1985 Toyota 4 Runner Crawler
'99 Chevy Vortec 4.3, 4 speed auto 4L60E w/ shift kit mated to Toyota t-case.
T-case is a twin stick Marlin Crawler 4.3:1 case. Aussie Lockers front and rear with Cryo treated 5.29's.
Longfield Super 30's, Longfield 4340 inner hub gears, chromoly knuckle studs, hub studs, etc.
3 Link w/pan hard rear, FOX 2.0 Shocks. Extended wheelbase, dovetailed. Leafs up front with high steer and hydro assist.
35"x16"x15" Super Swaper Boggers on 15x10 steel. May or may not include Milemarker 9500 front and Warn rear winchs.
Tooo much to list, and a good bit of spare parts. The Vortec had 55,000 miles on it when I put in around Sept. 2006. From there it has maybe a max of 1000 trail miles.
Transmission was a complete professional rebuild with an aggressive shift kit. (It will chirp the Boggers on dry pavement going from 1st to second)
I got this Virginia truck from a friend around Nov. 2004. From there I rebuilt the thing from ground up, replacing anything and everything until I got it all done in August 2006.
Sept 2006 is when it hit the trails for first time. I have wheeled it from PA to AL, and it has taken everything in stride.
Currently it needs some minor work to get it running. I had swapped in a 10 gallon fuel cell with foam inside, which has been a nightmare. The foam has degraded and was clogging (BOTH) fuel filters.
I have just pulled the foam out and tossed it, and put 2 new fuel filters in place. I am guessing all fuel line needs purged/cleaned, along with fuel cell and probably fresh high octane and it should be good again.
I am just at the point that I am tired of working on it and there are not many locals that wheel enough and can keep up on the trails.
Also consider, I am looking for a Polaris RZR, or a Polaris Sportsman. (looking to buy new, but never know what you may find)
I have over $20,000 invested in building this rig right from the ground up.. seems like a lot, until you start doing what I have done to build it.
I didn't skimp on cheap parts just to get it together. I am fully aware I will get nowhere near what I have in to this thing, and would make a lot more parting it out, but that is not something I want to do.
All that being said, I will not entertain low ball offers. If you are looking at this, you know what it is and what these cost to build. This is not a Kelly Blue Book vehicle.

Toyota GT86 GT4 racer is ready for UK competition
Tue, 05 Feb 2013It's about time we saw someone cook up a legitimate race version of the delectable Toyota GT86, and now it looks as if GPRM has done just that. The Buckingham-based race engineering team has built the creation you see here, complete with a turbocharged 2.0-liter, direct-injection four-cylinder boxer cooked up by Nicholson McLaren Engines. The team says the new mill delivers between 360 and 400 horsepower to the rear wheels depending on final testing, which is a sight bit more than the 197 horses the naturally aspirated stock mill offers.
The car will compete in GT4 events, including the Avon Tyres British GT Championship. Technically, the GPRM effort isn't factory backed, but the team says the effort "has the blessing of Toyota Great Britain." How could it not? You can check out the brief press release below below, and be sure to take a closer look at the machine in our gallery.
Toyota raises Japanese base wages for first time since 2008
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Toyota is on track for record profits, and in return, its Japanese workers are receiving their first increase in base wages since 2008, plus higher pay based on seniority and a larger bonus for 2014. The Japanese automaker predicts the average laborer will net a 2.9 percent income gain.
The average Toyota employee will earn 2,700 yen ($26.28) more each month, a 0.8 percent increase from last year. Workers will also receive about 7,300 yen ($71.09) more monthly based on seniority and promotions. Finally, the company's union pushed through a median bonus of 2.44 million yen ($23,768) for 2014, the highest in 6 years.
The pay boost comes as Toyota forecasts a record 1.9-trillion yen ($18.5 billion) profit for the fiscal year ending on March 31, according to Bloomberg. It has been helped by the Japanese government's efforts to weaken the yen on international markets and expand inflation. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been asking businesses to increase compensation to end years of deflation and offset upcoming higher sales taxes. Honda and Nissan have also raised their wages there in recent months.
Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced
Thu, 17 Oct 2013The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.
