Here is the most desirable of all the 4Runners; the 1985 with fuel injection and a solid front axle!  Just get on YouTube and search 4runners and see how many with carburetors bog down!  If you are serious about off roading than obviously the solid front axle is the way to go.  


I would love to keep this but I found a replacement for my 92 Accord wagon which gets much better gas mileage.  This is such a great platform for whatever you want to build.  It is rough around the edges as you can see from the pictures, but overall it is in pretty good shape.  You can tell it has been a Colorado vehicle since the rust is minimal.  There is rust around the rear wheel wells, but that is the worst of it.  

It runs a bit rough and I'm not sure why.  When I test drove it it would die when I would slow down to turn a corner.  The guy I bought it from suspects the distributor. He also said that it doesn't do this once it is warmed up.  I haven't confirmed this so bid accordingly.   The check engine light goes on and off intermittently.  It starts right up without any smoke or bad noises.  It stops well and steers well but as you can see from the photos it needs tires.  You were going to replace the tires anyway when you added the lift kit, right?   The rear power window works with both the inside switch as well as the key in the door.  Glass is in pretty good shape although the latch on the sunroof should be replaced.  

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.  PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING OR MAKING AN OFFER!  As you can see in my feedback some jerk left negative feedback when all he had to do was clarify some things with me before he bid.  I will do my best to answer any questions that you have.  This vehicle has a clean Colorado title.  I will be leaving town June 25th - July 7 so plan on arranging shipping prior.  If you need to wait to pick it up or have it delivered we can certainly discuss that as a possibility.  Thanks for looking and enjoy the auction!

2014 Toyota 4Runner Limited

Thu, 08 May 2014

What would you say if we told you that outside of Jeep and Land Rover, the best brand for those who want to go off road is Toyota? Sounds remarkable, eh? But the truth is, Toyota's history of providing vehicles for the rougher bits of our blue marble dates back to 1950, barely a decade after Willys built the first Jeeps and only a few years after Land Rover made its big debut with the iconic Series I.
In fact, Toyota's start in off-roaders was with a small contract for providing the US Army with vehicles, during the Korean War. From that, the BJ was spawned. This Jeep-like vehicle evolved into the 20 Series and then into the iconic 40 Series Land Cruiser in the 1960s.
So yes, Toyota knows its way around the trails. While the Land Cruiser, deservedly, gets all the attention thanks to its impressive longevity, we're partial to the 4Runner, which is a far more affordable entry that serves as Toyota's challenger to the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Toyota Prius sets a different kind of Nurburgring lap record [w/video]

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Scroll down the leaderboards of Nürburgring lap times and you'll see mostly racing cars, supercars and sports cars. Delve deep enough and you'll eventually get to hatchbacks and sedans, albeit the most performance-focused of their kind. But a hybrid? Sure, the Porsche 918 Spyder posted the top time for a street-legal series production car, and it's technically a hybrid, but we're talking about another kind of hybrid here. We're talking about a Toyota Prius.
That's right: the Prius just set a lap record around the Nordschleife. But it wasn't for the lap time. In fact, miles per hour barely factored in (except for staying above the minimum 37-mph average speed mandated on the vaunted racing circuit). No, this was about miles per gallon.
Toyota took one of its Prius Plug-In hybrids to the Nürburgring, topped up the battery, put on a set of low-rolling-resistance tires and put automotive journalist Joe Clifford behind the wheel with a mandate to use as little fuel as possible. After one second shy of 21 minutes, the Prius completed its lap having used just five tablespoons of fuel.
