This is a 1964 Toyota Landcruiser FJ45 LV wagon. This is an unrestored original that is very complete. It has the original inline 6 cylinder motor with the 3 speed column shift transmission. Axles are original with 4:11 gear ratio. The interior is also original. This vehicle was a daily driver until 2007 when the clutch failed. It has been parked since that time.

The clutch master and brake master were recently cleaned out and filled with fresh fluid. The brakes and clutch functioned but the fluid leaked out by the next day. The master cylinders did not have any significant pitting and would likely function with a rebuild kit. (The clutch master and slave operated but it still needs a new clutch and pressure plate.) The carburetor was also cleaned out and filled with fresh gas. The fuel line from the tank was disconnected as the gas has fouled. The engine fired right up and idled smoothe. There was minimal rocker noise and no other unusual sounds. This was a good daily driven motor before it was parked and should continue to run fine with fresh fuel and a minor tune up.

The carburetor is a Rochester single barrel unit from a 50s or 60s GM car. This was a popular conversion back in the day and the stock oil bath air cleaner fits right on it. This rig also has a GM alternator conversion and a remote oil filter set-up that uses the standard PH8A filter that newer Cruisers used.

This Cruiser has the typical rust for this year. The worst is in the rear quarters and the front of the rear wheel wells as shown in the pics. The drivers side front floor board also has rust.

The frame is solid and still has original paint in some areas. The axles are solid as well. There is no significant pitting in the metal like you see on cars from the eastern US or coastal areas. Shock mounts, gas tanks skid plate, drivelines, rear sway bar, and other pieces are present and in restorable condition. Tires are new 31x10.50R15s and are mounted on 1976 FJ40 wheels. These wheels can be used when doing a disc brake conversion.

Besides the rust, this Cruiser also has the following issues. The passenger side hinge for the rear upper hatch has broken away from the upper support. This will require the metal to be welded back in place. There is also evidence of a repair on the drivers side cowl area. It looks like it was hit in the side, just in front of the door. There is bondo up to 1/4 inch thick in this area.

The doors appear to be solid and there is no evidence of rust through. Some of the interior handles are missing and the front door latches are not holding the doors closed. The parts appear to be all there but need adjusting of refurbishing.

The glass is all there and is in good condition. Headliner is deteriorated but the bows are intact.

This is a good candidate for a restoration. There were very few of these imported in the US and according to some websites, less than 100 are known to exist.

The vehicle is available for inspection in Sheridan Wyoming. Please ask any questions before placing a bid.

This cruiser comes with a clear Wyoming title. I have it in my hand.

Toyota sudden acceleration class action may cover 22 million owners

Thu, 16 May 2013

A total of 22.6 million current and former Toyota owners have been sent notices that they may be eligible to receive compensation from the automaker for damages related to the unintended acceleration fiasco that has dominated headlines in 2009 and 2010. The total payout may be as high as $1.63 billion, according to The Detroit News.
Steve Berman, a lawyer for the owners, calls the potential deal "a landmark, if not a record, settlement in automobile defects class action litigation in the United States." Still, there's some debate about whether or not Toyota's proposed settlement is fair, as it includes $30 million for safety research and driver education programs - in other words, Toyota seems to be suggesting that drivers need more education on how to drive their correctly working and fully functional vehicles. For those keeping track, Toyota would also be paying lawyer fees of $200 million.
A US District Judge in California is scheduled to hold a so-called "fairness hearing" on June 14 that could decide the fate of this particular settlement. Further courtroom wrangling will be required to hash out any wrongful death suits levied against Toyota stemming from unintended acceleration claims, as those are not part of this class-action suit.

Toyota and Lexus recall models for inadvertent airbag deployment

Thu, Feb 4 2016

The Basics: Toyota will recall 320,000 examples in the US of the 2003-2006 Land Cruiser, 2004-2006 4Runner, 2005-2006 Tundra and Sequoia, 2003-2006 Lexus LX470, and 2004-2006 GX470. The Problem: The curtain shield airbags that come down from the roof can inadvertently deploy shortly after vehicle startup. This is due to improper programming of the airbag control module. Injuries/Deaths: "Toyota is not aware of any crashes caused by the condition. We have received reports alleging injuries such as abrasions and ringing in ears," company spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog. The Fix: Toyota and Lexus dealers will replace the airbag control module with a new part, which will have improved programming. If You Own One: Toyota and Lexus will notify affected owners by mail early this month. Related Video: Toyota and Lexus Recall Certain Land Cruiser, 4Runner, Tundra, Sequoia, LX, and GX Vehicles February 02, 2016 TORRANCE, Calif., February 2, 2016 – Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. today announced that it is conducting a safety recall of approximately 320,000 Model Year 2003-2006 Land Cruiser; 2004-2006 4Runner; 2005-2006 Tundra and Sequoia; 2003-2006 LX 470; and 2004-2006 GX 470 vehicles. The involved vehicles are equipped with side Curtain-Shield-Airbags (CSAs) which deploy from the roof in the event of certain types of crashes. Due to improper programming in the airbag control modules, there is a possibility that, under certain specific and limited conditions shortly after startup, the CSAs and seat belt pretensioners could activate when not necessary. Unexpected activation of the CSAs could increase the risk of injury to the occupant. All known owners of the involved vehicles will be notified by first class mail. Toyota and Lexus dealers will replace the airbag control module with one which has an improved programming at no cost to owners. Information about automotive recalls, including but not limited to the list of involved vehicles, is subject to change over time. For the most up-to-date Safety Recall information on Lexus, Toyota and Scion customers should check their vehicle's status by visiting http://www.toyota.com/recall and entering the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Safety Recall inquiry by individual VIN is also available at the NHTSA site: safercar.gov/vin.

Toyota still wants Tesla's battery help, still evaluating RAV4 EV program

Wed, May 28 2014

Tesla Motors said earlier this month that the agreement it has with Toyota to supply battery packs for the Toyota RAV4 EV SUV would be finished by the end of the year. The deal is done, but Toyota is now singing its best version of Baby, Please Don't Go. The Japanese automaker may look to extend the battery-pack agreement with California-based Tesla, Automotive News says, citing comments made by Osamu Nagata, who heads Toyota's manufacturing and engineering in North America. Nagata also complimented Tesla for its "clear business strategy." Toyota, which owns 2.5 percent of Tesla, started the RAV4 EV collaboration in 2012, in which Tesla was to make about 2,600 battery packs for the all-electric SUV. That agreement was estimated to be worth about $100 million. "We are also evaluating the RAV4 EV program and will have more to say at a later date" – Toyota "We have a good relationship with Tesla and will evaluate the feasibility of working together on future projects," Toyota said in a statement e-mailed to AutoblogGreen. "We are also evaluating the RAV4 EV program and will have more to say at a later date." And while Toyota hasn't quite met initial sales expectations – it sold about 1,600 of the RAV4 EVs through this spring – the company expects to reach 2,500 by the end of the year. And the partnership did generate about $15 million in revenue for Tesla, according to that company's first-quarter letter to shareholders. That said, Tesla is obviously focusing its battery-making efforts on its own models.
