1985 Toyota Fj60 Landcruiser Land Cruiser 4x4 4 Spd Manual 2f Fj62 Fj40 on 2040-cars
Chardon, Ohio, United States

Up for auction is my 1985 Toyota FJ60 Land Cruiser. Chances are if your looking at this you already know what awesome vehicles these can be. I purchased this mid summer wanting to restore it but I have since changed my mind to wanting a 80 Series Cruiser instead. This LC has had 2 previous owners and has been in Ohio its whole life. Fortunately when it was new the owner took it to Tuff-Kote Dinol and had the entire truck undercoated. This has kept the frame and undercarriage in good shape over the years. Dont get me wrong it does have rust but no bad scaling or broken frame pieces like you might expect for a Cruiser in Ohio. As you can see from pics the body has some rust and holes but nothing that couldn't be fixed. I lifted carpet and looked at usual trouble spots around wheel wells and this area is in very good shape. Inside back sill by tailgate is rust free as well.
This LC is not currently road ready. It has not run in a couple years at least. Previous owner said last time it ran was in 2008 or so. She couldnt really remember. I poured some gas down the carb a couple days ago and filled the float bowl so the sight window was full and then tonight I checked oil for any moisture and it was clean and moisture free so I put a battery in it and she fired right up. Got it to idle for a few seconds while my buddy poured gas into the carb. Motor sounded good and I think with a carb clean or possible rebuild it will be good to go. The gas tank was empty as well. I put a container of dry gas in it along with about 2 gallons of gas and the gauge went up slightly. I loosened the fuel inlet line at the carb and some gas did spray out so its getting to carb. I'd guess the float or needle is stuck from sitting. I havent dug into it any further yet. I did notice the choke cable is froze and will need replaced or lubed. It looks like all SMOG equipment is still installed too. You can tell by the shape of the interior that this LC has led a pretty easy life. All body mounting points and frame crossmembers are in good shape. Inner fenders etc etc are all solid. All windows roll down and all doors lock. The back door opens and locks as it should too. Both bumpers are in decent shape and the truck has a hitch and is wired for a plug too. When pushing in the clutch it has a good feel to it though I havent driven it yet. Looking around under the truck it appears to have newer brake lines and the fuel supply lines are in good shape as far as I can tell. I think this LC is a great candidate to save and fix the body and drive it for many years to come. The interior is in really nice shape. The carpet and seats have a few stains but with a good shampoo and vacuum they would be respectable as is. The headliners nice and tight too. All gauges appear to work and it has an aftermarket radio in it as well as an auxilary cigarette lighter outlet for a GPS or cell phone car charger. All heater functions work and the blowers work too. This LC has the rear heater in it too. All wipers work and the front washers work too. All lights and turn signals work as they should as well. This LC also has cruise control. Please checkout the pics and let me know if you have questions. I am looking to move this quickly so if you have an offer please dont be shy, worst I'll say is no. If you have an 80 series to trade let me know too. Let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them. I can work with you on shipping. I have included a USHIP link in this auction so you can get an estimated cost from them if the LC needs transported. I have for sale locally and I do reserve the right to end auction for local sale. Cash upon pickup is good or wire transfer or Paypal is good too. I can take credit cards too. Clean paper in hand. **This is being relisted due to a nonpaying buyer on the last auction. If you dont intend to pay then dont bid, its really pretty simple. Pls dont waste my time and I wont waste yours** Thank You for looking and good luck!

Toyota teases 2014 4Runner, will debut on April 27
Thu, 18 Apr 2013The 2014 Toyota 4Runner appears to be getting a styling refresh that is as out of the ordinary for Toyota as the venue at which it will be debuting. Launching on April 27 at the 2013 Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, CA, the 2014 4Runner looks to be getting more of an in-your-face design. Toyota says this marks the first time it has ever revealed a new product at a music festival.
While we only see two images of the updated 2014 4Runner, the new headlights break from the rectangular shape present on the current model for an edgy, scalloped shape. Below the headlights are vertical air inlets - looking quite similar to the 2014 Subaru Forester XT - but it isn't clear if all models will get these or just special trim levels. The other image Toyota released was of the smoked, LED taillight.
As the presenting sponsor of the music festival, Toyota will have legendary off-road driver Ivan "Ironman" Stewart at the show as well as an off-road driving course for people to drive the automaker's trucks and SUVs. Scroll down for a press release giving some additional information about both the 2014 4Runner and the Stagecoach Music Festival.
Construction of Lexus' first US assembly line underway
Thu, 09 Jan 2014The ES is Lexus' top-selling sedan, but the Japanese luxury marque has never manufactured it outside of Japan. In fact, Lexus has never made any cars in the United States, one of its largest markets worldwide. But that's about to change.
Yesterday, construction began in Georgetown, Kentucky, on the first Lexus assembly line in America, the first concrete (or steel) step in a $360-million expansion of Toyota's plant in the Bluegrass state that will create 750 new jobs. The expansion was announced last April by chief executive Akio Toyoda at the New York Auto Show.
Once the new assembly line gets online in the fall of next year, Toyota plans on building some 50,000 units of the ES each year. Lexus sold a record 72,581 examples of the ES in the United States last year - 30 percent more than the previous year - so Lexus will either have to import some more from overseas or leave some buyers disappointed.
Japanese automakers ramping production for renewed American sales
Wed, 21 Nov 2012The 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan took quite the toll on the automotive industry in that nation. Not content to lean on that tragedy as excuse for slagging sales, the Japanese automakers are planning on a major production expansion in North America. The aim is to reclaim the market share lost from the Tsunami-based dip, and overcome a dollar/yen exchange rate that makes exporting to America unprofitable.
Following the Tsunami, Japanese automakers ramped up production in their North American facilities to compensate, but according to Automotive News, Nissan, Honda and others have all reported plans for still-further increased production in the year ahead. As part of this ramp-up, Mazda will open a facility in Salamnca, Mexico before March of 2014. Part of that increase in output is 50,000 units of a Toyota-badged compact car, which Mazda will produce.
Other Mexican production facilities opening include a Honda plant, which will open in Spring 2014 in Celaya, and a Nissan plant, set to open later this year in Aguascalientes. Nissan also said that it will need another plant in North America within the next five years. According to Nissan Boss Carlos Ghosn, the company aims to raise its stake in the US market from 8 percent to 10, and adding production will help achieve that goal. Even Mitsubishi is aiming to boost production at its Normal, Illinois plant. Production of the Outlander Sport is currently at 50,000, which Mitsubishi wants to raise to 70,000.
