If you’ve been looking for a good deal of a great 4Runner this is the auction you’ve been looking for, and NO it’s not a typo…IT’S IN MICHIGAN!!!!

I bought this truck back when there was a lot of snow on the ground. I travel a lot for work and wanted a 4X4 for the bad Michigan winter. Now that the weather is better I see no reason to continue to pay insurance for 2 vehicles so it’s time for the 4Runner to go.

 

It’s a 2000 SR5 V6 (5VZ FE) with a Toyota supercharger. The truck and motor (3.4L) have approx. 198K, and the super charger has approx. 60K. The previous owner, who use to be a Toyota mechanic, installed it, along with a new timing belt, about 60K ago.

This is my first experience with a supercharger, and this truck runs better, faster, and with more torque than any other Toyota I have ever owned, and  I love the low pitched whine it make when I accelerate.

But, like I said I have no reason to pay for 2 vehicles so my loss is your gain…..here’s the specs.

Exterior:

The truck is 15 years old, but as you can clearly see from all the pictures it has been VERY WELL taken care of. There are a few spots of surface rust starting to show, the seam between the body panel and the rear bumper, the rear bumper, and a few other spots I’ve taken pictures of. The rocker panels on both sides have some pretty bad rust spots, under the vehicle, out of view, unless you’re looking for them. Other than that, the finish is fantastic, some paint chips that have been touched up, but, the best looking 15 year old 4X4 I’ve ever seen.  The wheels have some road rash, very repairable minor surface scratches. The tires are new, as you can see from the pictures, the receipt for them is in the glove box. They only have about 15K on them, and have recently been rotated. The emblems on the back of the truck have been removed, and the rear taillights have been replaced with black-outs, there are black window guards,  black bug guard, and a front brush guard, black, which makes for a fantastic look.

Interior:

The condition of the interior is also fantastic, there is a rip in the rear seat, and a stain in the cargo area, other than that it’s near perfect. There are no rips in the driver’s seat where that usually wear out, the original cargo cover is still there, and fully functional. There is an aftermarket AM/FM/CD/DVD/GPS touch screen in the dash, and the dash panel has been filled out to fit it. This truck is incredibly clean even under the rear seats are spotless. The floor mats are aftermarket but they look good in the truck, front and rear. Everything in the truck works fine, PW, PL, PM, moon roof, heat, and cold AC, the rear window goes up and down, all gauges work fine, and the dash lights for ABS, 4X4, OD Off, cruise, brake, and everything else are functional, and there are NO warning lights on as you can see from the picture of the truck going down the road.

Under the Hood:

As you can see from the photo’s the motor is clean (well taken care of), the timing belt cover had to be notched to fit the supercharger. There is a K&N air filter, just cleaned. I had to replace the knock sensors, so I also put in new plugs (1 step colder, as recommended for the supercharger), wires, PCV valve, drive belt, and all new gaskets. I had to replace the battery, see receipt. I also installed a remote starter. The latch for the hood is sticky and doesn’t always latch the first time.

 

Overall:

There is one small chip in the bottom of the windshield, out of view, and the power antenna has been replaced with a rigid mast antenna, but reception is fine. The clear coat around the hood scoop is starting to peal. I had the oil changes done at the dealership, and they did a thorough inspection of brakes, suspension, etc., and found no problems. I have the Car Fax for the truck, there was one small incident that lists as minor damage but otherwise a clear report. I will email it upon request. The emergency brake doesn't work. 

Although this truck has almost 200K on it, based on my opinion of the condition of this truck, it has at least another 100K left on it. And possible more if you continue to take care of this truck.

