If you are looking for a TLC that is ready for off road, but a solid daily driver this is your truck. This is a RARE car in that it started out rust free before the restoration. This car has been lovingly restored and has never been owned by a kid nor has it been off road. No diamond plate, no bondo, no rust-see photos of pan. This truck was born in New Mexico where it spent its teenage years and adolescence, after which it was brought to California to bulk up a bit and get a makeover. It has always been garaged here in California.
The motor was installed about three thousand miles ago and is a Man e Fre Hi Performance rebuild with the power pack. All work was done by the professionals at Man e Fre. Check the links below for the info and the review of the performance of the motor. It is a great motor, tremendous torque and cruises at 65-70 at about 2500rpm. The transmission is the Australian 5spd as described in the link below. New Radiator. Suspension was also upgraded with new shocks. I cannot include the links, but go to Man e Fre's website and pull up: hi performance engines, power pack fj60, transmission and transfercase and reviews of the high performance 2f. If you place man-e-fre.com in front of the following links, it should get you there.

I have all OEM parts that were replaced other than the long block and transmission.
The paint was done by a local shop and looks great. White is the original color. There is no rust and only minor dings. The paint was done about a year ago and has sustained no significant damage. The photos are post my wash, not detailed and hasn't been waxed since it was painted. There are a couple of cracks in the dash and the carpet is stained but otherwise OK. No tears in the headliner and both dome lights work. Light which illuminates the speedo has gone out, but other than that the electrical system is intact and working fine. Headlights and turn signals fine, but water jets for wipers don't work. Pump works, but probably some blockage.
Recaros were installed about six months ago, but have the OEM seats available. The center console is steel with a lock and two cupholders.
Wheels are fj40 post '73 single piece, that have been sandblasted and powder coated black with a semi-gloss finish. The caps are OEM from Toyota.
This car was lovingly preserved in the high desert of New Mexico, which is why it is absolutely clean and rust free. Check with Mike at Man a Fre and he will confirm it is one of the cleaner '60s that they have worked on. The work has all been done by professionals and done properly. This is a proper Landcruiser and priced accordingly.

Minivan market not what it used to be, but margins make up for it
Thu, 05 Jun 2014
Residual values for last year's minivans are higher than they were in 2000.
Much like the station wagon was the shuttle of Baby Boomer generation, the minivan has been the primary means of transport for Generations X and Y. Just as the boomers abandoned the Country Squire, though, those kids that were toted around in Grand Caravans and Windstars are adults, and they certainly don't want to be seen in the cars their parents drove.
Legal approach in $1.2 billion Toyota settlement could impact handling of GM recall cases
Wed, 26 Mar 2014In the past, if an automaker did something wrong, they were usually prosecuted by the US government through something called the TREAD Act. Short for Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation Act, it basically requires automakers to report recalls in other countries, along with any and all serious injuries or deaths, to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Failing to report or attempting to conceal anything when there's been a death or serious injury constitutes a criminal liability. The idea is that this setup puts the onus on manufacturers to keep NHTSA apprised of safety related issues before they become a problem in the US, thereby allowing the regulator to better protect consumers.
In theory, it sounds like a relatively airtight set of rules for dealing with misbehaving automakers. That didn't stop the US Department of Justice from ignoring TREAD in its prosecution of Toyota's handling of the unintended acceleration recall, though. The result of this new approach, which charged Toyota with wire fraud, was a $1.2 billion settlement. Now, the wire-fraud approach could be used for the expected case between the US government and General Motors, based on the statements of Attorney General Eric Holder, who specifically mentioned "similarly situated companies" when discussing Toyota.
