This is my husband's 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser. He passed away last fall, and this was his baby. My kids and I have enjoyed it this summer, but we are planning to move to Michigan in a couple of months and I have decided that it is something I won't take with us.

We bought this for about $8k in 2010. Over about 3 years we modified it and turned it into something pretty awesome. I would estimate we put about $45,000 into it in mods. We also put bedliner on the exterior so that you can go crazy in brush and with rugged terrain with rocks and it won't get dents and scratches. 

It has an ARB front bumper and a custom rear bumper with a ladder and spare on the back and an ARB roof rack. This vehicle is just hardcore with serious off-roading gear on it, including a winch that is operated by a hand control (i.e., not manual.) There is also an ARB camping overhang that is attached to the roof rack. It makes camping trips really nice, provides shade and cover when there is rain.

It has a functional snorkel and a brand new battery. The tires are very heavy-duty, and are 2 years old. They are about the best you can get for off-roading and durability with very large treads.

Some of the interior has been taken out because he was working on redoing it all, but I have all of the parts to it and can include them in the sale. None of what he took out interferes with driving in it and riding in it.

The radio/cd player is new, with an iPod port. The radio also is connected to a camera in the rear of the vehicle so that you have clear footage of the rear when driving in reverse.

There is so much more, but this ad is getting long. Really, you need to come take a look if you are interested. Only serious customers though, please. It is not easy for me to let go of this because it was so special to our family. So I don't want to show it unless the buyer is serious about it.

I also have some gear he used for working on it that is in our storage unit, and could show that, too, and consider including it in the sale of the vehicle with an adjusted package price, considering what you would want from that stuff. (Things such as a lift/jack, heavy-duty towing ropes, tire chains, a air pump for adjusting pressure on different terrain that runs off the car battery, etc.)

Toyota buys Daihatsu for small-car development

Sun, Jan 31 2016

Toyota is getting serious about small cars, but it's not going at it alone. Instead it's turning to its subsidiary Daihatsu, with which it will now share more resources and expertise. And in the process, it's acquiring the remaining stake in the smaller automaker. Daihatsu is a Japanese carmaker founded in its present form in 1951, but with roots that trace back as far as 1907. Toyota acquired a controlling interest of 51 percent in Daihatsu in 1988, bringing the company under its umbrella. But now it is raising its stake to 100 percent by a reciprocal share-swap agreement that will see Daihatsu's other shareholders take 0.27 shares in the larger company for each share in the smaller. As part of the new arrangement, the Daihatsu division will take the lead in developing new small cars, both for itself and for its parent company. Toyota in turn will also share key technologies with Daihatsu, and both will share each other's networks in emerging markets. The bottom line is that we can expect to see more small Toyotas and Scions developed and built by Daihatsu in the near future. The Daihatsu name may not be as familiar to Americans as some of Toyota's other brands. It briefly sold models like the Charade and Rocky in the United States under its own name in the late 1980s and early 90s. However US customers may be more familiar with those it built for the Scion brand, such as the Scion xB that was based on the Daihatsu Materia. While the realistic part of our brains force us to admit it's unlikely, the dreamer within us will hold out hope that the new arrangement could see a Scion version of the nimble little Daihatsu Kopen roadster make its way to our shores in the coming years. Toyota and Daihatsu to Strengthen Small Car Operations through Unified Global Strategy Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) and its subsidiary Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. (Daihatsu) have reached an agreement whereby Daihatsu will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota by way of a share exchange (expected to be completed in August 2016). The purpose of the agreement is to develop of ever-better cars by adopting a unified strategy for the small car segment, under which both companies will be free to focus on their core competencies. Ultimately, this will help Daihatsu and Toyota to attain their joint goal of achieving sustainable growth. Additionally, the aim of the share exchange is to enhance the value of both brands.

Toyota To Stop Building Cars In Australia

Tue, Feb 11 2014

Toyota said Monday it will stop making cars in Australia by the end of 2017, spelling a final blow to auto manufacturing in the country, where car companies say high production costs and tough competition have crippled business conditions. Toyota's announcement, which will result in the loss of around 2,500 jobs, was widely anticipated, coming just two months after General Motors Co. said it would end production in Australia by 2017. Ford Motor Co. announced in May that it would cease Australian production in 2016. All told, some 6,600 manufacturing jobs will be lost between the three companies. Mitsubishi Motors Corp. stopped manufacturing in Australia in 2008. Toyota Motor Corp. said its decision was based on a combination of factors including the high Australian dollar, the high cost of manufacturing and competition. "We did everything that we could to transform our business," Toyota Australia CEO Max Yasuda said in a statement. "But the reality is that there are too many factors beyond our control that make it unviable to build cars in Australia." Toyota President Akio Toyoda delivered the news to workers at the company's Altona plant near Melbourne, where he paid tribute to 50 years of Toyota cars being built in Australia. "To now have to deliver this news to the very people we have worked so hard with, to the many people who have supported our production for so many years, is most regretful for Toyota and, for me personally, simply heartbreaking," he said. Toyota, which has been manufacturing cars in Australia since 1963, currently makes the Camry, Camry Hybrid and Aurion in the country. It will become a sales company. Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane said Toyota had not asked the government for any financial assistance in the lead-up to its decision. The government had subsidized auto manufacturing, hoping to keep the industry alive as it supports tens of thousands of jobs in other areas including auto parts. Holden, which is the Australian arm of GM, received 1.8 billion Australian dollars ($1.6 billion) in federal government assistance in the past 11 years. Auto makers in Australia produced about 178,000 cars in 2012, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers.
