The Toyota Land Cruiser Diesel 60 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 well-maintained, low-mileage HJ60 in April. Outside of the US, the diesel Land Cruisers are legendary vehicles, 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. It is 100% legal to own and drive in all 50 states.

eBay requires a 17-digit VIN in the listing, the actual VIN for this HJ60 is HJ60039833. It was produced for the Japanese Domestic Market and does not have a 17-digit VIN. The original VIN plate reading HJ60039833 is still fixed in the factory location on the engine firewall. This VIN is also stamped into the frame behind the driver side front wheel. The Missouri title and customs documentation all match this VIN. This vehicle can be legally registered and driven in all 50 US States.

Low-Mileage, Original Condition

This HJ60 is a low-mileage, well-maintained vehicle. The photos show the condition and tell the story. The body has a few paint chips, scratches and dings as might be expected from a 27-year old vehicle. Please view the complete set of photos to see the complete condition. There is a small rust spot on the driver side door skin. This can be seen in detail in the full set of photos. There is some surface rust on a few additional spots as can be seen in the photos.

The interior is in excellent condition, and appears nearly like-new. All the gauges and interior lights work. The heat and A/C both work properly. The A/C was inspected by a professional shop and converted to R134a. The original radio has been removed.

See the complete set of photos to review the vehicle's condition. There is a 24v-12v converter that came with the vehicle.

This HJ60 is loaded with options including:

  • 4.0L Diesel
  • 5-Speed Manual
  • Factory PTO Winch
  • Power Brakes
  • Power Steering
  • Power Sunroof
  • Factory A/C
  • Tilt Steering Column
  • 3.70:1 Axle Ratio

The 2H diesel engine works flawlessly, and you can expect to get 22-25 MPG during normal driving. The manual transmission passed all service inspections, and shifts smoothly. The differentials and transfer case had clean fluid, free of any indication of problems. The tires are solid with excellent tread. See the full list of everything inspected and serviced in the section below. This HJ60 is a great vehicle for driving around town or on the highway. The iconic Land Cruiser appearance and side stripe make this a unique and attention-grabbing vehicle.

This HJ60 has only 66,877 original miles! That's 107,672 KMs.

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 HJ60 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.

How Toyota's 100-year textile history influenced FCV hydrogen fuel cell car

Thu, Sep 11 2014

Turns out, Toyota had a surprising ace in the hole when it came to building the new fuel tanks for the FCV hydrogen fuel cell car, which is coming next year. Well before Toyota became the Toyota Motor Company, it was the Toyota Industries Corporation and it made textile looms. This is important because the main structure of the hydrogen tank is wound carbon fiber. When Toyota set out to increase the strength of the tanks to hold hydrogen stored at 10,000 psi (up from 5,000 in the previous tanks), it was able to draw on its 100-year-old history as it designed its car of the future. "A lot of that textile experience came back when we did the tank wrapping." – Justin Ward "We have a lot of experience with textiles," Justin Ward told AutoblogGreen at the 21st World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in Detroit this week, "and a lot of that textile experience came back when we did the tank wrapping." On top of being able to hold the higher-pressure hydrogen, Toyota's first attempt to build its own hydrogen tank was six times faster than the industry standard, so it saved time and money as well as working better. The company will also be able to inspect its own tanks. Ward is the general manager of powertrain system control at the Toyota Technical Center and hydrogen vehicles are something he knows a lot about. The reason for the stronger, 10,000-psi tanks is because the 5,000-psi tanks only offered around 180-200 miles of range, even with four tanks in the early $129,000 FCHV Highlander hydrogen prototypes. The FCV only has two, but they will able to deliver the 300-mile range that customers told Toyota they wanted. Dropping the number of tanks not only obviously reduced the cost for the tanks themselves but also the number of valves and hoses and other components you need. Despite the benefits of higher compression, going much higher doesn't make sense. 10,000 psi is the "natural progression," Ward said, because "you start to bump up against compression inefficiencies." Think of an air compressor. When hydrogen is produced at a wastewater treatment plant or a reforming site, Ward said, is it at around ambient pressure (14 psi). That has to be raised, using compressors, all the way to 10,000 psi. "That takes energy," Ward said, "and every doubling of pressure adds another doubling of energy needed, so it starts to add up pretty fast if you go too high." Component specifications are also fine at 10,00 psi, but more difficult at higher levels.

Toyota reveals new customizable Camatte57s kid-friendly concepts

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

Toyota plans to follow up last year's kid-friendly Camatte concept with two new versions: the Camatte57s and Camatte57s Sport (right). Like the original Camatte, the two new concepts will make their debut at the International Tokyo Toy Show, which is happening this weekend.
Not much has changed with these two new Camatte models. Like their predecessor, they both feature detachable body panels (the count is up to 57), a 1+2 seating array and reconfigurable pedals that allow children to operate the gas and brakes while Mom or Dad steers. What is new is an open-top roadster design that even eschews doors in favor of easier ingress/egress. They look like something a tourist would rent to get around a Hawaiian island, though we dig the distinct personalities of each model's design.
Both cars are all-electric, though Toyota hasn't provided any other specifications, like what makes the Sport model sporty besides its more aggressive body panels and silver, black and red color scheme. That's just as well, as neither concept, like the original Camatte before them, is street legal.

Toyota recalls 337,000 RAV4s and HS250h models for tie rod failure

Thu, Sep 1 2016

UPDATE: The post has been updated with additional information from NHTSA. The Basics: Toyota is recalling 337,000 2006-2011 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers built between October 31, 2005 and September 7, 2010 as well as 2010 model year Lexus HS250h cars built between July 6, 2009 and August 26, 2010. The Problem: When either an affected RAV4 or HS250h is given an alignment and the tie rod adjustment nut on the rear control arm isn't tightened properly, the threads on the tie rod can start to rust. If this happens, the nut may break off and throw off the alignment drastically and suddenly. This isn't a case of the car simply pulling to one side, either. This would seriously upset the balance of the car and could cause the driver to lose control and crash. This is also the third time these vehicles have been recalled for the same issue. Injuries/Deaths: It's unknown if this control arm issue has resulted in any injuries or deaths. Autoblog reached out to Toyota for more information, but a company representative told us that the company isn't able to discuss injuries or deaths caused by this issue (if any) at this time. Based on information from NHTSA documents, it does not appear that any crashes, injuries or deaths have been attributed to the defect addressed in the current recall. The Fix: The dealer will completely replace the rear suspension assemblies at no cost to the owner. The tie rods and nuts will also be coated in epoxy to prevent future rusting from occurring. According to Car and Driver, the previous recalls involved tightening nuts, coating decent tie rods in epoxy and completely replacing rusted ones. The car magazine reports that further complaints were filed and the company is now replacing all components regardless of condition. If you own one: Toyota will notify owners of affected cars by mail. Owners can also check whether their cars are affected by entering the VIN at safercar.gov/vin. Owners with questions can also reach Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 or Lexus customer service at 1-800-255-3987.
