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

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.

2014 Toyota Highlander

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

Midsize crossovers like the Toyota Highlander tend to play a thankless role in the life of today's modern family.
That's really too bad. With the ability to hold several hyperactive kids and tons of cargo while keeping everyone safe and comfortable in all kinds of climate conditions day in and day out, they're true heroes in the lives of hundreds of thousands of families across the country. Yet their car-apathetic owners often immediately forget about them as soon as their work is done. And nearly all midsize crossovers are thoroughly ignored by enthusiasts whose eyes begin to glaze over at first mention of the phrase "third row."
Toyota is looking to soften the blow somewhat by giving its midsize crossover, the Highlander, a big redesign for the 2014 model year. With a bold new look, updated suspension and a refreshed interior focused on comfort and convenience, Toyota aims to make the Highlander sportier to drive and more striking in appearance, because, as the marketing team explains, "families are going places and they want to get there in style."

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
