This 85 4Runner is from out west and has very minimal rust. I purchased this to fix-up and use for summer cruising. I have since realized I really don't need it. I have other tools and equipment I need worse than a toy. I purchased the truck non running and have replaced the transmission, exhaust, and rebuilt the motor with new rings, bearings and exhaust valves. The motor was all within factory specs so it is standard bore and bearing sizes, just a quick hone in the cylinders. I went this route since the motor was in factory spec otherwise I would have had it machined or would of replaced it. I'm not going to waste my time on junk. This runs through all 5 gears and reverse fine no grinding or bad noises. Transfercase and 4wd all work as they should. I used them in the snow. The tires are 31x10.5x15 Super Swampers on American Racing wheels. Tires are worn but still have some life in them. There is no radio. The factory harness appears to be intact not hacked up by some punk. It does need a windshield and has some bumps and bruises that can be seen in the pictures. I have the sheet metal to repair the damage below the driverside tail light. This is a good start for a restoration, turning into an offroad beast or daily driver. The rust is only on the outer quarter panel, all the inner structure is real nice. The wheel well trim had to be the cause of the rust. This truck isn't perfect but then again it isn't priced like a perfect truck either. I love these old straight axle 4Runners but at this time I have greater needs/wants. I am looking for skid steer loader, plasma cutter, surface grinder, machine shop size mill, lathe (no table top), CNC, quality tools, Lexus Gs, 10,000 trailer,things that go boom,etc. Let me know what you have. Make me an offer. Worst I can say is no. I would be willing to purchase someones item of equal, greater or lesser value if they purchase my 4Runner. I can assist in shipping, possibly deliver. I will not handle the shipping. I will help with loading and whatever the shipper needs. I would be willing to possibly deliver for an agreed price before the end of the auction. Please contact me before bidding about shipping, please do not assume we agree.I would be willing to hold this if someone that is waiting for their taxes if a not refundable deposit is made. Please contact me with your intentions if this plan seem desireable. Again please do not assume. Please feel free to ask any questions or come inspect/drive. Feel free to call me at `309-738-six741

Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"
Japanese spark plug giant NGK pleads guilty to price fixing, to pay $52M fine
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The ongoing investigation by the Department of Justice into price fixing in the automotive industry has nabbed one more company breaking the law. Japanese parts giant NGK Spark Plug Company agreed to plead guilty to a felony count of pricing fixing and bid rigging in the in the US District Court in Detroit. Its punishment is a $52.1 million criminal fine and to continue to cooperate with the DOJ's sleuthing into the problem.
According to the DOJ, NGK conspired to fix prices on spark plugs, standard oxygen sensors, and air fuel ratio sensors on vehicles from major automakers in the US, including the former DaimlerChrysler, Honda and Toyota, in a scheme that ran from at least January 2000 to July 2011. The charge claimed that the company and its co-conspirators held meetings where they agreed on bids and price quotes that were submitted to the automakers.
With the latest plea, the DOJ has caught 28 companies and 26 executives for price-fixing and bid rigging in the auto parts industry, and they have collected $2.4 billion in criminal fines. In 2013, the feds brought nine Japanese suppliers down at once, to collect $740 million. Scroll down to read the DOJ's complete announcement of the case.
Camatte concept puts the Toy back in Toyota [w/videos]
Mon, 16 Jun 2014It's been two years since Toyota first revealed its Camatte show car at the Tokyo Toy Show. Though sadly never destined for production, Toyota brought the concept back the following year as the Camatte 57s roadster, and is now returning to the same show with yet another take on the kid-friendly, configurable 1+2 with interchangeable body panels - this time with a slew of features that are fresh not only to the concept itself, but to the industry altogether.
This year the Camatte is being showcased in two forms: a bare chassis in the Tech Lab that lets kids see the inner workings of a modern automobile, and another in the Design Lab that lets kids draw their own motif for the concept that is then displayed on an LED hood.
The overall approach reminds us of the way Toyota's budget brand Daihatsu unveiled the Kopen roadster concept at the Tokyo Motor Show late last year, only even more kid-focused and decidedly more light-hearted than you might otherwise expect from one of the largest industrial giants in the world, and could only have been made for a toy exposition. In Japan. Which would explain the ridiculously upbeat videos below, where you'll also find the brief press release.
