1999 Toyota 4Runner has a brand new 2.2 liter Kubota V-2203 direct injection engine installed. Has about 4k miles on the swap. Runs perfect, had a brand new automatic transmission replaced in the truck 10,000 miles before the swap was done, so has roughly 14,000 miles on the tranny now. *(I have 5 speed manual swap avail, see below)* The tranny has been modified to be shifted manually now. No, there is no clutch, it is still the new automatic trans, you just move the gear shifter from 1st, to 2nd, to D, then OD. Runs down the freeway at 70 mph and gets about 40+ miles a gallon. The best I've gotten from a tank was 49 miles a gallon. You can google Kubota V-2203 engine, you will see why I chose this of all options to choose for a good swap. It is used by John Deere, Bobcat,Carrier, Kohler Gensets...ect. They are a "Continuous Duty" engine built to run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Everything on the engine is mechanical, the simplicity of these engines are fully responsible for how long they run. They are typically pulled out of service on reefer trucks with over 30,000 hours of run time, if you averaged 40 miles an hour of driving speed, thats almost 2 million miles of service! From the manufacture, glow plugs are only required in sub artic conditions, negative -32 degrees. There is a set on the head, installed and new, but never had power to them. Last winter I started it at just below freezing after sitting all night long outside, and fired right up instantly, as if it were 90 degrees out. I do have listed for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction early.
***INCLUDED WITH BUY IT NOW***
I have a very nice 5 speed 4x4 factory Toyota transmission, with T-Case, pedal assy, slave cylinder, with slave master, interior center console trim, all with 45k miles on it, came from 3.4 V6. new bosch clutch kit with throw out bearing. And if bought, and paid in full, will install free of charge, and will have it completed within 7 days of payment received, or I will just give you all of it, if you wanted to sell it, and keep it an automatic. Probably worth $2k as a complete swap for someone looking. Will also deliver to anywhere on the West 1/2 of the United States free of charge. Feel free to email me with any ?'s at Craig.craig11@yahoo.com These are the "Buy It Now" price only offers. Thanks for looking,
The outside of the truck is in nice shape, paint shines up still really well. interior is really nice, clean with small rip in drivers side seat seam. All lights, airbag system, new tires. 4x4 works. has aftermarket oil and boost gauge. I'm going to get some videos up soon of driving in traffic so you can see how well it performs. The exhaust in the video sounds a lot louder than it really is in perfect. Really quiet in the truck driving.

Toyota delves into the history of its Land Cruiser
Fri, 06 Sep 2013One of the longest-produced, most widely distributed vehicles in all of automotive history is also one of its most rugged: the Toyota Land Cruiser. With 60 years of continuous production, 14 different model lines and thousands of variations of the Jeep-like sports utility vehicle, the Land Cruiser became a success worldwide and developed a cult following among enthusiasts here in the US.
We'll be the first to admit that tracing the vehicle's lineage from its humble beginnings as a prototype for Japan's National Police Reserve in 1951 to what it is today isn't an easy task, especially when one considers that the types of Land Cruisers produced traditionally have varied from market to market. For example, the Land Cruiser sold in the US is very different from the US-only 40 series Land Cruiser-inspired FJ Cruiser, which is itself different from the Land Cruiser Prado sold in other world markets.
To cover the Land Cruiser's sixty-plus year history from start to present, someone over at Toyota UK was thoughtful enough to devote a plus-size blog post to it. It's worth a read if you have a spare 10 or 15 minutes - and even if you don't, you can check out our historical gallery above. Enjoy!
Italian coachbuilder wraps a modern-day Citroen van in a retro skin
Tue, Oct 6 2020Italian coachbuilder Caselani resurrected an obscure, often-forgotten model from Citroen's past to offer van buyers an additional retro-styled option. Called Type HG, it's based on the current-generation Citroen Jumpy. One of the French carmaker's best-known vintage vans is the Type H, which was built with only minor changes from 1947 to 1981. It's aged into a sought-after classic that's popular as a food truck and as a camper from Paris to Sydney. Few realize Citroen planned to release a smaller model named Type G which looked almost exactly like the H but used an air-cooled flat-twin engine shared with the 2CV. Several prototypes were made, but the project was canned in favor of the 2CV-based, nine-horsepower AU van released in 1951. It's this little-known prototype that only exists in Citroen's official heritage collection and in the minds of the most indoctrinated French car enthusiasts that Caselani chose to bring into the 21st century. And, because the Type G (shown below) was a shrunken copy of the Type H from a design standpoint, making a body kit that fits the Citroen Jumpy was relatively simple. Caselani liberally borrowed styling cues from its modern version of the Type H, which is based on the larger Citroen Jumper sold as the Ram ProMaster in the United States. It adds a new-look front end with a vertical grille, chromed chevrons, and round headlights positioned as far out of the body as regulations permit, corrugated body panels, and a redesigned rear end. Whitewall tires are optionally available. Caselani offers the Type HG as a passenger van, a crew-cab van, and a panel van. Pricing starts at 29,400 euros before taxes are factored in, a sum that represents about $35,000 and that corresponds to a short-wheelbase panel model powered by a 100-horsepower, four-cylinder turbodiesel engine. Alternatively, motorists who already own a Jumpy can purchase the transformation kit on its own for 14,800 euros (about $17,500). For added peace of mind, Caselani pointed out the conversion was created with Citroen's input, and the brand authorized the kit. We know what you're thinking: what on earth is a Jumpy? Glad you asked! It's a van positioned in the middle of Citroen's commercial range. It slots between the Berlingo, which competes in the same segment as the Ford Transit Connect, and the Jumper, which is marketed as an alternative to the Ford Transit.
2014 Toyota 4Runner revealed at Stagecoach Music Festival
Sat, 27 Apr 2013Toyota has just pulled the sheet off its updated 2014 4Runner at the 2013 Stagecoach Music Festival near Palm Springs, California. Toyota is the title sponsor at the festival, and claims that this is the first ever global reveal of a new automobile at a major music festival. We're also guessing this is the first time that the 4Runner has seen duty inside what looks like a vintage circus act's cage.
We can see from the photos (and the earlier teaser images) that the body-on-frame SUV has received a freshened look with new smoked light fixtures front and rear, along with a reworked front fascia and grille. The profile view seems largely unchanged, though there are new wheel patterns on offer.
The 4Runner will continue to be offered in three trims, including SR5, more luxurious Limited, and off-road-ready Trail specification. Both 4x2 and both part- and full-time 4x4 models will continue to be available, all will be powered by the same 4.0-liter 270-horsepower V6 and five-speed automatic as last year.
