I have a heavily modified 3rd Generation 4Runner for sale. I purchased
the vehicle from C.L. Hyman Auto Wholesale in Ashland, VA on 24 June
2009 for $10,600 with 104,628 miles. The VIN is JT3HN86RXY0304364
. It is a 4x4, 3.4L V6 with 5 speed manual transmission and SR5 Trim
Level. I drove the truck stock for about a year. I started modifying
the truck heavily after returning from a deployment to Iraq in 2010. By
that time I put a 3 in suspension lift, budbuilt full belly skids and
34's. I wheeled the truck for about a year and half in Washington
state. Prior to my deployment to Afghanistan I decided to have the
truck built in a very similar style to Scotty C at Addicted Offroad's
black 3rd Gen 4Runner. I commissioned Jason @ Perkins Performance in
Puyallup, WA to do the fabrication and some mechanical work. The
following is the endstate I was looking for in the build that I provided
Jason: "I want a SUV with a lot of utility. I want the ability to go
trail riding, over-landing, hauling a trailer, driving on the highway
and acting as a daily driver. I am not too concerned about being
comfortable, but I know girls will complain. So I want a balance
between a rough ride that will benefit me off road and a smooth ride
that will benefit me with a comfortable ride on the street. Another
concern I have is not sacrificing too much power without hacking into my
still decent fuel economy. I know I'm asking a lot but I hope this at
least gives you guidance as to what I'm looking for with my 4Runner."
I started with the 4Runner's engine and transmission replaced with a Japanese 3.4L V6 that I installed after my Iraq deployment with only 40,000 on the engine. (I blew a head because I used non-stock spark plugs... never did that again!). Spent $2,000 on the engine, still have the receipt. I also had a low miles 5 speed installed while still on the dealership warranty because the syncros went bad on the original transmission (previous owner didn't know how to drive!) The rear axle was in solid condition, the transfer case had no issues, and the frame was solid, so it was time decide how to build the truck. I had read a lot and found the only way to go on axles without having to find a right hand drop T-Case was have one built. I researched and researched, and determined the best axles on the market for Toyota's were Diamond Axles. I referenced Scotty C's research and knowing I'd be mirroring a lot of his work, I ordered a Diamond Axle (64 WMS, driver side drop, 4.88 Yukon gears, detroit locker, Longfields, hi-pinion 8" Land Cruiser housing with 8* of caster built for a 3 link suspension - $5,200 shipped). I also purchased the Front Range Offroad (parent company to Diamond) full-floating rear axle kit for the factory 3rd gen rear axle housing and upgraded to 4.88 yukon gears, Longfields, retro-fitted a factory TRD e-locker, removed the electric actuator and installed the Chilkat cable actuator. I easily spent over $10,000 on the axles alone. Other big ticket items were the Marlin Crawler TacoBox Dual Transfer Case for the factory T-Case 2.88:1 and the clutch kit for a total of $2,147, a 1978 Ford Bronco power steering gear box, 2001 Toyota Tacoma radiator with transmission cooler used to cool the power steering fluid, and lastly the F-150 gas tank retro-fitted with a chopped and sectioned factory fuel sending unit/pump. As for suspension, we used a Gen Right Offroad "builders kit - 3 link" for the front and 4-link for the rear. Fox Coilover's used up front and LC HD 3" lift coils in the rear. I have around $39,000 worth of receipts for parts and labor on the truck. The truck is running, and can drive, but requires some work before she is street legal. I had Matt @ Independent4x in Ashland, Va work on the truck, and he said overall the truck is fine, but there are a few things required before driving it on the highway. I have compiled a list of 13 big ticket items to be completed before the truck is highway worthy. The steering linkage needs to be rebuilt completely to improve the "tightness" of the steering and remove deathwobble, the power steering pressure lines need to be worked on, to improve the location on where they are run and mounted, the truck needs limiting straps, sway bars and needs the suspension to be dialed in, I have the all-pro t-case parking brake kit that needs to be modified to fit the truck, the Tacoma VSC speedo sensor, the gas tank level sensor needs to be installed and or tweeked for perfection. I am asking $15,000 and will negotiate shipping prices within the continental US. I have an additional 3.4L V6 and a bunch of extra parts on the truck. There is a possibility I might be selling the plate bumpers separate. I am selling the truck because I no longer live in an area where I can wheel it like it should be, I can't park it in downtown Richmond, VA because its awesomely huge and I can't finish it because I need to save money to buy a house and pay off some loans. I wish I still lived in Washington so I wouldn't have to sell it, but life goes on. Happy Bidding, and I'm jealous of whoever wins Kayla. She's bad@ss! |

