1982 Toyota Land Cruiser Base Sport Utility 4-door 4.2l - Meet "hank: The Tank" on 2040-cars
Maitland, Florida, United States
|
1982 Toyota Landcruiser FJ60 Up for auction is "Hank the Tank". Let me tell you a bit about Hank. I have owned this vehicle for about 4 years and currently drive it 3-4 days a week. In the years that I have owned this vehicle, it has started EVERY time without fail. Here's what you need to know:
THE GOOD - Runs Strong - Engine Strong, clutch good, brakes good - Does NOT burn oil! - Interior in good condition - Newer tires, tons of tread - Comes with step bars and safari roof rack - Carb rebuilt 2 years ago - Fluids recently changed and tune up - Oil changed regularly - Radio works - 4-speed, manual transmission - 4WD works great, however never use it. - I also have new emblems for the the driver side rear, "Toyota Landcruiser" and the tailgate "4WD" emblem. - NO CRACKS on the dashboard!
THE BAD - Small leak in the power steering (does not bother me, I simply refill every so often) - Small exhaust manifold leak, so it rumbles a little (personally adds a bit of character!) - Interior fan stopped working a few months ago. I believe its a blower motor relay (or blower motor). A/C was working great before fan went out. - Typical tear in drivers seat (see photo) - Carpet on tailgate has come loose.
THE UGLY - There is some rust on the vehicle. Typical areas for a Landcruiser. I've identified key problem areas highlighted in green in the photo's. The frame is solid. (See photos)

Toyota may return to F1 under Lexus banner
Wed, 03 Apr 2013A new report in from the website Club Lexus claims to have insider knowledge about a return to Formula One racing by Toyota, this time under the auspices of the Lexus brand. Toyota competed in F1 from 2002 through the 2009 season. That final year saw the team return competitive, if inconsistent results, but the larger economic woes in the automotive market made a decision to pull the plug relatively easy at the time.
Now, citing recent interviews with Toyota executives and insider sources, Club Lexus says that the move to re-enter F1 for the 2014 season is "all but finalized." The choice to go with the Lexus nameplate over Toyota makes some sense, too, considering the success that rival Infiniti has had in recent years through its partnership with Red Bull Racing. Further, the emerging Lexus identity as a performance car builder, with a strong background in hybrid vehicles, could help the F1 move resonate with buyers.
A few technological factors and formula changes within F1 offer some credence to the Lexus rumor, too. F1 will increase the available capacity of KERS from 60kW to 120kW, a change that theoretically benefits the hybrid-savvy Toyota. What's more, 2014 will see a switch from the current 2.4-liter V8 engines to 1.6-liter turbocharged V6s. A Lexus team that goes racing in 2014 will be on a level playing field with the rest of the grid then, with all teams adjusting to and continuing to develop the new engines.
White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
Toyota's Lentz says fuel cells are the future, not EVs
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota is not bullish on EVs. That comes from the company's North American CEO, Jim Lentz, who said the company will focus not on electrification, but on continued hybridization with a long-term focus on hydrogen fuel cells.
Lentz questioned the long-range ability of EVs, saying that Toyota feels "there are better alternatives, such as hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and tomorrow with fuel cells." Lentz spoke about Toyota's focus on hydrogen following Forbes Brainstorm Green conference and barely a week after a battery deal between Tesla and Toyota ended, according to Automotive News.
That deal provided for 2,500 battery packs for the Rav4 EV. While valuable to Toyota, the deal "was never about open-ended volume," Lentz said. "It was time to either continue or stop. My personal feeling was that I would rather invest my dollars in fuel cell development than in another 2,500 EVs."
