Beautifully Restored 1986 Toyota Fj60 Land Cruiser on 2040-cars
|
" **** Awesome 1986 FJ 60 ***** Here is your chance to own an amazing Cruiser with a really cool history. This Cruiser was purchased by a retired Toyota manager along with 19 other FJ-60's and taken to Costa Rica where it was completely restored 5 years ago. 18 of the Cruisers were sold to folks living there, as they are an ideal vehicle for the place. This particular FJ was one of his 2 personal Cruisers (one for him and one for his wife) and was used regularly in Costa Rica for about year after being finished. Once a week, he would pick up the local veterinarian, and take him out through the country to service those that did not come to town. When they decided to move back home to Oregon, they were not ready to part with their personal FJ's, so they shipped them both back. For the past 3 years, they had been sitting side by side in his garage, only being driven on rare occasion. We went to look at one for sale, and ended up buying both of them as a package deal (My wife thought this one would be her daily driver, but she found out that she doesn't like driving a standard transmission in town every day. Deciding we really don't need two toy's, we have decided to part with this one before we too, become overly attached. As you will see from the photo's, the FJ is in fantastic condition both inside and out. As the restoration was done over the course of restoring several others, he didn't bother keeping detailed documents, but as mentioned, this was his personal FJ, so he didn't spare any expense on it. He did tell me that even buying parts for the projects in bulk, he figures he invested nearly 30k into the project. Top end of engine, and drivetrain were re-built, all springs and shocks were replaced with new, all body panels were taken apart, painted and put back together, interior was re-done with carpet, custom rubber mat in the back for cargo, and new Kenwood CD player with IPOD connection in glove box. All the chrome emblems, grill, lights, etc. were replaced. All window regulators were replaced and properly lubricated so the windows work great. Custom rear sliding windows were added. Custom tow hitch and wiring for trailer was installed. Custom ultra wheels and 33x12x15 BFG mud terrain tires were installed, and are still like brand new. Custom roof rack, and an ARB bull bumper with Warn 8000 LB winch was installed. The A/C system was converted to R-134A and we just had it re-freshed so it blows Ice Cold. All in all this is an amazing Cruiser that gets tons of looks and compliments. It looks beautiful from any distance, and would look great in any exhibition. It rides and drives great at 5 mph, or at 65 mph out on the hi-way. Everything works as it should and it is ready to be your every day driver, or your weekend warrior. I believe that someone is going to get a fantastic deal on this Cruiser. We are setting our reserve price at less than half of what has been invested just so we can use the money for our other project, a custom 1983 convertible FJ 60. " |

New drifting world record set in Toyota GT86
Wed, 30 Jul 2014We have entered a drifting arms race. Last year, BMW smashed the Guinness World Record for the longest drift by hanging the tail out for 51.3 miles around a wet skid pad in an M5 at the BMW Performance Driving School in South Carolina. That beat the previous milestone of nearly seven miles. Now, Bimmer's record is up in smoke as well and is in the possession of a Toyota.
German driver Harald Müller pummeled the old record to drift for 89.55 miles around a 0.15-mile (235.5-meter) course in Samsun, Turkey, in a Toyota GT86 (or Scion FR-S as it's known in the US). According to the Guinness World Records website, it took him 612 laps and 2 hours, 25 minutes and 18 seconds to manage the achievement. Sit back to watch a few minutes of the German's two and a half hours behind the wheel with the tail out.
2014 Toyota Highlander greets the world with NYC debut
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Toyota has pulled the wraps off its all-new, 2014 Highlander in New York this morning, giving Americans a first look at what is sure to be a heavyweight in the mid-size crossover segment.
The new third-generation Highlander will come with the buyer's choice of three different powertrain options. The base model will be powered by a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel-drive. Next up the ladder is a 3.5-liter V6, also mated to the 6AT, which can be had with either front-or all-wheel-drive. Finally, the Highlander Hybrid will be equipped with all-wheel drive, its 3.5-liter V6 mated to an electric motor, all hooked up to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The automaker has not released any specs for fuel economy or output yet, though we're promised increases in both power and efficiency.
While not a revolution in terms of styling, Toyota has cleaned up the bodywork for the new model, offering a crisp, conservative look for the slightly larger Highlander. The vehicle is some three inches longer and an inch-and-a-half wider than the outgoing model, yet it has a lower roofline. Black plastic-clad wheel arches make an attempt to butch up the crossover, though to our eyes, the Highlander still has the look of a minivan around the rear view.
