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!

Ford tops GM in US vehicle sales in May, driven by fleets

Thu, Jun 1 2017

DETROIT - Ford, bolstered by heavy sales to fleet customers, surpassed General Motors in US new vehicle sales in May, according to figures reported Thursday. Ford said May sales rose 2.2 percent from a year ago to 241,126 units. GM sales dropped 1.3 percent to 237,364. GM said it had been trimming sales of heavily discounted vehicles to car rental companies. Such fleet sales made up about 19 percent of its total sales in May. Ford's fleet sales rose 8.4 percent, representing more than 34 percent of total sales. The industry average is around 20 percent. Analysts had expected mixed results for the industry, with sales likely propped up by heavy discounts. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said May sales dipped 0.9 percent to 193,040. Toyota's US sales dropped 0.5 percent to 218,248. Nissan said US sales in May rose 3.0 percent, to 137,471. After demand fell in March and April, analysts estimated May sales at just over 1.5 million. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of sales in May was estimated at 16.8 million to 16.9 million vehicles, about the same as April. A year earlier, sales stood at 17.55 million vehicles. Early reports indicated that sales over the three-day Memorial Day weekend were helped by heavy discounts. "While demand for new vehicles is still relatively strong, it's a bit of smoke and mirrors," said Jessica Caldwell, executive director of industry analysis at Edmunds, the car shopping website. Manufacturers and dealers "really pushed the deals over the holiday weekend to prop up their May numbers," she said. "Incentives were up sharply, and it seems automakers are putting more cash on the hood to nudge car shoppers to buy versus lease." General Motors dealers were offering discounts of up to $12,000 on the full-size Chevrolet Silverado pickup, while some dealer discounts on Ford Motor Co's F-series pickups were more than $10,000 on 2017 models and more than $14,000 on leftover 2016 models. The 2017 model year started eight months ago. Reporting by Paul LienertRelated Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Tesla now California's top automotive employer

Fri, 16 May 2014

Tesla has knocked off Toyota as the biggest auto employer in the state of California, employing over 6,000 people to the Japanese company's 5,300. That lead is only likely to grow, as the EV manufacturer prepares to add another 500 jobs by the end of the year, and as Toyota begins its relocation to its new North American headquarters in Texas. The news comes barely a week after the company announced a $50 million loss during the first quarter of 2014.
Tesla's statewide employment could be set to double, beyond even 6,500 people, if it follows through on rumors to construct its eagerly awaited gigafactory in the Golden State. The $5-billion venture could add another 6,500 employees, making Tesla not just the largest automotive employer in the state, but making it one of the largest employers in the state full stop.
The investment of Tesla and its founder (and real-life Tony Stark), Elon Musk, has been substantial. The company has added 3,000 employees in the state since 2013, reopening the Toyota and General Motors joint-venture factory that use to be known as NUMMI in 2009 and constructing a design studio in Los Angeles, all in addition to its Palo Alto headquarters.

Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.
