 You are bidding on one of the finest, cleanest 1st generation 4runners around. I am the third owner and have had this vehicle for 7 years. It was an Arizona car for the 1st and 2nd owner and now resides in Idaho. It has never seen snow or salt, hence the original paint and body condition. There is NO body rust on this vehicle. The previous owner has installed a 3" Rancho Suspension Lift kit with matching shocks which works well with the 31x10.5BFGoodrich t/a radials. The tires look new. The sound system in the vehicle absolutely rocks! Don't know the exact details. But it has a Alpine head unit CD player with a Pioneer 800 watt amplifier in cargo area and a large JBL three speaker subwoofer in the cargo area. It also has custom door mounted speakers.  It does have an I Pod hook up to the head unit. Head liner is in good shape. Seats are all in good shape with the drivers side showing wear from getting in and out. There are no tears or rips in seats. The door panels have the normal wear on top where your arm rests with window open. There are two small holes in the door release plastic. Dashboard is perfect as well as all instruments and displays. Carpet is Very clean.  The AC does NOT blow cold but I suspect all it needs is to be recharged. We do not need AC here so never bothered to check into it. It did work very well when I bought the car in Phoenix and drove it home 7 years ago. The battery was installed last month. The mileage is original I bought the vehicle with 126k and have only put 8k since.

It is fitted with a receiver hitch with a four way flat plug. I have pulled my 17ft drift boat with out any problem. I have put new Warn manual locking hubs on in the last thousand miles. I have replaced the timing belt, serpentine belt, water pump, and the idler pulley. If there was anything mechanically that needed attention, it was taken care of.

There are round Nerf bar running boards. They do have some road rash and surface rust from the gravel roads around here unfortunately. It also has a tubular grill guard with fog lights that are functional. Every thing on the vehicle works with exception of the AC.

I have tried to show all the imperfections in the pictures. The body is in great shape but does show some wear commensurate of a 25 year old vehicle with original paint.  Starting at the tail gate, there is a quarter sized area that has been touched up with paint that does not match and the tail lite lens is scratched next to the touch up. There is a Rhino coat application to the lip of the tailgate. The clear coat was pealing and I elected to use the Rhino coat instead of repainting the whole tail gate. It looks good with other black trim on the back of the vehicle. The rear window has some wear marks from sliding up and down. The decals down the sides of the truck are faded and almost not visible. there are a couple dings on each side but no major dents.There is a scratch on the rear passenger quarter panel that was touched up with paint that did not match well.  The hood has some road rash on the nose and the decals are also faded to being only slightly visible.  The roof is in good shape but does have three dimples on the radius from the windshield to the roof.  There is a small crease down passenger side of hood, can only see it in right light. Typical of the 4runners of this era the window seals around rear sliders don't stay seated in corner but do not leak. The antenna is power but the mast is damaged and does not go up or down. It gets reception fine so I have never fixed it. The steering wheel is sun faded from the early years in AZ. The rims are Toyota OEM SR5 mags. They do have some discoloration. The muffler does have a whole in it but not worth fixing IMO. I believe that sums up the body. I tried to be as specific as possible.

Reason for selling is I don't drive it much and I hate to see it sitting around and I have too many vehicles.

This would be a great 1st vehicle for a teenager or a great platform to restore to show room new for the avid 4runner guru. Would be a great daily driver also.  I would not hesitate to drive this vehicle anywhere.

I have been watching Ebay for years and not seen many that would compare. I will be happy to answer any questions about the vehicle. It is located in Victor, ID. Buyer is responsible for shipping and or pick up. If you choose to fly in, I would be willing to pick up at Jackson hole airport or Idaho Falls airport. PLEASE  make sure you have funds available before bidding.

Honda may recall up to 1M vehicles for airbag issue, following Toyota's lead

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

It seems Toyota won't be the only one recalling the faulty Takata airbag inflators for long. Honda insiders in Japan claim that the company is getting close to announcing its own worldwide campaign that would begin before the end of June.
Unnamed sources close to Honda in Japan tell Automotive News that the company is pursuing an internal investigation into possibly affected models and is working with Takata to gather more information. They claim that it could involve even more than the 1.14 million cars worldwide that the automaker covered under the first recall for the problem in April 2013, including 561,000 vehicles in the US.
Toyota jumpstarted this process last week when it recalled over 2 million cars worldwide, including 844,277 in the US. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began a preliminary evaluation into the issue following six reported incidents, and started assembling data about potentially affected models from Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Chrysler. NHTSA also began investigating Takata itself.

Toyota officially outsells GM, VW through first three quarters

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

When it comes to global vehicle deliveries, the term "Big Three" doesn't apply to Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, but instead Toyota, GM and Volkswagen - in that order - through the third quarter of 2013. Toyota sold 7.41-million vehicles through the third quarter and is on track to deliver more vehicles this year than GM and VW, which sold 7.25-million and 7.03-million, respectively, through the same period, Bloomberg reports.
During the third quarter, from July to September, Toyota's 2.5-million deliveries helped to push it higher than its closest competitors this year. In that period, GM delivered 2.4-million vehicles while VW posted 2.33-million deliveries.
Part of the reason behind Toyota's and other Japanese automakers resurgence globally is the weakened yen, which can be attributed to policies made by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe since he took office in December 2012. Many refer to those monetary easing policies as 'Abenomics,' which has led some, such as Ford, to call Japan a currency manipulator and is a big reason why the US is lobbying to oppose Japan's entry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

Recharge Wrap-up: Q50 Hybrid video, Iran's biodiesel weed

Mon, Aug 10 2015

A new video from Infiniti showcases the Q50 Hybrid's kinetic energy recovery technology, borrowed from Formula One. The video details what is going on inside both the Q50 Hybrid and the racecar when it gathers energy to store for later use, offering better performance than an internal combustion engine alone. In the Q50 Hybrid, that electric energy helps the car accelerate from 0-60 in 4.9 seconds. The video also serves to highlight the relationship between racing innovation and performance and efficiency improvements in production vehicles. See the video above. The 2015 Toyota Prius C has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The compact hybrid, updated for the 2015 model year, has been upgraded from a "poor" to "acceptable" rating in the small overlap crash test, placing it on the Top Safety Pick list. Beginning in the 2016 model year, cars will have to score a "good" rating on the test to make the list, which means further improvements will be necessary if Toyota wants the Prius C to maintain its safety status with the IIHS.

John and Lisa Brichetto's Northington Energy LLC received a state loan to produce biodiesel in 2011, but the facility never started production and was later foreclosed upon. In addition to the $142,215 the Brichettos defrauded from Tennessee, the state also invested in utilities and roads, while the US Department of Agriculture also paid for site improvements.

Scientists at the Islamic Azad University have created two liters of biomass for biofuel from flixweed. Flixweed, also called herb-Sophia and tansy mustard, is a non-edible weed that grows in various climates with little to no effort. It was found to contain 22 percent oil and fatty acids, and the biomass contains oxygenated chemical components. "This issue is important because the atomic oxygen in the fuel of a car directly cuts exhaust and the dangerous carbon monoxide and cancerous particles suspended in air," says Mehdi Alami, a chemistry graduate working on the project.
