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.

Meet the Greenest and Meanest vehicles of 2016
Wed, Jan 27 2016If you've been keeping track, you won't be surprised with the number one entry in this year's list of greenest cars from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). In fact, the top three spots on the 2016 list are all the same as they were in 2015. After that, things get interesting. For one thing, this is the first Greenest list that doesn't have any purely internal combustion engine powertrain on it. Hybrids, yes, but if you want to be one of the top 12 greenest cars this year, you'd better have some sort of electric angle. ACEEE says that the conventional, gas-powered Smart Fortwo and Chevrolet Spark just missed the cut. In a statement, ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan said, "The 2016 scores are in, and plug-in electric vehicles are outpacing all other vehicle offerings in terms of environmental friendliness." Like last year, one of the noticeable vehicles missing from the green list is the Tesla Model S. One reason? ACEEE takes curb weight into account (lighter is better), and the Model S is a heavy beast. The ACEEE doesn't just look at the clean side of the ledger. It also puts out a "meanest" list. These are the vehicles that pollute the most, not only from their tailpipes, but also any pollution created during the entire manufacturing process, from mining the raw materials to the energy used to produce the vehicle at the factory. The entire list, from greenest to meanest, is done using a "cradle to grave" analysis. You can see how the ACEEE determines its rankings here, explore the entire greenest cars site here, or click through our galleries to see which vehicles are extra green (above) or extra mean (below) this year. 12: Mercedes-Benz GL550 4MATIC View 12 Photos More Electric Cars than Ever on Greenest Vehicles List Electric Vehicles Nab 9 out of Top 12 Spots in ACEEE's Environmental Vehicle Rankings Washington, DC: Despite a tumultuous year for the automotive industry, manufacturers have continued to offer exciting technology options for a growing vehicle market. Today at greenercars.org, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) released its 19th annual comprehensive environmental ratings for vehicles. The following vehicles comprise the Greenest List for 2016: Greenest Score 1. Mercedes-Benz Smart ForTwo Electric Drive Convertible / Coupe 63 2. Chevrolet Spark EV 63 3. Fiat 500E 62 4. Toyota Prius Eco 61 5. Volkswagen E-Golf 61 6. Nissan Leaf S / Leaf SV 61 7. Kia Soul Electric 59 8.
KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
Toyota mints 10-millionth vehicle in Kentucky
Fri, 30 May 2014In 26 years, from 1988 up to now, the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky plant in Georgetown has built ten million vehicles - nearly enough for every citizen of Seoul, Korea or the nation of Hungary. The first car to roll off the line back when the claymation California Raisins were singing old Marvin Gaye hits and everybody wanted to know Who Framed Roger Rabbit? was a white Camry. The ten-millionth car to roll off the line among the Avalons and Venzas also produced there: a white Camry Hybrid.
Toyota has put $5.9 billion into the site since its inception, employment is up to 7,000 associates and will grow when Lexus ES350 assembly begins next year. Whereas car number one is a showpiece for the ages, one of the automaker's current associates will get to win the ten-millionth car in a blind drawing to be held this summer.
There's a press release below with more information on the impressive milestone.
