You are bidding on a 1974 Toyota Landcruiser that was rebuilt. The body is all steel and replaced from the front cowl back with a new 3/4 body from Iron Pig Offroad. The only non-steel body items are the rear doors (Specter Off Road) and the transmission hump which are fiberglass. The wiring is complete new and uses weather tight connection at all points. The alternator is a 63A single wire from Summit. All underbody was finished with POR15 products and the interior is coated with spray urethane black bed liner. The engine is a rebuilt Chevy 350, bored 0.040 over, low compression pistons, remanufactured large valve heads, with a small Holley Truck avenger carb. The transmission, transfer case, rear differential, and front axles were complete rebuild. The vehicle has all new brakes, brake lines, cylinders, master cylinder, springs, seals, etc. All the parts used were genuine Toyota replacement parts except for the oversize V8 aluminum radiator package from Man-a-Fre, the soft top from Best Top, and a custom exhaust that runs above the skid plate. The cruiser comes with fabric half-doors and a set of full fabric doors. The engine to transmission adapter is from Marks in Australia which allows the transmission holes and shifters to stay in the stock Toyota positions. If you are looking for a show room finish on the paint, you'll need to do that yourself. I painted this myself and the paint has a few runs and finish issues. The good news is that body filler was only used in a few places (front fender attachments) that were first cut out and patched correctly with sheet metal. At the risk of repeating some items, I've listed below some of the items used in the rebuild:
- Chevy 350 (rebuilt with new pistons, bearings, HV oil pump, hi-torque cam, Chevy Black powder dress kit, Truck Avenger Carb, Ram Horn manifolds, HEI ignition, seals, Aluminum Radiator, etc.)
- Frame was degreased, blasted, and POR15 chassis black applied
- Front end rebuilt (tie rod ends, axle seals, trunion bearings, Pro Comp steering dampener, brakes, wheel cylinders, ss braided hoses, lock out hubs, etc.)
- Rear Axle rebuilt ( seals, bearings, brakes, wheel cylinders, Pro Comp shock all around, etc.)
- VDO gages (Electric speedo, oil, water temp, battery voltage)
- Wiring completely redone with ATC fuse box located in the glove box.
- New seat foam and covers from Specter Off road
- Pintle hook on rear bumper
- Winch ready front bumper
- Full Custom Roll Cage
A hardtop, rear door w/locking struts( and most new parts to repair), and repairable steel doors (no parts for these) will be included for sales price exceeding $10K. Otherwise they will be available for $500 to the bid winner if they are wanted. This vehicle is being offered as is where is. The Cruiser is offered for pick up or if you want to arrange for shipping from Zip Code 16856. There is no shipping included. The title is clear and the buyer is responsible for all title transfer fees and taxes as applicable.
I've include some pictures. If you have questions or need a specific picture, let me know and I'll respond. Good luck and happy bidding.

Toyota recalling 800k Camry, Avalon and Venza models for AC issue
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Toyota has announced plans to voluntarily recall 803,000 vehicles from model years 2012 and 2013, over concerns with the air conditioning condenser housing. The recall covers the Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid and Venza, although the exact split between affected models wasn't available.
According to Toyota, the condenser can leak onto an airbag control module, which in turn could cause a short circuit. In most cases, this will just lead to an airbag warning light, but in rarer instances, the airbags could fail to deploy or pop out of their own accord. There's also a concern over a loss of power steering if the airbag control module develops a short.
It's unclear if there have been any injuries or crashes relating to the defects. Toyota will begin informing owners of affected vehicles via first class mail, and will ask them to report to dealerships for recall work, involving the installation of a cover on the condenser housing.
Toyota sells six of 10 of hybrids in California
Wed, 31 Jul 2013In an apparent shot back at Ford's increasing market share of electrified vehicles and claim that it accepts more Prius trade-ins for its own hybrids than any other car, Toyota has flexed a muscle and played the numbers game to put the Blue Oval in its place.
Leaning on its hybrid market dominance in California, the Japanese automaker stated that six out of 10 hybrids sold in the Golden State are Toyota models. And it keeps coming: Year-to-date through May 2013, Toyota sold five times more hybrids than Ford. One of every two hybrids in California is a Prius model. In addition, Toyota notes that it has sold 1.5 million Prius vehicles in the US, 90-percent of which are still on the road today.
Want more? We'll let Bill Fay, Toyota's group vice president and general manager of sales lay the smack down:
Japanese dealer petitioning Lexus for luxury van [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Used to be that if you wanted a luxury automobile - especially one to be chauffeured around in - your choices were basically limited to a sedan. It could be bigger or smaller, more or less expensive, depending on your needs and budget, but it was always going to have four doors and a trunk. But these days the rich and famous are looking elsewhere for their commodious forms of pampering transportation. There are, of course, the crossovers and SUVs, which only seem to be getting bigger and more expensive thanks to the likes of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Range Rover L and upcoming Bentley sport-ute. But luxury vans are becoming the new big thing.
That's the point that one dealer in Japan is trying to make to Toyota. The dealership owner himself reasons that if he's going out on the town, he's likely to take his chauffeured Lexus LS. But if he's taking a few friends along, even the biggest sedan isn't going to cut it. So he takes a Toyota Alphard (pictured above, also known as the Vellfire), a JDM van that's even bigger than a Voxy/Noah or Sienna but hardly a high-end affair. That's why he's asking Lexus to make a luxury van.
The idea may seem a little far-fetched, but isn't without precedent. It didn't take much for Lexus to transform the Land Cruiser into the LX and thus create its first luxury SUV. And as Mercedes has shown with pimped-out versions of the Sprinter and now with the debut of the new V-Class in Geneva, there's clearly a market for it... in some countries, anyway. The only question in our minds is how long it's going to take other luxury automakers to catch on, because let's face it: the Chrysler Town & Country ain't gonna cut it for those used to be driven around in a Maybach.
