I have a 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser (FZJ-80, Locked) for sale. I have owned the car for about 3 years. I bought it form a wholesaler in Leesburg as a project/daily driver, with no service history. Over the last 2 years I have brought the car up to good standards, fixed all the things that were wrong with it. Most of the issues were due to the age of the car, and fairly typical for a 20 year old car, with some specifics to 80's. The complete list is below. I have been driving the car for 3 years and have no reliability issues with it. Starts and runs with no issues, and all the bad stuff has been fixed. If you look at the list of things done there is several k$ of work there, if you were to price it at a shop. Things that were done since I bought the car:

- Replaced front diff output pinion seal

- Replaced front oil pump gasket (this is a common problem with FZ motors)

- Replaced front main crank seal

- Replaced all front brake components (rotors, calipers, pads)

- Complete front axel service (major seals, minor seals, bearings, knuckle bearings, outer seals)

- Replaced shocks (all 4) stock monroe

- Replaced steering linkage joints (all 4)

- Replaced steering damper

- Replaced power steering pump, flushed fluid

- Replaced power steering pump drive gear

- Replaced power steering gear box, and u-joint

- Sealed the roof rack for leaks

- Replaced Front diff oil

- Replaced transfer case oil

- Replaced dome light

- Flushed brake fluid

- Replaced rear diff oil

- Replaced stuck emergency brake drum lever (driver side)

- Fixed front passenger power seat worm gear assembly

- Replaced coolant down tube gaskets

- Replaced coolant hose

- Replaced rear brake shoes

- Replaced battery

- Replaced rotor and plug wires

- Replaced and filled AC system (evaporator core, Compressor, Exp Valve, Dryier)

- Changed oil regularly around 5k miles

- Installed new head unit and speakers (kenwood, I think)

Full Disclosure:

- The car has an odometer that reads 76k Miles, but the real mileage on the car is approximately 202k miles, someone obviously either changed the dash or rolled it. I had the car fax pulled when I bought it and the last note was at 193k, so adding the mileage I used, its at about 202k right now.

- Rear windshield spray does not function, the motor and 3-way valve works, but there is a blockage in the line somewhere

- Everything else works, including the lockers

Family life and other responsibilities take up most of my time, and I am kind of over the project. Would love this car to go to someone who would be able to finish it, and give it a good home on the trail, or some overland adventure somewhere. . ..

If you know these cars and see the work that went into it. . . compared to what is out there. . .. its worth it, but I am open to reasonable negotiation.

Call or email if you would like to discuss, will share any info or knowledge I have on the vehicle.

Ram takes out frustrations on Camry

Fri, May 29 2015

No, not a Ram pickup truck. This is an actual ram, as in a male sheep, headbutting the hell out of a Toyota Camry that made the unfortunate decision to interrupt its battle with a rival member of the flock. Now, before you say, "How dare that Camry harm that cuddly sheep," we'd like to point out just how viciously the two males were fighting before the Toyota butted in. And after smashing the driver's side front fascia, the ram goes right back to attempting to beat down its opponent. All things considered then, we'd call this Ram: 1, Camry: 0.

eBay Find of the Day: Harley-Davidson powered Toyota Prius [w/video]

Thu, 03 Apr 2014

Sometimes we pluck cars from the listings of eBay Motors because they're old and interesting, some for being simply lovely, some for rarity and some for pure fun. And sometimes we pick eBay Finds of the Day, because they're hacked apart Toyota Prius' with Harley Davidson V-twin-power; concocted by the same mind that brought you innumerable Jalopnik articles and is partially responsible for the joy that is the 24 Hours of LeMons. This time it's that last one.
A fairly subtle tweet from long-time Jalop contributor and well-regarded grease monkey, Murilee Martin, hipped us to this crazy Frankenstein Prius. Built from the bones of a 2008 Toyota and the heart of a 1986 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883, the motive portmanteau is, well... it's a thing.
Toyota's advanced Hybrid Synergy Drive has been unceremoniously wrenched and snipped out of the engine bay, making room (via an artful hole in the hood) for the towering, bored out V-twin. Or, as the maestro himself puts it:

Question of the Day: Ever consider driving a minivan?

Thu, May 12 2016

Since I'm supposed to know something about cars, it happens all the time: friends and relatives ask me advice about what kind of vehicle they should get. Very often, the only type of vehicle that can check every item on their wish list (e.g., hauls lots of people and stuff, gets good fuel economy, has great crash-test ratings, can take four Great Danes camping, and so on) is a modern minivan... and, of course, nobody wants to hear this. I'm not a minivan person, they will wail, and so they end up with a cramped, fuel-swilling SUV or a not-so-space-efficient minivan-in-disguise CUV. So, is it worth becoming one of those minivan people in order to get the incredible usefulness of these masterpieces of vehicle engineering, or do you hold your head high and drive something that doesn't quite meet your needs?
