Hello Everyone. FIRST OF ALL THE VIN NUMBER FOR THIS CRUISER IS: BJ41013098. The engine is the Stock 2B Factory engine that was sold with this Land Cruiser in 1981. No adjustments or alterations have been made. This Diesel Cruiser is 100% bone stock from the Factory. The Cruiser is properly Registered and Titled in the State of California. Title is Clear. I have all Receipts of work that I have done to this beautiful BJ41. I am selling my 1981 BJ41 Diesel Toyota Land Cruiser. Just to let you know the COLOR CODE 202 / TOYOTA BLACK is 100% FACTORY for this cruiser and Extremely Rare. The Color Code is posted on the VIN PLATE on the firewall. Toyota never exported Black Land Cruisers. The BJ41 Diesel as you know was only sold in Japan, for the Japan market, and within that market Toyota only produced a handful of Factory Black Cruisers. This one is beautiful. I own another one as well ( Red ) and can tell you that ALL PARTS are available at any time from SPECTER OFF ROAD in Chatsworth, California. www.sor.com . You never have to worry about parts and please note that body, chassis, interior on this cruiser are exactly like the domestic LC's anyway so no worries there either. Just to be clear though,,,,,,,,,PARTS FOR TRANY, TRANSFER, BRAKES, ENGINE, RADIATOR, ALL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE WHEN NEEDED FROM WWW.SOR.COM in Chatsworth, California. The fact that this cruiser gets over 25 miles per gallon makes it a logical daily driver if that is what your looking for. Weekends also for extended mountain trips for camping since fuel mileage is so good. My other BJ is my daily driver. It is nice to be able to actually drive my other cruiser all the time without going broke. Gassers are great but the 2B DIESEL in this cruiser gets wonderful fuel mileage, is extremely rugged, go anywhere and will easily last 500k miles if you take care of it. The engine runs PERFECT. No issues at all with this cruiser. I have just replaced ALL FLUIDS ie: Brake, Radiator, Both front and rear Differentials, Oil, Oil Filter, Trany and Transfer Case Oil,,,,,,,,,All new fluids only have 20 miles on them. The cruiser also just had a Valve Adjustment, New Valve Cover Gasket, New Rear Brakes, New Master Cylinder, New SPECTER OFF ROAD CUSTOM SLIP COVERS, Brand New BFG All Terrain T/A 32 x 11.50 x 15 tires x 5 under Full Warranty, Newly Restored Stock Land Cruiser Steel Wheels ( just Powder Coated less then 20 miles ago ), Brand New Factory Hub Caps, New Headliner from Specter Off Road, New bulbs, Replaced Front Bumper, Recharged Air Conditioner Blows very cold, New Fuel Pump, New Paint touch up, Original Factory Seats were kept since they are so dang rare but covered with New Factory Fitted Gray Seat Slip Covers from Specter Off Road, New Shift Knob, New Brake Master Cylinder and A Brand New Interstate Battery also under full warranty. Please email if you have any questions. I have owned 22 Land Cruisers since 1974. I love my Cruisers and as a collector only buy the best cruisers as I look closely at them before I make a purchase. In my opinion you will be getting not only one the rarest Land Cruisers in the country due to its color code 202 but a Diesel Cruiser that will take you anywhere, anytime and in any terrain. I would drive this cruiser to Alaska and not worry about its performance. The cruiser has No Rust, Engine Runs Perfect and has been maintained by a qualified Diesel Land Cruiser Mechanic since I have owned it. The Transmission ( 4 speed ) and Transfer Case 4 x 4 are both in excellent running condition. The Cruiser does NOT Smoke, starts right up and idles perfectly. The brakes were just changed in the rear and a new Master Cylinder just put in. The Cruiser stops straight and is good to go anywhere. The undercarriage is in wonderful shape also. Solid, straight. Good AC, Good Heater, All systems work. I think I have set the Ebay Reserve fairly based on the condition of the cruiser since I have " Semi-Restored / Refreshed " it. All work has just been done. Less then 20 miles on all the work done. I am NOT giving this diesel away but am hoping to find it a good home, someone that will take good care of it and enjoy driving it both on the backroads and highways. It does NOT go fast so if your looking for speed do not buy this cruiser. It is very happy at around 65 to 70 miles per hour but that is about it. As far as backcountry, Off Road torque? Well, there is nothing better out there. These diesels Toyota Land Cruisers are simply the best in my opinion. They are tough and go forever. I know since I drive my other one full time. Any questions please let me know and I will post them for everyone to see. I will NOT post your email address or name, just your question. Thanks and good luck bidding. I have the name of a few good shipping companies that I have used if anyone needs them. From California where I am to East Coast is about $1000 for outside travel and about $1500 for inside travel transport. I will also post any new info if I think of anything. Please Note: MORE PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. I HAVE DETAILED PICS OF THE WHOLE CRUISER. Anyone who wants to check out the cruiser MUST send a qualified licensed Mobile Tech to my location. I am not able to take the cruiser anywhere. Right now it is covered and NOT being used. THANKS. GLOBALVU3NN3.

Lexus LX to get diesel engine?
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Australian consumers appear poised to get another diesel-burning luxury SUV in the near future, and word is it's coming from Lexus, of all automakers. Sean Hanley, chief executive of the company's branch in Oz, recently told Aussie website Drive that he's "pretty confident" that the new engine for the LX is getting the green light.
Like in the US, the LX in Australia is currently only offered with a 5.7-liter, gasoline-burning V8. However, sales of the big SUV are presently minuscule Down Under, with Drive reporting just 153 LX570s sold in all of Oz last year. Hanley is negotiating with Japan to get the new diesel in hopes of boosting flagging sales. If his efforts are successful, it would be the first diesel engine offered in a Lexus there. Hanley didn't specify exactly which mill the SUV would get. However, given the LX's close relationship with Toyota Land Cruiser, the diesel 4.5-liter twin-turbo V8 already available in the Toyota in markets outside of North America seems like a natural choice.
Don't expect the variant to be hopping across the Pacific, though. Lexus spokesperson Allison Takahashi tells Autoblog she has heard "nothing" about an oil-burning LX coming to the US. That's not a huge surprise, though, because neither Toyota nor Lexus offer any diesels in their lineups today. Also, Lexus has only sold 1,981 LX570s through June, which only placed it ahead of the LFA supercar in the brand's sales. It's probably just not worth certifying the engine for such a low-volume model.
J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
Toyota says you might have the 40-millionth Corolla ever built
Sat, 07 Sep 2013The guy who bought the 50-millionth Toyota in the US got a free Camry and RAV4, but whoever in the world bought the 40-millionth Corolla in August gets a hearty "thank you" from the Japanese automaker. On sale since 1966, the Corolla is the best-selling nameplate in the world by a goodly margin (more than the Volkswagen Beetle and Ford Model T combined). So while you'd think that vehicle number 40 million would be sitting in a museum somewhere, Toyota can't even say in which country this milestone Corolla was sold, let alone to which customer.
One reason that Toyota is unsure where this Corolla was sold is the fact that the Corolla name itself is more than just the compact sedan sold in the US. On our shores alone, sales of the Matrix are lumped in with the Corolla, but around the world, numerous vehicles wear the Corolla name or share its platform. Scroll down for Toyota's press release, and it has also put together a website celebrating 47 years and 40 million sales for the Corolla... and counting.
