1993 Toyota Land Cruiser Fzj80 on 2040-cars
Browns Valley, California, United States
The truck has been repainted its current shade of beige with black fender flares and Land Cruiser graphics on the lower bodywork. Equipment includes quad flood lights and LED auxiliary lighting, an ARB roof rack with a Smittybilt roof-top tent, ARB front bumper, custom-made rear bumper with integrated tow hooks, a front winch, front fender protection, rock sliders, an intake snorkel, swing-out rear spare carrier, a hi-lift jack, and a jerry can mount. A handful of photos from the repaint are provided in the gallery.
Black 16″ five-spoke wheels are installed with 1.5″ spacers and mounted with 315/75 Nitto Trail Grappler M/T tires. A matching spare is housed out back. The suspension has been modified with an Old Man Emu steering stabilizer and an Icon Stage 3 lift kit, consisting of remote reservoir shocks and dual-rate coil springs on all four corners. Braking comes from four-wheel disc brakes with ABS. An alignment was performed and the brake booster was replaced in December 2021.
The cabin features two rows of seats that have been reupholstered in tan and brown leather with matching door panels. Brown carpeting is protected by tan rubber floor mats. Amenities include a sunroof, automatic climate control, an Alpine touchscreen head unit, and power windows and locks. A JL-Audio subwoofer is mounted in the cargo area, and a CB radio has been added, along with an auxiliary panel for the aftermarket lighting.
A three-spoke steering wheel frames a 130-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 224k miles, approximately 20k of which were added under current ownership. The Carfax report shows a mileage inconsistency in May 2009, thus true mileage is unknown.
The 4.5-liter 1FZ-FE inline-six was rated at 212 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque when new. Service in December 2021 included replacing the throttle body assembly and oil pressure switch.
Power is delivered to all four wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and locking center and rear differentials. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery.

Toyota i-Road is no less strange in the flesh
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We've seen plenty of three-wheeled creations in our day, but none quite like the Toyota i-Road Concept. The "personal mobility vehicle" offers seating for two with driver and passenger positioned in a tandem position. While that may sound more like a motorcycle than a car, the closed cockpit means riders don't need a helmet. The design also takes a page from the 2008 Peugeot HyMotion3 Concept with an articulating front suspension that allows the driver to lean through corners thanks to "Active Lean" self-balancing technology. Unlike the funky Pug, however, the i-Road is a fully electric plug-in vehicle.
While there are just five-horsepower on hand from an electric motor, the i-Road should serve up a range of around 30 miles thanks to its lithium-ion battery, and Toyota claims the cells can be topped off in three hours with a "conventional domestic power supply." Sounds majestic. Take in the full press release below.
Hyundai tops Toyota in annual CarMD Vehicle Health Index
Fri, 06 Dec 2013CarMD has released its third annual Vehicle Health Index, which for the 2013 tracked the frequency and cost of repairs for "check engine" problems of 119-million vehicles built between the 2003 and 2013 model years. For the first two years of the index, Toyota ranked at the top of the list, but this year's results see Hyundai moved to number one, pushing Toyota down a spot.
The Korean automaker's rise to the top has been "fueled by its low repair frequency," according to CarMD. Toyota is second to Hyundai in lowest repair frequency, but Toyotas also have the highest average cost of repair. (Interestingly, General Motors vehicles have the lowest average.) Both Toyota's and Hyundai's manufacturer "health" ratings suffered this year, but Toyota took a bigger hit, which also is what helped Hyundai achieve the top ranking.
While Hyundai is the top manufacturer in the index, the 2012 Toyota Camry is the top vehicle. The best-ranking Hyundai was the 2010 Elantra (behind three Nissan models and four Toyotas), which took the number eight spot. Hyundai has six other vehicles in the top 100.
Incoming Toyota chairman wants a Supra successor
Fri, 14 Jun 2013We'd venture to guess that in recent years, there have probably been almost as many rumors swirling about a Toyota Supra successor than there have been for a mid-engine Corvette. (Case in point: the speculative renderings we came across a few years ago, pictured above.) While we don't expect the Corvette's recipe to change drastically any time soon, it looks like a Supra - or more appropriately a Supra-like car - could be closer than we think.
First, there was an announcement of a BMW-Toyota joint venture. Said venture would, among other things, "Set up a feasibility study to define a joint platform concept for a mid-size sports vehicle."
Upping chances even further, a new Automotive News report claims that incoming Toyota chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada wants a vehicle "comparable" to the Supra. Clearly there are a lot of parties that want a new Supra to happen - to say nothing of enthusiasts - but Uchiyamada might be just the guy to get it done. None of this is proof positive of an impending Supra, to be sure, but winds do seem favorable.
