Rare Toyota 4runner 2 Door With V* Conversion on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
|
Up for sale is a rare second generation 2 door 4Runner. As you can see from the pictures and videos the truck is in excellent
condition and the engine runs very very well as an almost brand new
engine should.These trucks are definitively getting harder and harder to find in this rust free condition! Originally this was a V6 model with a 5 speed manual trans.
The truck was re-painted in the original gold color by Freds Autobody in Melbourne, Fl. The paint job is flawless with no rust whatsoever on the whole body and anti chip paint in the lower part of the panels. At the same time the fender flares were added. The engine was converted to a brand new Ford 5.0/302 purchased from Ford racing. The engine is the basic mustang engine without aluminum heads making about 240 hp. It has billet serpentine belt system with AC, new carb, and headers. I also had a custom aluminum radiator made by Ron Davis which is installed using the stock location and mounting points. Transmission is a Ford AOD also purchased new with all the high performance parts to take 450 hp, I did this as extra insurance to take the large tires which are 33x12.5 BF Goodrich All Terrains on Alcoa classic II wheels. The tires still have the hairs on them so very very little mileage. Suspension has been lifted 4 inches with a Superlift system, and 2 inches with a body lift to clear the transmission and not cut the tunnel.. The trans has a Lokar shifter, which can easily be changed for a shorter shifter handle if you prefer (although I dont include the shorter handle in the sale). The transfer case is also heavy duty, an Atlas II all billet case with dual shift levers. The entire drive train has less than 3000 miles on it. The interior of the truck has a Kenwood 7 inch screen/stereo with sat nav capability. It does not have the sat nav module however. The interior is in perfect condition with no tears or rips and no dashboard cracks! The exterior has large Hella lights on and ARB bumper. The rear has an All Pro Off Road bumper. Spare tire is on the original Toyota swing out mount. As for the bad, the AC gas will most likely need to be refilled. The heater hoses were not reconnected when the engine was swapped, honestly not much use in Fl. The two issues I noticed while driving are that the water pump leaks a little where the gasket is which is a very simple repair, and the trans doesnt shift on a light throttle which means the shift points have to be adjusted. The power steering pump also needs to be installed in a more permanent way as it is temporary now (but 100% functional). Lastly there is a spare wheel but it is the original Toyota wheel which will not work with the large 33 inch tires. The only reason the truck is for sale is because I currently live outside of the US. I would naturally have fixed the issues it has before putting up for sale but I was only in the states for 5 days on my last trip and simply did not have the time. Right now the truck is in a covered garage in my building. The title is free and clear and ready to hand over. The auction has no reserve but the Atlas II transfer case on its own is $2400 new! This is barely $600 less than the starting price so right there you almost get the entire truck for free! Add on the V8 engine and automatic trans with barely break in miles on them and this whole package can be a steal! Just watch the videos and see that this truck looks and sounds great! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqPPWYmfiw8#t=14 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx8R5BuSIxA |

Weekly Recap: Bentley Bentayga leads luxury SUV charge at Frankfurt
Sat, Sep 12 2015The Bentley Bentayga is launching a new era of ultra high-end sport utility vehicles that will see luxury makers vie for the world's richest and most exclusive customers. The Bentayga is Bentley's first SUV, and it will formally debut next week at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It's loaded with Bentley's best technology and features, led by a 600-horsepower W12 engine. The mission is simple: stop giving up sales to other companies by not having an SUV in its portfolio. "It creates an entirely new category of ultra-luxury SUV, where there are currently few rivals," IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher said in a report. But Bentley and the Bentayga will soon face stiff competition. Archrival Rolls-Royce will produce its own crossover to be built in England, though timing is unclear. Lamborghini has approved plans for a ute that will be assembled in Italy and launch in 2018. Even the sportier British brands are getting into the market. Aston Martin will make a crossover version of the DBX concept shown earlier this year in Geneva, and Jaguar is launching the F-Pace crossover, which will debut in Frankfurt. These new entries will invigorate a segment that's comprised of the Mercedes G63 AMG and the Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography, and Bentley is poised to grab a large share of it, Fletcher noted. IHS forecasts Bentayga sales could hit 3,000 units per year in 2017 and 2018, pushing total Bentley sales to more than 10,000 in the next few years. The vehicle will also get plug-in hybrid and diesel variants to widen its reach. The Bentayga is a sales grab, for sure, but Bentley took care to ensure the SUV remained true to the brand. It's laden with the top-shelf wood, leather, and metal, and it comes standard with an expansive panoramic glass roof. It also has intelligent features like electronic night vision and an optional responsive off-road system that can be configured to adapt to eight different settings. It's a different kind of Bentley, but it's a harbinger of things to come for the world's richest luxury makers. Other News & Notes Toyota debuts next-gen Prius Toyota revealed the next-generation of its iconic fuel-sipping hybrid, the 2016 Prius, at an event in Las Vegas. The car promises 10-percent gains in fuel efficiency, though actual figures – and even powertrain specifics – were not revealed. We estimate that could mean about 56 miles per gallon in city driving and 53 on the highway.
Toyota updates 86 in Japan with this weird special edition
Wed, Feb 11 2015In their constant drive for perfection, Japanese automakers Toyota and Subaru have both announced some minor updates for their jointly produced sports car specifically for their domestic market. Both the Toyota 86 (known in these parts as the Scion FR-S) and the Subaru BRZ are getting a revised version of the electric power steering system they were designed with in the first place as well as a reworked suspension. The more intriguing news, though, is the strange restyling Toyota is offering on the 86 Style Cb edition. Ditching the aggressively angular front end of the existing model, this special edition gets rounded headlamps and an extended nose to give it a much less severe face. The Toyota 86 Style Cb is also being offered with an optional two-tone paint scheme and gets unique LED turning indicator strips, a special badge on the bulbous snout and revised interior trim. We'll chalk it up to a matter of personal taste, but as far as JDM specials go, this special edition isn't one over which we'll be terribly disappointed if it never makes it to US showrooms. We'll be sure to keep you posted if and when any of the mechanical updates make the trip across the Pacific, though. Related Video:
TMG's super Lexus LS Sports 650 gets track tested
Thu, 05 Sep 2013The people at Toyota Motorsport GmbH have been responsible for the Japanese automaker's motorsports efforts since the 1970s, but since Toyota pulled out of Formula One after the 2009 season, the tuning shop has been developing a super sedan based on the Lexus LS called the Sports 650. Details on TMG's first road car have been scarce, but XCAR was recently invited to drive the 641-horsepower Lexus on track.
Here's what we know: the Sports 650 has enough power to sprint to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds, tops out at 199 mph, weighs over two tons and utilizes LFA brakes. Oh, and its twin-turbo V8 bellows like an AMG V8. That last part isn't surprising when considering TMG could become Toyota's in-house tuning arm - like AMG is to Mercedes-Benz. As for the bespoke body kit, fender flares and stacked exhaust pipes? They fit the car well and even remind us a bit of Lexus' other high-performance sedan, the IS F. Currently there are no plans for the Sports 650 to be made into a production car, but we doubt TMG is devoting this much effort developing the LS into a road-rocket for nothing.
Check out XCAR's video below to see the AMG-fighter wrung out on track, and then ponder what could be if TMG were let loose to fiddle with other cars in Lexus' lineup. Now that's something we could get used to!
