OVERVIEW: You are bidding on an incredible 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser...I’m selling this for a friend who has one too many projects on his plate, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask I’m happy to pass them along. Here's his description:

I've owned this for less than a year, paid over the starting bid here and drove it literally less than a couple hundred miles. I bought this as an almost complete project rig but between the new house and the three kids I haven't made any progress on it and it's more painful to watch her sitting in the driveway than to imagine her happy on a trail somewhere with another owner. It's in great driving condition as is, ready for the trail or the highway!!! I've owned other vintage vehicles in the past but this has been by far and away my favorite, and I hate to see her go. I had never owned a Land Cruiser prior to this that could go over 75 mph comfortably on the highway but could also crawl so technically on the most difficult of trails. It has some rust on the rear of the body but as you can tell by the pictures but the driver and passenger floors are solid. She turns heads everywhere she goes - and catches the eye's of both the serious off roader and the collector alike. 

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION: Newly rebuilt Small Block Chevy 350 with only 2000 MILES ON IT!!!! Edelbrock Performer Intake Manifold. Edelbrock 650 CFM 4 barrel carb. New MSD cap/rotor/wires. HEI distributor. Headers (old school - outside frame rail). K&N Air Filter. SM420 Transmission WITH Stock Vacuum Actuated Transfer Case. Transmission is incredibly strong, geared perfectly for crawling and still allows me to pass anyone I like on the highway. 

STEERING & SUSPENSION: Power Steering - Saginaw steering box, GM Reservoir with new AGR Power Steering Pump, Welded Tabs/Bolts for Hydraulic Assist on Front Axle. 78' Axles Front/Rear (Front discs). New Rear Axle and Double Cardan rebuild. New Clutch Slave Cylinder. New Rear Drum Brake Pads. Spring over axle (SOA) conversion with the OEM Toyota springs and Rancho 9000's shocks all the way around! 

ELECTRICAL: New Auto Tech oil pressure and temperature gauges. OEM fuel and voltage/battery gauges work great. New headlights. The electrical system is solid but included is a new in box painless chassis wiring harness!!!!

TIRES & SAFETY:  Less than 500 miles on four 37 x 12.50 R 15 Interco IROKS RADIAL tires mounted on 12 x 15 WELD Roadhawks. Included is a newly installed METAL TECH FULL CAGE/CRADLE. Sitting in this rig feels like you're in an impenetrable fortress, I've never seen another cage as solid as this...simply incredible!!!

EXTRAS INCLUDED WITH THE AUCTION:
Original bench seats front/rear (completely redone!) were removed for the cage install but are included in the listing
2 Newer/Used Super Swamper SSRs for spares with one 8 x 15 aluminum spare wheel
New in box Painless chassis wiring harness
Bikini top
Door weatherstripping
Side view mirrors
Seat belts
OEM Toyota Lock with key
Newly installed window seals

THE BAD: 
Needs smaller pulley for accelerated EGR pump (more volume)
Needs bigger pulley to fully utilize power steering system
Needs shackle bushings
Needs possible master brake cylinder rebuild (starting to need a double-pump)
Parking brake will not engage (the handle is in tact in the cab but it either needs to be tightened or the linkage needs to be corrected)
Spring over axle conversion needs a little attention (mentioned to me by the previous owner but I haven't noticed any issues, additional shackles are included)
Rusted out lower rear corner panels BUT included are brand new polished diamond plate corner panels!
Rusted out tub below the tail gate (covered with black tape currently)
Rust on rear seal
No door keys
Speedometer is not connected
Windshield wipers aren't currently installed but motor and wiper blades are included with the auction 
Gas filler tube is in need of redirecting, since the addition of the METAL TECH CAGE
One wheel stud broken on each of the rear wheels

(please keep in mind that the truck is +40 years old and their may be other odds and ends that need adjustment...if you want to see something in more detail please ask for additional pictures, I want to make sure you know exactly what you're buying)

SHIPPING: I drove the truck this weekend and you can drive it anywhere in town without any issues (assuming it's not raining hard - no wipers remember, see above) BUT this should not be driven cross-country without the brake system being looked at, the wipers installed, and the gas filler hose being redirected and therefore I require that the winning bidder have the vehicle shipped if it's immediately going out of state. Please don't email me after the auction ends expecting to drive it across country tomorrow...the motor is strong as an ox but those other things need to be looked at before it gets driven hard. Vehicle must be picked up within ten days of the end of the auction. Shipping must be arranged by the buyer at a pickup location of my choice (a.k.a. near my house and not 90 miles away). If you are arranging shipping make sure the carrier will allow the spare tires, bench seats, and spare parts to be stored inside the truck (some carriers do not) otherwise you will be responsible for the crate charge and freight to get the additional items to you. 

PAYMENT: Please email me with questions BEFORE you start bidding. The winning bidder must pay a $500 deposit within 24 hours of the close of the auction and pay the balance when you pickup the vehicle with cash or a cashiers check. I am listing the truck locally as well and reserve the right to end the auction early at any time regardless of wether there are currently bids or not. Bid with confidence, I have had a 100% positive feedback rating for the last decade since I started using eBay!!!!

US-built Corollas will soon be exported to Latin America, Caribbean

Sun, 29 Sep 2013

Toyota has announced plans to export the American-made Corolla south, to 18 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean by 2014. The move follows statements made to The Wall Street Journal by Toyota's South American leader, Steve St. Angelo, that spoke to Toyota's resolve in emerging American markets.
Toyota is expected to begin export production in April, with initial production of 7,500 Corollas in the first year, courtesy of its Tupelo, Mississippi assembly plant. Years of unpredictable swings in the value of the Japanese yen has seen Toyota push its manufacturing operations in other countries, particularly the US, where its builds ten different models.

Russians create Toyota Land Cruiser ice sculpture with full interior

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The Toyota Land Cruiser is a pretty hot model around the world. But it took the Russians to make it cool. We have few hard, cold facts and only small slivers of information about these photos, but it seems the icy Toyota was part of the International Snow & Ice Festival in Perm, Russia.
Artists took a huge chunk of ice and shaved it down to the temporary art installation you see here. The sub-zero SUV comes complete with a full interior accessed by the (permanently frozen open) driver's side door. The steering wheel and seats look to be upholstered in, well, dirt. With the back seats removed, the frigid four-door is a pretty slick ride in which to chill out.
Just a thought, but wouldn't a Toyota Tundra have been more appropriate? See the gallery for more photos.
