many times my baby has been up & down the coast, This video is only a small sample compared to what i have experienced & cherished in the 8 wonderful & memorable years of owning a Toyota Rukus Halo 2011. Thank you TRD Rukus, Hope to see you soon my friend. Happy & Safe Driving

Att - TRD Rukus, Thank you so much my friend for accepting me as part of your " Rukus Australia Group on Facebook ". means a lot. When i first laid eyes's on a Rukus i was completely blown away, when i think back all those years i still remember the feeling. To me this is more than just a car, or a piece of metal & don't forget plastic, it's apart of me now, it represents me as a human being, Sadly i never have owned a car of my own it has always been other peoples or family members, so this is the very first car that i have called my own. I have always been about being unique & being who you are. What brings a smile to my face is when people give me the thumbs up that always makes my day & seeing the little kiddies smile that is what keeps me going. I just purchased a very special sticker for the rear of my boxy babe found it on E-Bay in which i like to get a lot of my car needs from, since the new toy story movie came out i thought i would get something that represents in a certain way. A few years back i used to call my boxy babe My ToyBox thought it was appropriate at the time, that was before i got my beloved Tiger's. So Thank you for accepting my membership my friend.

Video: Toyota | Building Camry Brick by Brick
Rukus Son commented on Toyota Owners Club's video in Toyota Australia Videos
Lets see them build this on Lego Masters 🙂 -
I don't own a Rav4 but in my Rukus i have placed my Dash Cam on the right side, just tucked in behind the mirror, as long as it is not obstructing your view.

Changes in Shell V-Power?
Rukus Son replied to Wixy's topic in General Toyota & Other Car Discussions
Fuel prices in Cairns is around the $1.57 & that's just for unleaded. If you fill up at a PUMA you will receive a 4c off if you are a RACQ member. No need for those 4c off shopping dockets, the starting price is $1.55 so you get it for $1.51. But the funny thing was the station down the road was selling for a low $1.49 but you had to line up and the line was down the street. I would highly recommend downloading the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pineconesoft.petrolspy this will help you guys get the best deal. God knows we all need a helping hand.

Hey guys & Gals I am back
Yep still driving the boxy babe. It's been a long time i know but I would love to catch up with you all. I'm back living in Cairns. Would dearly love to catch up with any Rukus owners in Cairns or beyond.
hey check this out, arrived at work early one morning was just about to put the car cover on when i spotted a couple of flies making out on the roof. Try not too laugh
they christened if before i did.

hahaha ;-) for some strange reason i always thought a hatch back was 3 doors. A guy that I used to work with would always tease me & he knew how to get me going. I guess i will just have to come to terms with it being called a Roo Cuss Hatchback......... God Help Me......................................
-
Hi Alec, I have owned my Rukus Halo for 6 years now & never would i dream of calling it a Roo Cuss, what i do get a little upset is when people call it a Hatchback Gggrrr.... its more than just a hatchback, definitely with lots of noise ;-)

Finally got my new Rostra Custom LED Daytime Running Light Kit /11-13 Scion xB fitted on Thursday 20/04/17. I have waited oh so long for these, to me it seems like a dream, maybe because i had to wait so long. They look so amazing & I couldn't be happier. Had the bumper re painted. Wanted to share with you guys. In life you must do what makes you happy right :-)

Please Check out my Best Buddies Video that he made in Tribute to my Toyota Rukus Halo

Finally got around to making my Video hope you all enjoy it.!!

first of all i am very much saddened that you have parted with your Rukus & it also disappoints me & i think everybody else once people know the truth. but if you were not happy then you did what you had to do. i thought we were all in this together, standing by each other even in amongst all the jokes & humiliation that we seem to cop every now & again. well since i have modified my boxy babe i can honestly say i wouldn't trade mine not for anything. if anyone is going to say goodbye it will be my box. can't believe my Box will be 4 years old this Month, where has the time gone. i am so happy to be back as if you guys were wondering where have i been. i needed to be closer to my family. The really sad note is & i not wish to rave on but i will be honest & upfront with you guys as i have always been. When i was driving in Cairns people used to laugh & point and everything else for that matter. now that i have finally said goodbye to Cairns i can say that i am home where my heart belongs. now the people here have showed me much respect & telling me how much they love my Box. sometimes i feel like i am the Bandit but without the Trans Am. Every where i go people give me the thumbs up, beep their horn, take pics & Video. it has been a great ride with my Toyota Rukus Halo & i wouldn't trade that for the world. David i am so happy for you for changing your wheels but i do hope it was a Toyota =]
-
The funny thing is mine is already a limited edition but i didn't expect for you guys to join me so soon =]
-
No news is good news. Was informed back in 2013 that Toyota were no longer making Rukus so i guess the xB was next on the list.

From the album: " My Baby "
Found out my new 70' TV was way too big to fit into the Box, it was worth a try =]
Yep still driving the boxy babe. It's been a long time i know but I would love to catch up with you all. I'm back living in Cairns. Would dearly love to catch up with any Rukus owners in Cairns or beyond.
