This 85 4Runner is from out west and has very minimal rust. I purchased this to fix-up and use for summer cruising. I have since realized I really don't need it. I have other tools and equipment I need worse than a toy. I purchased the truck non running and have replaced the transmission, exhaust, and rebuilt the motor with new rings, bearings and exhaust valves. The motor was all within factory specs so it is standard bore and bearing sizes, just a quick hone in the cylinders. I went this route since the motor was in factory spec otherwise I would have had it machined or would of replaced it. I'm not going to waste my time on junk. This runs through all 5 gears and reverse fine no grinding or bad noises. Transfercase and 4wd all work as they should. I used them in the snow. The tires are 31x10.5x15 Super Swampers on American Racing wheels. Tires are worn but still have some life in them. There is no radio. The factory harness appears to be intact not hacked up by some punk. It does need a windshield and has some bumps and bruises that can be seen in the pictures. I have the sheet metal to repair the damage below the driverside tail light. This is a good start for a restoration, turning into an offroad beast or daily driver. The rust is only on the outer quarter panel, all the inner structure is real nice. The wheel well trim had to be the cause of the rust. This truck isn't perfect but then again it isn't priced like a perfect truck either. I love these old straight axle 4Runners but at this time I have greater needs/wants. I am looking for skid steer loader, plasma cutter, surface grinder, machine shop size mill, lathe (no table top), CNC, quality tools, Lexus Gs, 10,000 trailer,things that go boom,etc. Let me know what you have. Make me an offer. Worst I can say is no. I would be willing to purchase someones item of equal, greater or lesser value if they purchase my 4Runner. I can assist in shipping, possibly deliver. I will not handle the shipping. I will help with loading and whatever the shipper needs. I would be willing to possibly deliver for an agreed price before the end of the auction. Please contact me before bidding about shipping, please do not assume we agree.I would be willing to hold this if someone that is waiting for their taxes if a not refundable deposit is made. Please contact me with your intentions if this plan seem desireable. Again please do not assume. Please feel free to ask any questions or come inspect/drive. Feel free to call me at `309-738-six741

Toyota Prius sets a different kind of Nurburgring lap record [w/video]
Tue, 15 Jul 2014Scroll 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.
VW targeting 10M sales in 2014
Sun, 16 Mar 2014Volkswagen Group believes it can sell over 10 million vehicles in 2014, with hopes of overtaking Toyota as the world's largest automaker in the process. If VW can do it, it would meet that goal four years earlier than planned. Of course, Toyota isn't sitting still - it also hopes to top the 10 million-car threshold this year and has the advantage of already holding the top spot.
"With rising volume and new models, we will increasingly see positive earnings effects as well," said VW Group CEO Martin Winterkorn during its annual press conference, according to Automotive News. The company is spending huge amounts of money to propel it to the top, investing 84.2 billion euros ($117 billion) through 2018, and according to AN it plans to introduce over 100 new models worldwide among all of its brands by the end of next year.
The German automaker may get an extra boost as the European car industry shows signs of emerging from its yearlong stagnation and China continues to grow. In January, VW Group was up 8.5 percent in Europe and 15.5 percent in China, according to its own figures. However, the US has been slowing with Volkswagen brand sales down 19.04 percent in January and down 13.81 percent in February.
Toyota struggling in Latin American market, attempting recovery
Fri, 30 Aug 2013With uncertainty in the US and Chinese markets, automakers are scrambling to rev up their efforts in what were traditionally secondary markets. Take Toyota's efforts in Latin America. A recent story from The Wall Street Journal highlights the Japanese brand's push in the southern hemisphere, particularly in Brazil, where it has expanded its operations and installed new executives with a greater range of powers, all in a bid to grab a bigger slice of the ever-growing South American pie.
South America is dominated by General Motors, Fiat and Volkswagen, which maintain a combined 60 percent of the market share - Toyota holds a mere 4.5 percent. The WSJ spoke with Steve St. Angelo, Toyota's boss in Latin America, who said, "We are playing catch up, but we're catching up fast. We now have the resources to give the region the attention it really needs and deserves."
That attention includes an all-new, locally produced small car called the Etios. As bewildering as it seems, Toyota wasn't competing in the low-cost economy car market in South America. With the Etios, which arrived in September of 2012, its sales in the first seven months of 2013 are up 75 percent.
