Hello, my name is John Goubeaux and I am selling my 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser. I have owned this Cruiser for 13 years, purchasing it in December of the year 2000. It has served me well and has been a ton of fun but it is time to move on due to the circumstances of life. I hope she goes to a good home. I bought this truck in Buffalo New York and brought it back to Columbus Ohio as a play toy and creative project. Over the last 13 years I have poured much into this cruiser, both money and soul, developing it into what you see here today. I have only put 882 miles on this Cruiser over those last 13 years. While this Cruiser is not a show truck, with some time and passion, she is not far off.

About the truck: The Cruiser retains its original 4.2 liter straight 6 cylinder with a two barrel Rochester carburetor. Both the engine and carb were professionally rebuilt and the truck runs great. The 4 speed manual transmission shifts as it should. All gears work smoothly. The exhaust flows through a FlowMaster muffler and into custom split pipes. At idle, this truck has a mean "burble" and sounds even better rolling down the road. A "Highway 15" wiring harness and kit do the electrical duty with the fuse box stowed in the glove box. Ring-lit LED push buttons for the front and rear flood lights (rears connected, front are KC's that come with the truck but not mounted), and the high/low windshield wiper speed settings. I retained the pull knob for the marker/head lights (although the pull knob is new). There is even a 12 volt auxiliary plug in the dash for a cell phone/mp3 charger, etc. A modern rear view mirror with dual map lights was also fitted for night time convenience. New LED tail lights and side marker lights just look awesome at night, as do the new aftermarket front marker lights and housings (these are the high quality Japanese replacements). New starter, plugs, wires, rotor, etc. for smooth motoring. Four wheel disc brake conversion, braided steel brake lines with a brake force distributor for safely stopping the NEW 35 inch Goodyear Wrangler tires I just put on the truck (about 60 miles on them - except for the never used 5th spare that sits on the equally new baja tire rack. Power steering conversion as well with a heavy duty power steering cooler mounted in front of the new heavy double duty radiator. This Cruiser is NOT covered in diamond plate, rather it is an all aluminum body tub that rests from the firewall back; transmission hump, floorboards, etc. all aluminum. The metal up front is all original and rust free, professionally painted in 2011. The frame is also professionally custom made (made by Powell Racing) and runs aft of the front engine mounts, square tube, triple painted black, complete with drain slits. The rear bumper is actually part of the frame with a 2 inch receiver built into it as well. Not that you would want to hang the truck from a tree...but knowing that you could. The suspension is Rancho RS5000s paired with "Old Man EMU" brand: 6 inch lift off-road leaf springs. Hunsaker racing seats and RJ 5 point racing harnesses keep you safe and comfortable. Both seats also slide and recline. For tunes, I hooked up a simple yet effective Aiwa radio (AM/FM/CD/with a front 3.5mm input jack) to a pair of NEW Rockford Fosgate PUNCH aluminum wake-boarding speaker cans. The cans are two-way separates (mid-ranges/tweeters) and can handle plenty of power if you so desire to hook-up an amp capable of supplying them. They come with their weather zip-sacks as can be seen in some of the pictures. I recently finished-out some detail work on the Cruiser including blacked-out Land Cruiser badging on the front quarter panels and a Toyota badge on the rear right. I figured since I was selling her, she might as well take everything with her.

Also included are a set of soft half doors, a set of soft full doors, two bikini tops (one bikini is brand new) and the original full soft top. The original full top, although complete, is old and dingy and does not do the truck justice when fitted. The original rear view mirror, dash pads, original dash pull-switches, aftermarket license plate bracket, Land Cruiser books/manuals/bible, new hard door pins, the original front and rear heat radiators, vent/radiator housing, blower motor, etc. I removed the heater with the idea that an 8 inch sub-woofer would someday occupy that space. The blower motor and radiators are in fine working condition. I even have an all aluminum tail gate that closes off the rear of the truck when wanted or fitting the full top to the truck. All other miscellaneous parts I have will also been included - the only parts I can not find are the windshield wiper arm sleeves that were removed when the truck went to be painted. I have not missed them because the truck has never seen rain...or mud or been off-road for that matter. The pictures speak for themselves.

The Cruiser is located in London, Ohio (about 20 minutes west of Columbus). If close and serious enough, I welcome interested buyers to come and see her. I stand behind my truck as I do my reputation. Check my feedback and bid with complete confidence. Please write with any questions; if you are a serious buyer I will give you my phone number or give me yours with good times to call.

Watch this cement truck roll into Toyota minivan from driver's point of view

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

If you've been having an easy day and haven't received your daily dose of unmitigated terror, then this video is for you. Dr. Guan Zhu, a Texas A&M professor, caught the above view on his dashcam in College Station, TX, as a cement truck ran a red light, lost control and rolled into his Toyota Sienna minivan.
Although he received only minor injuries, Dr. Zhu says that he blacked out during the accident. The truck driver also avoided serious injuries, and the Sienna took the hit rather well too. Scroll down to watch the footage and report from KBTX. Hopefully, this is as close anyone else ever gets to a terrifying event of this nature.

2014 Toyota Corolla shows just enough to keep us interested

Tue, 21 May 2013

To date, the best idea we have of what the 2014 Toyota Corolla will look like is the shape and styling of the Furia Concept from this year's Detroit Auto Show. Obviously the compact car will turn down the wick a fair bit from that orange machine, and now we have one more scintilla of an idea of what the final product will look like.
Published today on Toyota's official Facebook page, the image above clearly shows the rear quarter of the 2014 Corolla S. Though the low angle is pretty wonky, we can make out that the shape of the taillight cluster is very similar to that of the Furia, albeit without the same LED treatment, A hint of a trunk-lid spoiler is also in evidence, and also follows the Furia's lead.
Toyota points out that the new Corolla will be shown in earnest on June 6. Expect to see the full version of the car by that date at the latest - online leaks have a tendancy to speed these things up.

West Coast labor dispute hampers Japanese automakers' US plants

Wed, Feb 18 2015

The ongoing labor dispute between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and port owners along the West Coast is starting to affect more Japanese automakers building vehicles in the US. The issue already forced Honda and Subaru to take the expensive option of airlifting some parts into the US weeks ago, and according to USA Today, Toyota and Nissan have begun doing so, as well. The choice hasn't been cheap, though, and Subaru's chief financial officer estimated that the decision cost around $60 million more per month than sending components by cargo ship. The effects continue to radiate, according to USA Today, and shortages of some models are possible. Honda is slowing production at its factories in Ohio, Indiana and Canada because the automaker doesn't have enough transmissions and electronics for some vehicles. Toyota already cut back on overtime at some factories. Nissan has only seen a small effect from the issue, though, because of its local suppliers. Dock workers and port owners have been negotiating on a new contract since last year, and the union has organized work slowdowns in response. According to USA Today, the automakers could move shipments to Canada or Mexico, but it would take longer for parts to arrive.
