Sweet 1st generation 4Runner out of Grand Junction, CO (title, plates, records) came from original owner (truly a little old lady), through a broker in GA to me in UT.  Appears to have sat since sometime 4/22/12 (last registration) until only recently.  I bought it (on eBay) in August, shipped it to here to Salt Lake City, UT and was reminded just how slowly these little trucks traverse the steep mountain foothill streets around the Salt Lake Valley.  Perfect for a teenager nearing permit age, right? WRONG!!!  My spoiled teenager will NOT be enjoying this truck, he simply DOES NOT deserve it!  IT MUST GO or he'll think he has the option of driving it this Spring when he turns 15.

This classic truck has a very impressive score on AutoCheck of 55 (given a range of 13-37) but it isn't without needs to make it perfect (if that is what you're looking to do).  This is a great truck and owning one was on MY bucket list since high school.  The broker that procured it from the original owner vouches that the top has never been removed on the truck since new.  I spotted the truck on Bring a Trailer and chose to send for it instead of driving it back from GA myself.  I wasn't at all disappointed with the truck, but moreover am deeply disappointed with my teen's attitude towards the privilege of driving and the responsibilities of doing so that go along with it.  My/his loss, is someone else's gain.

An inspection by an independent mechanic here in Salt Lake (Steve's Automotive Specialists) found;

  • Torn rear wiper blade needs replaced (done).
  • Brake and Transmission Fluid need flushed (also done).
  • Engine has oil "seep" but no leaks - recommend to just keep an eye out for leaks (there are none now).

While sitting for a couple of years didn't do the seals & gaskets any favors, this truck has yet to leak a drop onto my driveway or garage floor in the few months it's been here.  I've driven it a fair amount and haven't had any disappointments.  It hasn't let me down.  It's not a "concours" condition vehicle by any stretch, so please don't expect it to be.  It's 27+ years old and behaves like that (no NAV, manual windows, no Bluetooth). It is being sold "as-is, where-is" with "no warranties expressed nor implied." 

Disclosures;

The AC doesn't blow cold, the rear window won't roll up/down from the toggle switch between the seats, but works just fine with the key inserted into the lock on the rear door (which is required to drop the tailgate).

There are 2 very small "stars" on the windshield that have been epoxy filled and 2 small upholstery repairs on the passenger front seat that have been stitched with color-matching thread (see pics).

Aside from the very few slight door dings & surface scratches along the passenger side (one where a reflective door bumper was removed) there are no other marks on the exterior at all. 

Truck is riding on an open CO title & Bill of Sale, this could save the buyer significantly when registering in your home state - check local DMV laws/regulations. 

I believe in full transparency and full disclosure, so if you have questions - please don't hesitate to text or call 801-580-7917 and ask them in advance of making an offer, please.

Please now low-ball side offers via "ask seller a question" button, I'm offering this truck well below what I'm into it.  If you're not interested in it, that's fine - don't bid & please just move along.

If you are interested, then please take some time to review my 100% positive feedback rating as a seller on cars/trucks from this price ranging up to the six figures+ and then submit your best bid.  Please don't inquire about the reserve, I won't share it - that isn't fair to anyone.  Show your best faith bid, if it works out - then it's a win/win situation for both of us.  If not, it wasn't meant to be for either of us.  Pretty simple really.

This truck is listed locally and elsewhere electronically so I reserve the right to end the listing at any time, so don't miss out!

Toyota announces Geneva plans including droptop FT-86 Open concept

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Automakers from around the globe are gearing up for the Geneva Motor Show next month, and Toyota is giving us a couple teasers of what will be in its display. In addition to what appears to be a single-seat concept called the i-Road (shown at right), Toyota will also give us our first look at a droptop Scion FR-S courtesy of the FT-86 Open Concept.
All we have to go on right now is this sketch shown above, but we do see that this car will retain its rear seats, which could be a potential advantage over one of its key rivals, the Mazda MX-5 Miata. Toyota says that this concept will be used to gauge public interest in such a convertible, but we've already heard that a Scion convertible is already planned to go on sale as soon as early next year. As far as Toyota's other concept, there also isn't much information about the i-Road except that it will be a zero-emissions vehicle and it will have seating for two passengers, which based on the drawing will have the driver sitting in front of the passenger.
Toyota will also show off the European version of the new RAV4 as well as its new Auris Touring Sports, which it refers to as a "medium-size estate." Scroll down for Toyota's tease of a press release.

Watch this video diary of a 900-hp Toyota Supra build

Sat, 08 Jun 2013

If you've ever looked at a car with nearly 1,000 horsepower and wondered why anyone needs that amount of thrust, you may want to take a look at the video below. In it, one gentleman details his descent into Toyota Supra madness, starting with a pristine factory example and stumbling down the rabbit hole of modification. What makes this particular clip interesting is just how honest the owner is as he explains the evolution of his car. He doesn't just prattle off a list of parts like he's reading the menu at an IHOP.
Instead, he painstakingly pulls us through the car's growth, detailing each iteration and what pushed him to the next stage of the build every time. From this point of view, it looks less like someone walked into a shop and lit a massive stack of $100 bills on fire and more like a quasi-logical progression of events. Or at least it does to me. You can check out the build in the video below, complete with plenty of Fast and the Furious references and racing. Win, win, win.

Toyota's 'Easy Speak' Gives Parents A Voice In Backseats

Mon, Jul 21 2014

Parents often wish they could be in two places at once. A feature from Toyota now gives them the next best thing: The ability to yell at their children from a distance. The feature, known as Easy Speak, was introduced in the 2014 Highlander and can now be had in Toyota's Sienna minivan. It allows drivers to use a microphone to communicate with passengers via the car's speakers, all while keeping their eyes on the road. This can come in handy when your brood starts their territorial shoving matches. There's also an optional two way conversation mirror, which allows parents to keep check in on the action without having to turn their head around. These are welcome features. A three-week study from the Monash University Accident Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia showed that children – not telephones – are more likely to distract people while driving. Parents were distracted on 90 of 92 trips studied by the researchers, racking up an average of three minutes of distracted driving per 16 minute trip. Cell phones only made up one percent of that distracted drive time. Related Gallery Coolest minivans of all time Weird Car News Toyota Minivan/Van
