I am selling my 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60.   


Exterior:  The body of this truck is in average condition for a Land Cruiser.  It does have rust on the bottom of the body (Rockers, wheel wells, etc) as well as underneath/frame.  Please note that this vehicle has spent most of its life in Indiana and is subject to harsh winters.  Most Land Cruisers have rust, so this should be no shock to a buyer.  As far as I could tell, There is no rust on the roof or tailgate (These are other usual Land Cruiser rust spots).  Some of the rust has been repaired/prevented by a previous owner.  From 10-15 feet away, the truck looks pretty good for the age.  It's still certainly a head turner, especially in the Midwest where classic Land Cruisers are VERY uncommon.  The roof was recently painted with a white Plasti-Dip spray.  This spray can be removed like a sticker if you do not like the look.  The same can be said for the grille and front/rear bumpers.  Again, it removes like a sticker causing no damage to the surface below.  I had this done to customize the appearance and give it a more classic Land Cruiser look!

Interior:  The interior of this truck is in good condition for the year.  The dash board does have a few cracks in it.  You can purchase a color matched dash cover for around $100 right here on eBay.  The seats are in good shape, but the driver's seat was replaced with one from a newer Toyota, and is a different gray cloth material, but doesn't look bad.  In my research, I have found that Dodge Neon seats are a direct replacement for these trucks.  I am in the process of locating a clean set of these to include in the sale (However, I cannot guarantee I find them before the auction is over).  If I do find a set, you will receive the Land Cruiser seats with the truck.  The carpet is in decent shape, but has nice rubber floor mats to protect it.  Recently installed was a Pioneer CD player with a direct iPod control cable that will charge and connect your iPod while using it.  Additionally, new front and rear speakers were installed (Kicker/Sony).  The sound quality is nice!.  All the glass is in good shape with no cracks.  The door locks and windows work just fine (Crank windows/manual locks).  The headliner is very clean and not sagging (Rare for a Land Cruiser).  Also added were aftermarket Oil Pressure, Coolant Temperature, and volt meter gauges.  The factory gauges work, but in my research I found that many Land Cruiser enthusiasts prefer aftermarket gauges to the OEM gauges due to the ability to get a more accurate reading from the new gauges.

Mechanical:  This is one of the smoothest, quietest running vehicles I have ever owned.  It idles nicely and drives smooth.  From a distance, it is so quiet you can barely hear it run!  The 4x4 works and the hubs lock and unlock with ease.  The brakes work just fine and stops the vehicle well.  The rear shoes may need to be replaced down the road because they make noise from time to time when stopping.  I will include a set of new shoes for the winning bidder.  Additionally, it will need new shocks or shock mounts, as they make noise when going over a bump.  It also does not have a spare tire (I have no idea why).  Newer parts are a full tune up, fluid changes, carburetor sorting and tune, power steering pump, thermostat, clutch master cylinder, choke cable, CD player & speakers (As indicated above), and a new battery with tooless/quick disconnect terminals.  All exterior lights work properly.

Other:  The previous owner informed me that some emissions equipment was removed some time ago.  If you are in a state that checks for emissions on this old of a vehicle, you will need to check about that status.  Indiana does not perform mandated emissions testing statewide, thus this Land Cruiser has not been subjected to any testing and I do not know if this would/will pass your state's emission requirements.  Additionally, some time ago the Air Conditioning compressor and it's hoses going to the inside of the car were removed (I am unsure why).  This truck IS equipped with A/C, so you should be able to source the other pieces from a salvage yard, parts store, or other places to get your A/C working again.  The heat is HOT and will keep you warm in cold weather.  It even has a blower under the passenger seat that can be adjusted from hot to cold, and it still works!

Mileage/Title/Additional Information:  The title on this truck is CLEAN AND CLEAR, and not rebuilt.  It is registered in my name and ready to be signed over to a new owner.  The mileage information on the title, as issued by the State of Indiana is exempt.  I was informed by a representative from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles that vehicles over ten years old are usually subject to being labeled as exempt from mileage.  Also, this truck has 159,000 miles.  The speedometer needle broke while driving and I replaced the entire gauge cluster with a different one, so the odometer reads 119,000 miles.  Again, this is exempt from the State of Indiana odometer information as indicated on the title, but I wanted to inform of the speedometer change-out.  Regardless, this is still low mileage for a Land Cruiser, and really a Toyota in general.  It is very hard to find one with less than 200,000 miles on it.


