1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 - Inline 6 Nice - NO RESERVE!

I have up for sale my daily driver and weekend warrior - 1971 Toyota LandCruiser FJ55 featuring the original Inline 6 engine fully rebuilt less than 4 years ago and runs like a top. Only 35K miles since the rebuild and starts/runs great! 3 speed on the tree shifts great through all gears including reverse. 4 inch lift kit paired with Pro Comp 33 x 12.5 x 15LT X Terrain off road tires and a new two tone paint job gives this Cruiser a stunning look! Great work or play truck with reliability and confidence. This by far is the most attention getting vehicle I've ever owned and it brings smiles to people who watch it drive around town.

All body panels are very nice now and frame is solid! Some surface rust here and there but all the prep work was completed before the painting process. Both front and rear bumpers are in great shape. There is a place to mount a winch to the front bumper but I never could get my hands on a Warn winch or desired choice. Headlights are LED (nice), brake lights, gas/temp/pressure gauges work as they should and the same goes for the aftermarket tach. Wipers work great, variable speed. Sometimes the turn signal blinkers are intermittent. Rear window motor works great and all glass is original and in great shape. The seats might need some stitching around the edges due to normal wear. The roof is in good condition and no leaks.

Some recent maintenance work completed:

Jan/Feb. 2014-new spark plugs, plug wires, air filter, starter (with warranty), front and rear performance shocks, driver side rear wheel cylinders, steering bar tie rod ends, brake lines/hoses, brake shoes, fuel filters, and fuel lines. I noticed a very small leak coming from the passenger side wheel cylinder just the other day but its isolated. All receipts to follow with the new owner. This Land Cruiser FJ55 is not perfect but certainly a lot of care and love has made this SUV a joy to own. This FJ55 is registered and I have a clean NC title in hand for easy transfer of ownership.

Please: NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDING! US FUNDS ONLY ACCEPTED. This 71 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 is sold as is, where is in Sunny Wilmington, NC. No warranty expressed or implied. Please asking questions before bidding and feel free to set up a time to view if you are able to. I have the right to end auction early if pre-qualified buyer is located. Thanks for your interest and happy bidding!

Toyota RAV4 "Adventure" brings the butch

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

Just last week, your humble author had a 2013 Toyota RAV4 in his garage, and he couldn't help noting that even in mid-level XLE trim, its aesthetics lacked oomph, due in large part to its cheap-looking black bumpers and airy-looking wheel wells. Judging by the RAV4 "Adventure" on display at the Geneva Motor Show, someone at Toyota must've been thinking the same thing.
With Japan's biggest automaker understandably focused on bigger reveals, information on this butched-up softroader has proven to be hard to come by, with no press materials whatsoever. We don't even know if this is a pure concept or if it's actually being considered for production. Either way, we approve. The 20-inch dark-finish alloys probably don't do much for ride quality, but they certainly look nicely aggressive, as does the new lower fascia with its prominent lower lip. Other changes include beefier wheel arches, side rails, headlamps with integrated LEDs, twin-element fog lamps and mesh grille inserts. All of the changes are quite well integrated - enough so that the Adventure largely avoids looking like a SEMA refugee in person.

Toyota raises Japanese base wages for first time since 2008

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

Toyota is on track for record profits, and in return, its Japanese workers are receiving their first increase in base wages since 2008, plus higher pay based on seniority and a larger bonus for 2014. The Japanese automaker predicts the average laborer will net a 2.9 percent income gain.
The average Toyota employee will earn 2,700 yen ($26.28) more each month, a 0.8 percent increase from last year. Workers will also receive about 7,300 yen ($71.09) more monthly based on seniority and promotions. Finally, the company's union pushed through a median bonus of 2.44 million yen ($23,768) for 2014, the highest in 6 years.
The pay boost comes as Toyota forecasts a record 1.9-trillion yen ($18.5 billion) profit for the fiscal year ending on March 31, according to Bloomberg. It has been helped by the Japanese government's efforts to weaken the yen on international markets and expand inflation. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been asking businesses to increase compensation to end years of deflation and offset upcoming higher sales taxes. Honda and Nissan have also raised their wages there in recent months.

China sticking to its guns on EVs for the future

Mon, Apr 27 2015

Automakers are obviously free to develop whatever next-gen, zero-emissions tech that they want. However, if a company wants to get on the good side of the Chinese government, that strategy better include some plug-in vehicles. The authorities there are lending major support to plug-ins at the moment, and its forcing the auto industry to play along. According to Bloomberg, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, and BMW are all launching dedicated EV brands with their joint venture partners, and as many as 40 electric models could hit the Chinese market this year alone. However, analysts don't think the vehicles are going to sell well. Instead, the launches are essentially a way for companies to play nice with the government and help get the approval to build factories in the country. Take Toyota as an example. The company is pushing the future of hydrogen hard with promotional films for the Mirai and engineers talking down fast-charging EVs. Still, the Japanese automaker is getting ready to launch two EV brands in China with its joint venture partners, according to Bloomberg. China's push for alternative fuels has been happening for a while, but it really kicked into high gear last year. The government has set a goal to improve fleet-wide economy by 40 percent by the end of the decade in order to spend less importing oil and for the population's health. The plan has shown some success so far with hybrid and EV sales growing early in 2015.
