Three Lakes, Wisconsin, United States

1983 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60. Great, dependable driver. Recently redone interior. Lift kit with new 35" Toyo Mud Terrain tires, snorkel (not hooked up), paint is presentable but shows wear. Some scratches and small rust areas, but overall very clean. Originally titled in South Carolina. Frame is completely rust free outside of minimal surface rust. Body is bondo free to the best of my knowledge and has very minimal surface rust. Original inline 6 with an exempt odometer. Original owner stated he had the engine rebuilt  about 15,000 miles prior to my purchase, but no documentation. Engine starts and runs well. Brakes need checking - not sure if it's from the large tires or if they need work. They do stop the vehicle but should/could work better. AC does not work. Everything else is operable to the best of my knowledge. Nice, clean FJ60 with lots of extras offered at no reserve. For sale locally, seller reserves the right to end auction early.

Common questions I'm getting:


As the description and photos show, this FJ60 has very little frame rust. What I would classify as minimal surface rust on some areas of the frame. Zero rust-through on the frame. It's very clean, shown in photos. The body is very clean as well with minimal areas of rust coming through the paint under the door(s). This is one of the cleanest FJ60s I've ever owned. It is garage kept and was only driven in summer months by me. I have only owned it about 18 months.

The brakes will stop the vehicle but do not work at 100%. I'd estimate them to be working at about a 25% level.

This Cruiser will travel no problem at highway speeds up to 70 MPH. It could be driven home by the buyer, but again, the brakes are not 100% and are probably not the safest option at highway speeds.

The tires (Toyo MTs) likely have less than 500 miles on them and are worth about $1,200 by themselves.

I am selling it because I have a collection of vintage 4x4s which means too many to maintain and store, so this one didn't survive the cut.

I forgot to note in the description - the filler neck on the gas tank will leak if over-filled. It has to be COMPLETELY filled to leak.

If the bids exceed $6,000 I'll pay to have the brakes looked at/repaired prior to shipping or pick-up.

Hi-po Toyota GT86 to get KERS?

Fri, 09 Nov 2012

We happen to like the Toyota GT86 - and, it of course goes without saying that the same applies to the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S, as well - just the way it is. Yes, that includes the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer engine and its 200 horsepower at 7,000 rpm.
That said, a little extra power never hurt anybody, right?
The most obvious way to add some punch to the GT86 would be with a turbocharger, and that has indeed long been rumored for an STI version of the BRZ. Will Toyota follow suit? According to Top Gear, the answer is no. Says GT86 chief engineer Tetsuya Tada, "I think 300bhp with a turbo and 200g/km of CO2 would be tasteless in this day and age. And a turbo would mean the loss of the GT86's uniqueness." Perhaps a bit harsh, but there you go.

Toyota renews Supra trademark, we renew frothing at the mouth

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

Enthusiasts have been begging for a new Supra practically since Toyota stopped selling its fourth generation in the US way back in 1998. We've been hearing rumors about a successor for years, but the Toyota FT-1 Concept from the 2014 Detroit Auto Show is the first tangible sign from the automaker that a new generation may be on the table. To temp us even more, the Japanese company reportedly filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office last week to renew its 2010 trademark for the name "Supra."
Granted, these kinds of trademark updates aren't uncommon, as automakers don't want to lose their rights to nameplates (even if they have no immediate plans to use them). However, Toyota briefly abandoned its rights to the Supra name entirely. According to The Motor Report, the original trademark was continually renewed until 2006, but the Japanese automaker let it lapse in the US until applying for it again in 2010.
The FT-1 Concept in Detroit was created at Toyota's Calty Design Research center in California and carries cues from the 2000GT, Celica and Supra in an ultra-curvy body. Officials did not disclose anything about its powertrain. Toyota is also co-developing a future sports car platform with BMW that will underpin models from both companies, but few other details are konwn, and it isn't yet clear that the joint venture has anything to do with a future Supra. Hope springs eternal.

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.