Bidding:  By bidding on this auction, you agree that you have read all information in this listing and understand the condition, age, and anything mentioned in the title.  I will check all bidder's feedback.  If you have been known to be a non-paying bidder in the past, I will contact eBay and cancel your bid.  Please only bid if you intend to purchase the Toyota.

Winning Bidder:  By winning this auction, you agree to all terms as disclosed in this auction.  By 48 hours after the auction close, you will pay a $500 deposit via PayPal, additionally, you will also pay a $75 handling/document preparation fee (This is on top of the entire purchase price, so Purchase Price + $75= Total Amount and also includes a final wash, wax, and interior detailing).  By the end of seven days of winning the auction, you agree to send a certified check from your bank for the remaining balance.  The vehicle and title will not be released until this check clears with my bank.  This is pretty standard for vehicles sold on eBay.  If you do not pay any amount by the end of the seven days, you will be reported to eBay as a non-paying bidder, and you agree to be charged a $50, non-refundable fee for failing to pay.  This will be done via PayPal and is, again, not refundable.  Additionally, you forfeit any chance of being able to purchase the vehicle and will be blocked if I must re-list the Land Cruiser.  

Shipping:  Shipping of this vehicle is the buyer's responsibility.  I agree to work with the buyer and shipping company to arrange a time for the vehicle to be picked up.  Please choose a shipper with a good reputation.

Other Information:  All information provided is given according to the best knowledge of the seller at the time of this listing.  This vehicle is a used vehicle, and is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty expressed or implied.  Registration, insurance, and any additional fees in the future are the sole responsibility of the buyer. There are no refunds or returns on the vehicle. Also, I do have this truck for sale locally, and reserve the right to end this auction early if it sells locally.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford Fusion and Toyota Highlander named Best Hybrids for Families; Funky Prius motorhome

Fri, Mar 13 2015

Tesla Model S customers in China will receive a "Universal Mobile Charger" with their vehicle. The charger will allow drivers to charge their Tesla anywhere, without having to search out a Supercharger when out in the wild. It allows Model S drivers a bit more freedom and helps alleviate worries about traveling too far from home. It could also help sway potential customers who suffer from range anxiety. The charger will be free to new and existing customers when it becomes available this summer. Read more at Car News China. US News & World Reports' list of Best Cars for Families includes two hybrids. The 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid was chosen as the Best Hybrid Car for Families, while the 2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid was picked as the Best Hybrid SUV for Families. The Fusion hybrid was chosen for its roomy, comfortable cabin, as well as the MyKey system's features for new drivers. The Highlander Hybrid offers eight seats - good for carpooling - as well as good mileage and a quality infotainment system. Read more at US News & World Reports or at Hybrid Cars. Audi plans to give its electric vehicles looks that differentiate them from the rest of the lineup. "In early 2018, we will launch a battery-powered sports activity vehicle in the large premium segment with a range of more than 500 kilometers," says Audi's head of development, Ulrich Hackenberg. "It will have a new, very attractive design, which we are developing especially for the E-Tron range and for battery-electric vehicles." According to analysts, part of the reason the Toyota Prius was so successful was because it was easy to distinguish from other Toyota models with conventional powertrains. Read more at Automotive News Europe. An Australian man turned his Toyota Prius into a miniature motorhome. James Lawler used mostly scraps to build the tiny house – complete with tin roof, chimney, and stained glass window – for just $150 Australian. It took him about a week to finish. Lawler made use of his creation at the Meredith Music Festival so he didn't have to sleep in a tent. He was, however, fined by police for driving the makeshift motorhome.

Details about next-gen Toyota Prius emerge

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

The Toyota Prius is undeniably the king of the hybrid market in the United States, with a 39.4 percent market share in 2013. With the next-generation Prius likely to go on sale in 2015, Toyota is trying to build an even more efficient hybrid to keep its control of the market.
Keeping cost down will be one of the major concerns of the new Prius. The next generation will ride on the new, modular Toyota New Global Architecture platform. The lighter underpinnings will improve efficiency and will reduce production costs by allowing for more shared components among vehicles. Toyota will not reveal how many vehicles will use the new platform. But even with the cheaper platform, price will remain a concern. Toyota is still deciding whether all versions of the next Prius will use lithium-ion batteries or whether some models will stick with the heavier nickel-metal hydride batteries to keep cost down.
Of course, the reason most people buy the Prius is because of its great fuel efficiency. Toyota will aim for at least an 8 percent improvement in fuel economy in the next Prius, which would increase it to 58 miles per gallon city and 52 mpg highway.
