Here is the most desirable of all the 4Runners; the 1985 with fuel injection and a solid front axle!  Just get on YouTube and search 4runners and see how many with carburetors bog down!  If you are serious about off roading than obviously the solid front axle is the way to go.  


I would love to keep this but I found a replacement for my 92 Accord wagon which gets much better gas mileage.  This is such a great platform for whatever you want to build.  It is rough around the edges as you can see from the pictures, but overall it is in pretty good shape.  You can tell it has been a Colorado vehicle since the rust is minimal.  There is rust around the rear wheel wells, but that is the worst of it.  

It runs a bit rough and I'm not sure why.  When I test drove it it would die when I would slow down to turn a corner.  The guy I bought it from suspects the distributor. He also said that it doesn't do this once it is warmed up.  I haven't confirmed this so bid accordingly.   The check engine light goes on and off intermittently.  It starts right up without any smoke or bad noises.  It stops well and steers well but as you can see from the photos it needs tires.  You were going to replace the tires anyway when you added the lift kit, right?   The rear power window works with both the inside switch as well as the key in the door.  Glass is in pretty good shape although the latch on the sunroof should be replaced.  

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.  PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING OR MAKING AN OFFER!  As you can see in my feedback some jerk left negative feedback when all he had to do was clarify some things with me before he bid.  I will do my best to answer any questions that you have.  This vehicle has a clean Colorado title.  I will be leaving town June 25th - July 7 so plan on arranging shipping prior.  If you need to wait to pick it up or have it delivered we can certainly discuss that as a possibility.  Thanks for looking and enjoy the auction!

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.

Toyota gives a free RAV4 to 50-millionth customer [w/video]

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

Not surprisingly, the 50-millionth Toyota product sold in the US was a Camry, but Toyota had a big surprise in store for Michael Dee, the buyer of said milestone vehicle. Toyota group vice president Bill Fay showed up at Dee's house to not only personally thank him for the purchase, but also completely paid off that brand new Camry, presenting the owner with a clear title.
But that wasn't all. As you can tell from the image above, Fay had one more trick up his sleeve. The group VP brought along a brand new 2013 Toyota RAV4, which was also presented to Dee in appreciation. The best part is that Dee's genuine amazement was all caught on video, which is posted below.

Scion iA and iM rolled into Yaris and Corolla lineups for 2017

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The Scion brand may be going away, but most of its cars (sorry, tC) are living on. We'll see the 2017 Toyota 86 (nee Scion FR-S) at the New York Auto Show next week, and the automaker already confirmed that the Scion iA and iM will be rebadged as Toyotas. But instead of standing on their own, the former Scions will be rolled into existing model lines. "Yaris iA" and "Corolla iM" will be the official names of the cars, effective for 2017. It's a smart move, paring the relatively new Scion nameplates with well-known, existing Toyota monikers. Scion spokeswoman Nancy Hubbell tells Autoblog that the iA already exists as the Yaris in the Canadian and Mexican markets, so "that connection was already there." Plus, it's better for marketing. The combination of the two vehicles all under the Yaris nameplate means Toyota can focus its advertising dollars on one vehicle line, simply saying that you can now have the Yaris as a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback. "The same goes with Corolla," Hubbell explains. She says the existing Toyota sedan and the Scion iM "paired really well," and again, it means Toyota can advertise the Corolla as having two body styles moving forward. There are benefits from a sales perspective, too. Never mind that Scion division sales were already included in Toyota's overall numbers – calling the new cars Yaris iA and Corolla iM means the company won't have to report these cars individual sales separately. It's like when Toyota made the Matrix – its technical name was Corolla Matrix, so its individual sales didn't have to be broken out. That means an extra boost in overall numbers for the Yaris and Corolla, even if the cars would have been reported under Toyota's numbers had they kept their Scion badges. View 18 Photos Related Video:
