This is a great running 4Runner! The 31 inch tires are less than a year old and are perfect for all of you off roaders. The 4WD works perfect so you never have to worry about getting stuck in the snow. I live in Colorado and have driven it up to the mountains without any worries. The engine and transmission are rebuilt and have less than 150,000 miles on them. There are no leaks on the vehicle. The battery is less than a year old and it has a brand new power steering pump as well.The window visors are just a few months old. It also has a tow package and the wiring is there and ready to plug into your tow harness. The inside is in good condition considering the vehicle's age. Vehicle is equipped with back seat heat. The dash is free of cracks, the headliner is free of tears and the seats and door panels are in good shape. The driver's side seat is ripped on the side (see pictures), but no other rips in the seats or carpet.

There is some rust over both of the rear wheel wells and the front bumper has a dent on the passenger side (see pictures). There is also a small dent and a spot of rust on the rear door panel, also shown in the pictures. The Rear Anti-lock Brake light is on. It has been on since I bought the car in February of this year, but I have not had any issues with the car breaking. The oil gauge does not work on the dash...again was like that. I just check the oil on a regular basis. The air conditioning does not work and I never looked into why, so I can't say what it needs. The heat blows hot and the blower switch works on low and high, but not the middle speed for some reason. These are the only issues with the vehicle.

Like I said, this is a great running vehicle and has been very reliable, as it has been my daily driver. So whether you are looking for a reliable vehicle to get you through the snow, or a vehicle to do some crazy off roading, this is the one for you. Vehicle is located in Colorado and buyer is responsible for shipping. Vehicle is sold as is without warranty, and I reserve the right to sell it locally. Feel free to email me with any further questions I may not have answered. Happy bidding!

Toyota GT86 convertible could debut in March

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

The dates are lining up, now we wait to see how the badges align. Just before the Toyota GT 86/Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ line-up was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show last year, there was a report that Subaru was considering a convertible while Toyota wouldn't even comment on it. That got swapped around when earlier this year the chief engineer on Toyota's side said a convertible was coming, and then a Scion FR-S droptop was confirmed for early 2014.
Autocar now reports that the Toyota GT 86 convertible will make its first appearance at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in March. In a car whose specs like weight, packaging, horsepower and center of gravity were all tightly controlled to get the most from the least, the changes necessitated by chopping the roof could make this a very different car. It's said to employ a fabric roof to keep a "small" weight gain check, and the suspension will be softened to work more harmoniously with the decreased body stiffness. And somewhere in all that the back seat and trunk space will need to take a hit.
In other news, Autocar says the hi-po GT 86 with some kind of capacitor system instead of batteries is being worked on for 2015.

Scion pondering move upmarket?

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Scion is simultaneously celebrating its ten-year anniversary with the 10 Series models and trying to figure out what to do with itself over the next ten years. Once a go-to consideration for young, first-time buyers who wanted something cool and different, in 2013 it has a model everyone is still talking about in the FR-S, a model few are still talking about in the iQ, and three models in between in the tC, xB and xD that make everyone wonder, "What happened?"
Automotive News spoke to Toyota's North American CEO, Jim Lentz - he was the VP in charge of Scion when it launched - about the options, and Lentz said one of them could be a move upmarket to challenge the established luxury brands that are moving downmarket. "There's going to be a big need in the $25,000 range for a fun-to-drive, nice-looking, value-oriented product," he said, and the FR-S, which starts at $25,255, could provide the platform for Scion to climb up a notch or two in price and perception. An idea like this could conceivably work in tandem with a proposal to move entry-level Scion products over to the Toyota brand - but remember, this is all just ideas on a whiteboard at the moment.
As opposed to an "entry-luxury fighter," the brand could swing back to the other option that was considered when it was formed, directly challenging the Korean makes that have usurped its cachet with first-time buyers. Lentz said Scion could go either way, and the tone of the piece seems to indicate that the final direction is still a ways away from being resolved.

Lost power in a winter storm? Just hook up a Toyota Prius like this guy did

Thu, Jan 9 2014

The Toyota Prius' battery pack just got something like a five-star rating from a truly seasoned professional – a 50-year aircraft technician. Bob Osemlak, who'd served more than three of those five decades with the Canadian Air Force, brought electricity back to his home in December during a heavy ice storm thanks to his gas-electric car. His ingenuity allowed him to turn on lights, furnace, refrigerator and the TV. The Thornhill, Ontario resident lost power for nearly a day on December 21 – not nearly as much as millions of other people hit by the recent storm - and so he still set about using his Prius for backup power, according to EV World. His ingenuity allowed him to turn on lights, furnace, refrigerator and the TV. Being an aircraft technician for so long brought Osemlak the ability to home-brew his V2H set-up that he urges other people to avoid, for safety reasons. He had planned for a potential power outage by installing an outlet on his furnace and, when the storm struck, he ran a cord through the basement window to the car. During the nine hours Osemlak used his Prius for backup power, the car's fuel gauge only reduced less than one bar, or roughly the equivalent of a gallon of gasoline. It wasn't the first time Osemlak had played with his vehicle. In the 1960s, while stationed in Winnepeg, Manitoba, he created a car starter. Every hour, the car would start up and run for 10 minutes to avoid being frozen solid in frigid winter temperatures.
