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.

2020 Kia Soul vs. subcompact crossovers: How they compare on paper

Fri, Mar 1 2019

At 10 years old, the 2020 Kia Soul has entered its third, and potentially best, generation yet. To get here, it fought off other boxy hatchbacks such as the Scion xB and Nissan Cube. But now it faces all new competition: subcompact crossovers. They offer similar sizes, prices and flexibility as the Soul, but with a veneer of ruggedness. But the Soul is ready with its own rugged trim, the X-Line, plus the return of its powerful turbocharged variant. To see how the Soul stacks up to the fresh competition, we've compiled vital stats on all the tall hatches. Considering the prodigious size of the subcompact crossover segment, we've limited our selection to a few options that are similarly priced and sized to the Soul, and that offer a bit of funky styling. They include the Toyota C-HR, Nissan Kicks, Hyundai Kona and Honda HR-V. There are of course many more options, and you can create your own comparisons using our Compare Cars feature. (You can also check out our Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross comparison that includes a few larger choices). In the meantime, though, check out all the numbers on our selected vehicles in the chart below, followed by analysis after. Performance, fuel economy and drivetrains The crossover segment is diverse when it comes to powertrains, with all different displacements, induction systems and drive wheels. A surprising number of these supposedly rugged and off-road-oriented vehicles (at least more than normal cars) are front-drive only. These include the Nissan Kicks, Toyota C-HR and Kia Soul. But the Kona and HR-V offer all-wheel drive, with the Hyundai offering it on both engine options. Speaking of engine options, only the Kia and Hyundai have two possibilities, either a base 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, or a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine. The base engines have identical outputs of 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque, but the turbo engines differ. The Soul has 201 horsepower to the Hyundai's 175, but both make the same 195 pound-feet of torque. The Kicks, C-HR and HR-V all offer just one engine option, and they're all naturally aspirated. The Nissan's engine is the smallest and least powerful: a 1.6-liter engine making 125 horsepower and 115 pound-feet of torque. The HR-V is next with a 1.8-liter engine making 141 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque. The C-HR rounds out the trio at 144 horsepower and 139 pound-feet of torque from a 2.0-liter engine.

2021 Toyota Camry AWD vs. midsize all-wheel-drive sedans | How they compare on paper

Thu, Nov 14 2019

Just as crossovers have become the dominant body style in the car market, the all-wheel drive they frequently feature has become more popular. In fact, all-wheel drive is so popular that automakers are increasingly putting it in traditional cars. The latest car to add driven wheels is the 2021 Toyota Camry. It will offer all-wheel drive on most of its trim levels, though only with the four-cylinder engine. It isn't alone in this market, though. So we've compiled the Camry's specifications, along with those of a couple of its competitors for comparison. For the purposes of this analysis, we're sticking with the AWD veteran 2020 Subaru Legacy equipped with a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter engine and the relative newcomer 2020 Nissan Altima. Both are similar in pricing and power to Camry. We've skipped the turbocharged Legacy and the turbocharged Ford Fusion with all-wheel drive as both have higher base prices and significantly more power. We'll take a look at these three sedans engine output, fuel economy, pricing and space. Below is a chart with all the raw numbers, and below that is more in-depth discussion of the cars. Performance and Fuel Economy These sedans are very closely matched, but one area where a clear winner emerges is in output. The Camry has a solid 21 horsepower and roughly 10 pound-feet of torque over the Subaru and Nissan. This, despite all of the engines having the same displacement. That power should make it quicker than the approximately 50-pound-heavier Subaru, though the Nissan Altima may stay with it thanks to its curb weight being about 100 pounds less than the Toyota. Also worth noting is that only the Toyota offers a traditional automatic transmission, whereas the Subaru and Nissan rely on CVTs. Subaru and Nissan have both dramatically improved their CVTs to the point they're quite unobtrusive, but if you strongly prefer the feel of softly shifting gears, the Toyota is your choice. In our experience, all three of these sedans are pleasant to drive with suspension and handling clearly tuned in favor of comfort over quickness. Fuel economy is close to a dead heat. Toyota hasn't announced official fuel economy numbers for the all-wheel-drive model, but we can estimate that, as with most all-wheel-drive variants, mileage will be slightly lower than normal models. We're betting it will only about 1 mpg worse than front-drive variants. That puts it in the same 29 to 30 mpg overall range as the Subaru and Nissan.
