Up for auction is a California Survivor!

A first generation

1989 Toyota 4Runner with oversized mud tires!

A daily driver. This vehicle is being sold to make room for a pickup truck that

will replace it for my new job. Just driven from Los Angeles County to South Lake Tahoe.

A nice candidate for a Rock Crawler. A rare color of Toyota for this year.

The vehicle just had a brake job and a new master cylinder installed by a certified mechanic.

In addition, the vehicle just had a brand new battery installed.

We have removed chipped paint from the side, about 2 feet by 2 feet.

We sanded it to bare sheet metal and then primered it. This work was just done.

The area is ready to be repainted.

It starts every time and is reliable. The door locks should be replaced. I have the

ignition key and I have been just opening with the sliding glass of the convertible

hood. Locking the doors but unlocking by sliding the window open in the back. The

gas gauge is also not accurate but the odometer is and will be slightly different as

the truck will be used a bit this week.The interior is in overall good shape and

cleaned.

Overall, this is a reliable 4x4

that would make a fun off road and winter transport

or top down in the summer kind of vehicle.

Fun and highly sought after.

Please see the numerous photos and feel free to ask questions.

Please note that this vehicle is being sold, "As is and Where is". It is well used but not abused.

Please also note that the winning bidder is responsible for payment within three days.

Winning the auction is not a "marker" to come by and inspect the vehicle after the auction ends.

If you wish to inspect, please do so before the auction is completed.

I am not responsible to pay any State of California fees. That is the responsibility of the seller to research and pay and fees

with the DMV.It is also the responsibility of the buyer to research the emission in your state. We can make no claims or

verify that it will clear or not clear the emission of your state.I can assist with the logistics of shipping.

I can meet a carrier in Reno for you to achieve a better shipping rate.

For a prearranged negotiated fee amicable to both parties before the auction ends, I can drive the vehicle to

Sacramento or the San Francisco area or ? Just please help by getting your plan preapproved

so that we are on the very same page. I am in Los Angeles a lot and I am in San Jose a lot.

Full payment must be received prior to my drive to the preapproved destination.

I am describing and listing this auto to the best of my ability. Please see my other auctions and thank your for looking!

Toyota planning radical open-wheel sports car concept

Tue, May 26 2015

Word has it that Toyota is planning a rather radical new sports car concept for debut later this year. According to Australia's Motoring website, the project calls for an open-wheel, three-seat sports car concept. It's tipped to pack a 1.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid powertrain inside a narrow nose, driving around 100 horsepower through a CVT to the rear wheels. Made largely of carbon fiber, the concept is tipped to pack a similar footprint to the Mazda MX-5 Miata, only with open (but likely fendered) wheels – sort of like on a Caterham Seven Â– and a three-seat cockpit with a central driving position. The concept is expected to debut at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show late in October. If reactions are positive enough, the Japanese industrial giant could even put it into production by 2017. Pictured above is the Motor Triathalon Race Car concept which Toyota unveiled at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show, featuring an open tandem cockpit, open wheels with individual electric motors, and a virtual-reality helmet. Naturally, that show car never made it to production, but we're looking forward to seeing this next one take shape.

Toyota takes self-driving step with patent for eyelid detection device

Mon, Mar 23 2015

With the rise of smartphones and more advanced auto infotainment systems, combatting distracted driving is a growing concern. One day, fully autonomous vehicles could end the problem, but that solution is still at best years away for consumers. Until then, automakers are working to make the tech safer, and one way to do that is monitoring drivers' eyes to make sure they're paying attention. With a recent patent, Toyota thinks it can make the tracking work even better. In Japanese brand's patented solution, a camera constantly monitors the driver's upper and lower eyelids and uses the data to calculate how open the eyes are. The company admits systems like this already exist elsewhere, but they can sometimes return false results by detecting redeye instead of the location of a person's actual eyeball. To fix this, the automaker adds a further step to search for redeye. If it occurs where skin is already assumed to be, then the system can go back to tracking the accurate location of the eye. Toyota doesn't specify how it might use this technology, but more accurate data would always be useful. The company wouldn't be the first automaker to work on implementing eye detection, either. For example, General Motors has a pilot program using it to monitor distraction, and Jaguar Land Rover watches a driver's peepers to create the 3d image for its Virtual Windscreen. Related Video:
