You are bidding on a fantastic 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser that I have owned for the last 8 years. I just finished restoring my 1989 Toyota FJ62 and unfortunately I cannot keep both Land Cruisers. I have two kids in daycare and a two car garage and just can't afford or justify keeping one of my cruisers permanently out of the garage. I hate to see her go but I'm sure someone else will enjoy it more than I am these days.

The truck is fully loaded on the interior with leather, sunroof, heated seats, heated mirrors, cruiser control, dual air bags and tinted windows. The cruiser does have third row seats so you have plenty of room for family and friends. I cleaned and conditioned the interior leather on a regular basis with Leatherique (great product even if you don't buy my cruiser). The leather does show some wear in places but check out the pictures to see how clean and well kept the interior is maintained. The carpet and carpet mats have not seen a single shoe print in 8 years due to front/rear Husky Liners. I believe you will agree the interior of the vehicle is in amazing shape. The truck has not been smoked in since I've owned it but there are two small burns in the carpet (one in the far rear cargo area and one near the front driver side carpet). Most people would not notice but just want to be up front about any possible issues with the truck. If I were keeping the truck I could certainly replace the radio since the stock CD/Tape player is finicky on whether or not it wants to play CDs (I know I'm showing my age due to the fact I even own CDs). I just replaced the stereo in my FJ62 and it's so much nicer with satellite, bluetooth, etc...can't believe I haven't replaced the stereo in this cruiser. While we are on the topic of the radio the automatic antenna doesn't automatically retract anymore but it just never bothered me enough to fix.

The exterior of this cruiser is in excellent shape as you can see by the pictures. I had the truck fully detailed at least once a year to keep both the exterior and interior in top shape. The cruiser is factory equipped with center and rear locking differentials for added traction off-road (this truck did not see off-road but it did come in handy during a few Dallas ice storms). This cruiser is equipped with a an OME lift, Slee differential drop kit and OME shocks up front. The previous owner did not install the OME rear coils to keep the stance of the cruiser level. I am including the brand-new coils and OME shocks in case the new owner would like to install the rear coils and shocks. You can read about the full lift kit at Slee Off Road and also research on the IH8MUD forum if you would like additional information on Land Cruisers (Ebay no longer allows links in descriptions but you can find both Slee and the forum with a quick Google search). In addition to the lift the cruiser has 18x9 ATS wheels with 325/60R18 Nitto Terra Grappler tires. The set of tires has ~20k miles on them but you can see by the pictures there is plenty of tread left. Due to the size of the tires If you have the wheels cut all the way either direction and hit a bump there is slight rubbing. My first set of Terra Grapplers lasted almost 50k but keep in mind I only put 8k miles per year on the cruiser with no long trips or offroad driving (I know it's a shame I haven used the cruiser for it's intended off road purpose). In 2008 when the vehicle was parked a neighbor backed into the rear quarter panel. The damage was promptly fixed through Toyota of Plano and I've had no issues at all with the work. Please view all of the pictures and let me know if you have any questions.

Other than replacing the oxygen sensors I have not had a single issue mechanically with this truck in 8 years. You will notice the truck is freshly detailed but I asked them not to clean anything in the engine compartment so you would see as-is condition. It's a little dusty in the engine compartment but no leaks or issues of any kind that I'm aware of. Below is a list of the major upgrades / maintenance performed on the truck:

8/9/05 - New 18X9 ATS Wheels and Nitto Terra Grappler 325/60R18 tires. New OME Suspension lift kit, Torsion bar set, Slee Differential drop, OME shocks
1/15/07 - New O2 sensor (Toyota of Plano)
1/24/09 - Repack front bearings, resurface rotors and replace brake pads (Toyota of Plano)
10/4/09 - Replace timing belt (Toyota of Plano)
3/29/10 - Replace starter (Toyota of Plano)
3/14/11 - New O2 sensor (Toyota of Plano)
9/15/11 - New Tires - Nitto Terra Grappler 325/60R18 (Discount Tire)
9/20/11 - New battery
Oil changes regularly from Toyota of Plano or Quick Kar

If you have any questions or would like to see any addition pictures of specific areas of the truck please let me know. I will try to accommodate local test drives or vehicle inspections to be arranged by the bidder. The vehicle is used and is offered with no warranty. The winning bidder must make a $500 deposit via Paypal within 48 hours of auction end. The buyer is responsible for shipping but I would be happy to meet a shipping company locally to coordinate drop off / pick up. Thanks and happy bidding!

Unifor may establish local union for Toyota's Canadian plants

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

Union tactics apparently translate across borders, as Canada's Unifor may take inspiration from the United Auto Workers' recent move at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, and establish a local for the Toyota factories in Cambridge and Woodstock.
Unifor last attempted to organize the workers at the two factories, which are responsible for production of the Toyota Corolla (above), RAV4 and Lexus RX back in April, but that vote was eventually delayed. According to that report, 3,000 of the two plants' 7,500 employees signed union cards, but that apparently wasn't enough for Unifor to force a vote.
Because of this, the union is looking at the local approach, like what the UAW is attempting with VW.

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
