1986 Toyota 4 runner.  This is a well-built rock crawler.  It works fantastic off road and pretty decent on the pavement also, though it wouldn't be my first choice as a daily driver.  I'm really going to miss it but a growing family has moved me into a new project off-roader with four doors.
 
I've never trailered it, always drove it to and from the trails.  I've driven it to both CO and NM multiple times to wheel without issues.  The body is in pretty decent shape.  There is some paint fading on top of the cab.  It has some small nicks, scratches and dents plus AZ pin striping, but nothing major I would point out.  The interior is in quite good shape.  The 22RE engine and W56 tranny are out of an 88 4runner.  The engine runs well.  The engine has about 187,000 miles on it and the body has about 215,000.  There are no leaks anywhere on the truck that I have seen and I just looked it over again.  I've probably put about 10-15,000 miles on it in the last 5 years.  When it's not out on a trail, it's been kept in the garage.  There is NO RUST anywhere on the body or frame.  Just passed Maricopa county emissions 3/28/14.  I have most of the receipts for all the parts. 
 
Lots of stuff listed below and there is probably more stuff I forgot to mention.  Ask away if you have any questions.

Other good stuff

FJ80 1" master cylinder with a manual proportioning valve kit from Front Range Off-Road to control the rear disk brakes
Hella H4 headlight conversion 

Interior
Front seats out of a mid 90's Acura Integra.  Coverking custom fit neoprene seat covers.  No rear bench seat.  This is where the spare rides

Basic CD player.  Aux-in on the back but no front inputs.  I know the radio works but don't know about the CD player.  It off most of the time cause it's hard to hear much over the tire/road noise at freeway speeds anyway.  Only has two front 4" speakers
Aftermarket custom fit vinyl floor kit
Grant steering wheel

Issues -- Nothing major to report, but this is what I can think of.  Some of them have been around for the past five years I've wheeled it.  Just not important enough for me to look into fixing.
Speedometer reads about 7 MPH fast
Fuel gauge work up until about 3/4 to 1/2 a tank then it drops off fast.  Sending unit probably needs to be changed.  I just use the trip meter
Horn does not work.  Never looked into it
A/C is all there, but does not work.  Never looked into it either.  Never drive the truck in the summer here in PHX

Toyota GT86 turbo, convertible, sedan variants back on the table

Fri, 02 May 2014

Okay Toyota, make up your mind. Figure it out. Quit playing games with our heart. Either build a bunch of variations of the excellent GT86 (also known as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ) or don't. At this point, we're just tired of the back and forth. After no shortage of denials, an Australian website is claiming that Toyota is reconsidering convertible, four-door, turbocharged and all-wheel-drive hybrid variants of the GT86. Kindly pass all the salt.
It's not that we don't want to believe the Aussies; we do. But when the story lists the same "sources in Japan" as a lot of the other denials and confirmations about GT86/BRZ/FR-S variants, well, there's a certain sense of the "Boy That Cried Wolf," here. Ignoring all that, then, what does Motoring.com.au claim to know?
Sources claim the GT86 Convertible will arrive in October 2014, while the turbocharged and hybrid sedans are slated for 2016.

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.

Toyota Prius owners targeted by tire-slashing VA vandal

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Toyota Prius owners aren't bad folks. With a few exceptions, they're just normal people that appreciate the comfortable, high-mileage hybrid. Someone in Arlington, Virginia doesn't see it that way, though, as 14 examples (and one Smart) had at least one tire slashed last Sunday night.
The serial tire-slasher didn't any items from the vehicles, but he or she has left owners with substantial bills and sour dispositions. According to a report from ABC affiliate WJLA, some citizens are considering the matter a hate crime.
Despite the targeting of Toyota hybrids and the acquisition of one fingerprint, police have been unable to make any arrests, as the slasher has targeted vehicles across the county. Take a look at the local news report from WJLA below.
