Negative: Transmission is bad, needs a knuckle rebuild.

This is a 1988 Toyota Landcruiser FJ62.  The engine runs well.  The interior is in decent shape.  The seats are stained and the carpet has some stains but it is dark brown.  The rear carpet has already been replaced once and will need replacing again. The rear seat had a small bow to it.  It folds down properly and functions normal.  The driver side of this vehicle's body is in good shape.  The passenger side has some dents and dings along all of the panels.  I do not know what it takes for body work but I don't consider any of them to be major.  I have only driven this vehicle from where I bought it to my house.  It ran well but it needs a transmission.  I drove it home in first gear.  The previous owner said the trany ran out of fluid and he kept driving it until it was too late.  I have not tried topping it off or even changing it because I figured a buyer would like to look at the fluid.  I am selling this vehicle with an automatic transmission that I have pulled out of another cruiser that I own.  The second transmission works great and has about 200,000 miles on it.  I will install it for $1,000 on top of the sale price or just ship it with the vehicle and you get 2 transmissions.  This vehicle has a leak in the steering knuckle.  It will need a rebuild.  That is my assessment.  I have never done this procedure but it seems quite common with these cruisers.  Everything else is in good working condition.  the dash pad is not great but it's really hard to find one without cracks.  To sweeten this sale more I will include another 3fe engine that I pulled out of my other cruiser.  It had around 200,000 miles on it.  I believe this engine just needs a rebuild.  The compression for the second engine are cylinder 1-6 = 102, 104, 103, 109, 100, 105.  At the very least you get an additional 3fe set up for parts or to sell as you see fit. Buyer will pay shipping costs.  I am willing to work out a delivery strategy or any other crazy scheme somebody wants to concoct.  This cruiser will be a good starting point for a person that wants to have a project. It can easily be a very nice stock cruiser or get the full upgrade.  There is only one 2 inch portion of the passenger rear fender where I can see any rust that might need attention.  It has lived it's life in Nevada. I can answer any additional questions or would be happy to have a potential buyer come see it before final bid.

Toyota to end Australian production by 2017

Mon, 10 Feb 2014

There is more bad news for the Australian auto industry today, as Toyota has just announced that it will follow General Motors and Ford in shuttering its manufacturing operations on the continent. Production and assembly will cease by the end of 2017, but Toyota will remain in Australia as a sales and distribution company.
"We did everything that we could to transform our business, but the reality is that there are too many factors beyond our control that make it unviable to build cars in Australia," said Toyota Australia President and CEO Max Yasuda.
In an official statement, Yasuda said that the closure would directly affect 2,500 manufacturing employees and an unknown number of corporate workers. However, a report in the Australian newspaper The Age suggests that the jobs of 24,000 workers at Australian auto suppliers could also be in jeopardy. Toyota currently builds its Camry, Camry Hybrid, Aurion sedans in Australia, along with four-cylinder engines, and it plans to begin importing the Camry and Aurion after production stops.

Russians create Toyota Land Cruiser ice sculpture with full interior

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The Toyota Land Cruiser is a pretty hot model around the world. But it took the Russians to make it cool. We have few hard, cold facts and only small slivers of information about these photos, but it seems the icy Toyota was part of the International Snow & Ice Festival in Perm, Russia.
Artists took a huge chunk of ice and shaved it down to the temporary art installation you see here. The sub-zero SUV comes complete with a full interior accessed by the (permanently frozen open) driver's side door. The steering wheel and seats look to be upholstered in, well, dirt. With the back seats removed, the frigid four-door is a pretty slick ride in which to chill out.
Just a thought, but wouldn't a Toyota Tundra have been more appropriate? See the gallery for more photos.

Toyota FT-1 Concept presents a future we want to live in [w/videos]

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Toyota has brought its A game to the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, showing off the striking FT-1 Concept. Short for "Future Toyota," the FT-1 is, we're imagining, the supposed Supra Concept we reported on early in December.
Penned by the Calty Design Research team, the FT-1 draws inspirations from the FT-HS and the Lexus LF-LC concepts from 2007 and 2012, respectively. We certainly see a bit of Lexus LF-A in the design, while there's more than a hint of Formula One in the FT-1's pointed nose.
"Our team was heavily influenced by Toyota's sports car past, especially Celica and Supra, and we sought to capture some of that history. It is an aggressive, track-focused sports car concept with a presence that has been amplified for shock and awe," said Alex Shen, Calty's Studio Chief Designer.
