1985 solid front axle with efi. This is a rust free California 4runner with a straight unmolested body, a fresh rebuild with less than 1000 miles using an Engnbldr street rv head and cam (details below) The exterior has been bed lined with Al's liner which works well on trails to protect the body as well as being great for protection from anything else. The truck will come without fog lights unless specified. Truck rides on some older Dunlop 31x10.50 with 40% tread on Rock Crawler steelies  and with the engine combo can cruise at 75 all day and get 20 mpg on 91 octane. I recently rebuilt the knuckles with a Marlin kit tht came with HD seals and koyo bearings. Drivetrain is basically stock with the exemption of the street rv setup. The interior is a 7/10 with some general wear and tear in the cargo area. Dash is perfect with no cracks and inclinometer works perfect including the light. The right front amber light is cracked and there is a small dent in the right fender where the door meets and I've repaired the bed liner in several places and the color is slightly off but hardly noticeable. I live in a temperate climate and do not have the a/c belt hooked up and would be easy for someone to figure out. This truck runs, drives and stops straight as an arrow and feels solid as a rock with no rattles  I would not hesitate to get in right now as it sits and drive to the far reaches of the earth and back home. There is room to sleep in the back and room for plenty of gear and everything that should work does. This truck has just passed California emissions and has a two year current registration as of yesterday June 19. I want this truck to go to a good home where it will be loved and not hacked like every other classic yota, if you want to hack it, go find another truck, this one is too nice for you. 


Engine details: 
New injectors and all tune up parts including air filter
I had all machine work done by a shop that builds porsche race engines and not one detail got overlooked during this build. 
I built it on a seasoned 22r block using NPR pistons and rings (oem) at .020" over using the type of hone specified by Toyota on a sunnen grinder.
Hot tanked block and painted chevy orange (looks sweet)
Line bore was checked and honed
Crank spec'd near the low end of factory spec and was polished
Rods were reconditioned with new small end manganese bronze bushings
ACL std. Size Alu-Glide big end bearings and Clevite std. Sized main bearings
Engnbldr gasket kit with all viton seals (no leaks of you run synthetics) 
Head gasket copper coated as well as all coolant gaskets. 
Broken in with Brad Penn 30w break in oil and changed at 500. Now has Brad Penn standard 30w at 900 miles
Engine built with engnbldr "steel rail" timing kit to prevent chain slappage through the head. 
This engine was built to last and will run trouble free for hundreds of thousands of miles if taken care of. 
I did not plan on selling my truck and built and treated it as such. Trans has fresh gl-5 80w90 in it as does the t case. The trans is a W56-C from a later model with the cast iron bearing carrier as opposed to the weak early aluminum one that cracks. It shifts butter smooth and makes no noise. 4WD works flawlessly as well. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I am also willing to show truck if requested. I probably miss a few things and have described this truck as accurately as possible. Good luck bidding

Toyota offered $146.5 million to build Lexus ES in Kentucky

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

Toyota posted a media advisory yesterday saying that Akio Toyoda, president of Toyota, and Jim Lentz, CEO of Toyota North America, would be making a production announcement tomorrow in New York City, and Automotive News reports that the automaker will be announcing a plan to domestically produce the Lexus ES. According to the report, numerous plants are competing to build the ES in North America, and the State of Kentucky has offered the automaker up to $146.5 million to build the luxury sedan at the Georgetown, KY assembly plant.
If Georgetown gets the ES, which has been built in Japan since its debut in 1989, it would be built alongside the Toyota Camry, which is somewhat ironic since in our review of the 2013 Lexus ES350, we wrote that this ES finally says "goodbye to its Camry roots." In order to get the whole amount offered, the article states that Toyota would have to invest $531.2 million and hire 570 full-time workers at the plant, which doesn't sound all that unreasonable since the plant would require an additional 50,000 units of annual production, not to mention the fact that the Georgetown facility is already at its capacity for building the Camry.

HQ move based on study, not pitch from Gov. Perry, Toyota says

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

Toyota's surprising announcement on Monday that it will move its North American headquarters from Torrance, CA location to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX is allegedly not due to any political wrangling from the state's Republican governor, Rick Perry.
Perry (above) has been up front in his aggressive pursuit of businesses and jobs for Texas, traveling to California, Missouri, Illinois and New York to tempt corporations to his state. And it's not just about the promise of much lower taxes, a Perry spokesman reminds Automotive News that the state boasts, "a workforce that is skilled and ready to do any job."
For his part, Jim Lentz, Toyota's North American CEO said Plano was chosen through an internal process, with the location helped by its proximity to the company's massive pickup factory in San Antonio rather than any campaigning from the governor.

Toyota recalling 20k 2014 and 2015 cars and CUVs with 3.5L engines

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

Toyota has announced a recall of roughly 20,000 vehicles covering the 2014 Avalon, Camry, Highlander (pictured) and Sienna, as well as the 2015 Lexus RX luxury crossover. The affected vehicles are all powered the 2GR-FE engine, which in layman's terms, is Toyota's well-regarded 3.5-liter V6.
According to Toyota's statement, a parts supplier might not have welded "the end cap on the right-hand fuel delivery pipe in the engine compartment" correctly, meaning fuel could leak. Leaking fuel, of course, increases the chance of an engine fire. That said, no fires, crashes or injuries have been reported due to the issue.
Owners will be notified to report to dealers, where techs will check the fuel delivery pipe and fit a replacement part as necessary.
