 You are bidding on one of the finest, cleanest 1st generation 4runners around. I am the third owner and have had this vehicle for 7 years. It was an Arizona car for the 1st and 2nd owner and now resides in Idaho. It has never seen snow or salt, hence the original paint and body condition. There is NO body rust on this vehicle. The previous owner has installed a 3" Rancho Suspension Lift kit with matching shocks which works well with the 31x10.5BFGoodrich t/a radials. The tires look new. The sound system in the vehicle absolutely rocks! Don't know the exact details. But it has a Alpine head unit CD player with a Pioneer 800 watt amplifier in cargo area and a large JBL three speaker subwoofer in the cargo area. It also has custom door mounted speakers.  It does have an I Pod hook up to the head unit. Head liner is in good shape. Seats are all in good shape with the drivers side showing wear from getting in and out. There are no tears or rips in seats. The door panels have the normal wear on top where your arm rests with window open. There are two small holes in the door release plastic. Dashboard is perfect as well as all instruments and displays. Carpet is Very clean.  The AC does NOT blow cold but I suspect all it needs is to be recharged. We do not need AC here so never bothered to check into it. It did work very well when I bought the car in Phoenix and drove it home 7 years ago. The battery was installed last month. The mileage is original I bought the vehicle with 126k and have only put 8k since.

It is fitted with a receiver hitch with a four way flat plug. I have pulled my 17ft drift boat with out any problem. I have put new Warn manual locking hubs on in the last thousand miles. I have replaced the timing belt, serpentine belt, water pump, and the idler pulley. If there was anything mechanically that needed attention, it was taken care of.

There are round Nerf bar running boards. They do have some road rash and surface rust from the gravel roads around here unfortunately. It also has a tubular grill guard with fog lights that are functional. Every thing on the vehicle works with exception of the AC.

I have tried to show all the imperfections in the pictures. The body is in great shape but does show some wear commensurate of a 25 year old vehicle with original paint.  Starting at the tail gate, there is a quarter sized area that has been touched up with paint that does not match and the tail lite lens is scratched next to the touch up. There is a Rhino coat application to the lip of the tailgate. The clear coat was pealing and I elected to use the Rhino coat instead of repainting the whole tail gate. It looks good with other black trim on the back of the vehicle. The rear window has some wear marks from sliding up and down. The decals down the sides of the truck are faded and almost not visible. there are a couple dings on each side but no major dents.There is a scratch on the rear passenger quarter panel that was touched up with paint that did not match well.  The hood has some road rash on the nose and the decals are also faded to being only slightly visible.  The roof is in good shape but does have three dimples on the radius from the windshield to the roof.  There is a small crease down passenger side of hood, can only see it in right light. Typical of the 4runners of this era the window seals around rear sliders don't stay seated in corner but do not leak. The antenna is power but the mast is damaged and does not go up or down. It gets reception fine so I have never fixed it. The steering wheel is sun faded from the early years in AZ. The rims are Toyota OEM SR5 mags. They do have some discoloration. The muffler does have a whole in it but not worth fixing IMO. I believe that sums up the body. I tried to be as specific as possible.

Reason for selling is I don't drive it much and I hate to see it sitting around and I have too many vehicles.

This would be a great 1st vehicle for a teenager or a great platform to restore to show room new for the avid 4runner guru. Would be a great daily driver also.  I would not hesitate to drive this vehicle anywhere.

I have been watching Ebay for years and not seen many that would compare. I will be happy to answer any questions about the vehicle. It is located in Victor, ID. Buyer is responsible for shipping and or pick up. If you choose to fly in, I would be willing to pick up at Jackson hole airport or Idaho Falls airport. PLEASE  make sure you have funds available before bidding.

Lexus eschews production in China over quality concerns

Sat, 03 May 2014

One of the more popular trends in the auto industry is setting up production operations in China. Mainstream manufacturers like Ford, General Motors and Volkswagen have done it, and even luxury marques like Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have or will soon have manufacturing ops in the People's Republic.
One company that isn't building cars in China, though, is Lexus. The Toyota-owned luxury brand still manufactures all of its vehicles in Japan (aside from a few RXs, which are built at a Toyota factory in Canada). According to Tokuo Fukuichi, Lexus just isn't ready to build cars there yet.
"The German Three have a brand image that they have cultivated over the past century in their long history, but Lexus is not in people's minds like that yet," Fukuichi-san told Reuters UK.

Toyota may return to F1 under Lexus banner

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

A new report in from the website Club Lexus claims to have insider knowledge about a return to Formula One racing by Toyota, this time under the auspices of the Lexus brand. Toyota competed in F1 from 2002 through the 2009 season. That final year saw the team return competitive, if inconsistent results, but the larger economic woes in the automotive market made a decision to pull the plug relatively easy at the time.
Now, citing recent interviews with Toyota executives and insider sources, Club Lexus says that the move to re-enter F1 for the 2014 season is "all but finalized." The choice to go with the Lexus nameplate over Toyota makes some sense, too, considering the success that rival Infiniti has had in recent years through its partnership with Red Bull Racing. Further, the emerging Lexus identity as a performance car builder, with a strong background in hybrid vehicles, could help the F1 move resonate with buyers.
A few technological factors and formula changes within F1 offer some credence to the Lexus rumor, too. F1 will increase the available capacity of KERS from 60kW to 120kW, a change that theoretically benefits the hybrid-savvy Toyota. What's more, 2014 will see a switch from the current 2.4-liter V8 engines to 1.6-liter turbocharged V6s. A Lexus team that goes racing in 2014 will be on a level playing field with the rest of the grid then, with all teams adjusting to and continuing to develop the new engines.
