2001 Toyota 4runner Sr5 Sport Utility 4-door 3.4l on 2040-cars
Lansing, Michigan, United States
|
I purchased it almost 1.5 years ago from a Honda dealer in Southgate, MI. It was a one owner, woman owned vehicle. No accidents. It had 104,xxx when I bought it and it now has just over 116,xxx. Everything works, it is mechanically and structurally sound. It does not leak, or burn any fluids. Fly and drive, I am 15 minutes from Lansing Capital Airport. I would rather a local sale as I am more interested in a partial trade for a decent, reliable small car with the difference being made in cash on the buyers end. Some of the pictures were taken prior to the Monstaliner going on. The odometer reading pictured is also incorrect. The 4runner is sitting at 116,760 miles as of 10/25/2013. Here is the run down on the good and bad.... The bad: Rust on the drivers rocker. Some perforation but it is not entirely gone. There is some spatter on the interior door panels from the Monstaliner. Its not bad, but it is there. The fabric on the door panel on the drivers door is pulling away from the plastic. Ive been meaning to glue it back on, just haven't. One of the elements in the rear defroster has lost continuity. But the defroster works otherwise. The Good: Everything works. Power windows, rear window, all transfer case functions, high low range. All buttons, switches work their appropriate accessories and all the accessories work. All fluids other than the brake and power steering fluid have been change and any accompanying filters. Transmission was fully flushed in my driveway. My intention in building this up was first and foremost to make it a safe daily driver. New parts I have added/replaced since I took ownership. - All fluids were changed except the brake and power steering fluid. Synthetics were used were available, which is just about everything. The transmission got a full flush in my driveway, almost 21 quarts. - Yokohama Geolander AT/s tires, LT 256-75-16 have about 10,000 miles on them. Tread can be seen in one of the photos. - OME 881/890 lift from Toytec. OME 90004 springs in the front and Monroe Magnum for an FJ80 in the rear. $700 - Toytec rear upper adjustable control arms to bring the pinion back in alignment. $450 - SPC/Light Racing front upper control arms to bring the caster back after lifting. $400 - Sonoran Steel adjustable panhard bar. $250 - New lower ball joints. 555 brand. $120 - New inner and outer tie rods. 555 brand. $175 - Poly steering rack bushings. From Wheelers Offroad. $20 - New Steering Guide. OE. $60. Installed less than 100 miles ago. - New Denso Radiator $100 - New Aux Tranny cooler. I believe its a 24,000btu unit, but it could be a 19,000. Run in series with the radiator. $60 - New Denso AC compressor, condensor, drier/filter, expansion valve. $550 total in parts. - New rear driveshaft built locally using 1310 series u-joints. I JUST rebuilt it as well. All 3 joints and the centering ball. $485 - Tundra Brake upgrade on the front with the 231 calipers. $330 - New rear brakes, shoes, drums, springs etc. $225 - Kenwood KIV bt-900 stereo and Cobra 18 WX STII in the dash. I custom mount these to fit into the double din opening. Looks OE. - Custom built rear drawer system. - Color matched Monstaliner on the entire body. - Timing belt service done this past summer. I also replaced the fan bracket. Aisin water pump, OE thermostat, Koyo and NSK pulleys and Mitsobushi belt. I also have the 3 Toyota seals but did not use them since nothing was leaking. New Toyota crank bolt as well. $400 The sway bars and skid plates are currently not installed. If you want to reinstall the sway bars, new links and mounts will need to be purchased. I found that with the stiffer OME suspension, the sway bars are not only not necessary, but make the ride very harsh. I also have the OE rear upper control arms that will go with the runner. I have most of the receipts. The ones I am missing are from the orders I placed with Rock Auto for the timing kit, the ball joints and inner/outer tire rods. Im sure Im missing a few others as well. But I take my maintenance serious since I trust this vehicle to haul my wife and kids around. No corner has been cut to insure it is a safe, reliable vehicle. I have been running Pennzoil Platinum in it for the past 10,000 miles as well. PLEASE feel free to ask me any questions or if you want an image of a specific location or part. |

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists
Sat, Oct 24 2015Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
Eiji Toyoda dead at 100
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Toyota has had number of chiefs over its 76-year history, but none ever served as long as Eiji Toyoda. The younger cousin of the company's founder served as president of the automaker from 1967 to 1982 and as chairman of the Toyota Motor Corporation for another ten years following the unification of the manufacturing and sales divisions.
During his 25 years at the helm, Eiji Toyoda (pictured above in 1967) was credited with establishing the company's headquarters in Toyota City, spearheading the development of the Prius, expanding production overseas for the first time, launching the Lexus brand and turning Toyota from a minor player into one of the largest automakers in the world.
Even after his retirement in 1992, he remained an honorary chairman and close advisor to his successors, and chaired the company's museum. He died of heart failure, ending a 100-year life that started on September 12, 1913, before the company that bore his family's name (albeit slightly modified) had even started building automatic looms, let alone automobiles. We extend our condolences to the Toyoda family and our congratulations on an accomplished life.
YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
