1993 Toyota Land Cruiser - Right Year, Right Color, Right Condition with DIFF LOCKS. After a long exhaustive search we found this cruiser in LA in January - finally one that hadn't been beat up and was regularly maintained over its life. After getting home, I proceeded to go through it and fix all of the little things, then off to the mechanic to do everything that could be done to make this cruiser ready for the next 100K miles. Then after having it for 6 months, a low mile 100 Series has come along and the wife likes the ride of the 100 more than the 80 series so here is a cruiser that is in the right shape and has been brought up to date with everything mechanically one could want done for sale and looking for a new home. The cruiser came with nearly new tires and front brakes when I got it 3K miles ago. Then, I had the following done: Full A/C conversion and extra parts, full tune up, plug wires, cap, etc., new shocks all around, changed all fluids, fixed leaking valve cover gasket - THIS CRUISER DOES NOT LEAK A DROP, replaced various rubber compopnents, new throttle cable, cleaned up shifter linkage, re-wrapped wiring harness with heat wrap, new hood struts, battery terminal upgrade, new driver's seatbelt, cleaned up the wonky window tracking....seriously, just about everything that could possibly be done - this thing is set up for a long time to come. I even put an expensive set of Coco mats in her thinking we would have it a ong long time...Everything works as intended with the exception of the stock radio CD player - one is stuck in it, and the D light in the dash doesn't light up (do they ever?). It drives tight without any noises and is a pleasure to drive. Cosmetically - I am a car guy so am probably way more picky than most people would be, but one of the things that impressed me about this rig was that the body and stock paint is straight as an arrow - really no door dings to speak of so reads very nicely. The bumpers have corner scratching like they all seem to get and there is a scratch on the upper rear hatch like someone backed into a branch or something. There is no rust with the exception of a little bubbling at the bottom of the rear hatch window like you usually see - no rust anywhere else. The interior is leather - the front seats have been covered with new Specter OffRoad covers as the leather is pretty bad - the seat is firm and the foam is not coming apart, but is someone wants all leather - the front seats should be redone and the rear seat re-dyed - it is supple and soft, but the LA heat has definitely left its mark as well as in a few cracks on the dash. This is a really nice LC that will not disappoint - it is being listed locally as well as it is getting sold - am not going to keep it long so don't hesitate if you are interested. I am not interested in any trades so please don't ask and please only serious buyers inquire. There may be other cruisers out there for a little less, but you can look a long time before finding one that is a good candidate to start with in the first place, and the combination of condition and all of the mechanics gone through on this rig are tough to replicate. No slick photos or over detailing on this one - just a good honest LC looking for a good home...Thanks for your interest and please submit any questions you might have and I will get right back to you.

Toyota wants improved crash scores with midcycle facelifts

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

The performances of some Toyotas in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) regimen of crash tests leave something to be desired. Consider the small overlap frontal crash test: only six Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles have undergone the new test, yet all but one of them received a poor rating. Osama Nagata, CEO of Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America Inc., says midcycle vehicle updates are in the works to address the safety issues brought to light by the IIHS test, Automotive News reports. He confirmed that the RAV4 is getting safety updates following its crash test performance last month, but he didn't name any other models.
All three Toyotas that were tested - 2013 RAV4, 2012-2013 Prius V, 2012-2013 Camry - received poor ratings. The 2007-2012 Lexus ES 350 and 2006-2013 IS 250/350 also received poor ratings. The only other Toyota Motor Corp. vehicle to score better than poor is the 2014 Scion TC. It received an acceptable rating in the small overlap frontal crash test and is the only recent vehicle in Toyota's line-up to get the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating.
The small overlap front crash test measures the safety of a car when its front left corner is strikes an object during an accident, bypassing traditional crumple zones, which deform in a way to protect passengers. In 2009, automakers were alerted to the forthcoming addition of the test, which was first implemented last year, IIHS spokesman Russ Rader says. They responded with differing intensity, he says, pointing out that Subaru and Honda started incorporating design changes early on so their cars would perform well in the tests.

Toyota reveals Tokyo Motor Show concepts

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Toyota is getting ready for the Tokyo Motor Show later this month, and to tease us, the Japanese automaker has released photos and information about the concept vehicles it'll be bringing to the show. In all, there'll be five world premieres from Toyota (six if you split the Voxy and Noah minivan concepts), including some vehicles that'll be released in the near future, and others that need more time to incubate.
Let's get the world premieres out first. Toyota is a pioneer of gasoline-electric hybrids, but it's also pursuing hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles. The clearest indication of this is the FCV concept, a hydrogen-powered sedan in the same vein as the the FCV-R that will bow at the auto show. (Read more about the FCV, here.)
Other world debuts include the FV2 concept (pictured), a unique, one-seat future vehicle that emphasizes the "Fun to Drive" philosophy; the JPN TAXI concept, a next-generation taxi concept designed with Japanese hospitality in mind; and the Voxy and Noah concepts, next-generation minivans that differ most in exterior design cues and are scheduled to launch in the Japanese market in early 2014.

Mazda's new Mexican plant capacity rises to 230,000

Sat, 05 Jan 2013

After the turmoil of last year, 2013 is getting off to a much better start for Mazda. The company has issued a release indicating that the forthcoming plant in Salamanca, Mexico has had its production capacity raised even though it isn't scheduled to go online until March 2014. The original plans called for a 140,000-unit capacity, 90,000 of that allotted for the Mazda2 and Mazda3, the remaining 50,000 for a small car Mazda would build for Toyota that would be based on the Mazda2. The new plans call for raising that by 90,000 units to a total of 230,000 units within two years, by the end of March 2016, and it looks like it will all go toward Mazda production to satisfy growing demand for Skyactiv vehciles. The Mexican plant's opening will be the return of Mazda manufacturing to North America, after Mazda6 production was moved back to Japan last year.
More good news for the company is that it projects 10 billion yen ($114 million) in net income for the financial year that will end in March. That would be a welcome turnaround from the 100-billion-yen loss in the previous financial year, part of a series of three annual losses in a four-year span.
You'll find the press release with the factory update below.
