Peon, in my experience that sulphur smell come from the air filter being less than clean. I have seen 2 in 1 of my accounts that experienced that exact problem. Cleaned the filter and the smell disappeared.
As far as the IC Toyota goes, it's a solid truck- period. I've worked for Alis Chalmers, Clark, and Crown/Doosan. The latter for 20 years now. I have a customer I tell to purchase Toyotas ( from a competitor and IC only) because I know how they tear up trucks. All electrics are Crown, and the IC's are Toyota. They're a 24/5 operation and demand tough trucks. Some IC's have 18,000hrs with no problems. They retired a 5 series with 26,000 hrs. I think Toyota slacked a little on the quality of the accessories, and hardware on the 8 series, however as previously pointed out, the powertrain is proven and solid. By the way, they also have some Crowns with 16,000 + hrs and no problems. ( sorry, had to plug the Crown as well )

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
