1997 Toyota Land Cruiser Full Time 4WD
Clean Title, Pink In Hand. This is your opportunity to have a nicer Land Cruiser than your friends.
Rare 40th Anniversary Edition
*Sorry no diff locks on this one*

Here's your chance to own an Iconic truck. This is the last year of this body style and they are very difficult to find in this good of condition. The body and interior are overall in very good condition, just a few minor dings/scratches here and there, see pics. Previous owner had this thing for 14 years and all owners have kept it in the garage since new, notice there's no paint fade like you usually see with these model Land Cruisers. To my knowledge there has only been three total owners of this vehicle.

This truck also has a fully boxed frame making it a very solid and safe vehicle. These things are built like tanks. Bullet proof engine and drive terrain, 1 ton axels front and rear (plenty strong enough to handle 35" tires. Famous straight six motor - this is one of the most reliable engines Toyota has EVER built. 300K+ miles is common place on these things, just ask any Land Cruiser enthusiast.

This truck even has the orignal tools, jack, socket set, etc. These are all very rare to find still with the truck, they usually end up in someones garage and never follow the truck.

Cruiser has a lot of new items:
- New BFG All Terrain Tires (top rated for snow) - $1200
- New Alternator
- New air filter hose
- Just had the oil changed, new oil filter, etc. I will smog for buyer
- New battery
- In total I've probably put in over $2000 into the truck in the last year and a half
 
Fully Loaded! Features Include:<br>
- Power everything: steering, windows, seats, door locks
- Sun roof
- Cruiser control
- Tilt wheel
- Tinted windows
- Hitch set up
- Dual  power seats
- A/C & heater work great
- Alloy wheels, with all of the center caps (those usually tend to go missing)
- Leather Interior, great condition for its age.
- Two tone leather that only came with the 40th Anniversary Edition
- Three row seating, 7 passenger
- Removable third row for extra storage
- Roof rack (stock)
- CD Changer & AM/FM Radio (stock)
- Automatic transmission
- Full Sized Spare
- Straight axle front end
- Does come with the original floor mats, they're just not in the pics.

There's only a few minor problems:
- Slight oil leak/consumption. I only have to add a quart a couple of times between oil changes, every 1500 miles or so.
- Power antenna button doesn't work. My mechanic told me it should be an easy fix, but it's not that big of a deal to me. All other power itmes work!
- Sometimes has a squeek in the steering collumn when turning (usually when its cold), I looked it up on forums, just needs to have some grease put on underneath the steering wheel somewhere.
- Driver side visor hangs a little low, doesn't bother me, but if your over 6' tall it might.
- Sometimes the rear passenger side door light comes on as if the door is open even thought it is closed
- That's about all I can think of, really is in great running/mechanical condition.

This truck will make a great daily driver, family car, weekend warrior, camping truck, ski/snow board rig, fishing & hunting truck, build your rock crawler, etc. Your wish is it's command! You will love this Land Cruiser. SOLID SOLID TRUCK. Message with any questions. Thanks for looking.

Toyota recalling 342k Tacomas due to faulty seatbelt pretensioners

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Toyota is voluntarily recalling 342,000 Tacoma Access Cab pickups, produced between 2004 and 2011. The wide-ranging recall is due to faults in the screws that attach the belt pre-tensioner to the belt retractor. There are concerns that the screws can loosen themselves over time, especially if the access door is opened and closed with too much force. It's important to note that the recall only covers the driver and front passenger seat, and is limited to just the Access Cab trucks. Other body styles aren't affected.
If the screws come loose, the pre-tensioner and retractor spring could separate from the belt entirely, which would be bad news in a crash. There's no mention of injuries or accidents due to the faulty pre-tensioners. Owners affected by the recall will be notified soon, and asked to come in for recall service.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.

Toyota expects hybrids will soon reach 20-percent sales volume globally

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

Hybrids have come quite a long way from their roots as dull, slow, boring ecomobiles. Today, Porsche sells three hybrid models, one of which is the amazing 918 Spyder. BMW will soon sell four, including a low-slung, two-seat sports car. Even Ferrari and McLaren, full-fledged hypercar manufacturers, are embracing the tech. And all of these cars are sold alongside the same sort of boring cars that popularized hybrids in the first place. According to Toyota Chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada, though, we should see an even bigger increase in the number of hybrid vehicles in the coming years.
"I foresee hybrid models pretty soon reaching 20 percent of global sales from about 13 percent to 14 percent now," Uchiyamada-san told Automotive News. Uchiyamada is the man behind the original Prius, which gives him some degree of authority on making predictions about hybrid adoption.
What's remarkable, though, is that the 20-percent figure doesn't include plug-in hybrids, just gas- and diesel-electric models. "Suppliers need higher volumes to slash costs of components specific to plug-in models, including batteries that should be bigger and more capable than the ones used in traditional hybrids," Uchiyamada told AN.
