2000 Toyota 4runner Offroad Trail Riding Rock Crawler on 2040-cars
Henrico, Virginia, United States
|
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! |

April Fools' Day brings Jeep Sedan, Hyundai N Roadster, Toyota Yaris pickup and more
Mon, Apr 1 2019There is one day out of the year when public relations professionals have permission to lie to journalists and to the public: April Fools' Day. Manufacturers release details about wild, weird and wacky new technology, concept vehicles and services. Some take it to obvious outlandish extremes (Jeep Sedan anybody?), while others plot to mislead with products that are just outside the realm of possibility. Check out all the "jokes" below. BMW Motorrad BMW doesn't want to exclude anybody from experiencing the thrill of high-level racing, so it is introducing 'iRace" autonomous programming on its S 1000 RR sport bike. It includes beginner, sportsman, advanced and unlimited driving modes, and stores GPS information for all Superbike world championship tracks. Hyundai Hyundai is wrong for this. The Hyundai N Roadster is the work of South Korean designer Yeonjoon Park and features a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, rear-wheel drive and a hard convertible top. Hyundai says this is a "concept (for now)," but we think it'd make a seriously great Mazda Miata competitor. Honda Honda wins the award for the best interactive gimmick, as its press release for the '90s-inspired special-edition Pastport includes a live hotline number with a message from Fred Savage. Call 1-833-PASTPORT for more information. Jeep Put the Jeep Cherokee face on the Chrysler 300's body, and voila! The 2019 Jeep Sedan is born. We can't decide if the name or the rendering is better. Land Rover Accessibility to charging ports is of major concern to anybody with a plug-in vehicle. So, with the recent launch of the Range Rover P400e and Range Rover Sport P400e, Land Rover is putting forth an effort to install more stations around the globe. First up is Scotland's Isle of Skye. Adventurers need juice too! Lexus Australia Lexus expands its Encore service to include doggos. The new service, called Enpaw, will take pups to luxury boarding kennels in style. Toyota U.S. Toyota created the Yaris Adventure pickup for "those who want to tell their friends they own a truck but never veer off pavement." It's part Mazda 2, part RAV4, 100 percent ute and it looks ... great? Creating a new segment might be all fun and games to Toyota, but Ford is reportedly considering a Focus-based ute in a similar, albeit larger, style. Toyota Australia Toyota is launching a new HiAce van, and it's already getting a limited-edition variant called the PieAce.
Toyota FT-86 Open Concept would make a mighty fine droptop FR-S
Tue, 05 Mar 2013There's nothing wrong with going topless. And Toyota is proving that its FT-86 (read: Scion FR-S/Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ) coupe is just as excellent with its roof removed. It may only be a concept, but this FT-86 Open previews a new droptop from the Japanese automaker to round out the Toyobaru sports car family. We're finally getting the chance to see the open-air FT-86 in person here at the Geneva Motor Show, and we're already yearning to take it canyon-carving.
Interestingly, the FT-86 retains the Toyota coupe's two-plus-two seating arrangement (we'd prefer a proper roadster setup here), but things still look good for this droptop two-door. We'll be curious to see how the car looks with its folding soft top in place (operated by fancy-shmancy electronics, by the way).
As for production intent, rumors have been flying about a production Scion FR-S convertible, but until we hear it directly from Toyota. Consider our hopes in check but our fingers crossed.
A pair of Mitsubishis, the Mazda CX-30 and electric incentives | Autoblog Podcast #673
Fri, Apr 9 2021This week's Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski as they debate the merits of the redesigned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 coupes and whether or not they are distinctive and powerful enough to attract buyers. The duo spends some time discussing ongoing EV and infrastructure legislation before turning their attention to a trio of crossovers. Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander.
