1993 Toyota Land Cruiser project. It is dark hunter green. It was a daily driver but now the transmission is not working properly. It wont' go in reverse or high gear. It has a few small dings but it has never been crashed.

I drive it some times but about 40 mph is as fast as it can be safely operated.

The engine seems great. It leaks oil but does not burn oil. It recently passed smog check here in Meridian, Idaho.

The tires were recently replaced and are nearly like new. (Yokohamas) The starter and battery were replaced about 2 years ago. It starts crisp and easy and runs/idles smooth.

This is a partial list of the defects.

The power steering leaks and is empty. The paint has got those whitish patches from the clear coat breaking down. The front leather seats are falling apart. The center console lid broke and was removed (and tossed) years ago. The headlight switch is non operational and is operated by a toggle switch hanging under the steering consol. The plastic surround of the steering console is off and the clips that hold it in place are broken. The windshield is cracked. The gas charged hood and hatch assists won't hold them up any more. And yes, you will find more issues.

I have owned it for just about 20 years as I bought it in 1994.

It is kind of used up but would make a great project. It can be driven locally (not over 40 mph) but it is not ready to go!! This is a fixer upper in need of multiple repairs!!! It is sold completely "AS IS"!

I am not a shop. I do not have shipping contacts but you will find me easy to deal with. I know you can't be sure about an "AS IS" car until you see it. If you win and come to look it over and find anything you do not like, I will refund the deposit and friendly end the transaction. I ask that you come take a look with in 2 weeks. Cash only, if you send a shipper, he must be able to look it over, make a final decision and pay in cash.

Watch this video diary of a 900-hp Toyota Supra build

Sat, 08 Jun 2013

If you've ever looked at a car with nearly 1,000 horsepower and wondered why anyone needs that amount of thrust, you may want to take a look at the video below. In it, one gentleman details his descent into Toyota Supra madness, starting with a pristine factory example and stumbling down the rabbit hole of modification. What makes this particular clip interesting is just how honest the owner is as he explains the evolution of his car. He doesn't just prattle off a list of parts like he's reading the menu at an IHOP.
Instead, he painstakingly pulls us through the car's growth, detailing each iteration and what pushed him to the next stage of the build every time. From this point of view, it looks less like someone walked into a shop and lit a massive stack of $100 bills on fire and more like a quasi-logical progression of events. Or at least it does to me. You can check out the build in the video below, complete with plenty of Fast and the Furious references and racing. Win, win, win.

New drifting world record set in Toyota GT86

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

We have entered a drifting arms race. Last year, BMW smashed the Guinness World Record for the longest drift by hanging the tail out for 51.3 miles around a wet skid pad in an M5 at the BMW Performance Driving School in South Carolina. That beat the previous milestone of nearly seven miles. Now, Bimmer's record is up in smoke as well and is in the possession of a Toyota.
German driver Harald Müller pummeled the old record to drift for 89.55 miles around a 0.15-mile (235.5-meter) course in Samsun, Turkey, in a Toyota GT86 (or Scion FR-S as it's known in the US). According to the Guinness World Records website, it took him 612 laps and 2 hours, 25 minutes and 18 seconds to manage the achievement. Sit back to watch a few minutes of the German's two and a half hours behind the wheel with the tail out.

Toyota engineer warns automous cars could increase fuel use, urban sprawl

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

An increasing number of people are starting to consider the potential downsides of a transition to autonomous cars. The FBI is already looking at them for the potential ill effects on law enforcement, and a scientist for Toyota is raising the possibility that driverless vehicles could actually be detrimental to the environment over the long term.
Ken Laberteaux, who studies future transportation for Toyota, thinks that autonomous cars could lead to more pollution, not less, says Bloomberg. However, Laberteaux's theory isn't so much based purely on science as it is considering behavioral and historical trends. "US history shows that anytime you make driving easier, there seems to be this inexhaustible desire to live further from things," said Laberteaux during a presentation at the Automated Vehicles Symposium in San Francisco, CA, cited by Bloomberg.
Laberteaux's belief is that if commuters can make their drives easier, then they will be more willing to live farther away from the cities where they work. The end result would be more urban sprawl and increased pollution from the longer travel times.