Toyota teams with FirstElement Fuel on 19 hydrogen stations in California
Fri, May 2 2014Cross Toyota with a former General Motors and Hyundai executive and you might just get some real momentum when it comes to hydrogen refueling station deployment. Toyota and FirstElement Fuel Inc., which is headed by ex-GM and Hyundai executive Joel Ewanick, are working together on a project designed to complement California's agreement to spend about $200 million building 100 stations in the state. And while Toyota didn't put out any specific numbers, Automotive News reports that FirstElement received a $27.6 million grant from the California Energy Commission to build 19 stations, which will be sited at existing fueling spots and spaced far enough apart to be reachable by anyone within the state. In all, California has granted $47 million for the deployment of 28 new stations. Additionally, Toyota will get Linde to build a refueling station on a Toyota-owned property in the San Francisco Bay Area's San Ramon, Calif. Toyota, which is targeting a full-tank range of 300 miles and a five-minute refueling time for its fuel-cell sedan, had its fuel-cell prototype make its North American debut at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January. The company said at the time that 68 stations could serve 10,000 hydrogen vehicles. And while that station number doesn't sound terribly high, consider that there are fewer than 10 hydrogen refueling stations in California now. Check out Toyota's press release below and Autoblog's impressions from a drive of one of Toyota's fuel-cell prototypes late last year here. Toyota Collaborates with FirstElement, Providing Financial Assistance to Facilitate a Hydrogen Refueling Network in Targeted California Locations Toyota also will collaborate with hydrogen provider Linde, which will build a public hydrogen refueling facility at the Toyota San Francisco Regional Office May 01, 2014 TORRANCE, Calif. (May 1, 2014) – "The issue of hydrogen refueling infrastructure is not so much about how many stations; but rather, location, location, location," stated Bob Carter, senior vice president, Automotive Operations, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (TMS), just four months ago at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas where he unveiled a hydrogen fuel cell sedan due to launch in 2015. "Solutions are being found through collaboration between government, academia, carmakers and energy providers.

Toyota R&D shows off free piston engine linear generator for future EVs
Thu, May 1 2014We often hear how an electric vehicle powertrain architecture allows vehicle designers much more freedom than a traditional ICE powertrain does. With differently shaped battery modules and small electric motors, there are lots of way to put the pieces together. With today's plug-in hybrid technology, engineers still need to put a decent-sized ICE somewhere, but new technology from Toyota could free up the gas-electric vehicle designers of the future. Presented at the recent SAE World Congress in Detroit, the idea from Toyota Central R&D Labs Inc. and involves what is called a Free Piston Engine Linear Generator (FPEG). Think of it as a sort of one-cylinder, two-stroke mini-engine that can work either as a generator (thank to magnets and a linear coil) or to directly drive a vehicle. The current prototype is a 10-kW unit that Toyota say would provide enough power to get a B- or C-segment electric vehicle up to highway speeds (75 miles per hour) when paired up to offer 20 kW. Pairing the FPEGs is also important to minimize vibrations. One system tested by Toyota had a 42 percent thermal efficiency, but the engineers are working to improve the overall efficiency even further. You can watch an animated video of the piston in action here (click on "Outline") and see the SAE papers here and here. More technical details are available at Green Car Congress.
