 Toyota BJ40 Import VIN BJ40-010077

This is a foreign import Land Cruiser. I am an importer, bonded and registered with US Customs. I imported this Land Cruiser along with a Land Rover Defender. I have all import documents to validate the import and clear title on the vehicle. We did a full restoration on the Land Rover and now due to my flight school schedule I don't feel I have the time or money to do the Land Cruiser proper. This vehicle is a clean daily driver, rust free, documented desert climate vehicle from day 1. It runs well with 186K miles on a diesel BJ 4 cylinder engine, its really just broken in, not high miles considering it is a diesel. Its strong, gasket tight and ready to drive and enjoy.

My opinion is to media blast and repaint in the same classic color scheme. Media blasting is not a necessity but in my experience when a mediocre paint job is put over the original, it is best to media blast and start fresh.We have a facility we use who specialize in media blasting classic cars , then priming with epoxy sealer. We would be willing to facilitate this on request.

If you are looking for an original Land Cruiser classic ready to drive and enjoy this is a great Toyota for it. If you are looking to restore a classic Land Cruiser which will command 35K plus this is a great Land Cruiser to work from. It's already a solid vehicle with a little TLC it can be the Land Cruiser envy.

As I mentioned before I am in flight school under an intensive schedule which is time consuming and also very costly so I would be better to sell this one and help pay my expenses.

The vehicle has been mechanically maintained. Recently it has received a new water pump. New thermostat and housing. New break master cylinder.

I have tried to photo the best I can to show the vehicle condition. If you know what you're looking at then most of the photos will make sense. If I didn't get the shot you're looking for then message me and I will send you the photo angle you desire.I have a lot of additional photos I can email.

There is no rust on the frame or under carriage and many of the additional photos I have show that.

New Tires will be necessary.

All questions welcome. We are just outside Pensacola FL and you are welcome to view the vehicle or send someone on your behalf.

We have had some local interest so we reserve the right to cancel the listing at anytime, however I aim to honor the auction process.

If you want to speak in person message me and I will give you a contact number.

Thank you for your interest.

Toyota recalling 1.9M Prius models globally for software update

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

Toyota has announced a set of voluntary recalls covering 960,000 Prius, RAV4, Tacoma and Lexus RX350 models in the United States to address two separate issues. Worldwide, Toyota will have to recall a total of 1.9 million Prius cars.
The Prius recall affects about 700,000 2010-2014 models in the US, due to a fault in the motor/generator control ECU and hybrid control ECU software. It says that the current software could result in high temperatures on certain transistors and possibly damage them. When it fails, the error forces the car into failsafe mode. Toyota says that in rare circumstances, it could even shut the hybrid system down while the car is being driven.
Toyota spokeswoman Shino Yamada told Automotive News that the software update should take about 40 minutes, and dealers would start to be notified about affected vehicles today. She also told them that the first reported glitch occurred in May 2011 in the US when the system overheated and the car entered failsafe mode. The affected cars were built between March 2009 and Feb. 5, 2014, according to Automotive News. Toyota says that it has received no reports of accidents or injuries caused by either fault.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014



Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.

2014 Toyota Tundra appears with revised styling, same mechanicals

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Toyota has pulled the curtain back on its 2014 Tundra, showing a truck that has gotten its most significant refresh since its launch as a 2007 model. For better or worse, however, the changes that Toyota has made to the fullsize pickup are mostly cosmetic, with the underpinnings of the vehicle staying unchanged.
The most obvious revision for 2014 is to the bluff front fascia of the truck. There's a new, taller squared-off grille decorating the Tundra's nose, along with a revised, three-part front bumper design. The optional black grille-frame strikes us as an acquired taste, to say the least, but other models, like the Limited above, is all clad in chrome. Fenders and wheel wells are more square than in the out-going truck, too. Perhaps most significant is the revised bed design, which Toyota calls "all-new," with new sheet metal on the sides, a revised tailgate and a very subtle integrated spoiler.
Inside, Toyota has given buyers some new seats and a new-look instrument panel. A backup camera (always handy on big trucks) is now standard equipment on all grades, as is Bluetooth connectivity. Blind spot monitoring is a new, optional feature as well. In all, as with the exterior mods, the changes in-cabin are far more evolutionary than revolutionary.
