Recently imported FJ75 from Australia, right hand drive. Titled in California. This 1989 was very well kept and up to strict Australia Road Worthy standards before its export. No leaks and in great running condition. I imported the Troopy through Washington, picked it up and drove it home without issue. Fluids are all fresh with only one small rust spot by the windshield. Extremely great shape for an 89. Five-speed transmission, full floater rear and a professionally installed dual-fuel system for gas and propane. Tons of upkeep work with AU receipts and it handles to show it. Very rare in the USA. Three seater with belts and an open bed ready for an overland build out. Solid axle cruiser never offered in the USA but with a reliable, stock 3F engine to make parts sourcing simple. New vent fan, all stock switches and levers work except AC. 1252 miles on gas system and about 50 on propane, both appear to be in great working order. Has tow rated hitch, plug ins and tow brake.

VIN #: JT721FJ750800635 

KNOWN ISSUES

AC system appears to be in working order but switch appears to need cleaning/replacement. LightForce light works when hard wired so just needs new switch or relay. The speakers have bad static and click in and out, but work great when direct wired, just need fresh lines run to radio. One of the rear door panels needs new snaps and there are some dents on the exterior of the back doors and rear left roof line. All easy access to bump out and repair, nothing to compromise function. Can be seen in the pictures. ARB compressor switch can be seen in pictures as well, but is not attached to anything. Needs tires. They have some run life left but no more then a few thousand miles.

Toyota's 'Easy Speak' Gives Parents A Voice In Backseats

Mon, Jul 21 2014

Parents often wish they could be in two places at once. A feature from Toyota now gives them the next best thing: The ability to yell at their children from a distance. The feature, known as Easy Speak, was introduced in the 2014 Highlander and can now be had in Toyota's Sienna minivan. It allows drivers to use a microphone to communicate with passengers via the car's speakers, all while keeping their eyes on the road. This can come in handy when your brood starts their territorial shoving matches. There's also an optional two way conversation mirror, which allows parents to keep check in on the action without having to turn their head around. These are welcome features. A three-week study from the Monash University Accident Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia showed that children – not telephones – are more likely to distract people while driving. Parents were distracted on 90 of 92 trips studied by the researchers, racking up an average of three minutes of distracted driving per 16 minute trip. Cell phones only made up one percent of that distracted drive time. Related Gallery Coolest minivans of all time Weird Car News Toyota Minivan/Van

2014 Toyota Corolla debuts with more power, interior space

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

Depending on who you ask, the best-selling car in the world is either the Ford Focus or Toyota Corolla. Not surprisingly, Toyota claims it's the Corolla. Either way, we're talking around a million individual units per year, and over 40 million over the car's lifetime on the market, so the redesign of Toyota's compact sedan is big-time news for the Japanese automaker that it needs to get right.
The Toyota Corolla was last redesigned way back in 2008, meaning the 2014 model is a long-overdue update to the C-segment sedan. Its age shows when compared to newer rivals like the Honda Civic, Chevy Cruze, Hyundai Elantra and the aforementioned Ford Focus when comparing technology features, fuel mileage and interior roominess. In an effort to solve those demerits, Toyota has added nearly four inches to the 2014 Corolla's wheelbase and will offer a new continuously variable transmission with seven simulated gear ratios.
Engine choices consist of two available 1.8-liter four-cylinder units, one with 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque, and another more efficient version that uses Toyota's new Valvematic technology to offer 140 horses and 126 lb-ft of torque. Eco and Sport modes will be selectable by the driver.
