1988 Toyota Land Cruiser Base Sport Utility 4-door 4.0l (fj62) on 2040-cars
Lexington, Kentucky, United States
"The
body is very, very nice…it is in the top 10% of FJ 62 bodies!' David Dearborn,
Owner of Urban Land Cruisers & Land Rovers in Atlanta, GA.
The 1980s was a golden age of Japan's economy and the legendary Land Cruiser endured its own golden age during the 80s too. Now that time is undeniably, and lamentably, gone. The automobiles of yesteryear were stronger and had remarkably higher quality materials than anything manufactured today. A few years ago I plumbed the depths of the vintage Land Cruiser market and am proud to offer my personal symbol of this Golden Age – my beautifully restored 1988 FJ62. I have spent considerable time selecting parts and restoring much of this fine piece of craftsmanship. My philosophy on restoration included OEM parts and keeping as much of the truck original as possible. This included a substantial amount of handwork and elbow grease to bring back to luster in this automotive champion. In the end, I believe I achieved a near "factory-new" finish while maintaining the character that was imparted by years of use. This car is meant to be used and enjoyed. That may be a little over the top but this truck is awesome and I've enjoyed it more than anything - good luck to the winning bidder! Originally owned by a doctor in Seattle, Washington for 23 years and sold to a dealership in the area when a mutual friend purchased the cruiser to restore in Georgia. I am the third true owner. I purchased the vehicle after the restoration process became too costly and took over in 2012. I am selling now because I've had twin boys and it's not the ideal car for infants. I will gladly answer any questions via email or phone
(eight five nine – four two zero – five eight eight six). I made a commitment to keeping as much of the truck
original as possible. Where replacement
parts were best option I chose OEM except spark plugs where I use Bosch. Prior to restoring we paid for a thorough third party inspection of the truck. All seats were removed and carpet to ensure no hidden rust. I can provide that original report from Urban Land Cruisers, LLC to interested buyer. We discovered that there is NO RUST on the exterior or interior frame of the truck during this inspection. In addition, they found the car body to be in the top 10% of all FJ62s!

Note: I may continue to work on the LC as it's something I love to do and genuinely care about its well-being. If there's something not mentioned above that concerns you please let me know. |

Impala crashes into Land Cruiser... to hide from a cheetah
Fri, 12 Jul 2013What would you do if a wild animal jumped into your vehicle through an open window during an African safari? What if said animal was an impala being chased by cheetahs? Though the scenario seems unbelievable, that's just what happened to a group of tourists in Kruger National Park in South Africa, and it was all caught on video.
With the tour groups stopped, a motorist with a video camera handy happens to catch the unlikely sight of a herd of impalas (not that kind of Impala) jumping over the tarmac while being followed, quickly of course, by two cheetahs. The feline predators thought they had cornered one impala and were closing in for the kill when it jumped through the open window of a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado - South Africa's version of the Lexus GX. Fortunately for the occupants of said vehicle, the cheetahs did not follow.
A short while later, one of the occupants in the Toyota fearlessly opens a door to let the poor animal out. It must have been its lucky day, because the cheetahs didn't take pursuit. Check out the circle life get interrupted by this traffic jam in the video below.
Toyota, Lexus expanding Takata airbag recall, re-notifying customers
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Toyota is re-notifying owners and expanding its Takata airbag inflator recall for some regions. The renewed campaign covers 247,000 examples of the Toyota Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia, Tundra and Lexus SC430 that are located in southern Florida, along the Gulf Coast, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa. All of the models come from the 2001-2004 model years and have potentially faulty Takata-made inflators on the front passenger side. According to the company, testing shows the problem warrants "immediate action," and its press release says, "this action intensifies Toyota's efforts to reach customers and remedy previously recalled vehicles, and a small number of newly included vehicles."
According to Toyota, it submitted some recalled inflators to Takata for testing, and it found a high probability of rupturing in high humidity areas. The automaker said it had no reports yet of injuries or fatalities related to the problem.
This is Toyota's third inflator recall this year. In June, it called in for repair the same vehicles from the 2003-2005 model years in high-humidity areas, and it conducted a separate campaign nationwide for the parts in additional models. In April 2013, it also announced a fix campaign for 1.73-million vehicles worldwide for the same issue.
Autoblog Minute: VW finds CO2 'irregularities', Takata dropped by automakers, SEMA recap
Fri, Nov 6 2015Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle, US regulators hit Takata Corporation with a substantial fine, and we head to Las Vegas for a look at tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle. US regulators issue a significant fine to Takata Corporation. And we take a peek inside tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. The VW diesel emissions scandal, first brought to light in September, gets a new wrinkle, as an internal investigation by the German automaker revealed [00:00:30] irregularities in CO2 emissions that could affect approximately 800,000 vehicles. VW estimates the issue could pose a 2-billion euro economic risk. VW claims that most of the vehicles affected have diesel engines, but industry analysts say a 1.4-liter gas engine is also affected. VW says that fuel consumption figures were set too low during the CO2 certification process. During all of this, sales of some diesel-powered Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche models [00:01:00] have been halted. Takata Corporation is back in the news in connection with its deadly airbag scandal. Federal regulators fined Takata $70 million. If the parts supplier does not comply, the fine could balloon to $200 million. Takata was also dropped this week by its biggest customer, Honda. And now, Toyota and Mazda will be following Honda's lead in dropping Takata. We're also hearing that Mitsubishi and Subaru are considering a switch in air-bag inflator suppliers. SEMA 2015 [00:01:30] came and went. We saw offerings from Mopar, like the AWD Challenger concept. Honda unveiled a Ridgeline that it will race at the Baja 1000, which gives us a hint at what future production model could look like. The celebrity presence was also felt in Vegas as it always is. Kid Rock brought a Duramax Diesel Chevy Silverado, and Acura restored and presented Ludacris with his now famous 1993 Acura Legend. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to come back on Saturday for my full recap, [00:02:00] where I'll have some added insight into Hyundai's foray into the luxury sector. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.
