1993 Toyota 4 Runner is in great working condition overall.

(( I have the CAR FAX report available upon request))

The Bad: check with me to see if I have already fixed this problem after I post this ad.
It has a sensor (02 or throttle position sensor) that is out and causing it to bog down.

The Good:
Everything else!
Paint - partly repainted. Minor rust under two front doors but NOT rusted through.
Under carriage - good, no rust except small amount to surface rust on back axle. 
Drivability - great for it's age except the sensor problem above.
Reliability - good, can be driven anywhere.
Interior - wear to the drivers seat - could be fixed.
Exterior - some dents here and there but overall straight - no wrecks. 
Frame - good solid, not bent
Suspension - good, new shocks front and rear, air shocks adjustable in rear.
Control arms and bushings - many replaced, pretty solid driving overall, straight on road, no wobble or pulling.
AC - great
Heat - great
Stereo - stock, with a tape player.

I have fixed or replaced:
Radiator
Timing belt
Hoses all over
Vacuum lines
Rubber gaskets
Other gaskets
Rear main seal
Differential seal
Front bearings
Stabilizer bar/bushings
Air intake
Manifold, head gasket (restored)
Injectors
Spark plugs
Wires and other components.
Transmission service
Brake service
Brake pads (good still)
New BF Goodrich tires
Bumpers - Steel custom made and very strong
Lights (LED) front and rear
Winch (works great)
Switches for lights
Box for light relays all done very well and professionally.
Air horn
Gun safe
Other little things here and there.

This vehicle would be great for a 2nd vehicle or toy. Not recommended for a girl or child that will travel to school. I use it as a 3rd car and drive it when needed for fun. I love to play around with it but need a vehicle to travel in with the family. 
I will either fix the "sensor" problem then sell it later or reduce price to accommodate it. You are also welcome to talk with my personal mechanic here in Houston if needed.

I have many receipts for the work done and know the previous owner. I have the CLEAR title. I have spent over 16K on this vehicle. It's pretty cool and hate to sell it.

Email me if you have any questions.

2014 Toyota 4Runner

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

I recently took the redesigned 2014 Toyota 4Runner for a muddy romp in Pennsylvania. While the mechanical bits and pieces beneath the body-on-frame SUV trudge forward into the new model year with very few tweaks, the truck "receives a rugged new exterior design and interior refinements that add comfort and convenience without sacrificing its hallmark performance capability and excellent value," says the automaker.
A quick visual scan of the 4Runner reveals a new front end with a more "aggressive" and "muscular" appearance (yes, I'm quoting Toyota) that includes new headlights, grille and hood scoop. A roof rack is now standard across all trims, too. While SR5 and Trail grades have a bland color-keyed grille insert that gives the face a monochromatic appearance, the range-topping Limited (shown above and in our gallery) snarls with a silver-plated chin that gives it a bit more character.
New soft-touch surfaces within the cabin provide a more upscale environment and a bright new Optitron instrument panel improves readability and functionality. As before, the SR5 and Trail models arrive with fabric upholstery or optional Softex seats (synthetic leather). Genuine hides are reserved for the Limited trim, which is also fitted with Toyota's unique X-REAS (X-Relative Absorber System) automatic suspension system as standard equipment.

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars

Tue, 20 Nov 2012

Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.
