OVERVIEW: You are bidding on an incredible 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser...I’m selling this for a friend who has one too many projects on his plate, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask I’m happy to pass them along. Here's his description:

I've owned this for less than a year, paid over the starting bid here and drove it literally less than a couple hundred miles. I bought this as an almost complete project rig but between the new house and the three kids I haven't made any progress on it and it's more painful to watch her sitting in the driveway than to imagine her happy on a trail somewhere with another owner. It's in great driving condition as is, ready for the trail or the highway!!! I've owned other vintage vehicles in the past but this has been by far and away my favorite, and I hate to see her go. I had never owned a Land Cruiser prior to this that could go over 75 mph comfortably on the highway but could also crawl so technically on the most difficult of trails. It has some rust on the rear of the body but as you can tell by the pictures but the driver and passenger floors are solid. She turns heads everywhere she goes - and catches the eye's of both the serious off roader and the collector alike. 

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION: Newly rebuilt Small Block Chevy 350 with only 2000 MILES ON IT!!!! Edelbrock Performer Intake Manifold. Edelbrock 650 CFM 4 barrel carb. New MSD cap/rotor/wires. HEI distributor. Headers (old school - outside frame rail). K&N Air Filter. SM420 Transmission WITH Stock Vacuum Actuated Transfer Case. Transmission is incredibly strong, geared perfectly for crawling and still allows me to pass anyone I like on the highway. 

STEERING & SUSPENSION: Power Steering - Saginaw steering box, GM Reservoir with new AGR Power Steering Pump, Welded Tabs/Bolts for Hydraulic Assist on Front Axle. 78' Axles Front/Rear (Front discs). New Rear Axle and Double Cardan rebuild. New Clutch Slave Cylinder. New Rear Drum Brake Pads. Spring over axle (SOA) conversion with the OEM Toyota springs and Rancho 9000's shocks all the way around! 

ELECTRICAL: New Auto Tech oil pressure and temperature gauges. OEM fuel and voltage/battery gauges work great. New headlights. The electrical system is solid but included is a new in box painless chassis wiring harness!!!!

TIRES & SAFETY:  Less than 500 miles on four 37 x 12.50 R 15 Interco IROKS RADIAL tires mounted on 12 x 15 WELD Roadhawks. Included is a newly installed METAL TECH FULL CAGE/CRADLE. Sitting in this rig feels like you're in an impenetrable fortress, I've never seen another cage as solid as this...simply incredible!!!

EXTRAS INCLUDED WITH THE AUCTION:
Original bench seats front/rear (completely redone!) were removed for the cage install but are included in the listing
2 Newer/Used Super Swamper SSRs for spares with one 8 x 15 aluminum spare wheel
New in box Painless chassis wiring harness
Bikini top
Door weatherstripping
Side view mirrors
Seat belts
OEM Toyota Lock with key
Newly installed window seals

THE BAD: 
Needs smaller pulley for accelerated EGR pump (more volume)
Needs bigger pulley to fully utilize power steering system
Needs shackle bushings
Needs possible master brake cylinder rebuild (starting to need a double-pump)
Parking brake will not engage (the handle is in tact in the cab but it either needs to be tightened or the linkage needs to be corrected)
Spring over axle conversion needs a little attention (mentioned to me by the previous owner but I haven't noticed any issues, additional shackles are included)
Rusted out lower rear corner panels BUT included are brand new polished diamond plate corner panels!
Rusted out tub below the tail gate (covered with black tape currently)
Rust on rear seal
No door keys
Speedometer is not connected
Windshield wipers aren't currently installed but motor and wiper blades are included with the auction 
Gas filler tube is in need of redirecting, since the addition of the METAL TECH CAGE
One wheel stud broken on each of the rear wheels

(please keep in mind that the truck is +40 years old and their may be other odds and ends that need adjustment...if you want to see something in more detail please ask for additional pictures, I want to make sure you know exactly what you're buying)

SHIPPING: I drove the truck this weekend and you can drive it anywhere in town without any issues (assuming it's not raining hard - no wipers remember, see above) BUT this should not be driven cross-country without the brake system being looked at, the wipers installed, and the gas filler hose being redirected and therefore I require that the winning bidder have the vehicle shipped if it's immediately going out of state. Please don't email me after the auction ends expecting to drive it across country tomorrow...the motor is strong as an ox but those other things need to be looked at before it gets driven hard. Vehicle must be picked up within ten days of the end of the auction. Shipping must be arranged by the buyer at a pickup location of my choice (a.k.a. near my house and not 90 miles away). If you are arranging shipping make sure the carrier will allow the spare tires, bench seats, and spare parts to be stored inside the truck (some carriers do not) otherwise you will be responsible for the crate charge and freight to get the additional items to you. 

PAYMENT: Please email me with questions BEFORE you start bidding. The winning bidder must pay a $500 deposit within 24 hours of the close of the auction and pay the balance when you pickup the vehicle with cash or a cashiers check. I am listing the truck locally as well and reserve the right to end the auction early at any time regardless of wether there are currently bids or not. Bid with confidence, I have had a 100% positive feedback rating for the last decade since I started using eBay!!!!

Toyota must go to trial over unintended acceleration suits

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

Toyota is surely readying its trial lawyers, as the Japanese giant is officially headed to court in a pair of cases relating to its unintended acceleration fiascos of 2009 and 2010.
In the first case, the United States Supreme Court has actually got involved in matters, ignoring an appeal from Toyota that attempted to use an arbitrator to settle its California lawsuits. The automaker will now go to trial to face owners of 2010 Prius models over an alleged defect with the anti-lock braking systems, which plaintiffs say made the cars more difficult to stop, according to Bloomberg.
The second trial is a bit more in depth, covering the case of Ida St. John, an 83-year-old from Georgia, that crashed her 2005 Camry in 2009. The accident is believed to have played a part in her death, although the suit, being filed by her grandson, doesn't actually place blame on Toyota for her death.

Toyota FV2 Concept is a single-seat mood ring for the road

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Of all the vehicles Toyota brought to the Tokyo Motor Show, the FV2 might be the most creative. The minimalist single-seat concept is a glimpse at Toyota's idea of a "fun to drive" vehicle in the future.
The FV2 is essentially a pod with a diamond-shaped wheel array (what powers said wheels has not been disclosed), and Toyota says that the technology of the vehicle allows it to gauge the driver's mood and suggest possible destinations. The interaction between driver and vehicle is also displayed in an augmented reality screen on the windshield, and the car can also act as a mood ring of sorts with exterior colors and patterns that can change based on the driver's mood. We can just see it now: "Don't mess with Jim today, his car is red."
Scroll down for a brief press release on the FV2.
