1984 - Toyota Land Cruiser on 2040-cars
Wheeler, Mississippi, United States
1984 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 but I need a new vehicle that will accommodate my kids better. I bought this cruiser from a seller who resurrected the vehicle from an approximately 10 year barn storage. Thus, the extremely low mileage of 90,848. This is the third FJ60 that I've had and it's the best so far. Here is a list of the work that the previous owner reported (all work reportedly done by a professional mechanic but unfortunately, I do not have the records): Removal and cleaning of fuel tank Rebuilt carb New belts New spark plugs New rancho shocks New brakes New windshield New muffler and tailpipe New oil pan gasket Transmission was removed to replace rear main seal and front input seal Here is a list of the work completed since I have owned it (all work done by professionals and I have all documentation/receipts): New tires (31" toyo) New stereo (Sony CD with Bluetooth and usb connector) New front speakers Tinted windows Transfer case seal replaced New fan clutch New radiator New thermostat Tow package Custom floor mats AC recharged New fuel filter Repaired exhaust leak Exterior is all original and in great condition for it's age and shines up nicely. There are some minor fading spots in the paint on the hood and roof (see photos). There is some minor surface rust on the undercarriage (see photos). Interior is also all original except for the upgraded stereo. All interior and exterior lights work. All doors and windows function as new. All weatherstripping good. All original tools and jack equipment in place. All parts under the hood are original except those that have recently been repaired/replaced. AC blows cold and heater blows hot. There is a small tear in the driver side seat (see photos) and a small crack in the dash. Original rims. Tilt wheel. Rear wiper, Rear defrost. Headlight washers. Working factory choke. No major dents or dings. Smoke free environment. Always garaged. Includes full car cover. 31" spare tire. This cruiser drives great. It has it's original straight 6 cylinder motor. Steering and alignment are perfect. 4 speed transmission and shifts into gears smoothly. Engine is running strong. Hi/low 4wd work. Recently tuned up and idles great. Passed California smog. This cruiser is near perfect for its age. It is rare to have an opportunity to purchase a land cruiser in this good of condition with this low mileage. You do not want to miss the chance to be the owner of this vehicle. If you know land cruisers, you know that this one will drive forever. Keep this cruiser on the road where she belongs.

Toyota JPN Taxi Concept is a Japanese riff on an English classic
Wed, 20 Nov 2013As far as beasts of burden go, New York City's new - and much maligned - Nissan NV200 "Taxi of Tomorrow" isn't a bad one. It's space efficient, reasonably economical, and its simple construction should mean it's pretty robust over the long haul, too. But it lacks panache and a sense of occasion - let alone a sense of humor - three things this this Toyota JPN Taxi Concept we found at the Tokyo Motor Show has in spades.
Unfortunately, that's about all the information we have on this cheeky London-taxi-inspired showcar. Toyota hasn't provided much in the way of details, other than to proclaim that the five-seat JPN was "created with Japanese hospitality in mind" and it "aims to enliven city streets." Japan's livery landscape has long been occupied by traditional three-box sedans - models like the Toyota Crown and Nissan Cedric. The JPN Taxi at just over 171 inches would appear to offer both a tighter footprint and added whimsy, both of which are in the automaker's favor; we hear it hopes this concept will one day become the country's own version of America's yellow Crown Vic cab.
Toyota isn't providing powertrain specifications, but we like the airy feeling of the interior (Japanese cabs typically don't have cumbersome partitions between cabbie and passengers), the minimalist driver area with three screens, and the widescreen overhead video system for passengers that bookends the panoramic moonroof. Check it out in our gallery of live shots and let us know what you think in Comments.
Toyota recalling 800k Camry, Avalon and Venza models for AC issue
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Toyota has announced plans to voluntarily recall 803,000 vehicles from model years 2012 and 2013, over concerns with the air conditioning condenser housing. The recall covers the Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid and Venza, although the exact split between affected models wasn't available.
According to Toyota, the condenser can leak onto an airbag control module, which in turn could cause a short circuit. In most cases, this will just lead to an airbag warning light, but in rarer instances, the airbags could fail to deploy or pop out of their own accord. There's also a concern over a loss of power steering if the airbag control module develops a short.
It's unclear if there have been any injuries or crashes relating to the defects. Toyota will begin informing owners of affected vehicles via first class mail, and will ask them to report to dealerships for recall work, involving the installation of a cover on the condenser housing.
