The Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series I am a dealer of classic and collectible cars as well as a life-long 4x4 enthusiast. After meeting a Japanese vehicle exporter through a mutual friend, I became an importer of rare and unique 4x4's. I specialize in Toyota Land Cruisers and other Toyota 4x4's. I imported this rust-free, low-mileage BJ74 in December of last year. It is 100% legal to own and drive in all 50 states. Outside of the US, the Land Cruiser 70 series is a legendary vehicle platform well-known for offroad capability and unmatched reliability and durability. Now that these vehicles are past the 25-year-old limit, we can enjoy them here in the states. eBay requires a 17-digit VIN in the listing, the actual VIN for this BJ74 is BJ740000955. It was produced for the Japanese Domestic Market and does not have a 17-digit VIN. The original VIN plate reading BJ740000955 is still fixed in the factory location on the engine firewall. The Missouri title and customs documentation all match this VIN.

Rust-Free, Original Condition This BJ74 is a rust-free and well-maintained vehicle. The photos show the condition and tell the story. The body has a few small paint chips as might be expected from a 28-year old vehicle. Also, the paint is slightly faded on the upper fenders. The hood was repainted at some point, likely it was faded as well. The complete vehicle is in excellent condition. There is zero rust on the entire body. The interior is very clean, and the undercarriage is also very clean and unmolested. The mechanical condition is excellent as well. Everything on this BJ74 works. The gauges in the clinometer pod all function. The radio is an aftermarket 12 volt AM/FM/Cassette (Japanese band) powered by a 24v-12v converter mounted on the driver kick panel. This converter can also be used to power 12 volt accessories like a CB radio or other add-ons. The A/C system wasn't functioning, and I had it converted to R134a at a professional automotive Heat/AC service shop. The winch works properly, and comes with the original plug-in controller. Even the original toolkit and jack are included. This BJ74 arrived with aftermarket lift shackles that add about 2" to the suspension height of the vehicle. This BJ74 is loaded with options including:
The 13B-T turbo-diesel engine works flawlessly, and you can expect to get 20-25 MPG during normal driving. The automatic transmission passed all service inspections, and shifts smoothly. The differentials and transfer case had clean fluid, free of any indication of problems. See the full list of everything inspected and serviced in the section below. This BJ74 is a great vehicle for driving around town or on the highway. The adjustable suspension seats make the ride very comfortable. This BJ74 has only 96,582 original miles! That's 155,497 KMs.

Here's a list of what I've done to this BJ74 since it was imported in December of 2013:
This represents the basic service I do to all vehicles I import.
Owning a Right-Hand-Drive Import First, this is a 100% legal and documented import vehicle. I have copies of all the customs, EPA, DOT and import paperwork that go with the vehicle to the new owner. This BJ74 has been titled in Missouri, and can be legally titled and driven in all 50 states. Replacement parts and accessories are generally available to ensure a long life of service. Driving a right-hand-drive vehicle is not nearly as difficult as it might first appear. After a few minutes, any driver can become comfortable with driving "on the wrong side." The uniqueness of this setup starts conversations and turns heads everywhere you go.

Scion iA and iM rolled into Yaris and Corolla lineups for 2017
Thu, Mar 17 2016The Scion brand may be going away, but most of its cars (sorry, tC) are living on. We'll see the 2017 Toyota 86 (nee Scion FR-S) at the New York Auto Show next week, and the automaker already confirmed that the Scion iA and iM will be rebadged as Toyotas. But instead of standing on their own, the former Scions will be rolled into existing model lines. "Yaris iA" and "Corolla iM" will be the official names of the cars, effective for 2017. It's a smart move, paring the relatively new Scion nameplates with well-known, existing Toyota monikers. Scion spokeswoman Nancy Hubbell tells Autoblog that the iA already exists as the Yaris in the Canadian and Mexican markets, so "that connection was already there." Plus, it's better for marketing. The combination of the two vehicles all under the Yaris nameplate means Toyota can focus its advertising dollars on one vehicle line, simply saying that you can now have the Yaris as a four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback. "The same goes with Corolla," Hubbell explains. She says the existing Toyota sedan and the Scion iM "paired really well," and again, it means Toyota can advertise the Corolla as having two body styles moving forward. There are benefits from a sales perspective, too. Never mind that Scion division sales were already included in Toyota's overall numbers – calling the new cars Yaris iA and Corolla iM means the company won't have to report these cars individual sales separately. It's like when Toyota made the Matrix – its technical name was Corolla Matrix, so its individual sales didn't have to be broken out. That means an extra boost in overall numbers for the Yaris and Corolla, even if the cars would have been reported under Toyota's numbers had they kept their Scion badges.

Fewest vehicles ever found eligible for Most American survey
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Once again, the most American car on the market is from an American brand. The Ford F-150 retained its number one spot in Cars.com's annual survey of the most American vehicles, trumping the Toyota Camry, which remains at number two.
Ford taking the top spot is small consolation, though, as the Detroit Three aren't too well represented here. General Motors scored a win at number seven, with the Chevrolet Corvette, while Chrysler squeaked in at number ten, with the Dodge Viper. Outside of those three vehicles, Toyota and Honda dominate the top ten.
What's most remarkable, though, is that there were so few cars available for this year's list.
Toyota gives dealers permission to drop Scion, shows them FR-S droptop, Juke rival first
Mon, 19 Aug 2013We recently heard that Toyota could be looking to shrink its network of Scion dealerships, and now Automotive News is reporting that the automaker has officially given its dealers the green light to dump Scion without any penalties. Currently, Scion has about 1,000 dealers, yet our report from August 8 quotes an industry analyst as suggesting a healthier figure would be between 350 and 500 outlets. But before its current dealers make a decision on whether or not to get rid of the youth-oriented brand, Toyota also showed off a couple potential future products in the pipeline.
The FT-86 Open Concept shown above was revealed back in March at the Geneva Motor Show, and AN says that an FR-S convertible was driven on stage at a recent national Toyota dealer meeting in Atlanta. There has still been no definitive word one way or another as to whether the droptop model will be built, but it could be a good way to follow up to the popular FR-S coupe. Another possible future product is a subcompact crossover, which was shown in drawing form at the meeting, presumably aimed at small CUVs like the Nissan Juke and the upcoming Honda CUV based on the Fit, a model recently previewed by the automaker's Urban SUV concept.
