Rare, low milage (124,XXX), original everything, 1989 first generation 4 Runner. V6 SR5 EFI. Silver w/Black roof. (Top has never been taken off). Right now there are no other 1989 first generations being offered on Craigslist OR Ebay! There are just a couple first generations of any year, a couple in original form. And when they do come up, they will not be nearly as nice as this one, or have the amount of recent maintenance.

We had it shipped to us knowing of a valve cover leak, which made the undercarriage quite messy looking at first. The seal has been replaced, along with two cam cap seals, where the leak was really coming from. Because we wanted this as our daily driver, we did all of the necessary maintenance the former owner didn’t get to. Water pump replaced, new power steering pump installed, rear brakes done, new front locking hubs installed, shifter grommet replaced, radiator flushed, oil changed and tune up with new plugs, transmission fluid drained and filled, transmission serviced, and new air filter. Tires still have lots of tread on them.

It is original, but not perfect. It is in the type of shape a vehicle made in 1989 should be in: paint has faded a bit on top, a bit on the hood, etc. The dash, like every single one of these, has a couple of cracks, but not nearly as bad as I’ve seen. Other than that, it is in really good shape.

The story … of how it came to us and why we must part with it:

We bought this less than a year ago from the original owner, who kept it south of the bay area in California. It had a out lived its use for him as a family car “to go to the store in.” We bought it for my wife’s dream of “a first generation 4-Runner sailing through the breeze with the top off.” She has a new dream of camping without needing a tent, and we just bought a 2003 Eurovan, much more practical for us and our three year-old (and our new 90lb. dog!).

Happy bidding!

eBay Find of the Day: Harley-Davidson powered Toyota Prius [w/video]

Thu, 03 Apr 2014

Sometimes we pluck cars from the listings of eBay Motors because they're old and interesting, some for being simply lovely, some for rarity and some for pure fun. And sometimes we pick eBay Finds of the Day, because they're hacked apart Toyota Prius' with Harley Davidson V-twin-power; concocted by the same mind that brought you innumerable Jalopnik articles and is partially responsible for the joy that is the 24 Hours of LeMons. This time it's that last one.
A fairly subtle tweet from long-time Jalop contributor and well-regarded grease monkey, Murilee Martin, hipped us to this crazy Frankenstein Prius. Built from the bones of a 2008 Toyota and the heart of a 1986 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883, the motive portmanteau is, well... it's a thing.
Toyota's advanced Hybrid Synergy Drive has been unceremoniously wrenched and snipped out of the engine bay, making room (via an artful hole in the hood) for the towering, bored out V-twin. Or, as the maestro himself puts it:

Toyota confirms i-Road electric trike for production

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

The wacky, three-wheeled Toyota i-Road we saw in Geneva earlier this year will be heading to production. But before you run down to your local Toyota dealer looking for one of these all-electric "personal mobility" vehicles, chances are, you'll never actually see one unless you visit Japan.
Announced at the Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies (CEATEC) expo last week, Toyota said that the i-Road would be used as a part of the Ha:Mo car-sharing system in Japan. Weighing in at around 661 pounds, with a 28-mile-per-hour top speed and a two-passenger seating arrangement, the i-Road seems more like a fully enclosed scooter than a car, but it does offer a 30-mile driving range and has a nifty articulating front suspension that leans into corners. As for Ha:Mo, Toyota says that the number of cars in the program will increase from 10 prior to October 1 to 100 by the middle of this month, and the number of stations will almost double from 13 up to 21. Toyota has more details about the car and Ha:Mo in the press release posted below.

130,000 Toyota Tundra pickups recalled over airbag issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Toyota is announcing a recall for about 130,000 examples of the 2014 Tundra Tundra pickup in Crew-Max Cab and Double Cab configurations.
According to the company, the "garnish on the center pillars" inside the trucks might not have been installed correctly. If the vehicle were in an accident, the side curtain airbags could deploy in the wrong shape. Toyota says that it's not aware of any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this potential problem.
To fix the issue, the pickups will have their interior center pillars inspected, and if faulty, the pieces will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. Scroll down to read the full announcement.
