2010 4Runner tough enough?

At the end of every road test, auto writers tend to get a little melancholy when the vehicle goes back to the manufacturer.

Forget electric cars – the near future belongs to small petrol and diesel engines.

Open Question: I have fuel problems on my toyota hilux 2.5d4d pickup 52 plate.?

The truck will start no problem with the first touch of the key, then when you rev the engine it will throw out black smoke, then when you let the revs below 2000rpm the engine light comes on and then it will not rev again and the engine eventually cuts out. I have been running the truck on veg oil with a professional conversion kit but I have by passed the system and put the fuel pipes back to original and attempted to run it on pure diesel but still the problem is there. I have had the truck in the garage who replaced an injector but they have not solved the problem

Open Question: Toyota Celica new rims?

I have a 2000 Celica that I got just less than I year ago and I want to put new rims on it now. I was wondering if there were specific brands to look for, or there are some that I should stay away from.
I do not need the top of the line because I do not feel like spending crazy amounts, but definitely middle of the pack or higher.

Thanks

Open Question: Wheel Tire Fitment 4runner to Landcruiser?

Needed to know if anyone can help me answer this question. I have a set of rim/tire 235/75/15 from a 1990 toyota 4runner and would like to know if it can fit onto a 1992 landcruiser. The tire on the landcruiser is 235/70/16 but I do not know the size of the wheel but I am certain its a stock rim.
I am sorry. Let me make it clearer. I would like to put the 15 onto the landcruiser which came off a 1990 4runner. The 16s are the current tire size; I don’t know the wheel’s size, but it looks like stock toyota rims. Would the stock wheel fit onto the landcrusier from the 4runner? Thanks!
