Location:

Lansing, Michigan, United States

Lansing, Michigan, United States


I purchased it almost 1.5 years ago from a Honda dealer in Southgate, MI. It was a one owner, woman owned vehicle. No accidents. It had 104,xxx when I bought it and it now has just over 116,xxx. Everything works, it is mechanically and structurally sound. It does not leak, or burn any fluids. Fly and drive, I am 15 minutes from Lansing Capital Airport. I would rather a local sale as I am more interested in a partial trade for a decent, reliable small car with the difference being made in cash on the buyers end.

Some of the pictures were taken prior to the Monstaliner going on. The odometer reading pictured is also incorrect. The 4runner is sitting at 116,760 miles as of 10/25/2013.

Here is the run down on the good and bad....

The bad:

Rust on the drivers rocker. Some perforation but it is not entirely gone. There is some spatter on the interior door panels from the Monstaliner. Its not bad, but it is there.

The fabric on the door panel on the drivers door is pulling away from the plastic. Ive been meaning to glue it back on, just haven't.

One of the elements in the rear defroster has lost continuity. But the defroster works otherwise.

The Good:

Everything works. Power windows, rear window, all transfer case functions, high low range. All buttons, switches work their appropriate accessories and all the accessories work. All fluids other than the brake and power steering fluid have been change and any accompanying filters. Transmission was fully flushed in my driveway. My intention in building this up was first and foremost to make it a safe daily driver.


New parts I have added/replaced since I took ownership.

- All fluids were changed except the brake and power steering fluid. Synthetics were used were available, which is just about everything. The transmission got a full flush in my driveway, almost 21 quarts.

- Yokohama Geolander AT/s tires, LT 256-75-16 have about 10,000 miles on them. Tread can be seen in one of the photos.

- OME 881/890 lift from Toytec. OME 90004 springs in the front and Monroe Magnum for an FJ80 in the rear. $700

- Toytec rear upper adjustable control arms to bring the pinion back in alignment. $450

- SPC/Light Racing front upper control arms to bring the caster back after lifting. $400

- Sonoran Steel adjustable panhard bar. $250

- New lower ball joints. 555 brand. $120

- New inner and outer tie rods. 555 brand. $175

- Poly steering rack bushings. From Wheelers Offroad. $20

- New Steering Guide. OE. $60. Installed less than 100 miles ago.

- New Denso Radiator $100

- New Aux Tranny cooler. I believe its a 24,000btu unit, but it could be a 19,000. Run in series with the radiator. $60

- New Denso AC compressor, condensor, drier/filter, expansion valve. $550 total in parts.

- New rear driveshaft built locally using 1310 series u-joints. I JUST rebuilt it as well. All 3 joints and the centering ball. $485

- Tundra Brake upgrade on the front with the 231 calipers. $330

- New rear brakes, shoes, drums, springs etc. $225

- Kenwood KIV bt-900 stereo and Cobra 18 WX STII in the dash. I custom mount these to fit into the double din opening. Looks OE.

- Custom built rear drawer system.

- Color matched Monstaliner on the entire body.

- Timing belt service done this past summer. I also replaced the fan bracket. Aisin water pump, OE thermostat, Koyo and NSK pulleys and Mitsobushi belt. I also have the 3 Toyota seals but did not use them since nothing was leaking. New Toyota crank bolt as well. $400

The sway bars and skid plates are currently not installed. If you want to reinstall the sway bars, new links and mounts will need to be purchased. I found that with the stiffer OME suspension, the sway bars are not only not necessary, but make the ride very harsh. I also have the OE rear upper control arms that will go with the runner.

I have most of the receipts. The ones I am missing are from the orders I placed with Rock Auto for the timing kit, the ball joints and inner/outer tire rods. Im sure Im missing a few others as well. But I take my maintenance serious since I trust this vehicle to haul my wife and kids around. No corner has been cut to insure it is a safe, reliable vehicle. I have been running Pennzoil Platinum in it for the past 10,000 miles as well.

PLEASE feel free to ask me any questions or if you want an image of a specific location or part.

Toyota expands airbag recall to 2.27M vehicles worldwide

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

Was your Toyota inspected under the company's recall campaign for faulty airbag inflators last year? You might have another trip ahead to have it repaired again. The automotive giant says that it found "the involved serial numbers provided by the supplier were incomplete, and did not include all of the potentially involved inflators," according to its official announcement. That means more replacements are needed.
Toyota's April 2013 inflator recall covered the Corolla, Matrix and Tundra from the 2003 and 2004 model years, the Sequoia from 2002 to 2004 and the Lexus SC 430 from 2002 to 2004. At the time, the company said it would need to inspect about 510,000 vehicles in the US but only expected to replace around 170,000 inflators.
However, the latest announcement increases that figure to about 766,300 vehicles in the US. Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the new amount is the combination of owners who need to have their vehicle looked at again and those who didn't come in for the initial recall. The company learned about the problem when Takata, the supplier, provided it with an improved list of the faulty part's serial numbers. According to The Detroit News, the latest recall affects about 2.27 million vehicles from them worldwide. Knight said owners would receive notification of the problem around the end of the month but repairs would come in phases because the automaker doesn't have all of the necessary parts at the moment.

Toyota discontinuing FJ Cruiser after 2014 model year

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

The Toyota FJ Cruiser is not long for this world. According to the manufacturer's own fleet website, the rugged FJ will be discontinued after the 2014 model year, with the companies final orders due in June of next year.
Toyota first launched the FJ Cruiser in 2006 as a 2007 model, and aside from minor year-over-year changes, it has not been substantially updated. The FJ is the modern successor to the original FJ40 Land Cruiser that Toyota produced from the 1960s all the way up through 1984, when the automaker decided to better focus on its larger, four-door Land Cruiser line. Currently, it uses a 4.0-liter V6 engine with either rear- or four-wheel drive, and is available with either a five-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. Interestingly, word of the FJ's demise comes not long after Toyota's US boss, Bill Fay, reaffirmed his company's commitment to body-on-frame trucks in late July.
Also of interest, Toyota's fleet website states that the 2014 model year Prius range will have "minor updates," though it's unclear what those are as of this writing. When Autoblog reached out to confirm these developments with Toyota, spokesman Curt McCallister reminded us, "As is our corporate policy, we don't discuss future products beyond the present or upcoming model year."

2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro priced from $41,285*

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Just a few weeks after announcing pricing for the first two members of its TRD Pro Series, Toyota has finally dropped the final pricing details on its new Tundra TRD Pro. Like the Tacoma TRD Pro, the Tundra will be available in two different body styles, with a more affordable Double Cab and a roomier Crew Cab.
Prices start at $41,285 for the former and $43,900 for the latter - not counting a hefty $1,100 destination charge - effectively slotting Toyota's off-road-ready model between the $41,730, Double Cab Limited and $46,465, Crew Cab-only 1794 Edition trucks.
As we've covered previously, the TRD Pro models come with a raft of off-road gear that should help combat just about any terrain a driver may stumble across. TRD-tuned Bilstein shocks and TRD-tuned front springs add two inches to the big truck's ride height while the black, 18-inch TRD wheels and available Inferno Orange paint add a bit of visual sass. A new TRD dual exhaust system is also standard, which can confirm sounds great (review coming soon!).