The photos are the best representation of this 4Runner I could get, but if you have any questions or would like to request specific photo’s please let me know. No 0 feedback bidding unless approved by me. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required at the close of the auction and the vehicle must be picked up within 7 days of completed auction

Thank You, and Happy Bidding

Toyota mini doc chronicles Tundra towing Space Shuttle Endeavor

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

Toyota has worked up a quick video detailing the brand's involvement in the transportation of the Space Shuttle Endeavour last year. As you may recollect, the California Science Center ran into a hitch when it came to moving Endeavour from LAX to its new home. While most of the route would be covered by a robotically controlled transporter, one portion of the route directed the shuttle over an interstate. Unfortunately, the bridge across wasn't designed to stand up to the weight of the shuttle and its motorized sled.
The Science Center would have to remove Endeavour from its transporter and place it on a lighter, non-motorized sled. That's where longtime Science Center sponsor Toyota came in. As it turns out, the automaker had to prove to the California Science Center that a Tundra could actually tow the massive shuttle, so engineers put on a little demonstration with a stock truck pulling the equivalent weight over flat ground for the same distance. Once the Science Center was satisfied that the Tundra could pull it off, the move was green lit and the rest is history. Check out the short documentary below for yourself.

More powerful 2017 Toyota 86 takes over for the Scion FR-S

Thu, Mar 17 2016

Scion is dead, and the FR-S name passes away with it. The rear-wheel-drive sports coupe isn't gone, though, because it's now the the 2017 Toyota 86. To match the new moniker, the latest model finally has a little extra power and more aggressive styling. The public debut will take place at next week's New York Auto Show, and sales begin this fall. "When we announced the transition of the Scion models to Toyota we hadn't planned on changing the names of our cars, but by popular demand, for our sports car, we decided to adopt the global name of 86," said Toyota Division Group Vice President Bill Fay. The 2.0-liter boxer-four's output grows to 205 horsepower and 156 pound-feet of torque – increases of 5 hp and 5 lb-ft – on manual-transmission models. The 86 still isn't the turbocharged rear-wheel-drive coupe of some people's dreams, but at least this is an improvement. (Buyers who opt for the automatic will have to make do with less power and fewer pedals.) Toyota also promises "additional performance" thanks to different gear ratios for the six-speed manual transmission, and there's now Hill Start Assist Control. New shock tuning and spring rates will affect the handling, too. The 86 wears a meaner look than the outgoing FR-S. The biggest change is a new front bumper with a large intake that stretches across the coupe's width, and the two sharp points along the bottom look like teeth ready to chomp down. Toyota also replaces the headlights and taillights with LED units. The twist-spoke wheels are a great accompaniment to the more aggressive look, too. The tweaks are more modest inside, including silver stitching and new materials for the dashboard and doors. Toyota will also display the C-HR crossover concept again in the Big Apple. We won't see the production version until later this year, and sales won't begin until spring 2017 as a 2018 model.

The former Scion FR-S will debut as the 2017 Toyota 86 at the New York International Auto Show with interior and exterior changes, as well as suspension and powertrain upgrades. The new Toyota 86 will go on sale at all Toyota dealerships this fall.

What to do if the infotainment in your Lexus isn't working

Wed, Jun 8 2016

According to Toyota, "errant data from our traffic and weather data service provider" caused the infotainment systems in 2014-2016 Lexus vehicles and the 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser to go into some sort of endless reboot loop. The video above shows what that looks like, in case you're interested. Obviously, it's not good – the malfunction means the audio systems, navigation and climate control systems aren't working properly, and that the hands-free mobile phone function won't work. Apparently, some owners were able to manually fix their cars by disconnecting the battery cables for 10 minutes, which forces the car's computer systems to restart. But Toyota isn't officially suggesting that people take that action. Instead, "Toyota and Lexus owners experiencing these issues should visit their dealer for a complimentary system reset and a confirmation of the system," the automaker said in a statement. It's worth noting that issues with the usability of modern infotainment systems have caused customer satisfaction scores to drop. Lexus, though, has been mostly immune to such complaints, having come in first place in J.D. Power's most recent Vehicle Dependability study. Not that you should automatically trust those findings, anyway... Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
