Lifted With A Mercedes 300sd Turbo Diesel Motor Inline 5 Cylinder on 2040-cars
Louisville, Kentucky, United States
|
I have a Very Rare 1985 Toyota 4Runner SR5 (last year with solid front
axle) with a 3.0 liter OM617.952 Turbo Diesel for sale. Motor has been
in the truck for a little over a year and has been my daily driver/road
trip/Camping vehicle. Last year I drove 1600 Miles Round Trip to NYC and
back without the slightest problem. Currently 17,xxx miles on the swap.
Specs: - 4" suspension lift - 63' Chevy Springs in the back/ HD Rough Country springs up front - 35" BFG All-Terrain Brand New. (Still has the tabs from the injection mold.) - Solid Axle. (was cut and turned to correct drive angle. (Moved forward 3" for better approach)) - Axle was rebuilt about a year and a half ago - High Steer - Square Tube front D/S Balanced professionally (0 Vibration) Need new Teflon bushings to quiet the chatter at low speeds - Gusseted for support - Steering dampener - Tom Woods Custom Rear D/S - Stainless Braided Brake Lines - Custom Fabricated Oil Filter Relocation Adapters to allow easy filter access - Rebuilt Turbo - OM617.952 Motor - New Head Gasket (installed while the motor was being fitted) - New Monark Injectors. Pop tested @ 2000psi - Modified Alda - Modified Injector Pump (Rack Limiter Removed) - Hybrid 8 Puck Clutch/New Pressure Plate - Front Mount Oil Cooler - Dual Manual Controlled Cooling Fans - 4000psi rated 3/4 and 1/2 hydraulic lines for oil delivery - 2.5 Turbo Back Exhaust - Gets 22 Mpg pulling up 5% Grades in WV and 25 Mpg running around local highway/City (haven't tested with new 35" tires) - New Timing Chain - New Fuel Lines - Transmission is a stock W56 capable of withstanding the Torque of the Straight 5 Diesel - Top Shift Transfer case - Stock SR5 Altimeter/Inclinometer - Aftermarket VDO Boost/EGT gauges with 4Runner Specific 2 Gauge Pillar - All stock gauges function except for the RPM Gauge - Leather Specialty Toppers Soft Top (included) - Hard Top w/ Integrated internal LED lighting (Very Bright) - Rear Mounted Battery (backup) The Bad: - Typical Rust over the rear tires on the fender This is an incredible truck and is always getting looks, comments, double takes, questions anywhere I go and when people hear that it is a diesel, the response never gets old. Never been stuck anywhere yet. I am pretty light on the truck as it is. I go by the "it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it" with this thing. Never sees over 60 mph, and rarely sees boost over 6 psi. I built this truck to be a good gas mileage/Ultra Reliable/Versatile/Utilitarian Rig and it has become just that. I have no real reason to sell it other than to see what I could get for it, and I have recently moved into the city and parking this can be interesting. I would possibly trade for a WRX, but it would have to be near stock, and would prefer a wagon. NO AUTOMATICS I will not entertain low-ballers. There are only 6 that I have seen like this ever and this one is the ONLY one in within kentuckiana/ohio. The next closest is a project underway in Southern TN. I have receipts and pictures along with video for nearly everything and every mod. Also have every Fuel Fill-up since the swap, minus 2 or 3 when the printer at the pump didn't work. Thanks for taking a look!! |

Renault Scenic EV takes first place as (European) Car of the Year
Mon, Feb 26 2024The automobile awards season may not be over, but two of the more prestigious annual races came closer to a climax this week. One might need a scorecard to keep track. We’re focused here on two events: the World Car of 2024, now reduced to three finalists in six categories. Then thereÂ’s the Car of the Year, known in some quarters as the European Car of the Year. Except that the car doesnÂ’t have to be European to win, only sold there. Got that? Winners out of the way first: At the Geneva Motor Show on Monday, the Renault Scenic E-Tech all-electric has been voted Car of the Year 2024. The Scenic is a fairly compact, somewhat stylish SUV for Europe only, and is the seventh vehicle from the French brand to win the award. It sells in the United Kingdom for about $47,500. The other six finalists that had made the first cut of voting in November were the BMW 5 Series, BYD Seal, Kia EV9, Peugeot E-3008/3008, Toyota C-HR, and Volvo EX30. The trophy winner was chosen by a jury of 59 motoring journalists from 22 countries. Scenic came in first place with 329 points. The Seal was the first Chinese-made car to make this awardÂ’s shortlist; it finished sixth out of seven, just up from the Toyota. One judge explained his decision to grant the Seal zero votes. Writing in Top Gear, Paul Horrell wrote this entertaining critique: “It looks good and is well specified, so makes a strong market entry. The advanced electric system and cobalt-free battery are commendable too, and it's enjoyable enough to drive quickly. That's undermined by an agitated ride over bumps, and the logic of screens and switches is pretty eccentric.” Recapping the World Car of the Year 2024 update, the sponsors shared the stage at Geneva on Monday with the Europeans as well, although they revealed only the top three finalists in six categories. For the ultimate prize, they are the Kia EV9, the Volvo EX30 and the BYD Seal. The winners will be announced March 27 at the New York International Auto Show. Here's more on the World Car finalists.

Toyota must go to trial over unintended acceleration suits
Tue, 08 Oct 2013Toyota is surely readying its trial lawyers, as the Japanese giant is officially headed to court in a pair of cases relating to its unintended acceleration fiascos of 2009 and 2010.
In the first case, the United States Supreme Court has actually got involved in matters, ignoring an appeal from Toyota that attempted to use an arbitrator to settle its California lawsuits. The automaker will now go to trial to face owners of 2010 Prius models over an alleged defect with the anti-lock braking systems, which plaintiffs say made the cars more difficult to stop, according to Bloomberg.
The second trial is a bit more in depth, covering the case of Ida St. John, an 83-year-old from Georgia, that crashed her 2005 Camry in 2009. The accident is believed to have played a part in her death, although the suit, being filed by her grandson, doesn't actually place blame on Toyota for her death.
Vice chronicles Okinawa's illegal street racing scene
Mon, 10 Mar 2014We all know that street racing is dangerous, and that motorsports are best left on the track or drag strip. However, that doesn't mean that there still isn't some outlaw allure among enthusiasts of racing on public roads. In this video, Vice Japan profiles Eikichi Nagayoshi of Japan's island of Okinawa. He is a used car dealer by day and an illegal racer by night.
Nagayoshi has a deep love for his highly customized Toyota Aristo (better known to us as a first-generation Lexus GS) that he claims produces over 1,000 horsepower and has hit 205 miles per hour. He races his car both on drag strips and in drifting competitions, but says that he often has to ship the car to mainland Japan to compete. In the absence of those opportunities, he sometimes gathers friends and takes the racing to the public roads. While we're not down with street racing, this Vice video is an intriguing personality piece, as well as a look into Japan's fabled underground racing scene.
