I decided a wanted to build a 1st gen 4runner and this is what I created.  I wanted a rust free, stock, clean 4runner. I found what I was looking for here on ebay. It was an 89 4runner, 250k, perfect interior, NO RUST ANYWHERE! , A/C works perfect , unmalested, came with a soft top. I didnt care about the miles because I wanted a fresh motor. I paid 4500 for it and had it shipped to me from Maryland. So then I was on the hunt for a brand new 22re. I found one in NY that was completely rebuilt and still rapped up in storage. I paid 1200 for it. Got it home and started talking apart the truck. I took my time doing the swap and did everything correctly. Bought a brand new red top optima battery 250$. After Market headers 300$. and other small parts. I did the correct break in on the motor. 500 miles, oil change,1500 mile, oil change, still not at next 3000 miles. GETS 20MPG! The check engine light is on right now for the mass airflow sensor. Havnt gotten around to getting a new one yet. So thats the motor. Then I wanted tires. I bought brand new Goodyear wrangler Duratracs. 285/75r16. so about 33 inches tall 11.5 wide. On brand new alloy rims. 1400$. I put in 2 inch Ball joint spacers in the front.And Add a leafs and the ZUK mod in the back.250$ Then bought a trail gear rear bumper 300$ Then decided to regear for the larger tires. So I bought brand new 4.88s front and rear 500$ plus another 500 to get them professionally  installed. Also i put a brand new Detroit tru trac locker in the front 500$. So thats the suspension. Put a brand new deck, subwoofer, alpine amp and 2 6 inch speakers in 900$ Also put a sr5 gauge cluster in 100$ Also came with a 600$ Soft top which is awesome in the summer. New exhaust.



When I started the build I wanted a truck to last me the next 20 years and be bullet proof, small lift with 33s, and rides nice on the road. Thats exactly what this 4runner does. It rides perfectly and starts up every time. I have atleast 11,000 into it.

WHAT IT NEEDS. 
E brake doesnt work because the rear passenger side brake needs work.
small manifold leak because its missing a stud
about a 3 inch whole in drivers side bed panel
Check engine light is on like I said for Mass Airflow sensor


THIS IS AN EARLY BIRD SPECIAL> In a few weeks I will be fixing all these problems and will repost this truck for a lot more money. I don't have that much time so I'd like to sell it now but if I don't get the amount I want I will repost for what its really worth after I fix these small issues. This is a great 4x4 truck, 20mpg, geared right for the tires. Not to lifted. Just the perfect 4runner.

Txt 413-884-2814 for more pics or specific questions. Im looking for 8,000. If it doesn't sell and I fix the issues ill be asking 10,000 on the repost.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Because 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.'"

Toyota engineer warns automous cars could increase fuel use, urban sprawl

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

An increasing number of people are starting to consider the potential downsides of a transition to autonomous cars. The FBI is already looking at them for the potential ill effects on law enforcement, and a scientist for Toyota is raising the possibility that driverless vehicles could actually be detrimental to the environment over the long term.
Ken Laberteaux, who studies future transportation for Toyota, thinks that autonomous cars could lead to more pollution, not less, says Bloomberg. However, Laberteaux's theory isn't so much based purely on science as it is considering behavioral and historical trends. "US history shows that anytime you make driving easier, there seems to be this inexhaustible desire to live further from things," said Laberteaux during a presentation at the Automated Vehicles Symposium in San Francisco, CA, cited by Bloomberg.
Laberteaux's belief is that if commuters can make their drives easier, then they will be more willing to live farther away from the cities where they work. The end result would be more urban sprawl and increased pollution from the longer travel times.
