Howdy folks!
Unfortunately, I've got to sell my 4runner. I've just got to have a pickup truck for work and don't want to wreck the 4runner treating it like a truck.
Anyway, here's the dealio:
It's a 1KZTE drivetrain out of a 1995 Hilux. 3.0L I4, turbo diesel, 4 spd auto. This thing pumps out some torque. I've gotten 22 mpg with it on the interstate, but it wasn't quite broken in at that point and I was going 75.
4.10 gears, so it turns about 2200 rpm at 65 mph. Elocker out of a TRD Tacoma in the rear. It's amazing how well this thing does off road with the Elocker. :sombrero:
I got the truck with 36,000 KM's on the ODO. The importer apparently used ether to start the truck, which resulted in a cracked piston about 200 miles after I got it in my 4runner. At the time, I didn't think I would ever have to part with it, so I rebuilt the engine with all genuine Toyota parts ($1200). New pistons, new rings, etc. I've put about 10,000 KM's on it since without an issue. It runs like a top. 3" exhaust as well.
Other additions: new shocks, custom front and rear bumpers, brand new 235 85 16 tires on Tundra wheels, new wheel bearings, rotors, very nice double din radio/cd unit w/ IPOD connection. Aisin hubs, OME rear coils to raise the rear, OME rear shocks, pry more that I'm forgetting.
Everything works. Power windows, locks, AC, cruise, power antenna, rear window, etc. The only problem is that the paint is faded (typical Toyota) and there is a dent on the drivers side and pass side door.
The interior is spotless, clean grey seats, no cracks in dash (covered) and the carpet is clean as well.
Elocker and idle up switch added in the dash like factory.
Price is $13000, OBO. Located in Temecula, Ca. It's 100% legal for CA, you don't have to ever go to a smog station again with this truck.
