Up for auction is a California Survivor!

A first generation

1989 Toyota 4Runner with oversized mud tires!

 

A daily driver. This vehicle is being sold to make room for a pickup truck that

will replace it for my new job.  Just driven from Los Angeles County to South Lake Tahoe.

 

A nice candidate for a Rock Crawler. A rare color of Toyota for this year.

 

The vehicle just had a brake job and a new master cylinder installed by a certified mechanic.

In addition, the vehicle just had a brand new battery installed.

 

We have removed chipped paint from the side, about 2 feet by 2 feet. 

We sanded it to bare sheet metal and then primered it.  This work was just done.

The area is ready to be repainted.

 

It starts every time and is reliable.  The door locks should be replaced.  I have the

 ignition key and I have been just opening with the sliding glass of the convertible

 hood. Locking the doors but unlocking by sliding the window open in the back. The

 gas gauge is also not accurate but the odometer is and will be slightly different as

 the truck will be used a bit this week.The interior is in overall good shape and

cleaned.  

Overall, this is a reliable 4x4

 that would make a fun off road and winter transport

or top down in the summer kind of vehicle.

Fun and highly sought after.

Please see the numerous photos and feel free to ask questions.

 

 

Please note that this vehicle is being sold, "As is and Where is". It is well used but not abused.

with the DMV.It is also the responsibility of the buyer to research the emission in your state.  We can make no claims or

 verify that it will clear or not clear the emission of your state.I can assist with the logistics of shipping.

For a prearranged negotiated fee amicable to both parties before the auction ends, I can drive the vehicle to

 Sacramento or the San Francisco area or ?  Just please help by getting your plan preapproved

so that we are on the very same page.  I am in Los Angeles a lot and I am in San Jose a lot.

Toyota releases its Le Mans recap, 'The Ultimate Endurance Race'

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Two weeks ago, Audi released its short video about this years 24 Hours of Le Mans, and now Toyota has put the experience into its own words and pictures. Called The Ultimate Endurance Race, the clip and accompanying press release focus on how hybrid power helped Toyota claim second and fourth places with the TS030 Hybrid in just its second year competing at Le Mans.
There are some brief scenes of the battles had this year, like when Lucas di Grassi in the Toyota almost kissed Allan McNish in the Audi above, but the best part might be when Toyota promises it will be back. Next year, it's gonna be good. You'll find the relevant words and the images just below.

Toyota shows a smoother autonomous Lexus for CES

Fri, Jan 4 2019

Toyota is bringing a new research vehicle to CES. The TRI-P4 autonomous driving test vehicle, based on the Lexus LS500h, is a major step ahead, according to Toyota, as it has improved computing power and additional cameras for better reaction times. Earlier test mules have also used the LS as a basis, and the shift to the new, fifth generation LS brings chassis and steering-control benefits, so the vehicle's movements are smoother in automated mode. The camera tech has also been better integrated into the vehicle design, courtesy of CALTY in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Development has been swift, as the TRI's P2.1 car was unveiled in 2017. The P4 car will be used for Toyota Research Institute's Guardian and Chauffeur mode development. The two tiers differ somewhat, as TRI's Ryan Eustice explains: "Our Chauffeur development is focused on full autonomy, where the human is essentially removed from the driving equation, either completely in all environments, or within a restricted driving domain. Guardian, on the other hand, is being designed to amplify human performance behind the wheel, not replace it. The introduction of the new P4 platform will help us accelerate the development of both tracks when it joins our fleet this spring." The vehicle's situational awareness is boosted by two extra cameras facing on the sides, and a new imaging sensor both forward and rearward. Toyota says the P4's lidar setup is a carryover from the previous platform, but that its machine learning is much improved by its more powerful computer setup. The electricity required by the P4's computing power also comes from the hybrid battery, and as the computer "brain" is now housed vertically against the rear seat's backing, actual trunk space has been freed. More LS500hs will begin to be modified into TRI-P4 vehicles during spring 2019. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Toyota's car subscription service rewards you for safe driving

Tue, Feb 5 2019

Toyota has teamed up with Sumitomo Mitsui Auto Service Company to launch a new car subscription service with gamification elements in Japan. The program is called Kinto, and it'll offer two tiers: the first, called Kinto One, will allow you to drive one Toyota vehicle over a three-year period for anywhere between $420 and $900 a month. When the tier becomes available on March 1st, you can choose from the available Prius, Corolla Sport, Alphard, Vellfire and Crown models. The other tier called Kinto Select will give you the power to drive one of the available Lexus-branded vehicles for $1,630 a month for three years. Now, what truly makes Kinto potentially more interesting than other leasing services is a rewards program that awards points based on how well you drive. Toyota didn't really expound on how it will work, other than saying that it will "award points to customers based on their vehicle usage (such as for safe or ecological driving)." As TechCrunch notes, the assumption is that the vehicle's in-car connected system will come with the ability to monitor your driving. Best thing about it is that the points you earn aren't useless rewards you can't even use: you'll be able to apply them toward payments. Kinto's Select option will be available starting on February 6th, almost a full month before the more affordable Kinto One launches. Both will be available via select dealers in Tokyo on a trial basis, and they won't officially roll out across Japan until summer. The points program won't be available until fall, when Kinto One's options will also expand. Unfortunately, there's no word on whether Kinto will eventually roll out in the US and other markets outside Toyota's home nation.For more information on Vehicle Subscription Services, check out the Complete Guide.Reporting by Mariella Moon for Engadget.Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
