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.

GM, Audi, Jaguar halt Russian sales amidst ruble's collapse

Fri, Dec 19 2014

The value of Russia's ruble currency has sunk like a stone tossed in the Volga for much of the year, losing over 40 percent of its worth since June. The change is having bizarre effects on the auto industry there and leaving some automakers scrambling to adjust. According to Bloomberg, Russians are buying up luxury goods including automobiles at the moment to have a physical investment in case the ruble sinks further. However, with the money worth so little, the companies aren't making much from these transactions. Things are so dire that several automakers are temporarily ending deliveries until the situation stabilizes. According to Bloomberg, General Motors stopped sales on December 16 with no set date to start again. Audi did the same thing but with the intention to resume once it has adjusted model pricing. Jaguar Land Rover terminated business until December 19 to see how things changed. Toyota is increasing its pricing, as well, but keeping business open at the same time. Some automakers have subtly been reacting to the slumping Russian auto market all year. The moves have included Volkswagen cutting production by 30,000 units from its factory in Kaluga. Ford also got rid of 950 workers from two plants due to low demand. Some analysts have even speculated that the contracting industry and possibility of lower import duties into the country could cause companies to end their manufacturing in Russia completely.

Toyota engineer warns automous cars could increase fuel use, urban sprawl

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

An increasing number of people are starting to consider the potential downsides of a transition to autonomous cars. The FBI is already looking at them for the potential ill effects on law enforcement, and a scientist for Toyota is raising the possibility that driverless vehicles could actually be detrimental to the environment over the long term.
Ken Laberteaux, who studies future transportation for Toyota, thinks that autonomous cars could lead to more pollution, not less, says Bloomberg. However, Laberteaux's theory isn't so much based purely on science as it is considering behavioral and historical trends. "US history shows that anytime you make driving easier, there seems to be this inexhaustible desire to live further from things," said Laberteaux during a presentation at the Automated Vehicles Symposium in San Francisco, CA, cited by Bloomberg.
Laberteaux's belief is that if commuters can make their drives easier, then they will be more willing to live farther away from the cities where they work. The end result would be more urban sprawl and increased pollution from the longer travel times.

BMW, Toyota warn about Chinese market slowing down

Fri, Aug 7 2015

BMW and Toyota are the latest automakers to become concerned about the closing throttle on the once rapidly accelerating vehicle market in China. There might be drastic effects on their ledgers at the end of the year. With the Chinese stock market no longer looking so healthy, the people just aren't buying as many new cars as in the past. Things got really bad in June after the first drop in deliveries in two years. BMW has already reduced Chinese production by 16,000 units so far this year. Despite the slowdown, the company has kept a brave face. "We experience that volatility in all emerging markets," BMW CEO Harald Krueger said in a conference call, according to Automotive News. The problem for Toyota is a bit stranger. Through July, the automaker's Chinese deliveries were actually up 12 percent. However, the gain was offset by falling sales prices. "This is making our business in China quite difficult. The business environment is getting tougher," Toyota Managing Officer Tetsuya Otake said, Automotive News reported. Much of the weakness in China has come in the middle part of the year, and from January through June deliveries were still up 8.4 percent. This means the effects haven't hit the financial results of some automakers too hard quite yet. In the second quarter, General Motors referenced the "challenging conditions" there but still posted a growing net income of $1.1 billion. Despite falling global sales, Toyota managed record income for the quarter, too.
