Toyota Land Cruiser on 2040-cars
Macon, Georgia, United States
The rarest of the rare medium wheelbase 40 series Land Cruisers. The only model with a forward facing rear bench seat. Being a 1981 BJ44V, this is the preferred late model cruiser with front discs, factory a/c, incredible L-Package (aka LX Package) cloth with vinyl interior, 4spd transmission, and the very rare cabin controlled factory PTO winch. Further L-Package compents are the white steel wheels, chrome grill and bumpers, and chrome license plate lights. This rig has spent 99% of it's life with the owner of a resort hotel on Lake Akan in Hokkaido Japan. The doors still have the pre-delivery plastic covering the door cards, the floors are covered in custom cut and stitched plastic and carpet on top of it. The factory matting is under that and the pristine floor below it. All seats have full seat covers that may or may not be Toyota items but they are definitely vintage. This is why this truck is in the amazing condition along with it's very limited use. We were advised it was used as a snow plow and likely ferried guests to some choice spots near the lake. Finding any 40 series Land Cruiser, be it a FJ40 or FJ45 etc..., in this amazing original condition is almost unheard of. Although production numbers are unknown, the BJ44V was only produced from 1980-1982 based the information available. The Freeborn red paint is in fantastic shape as is the 033 white on the roof. There are a few very small touch-ups mostly along the drip rail. The chassis has been painted in places but was applied as preventative protection rather than to cover up rust/corrosion. This vehicle is likely one the cleanest most original land cruisers left. The local Atlanta Land Cruiser specialists, ACC Toyota, made the same determination. Noting there are rubber flaps around the radiator and other components that are rarely found intact let alone in the "time warp" condition as on this truck. Actual VIN is BJ44004631 and is too short for eBay. Vehicle will be sold with the following documentation. Original manual with service records.

177k Toyota Camry Hybrids being recalled for brake issue
Mon, 11 Aug 2014It looks like Consumer Reports might be getting part of what it wants regarding the Toyota Camry Hybrid and its braking system. Toyota is issuing what it calls a limited service campaign, rather than a full recall, covering about 177,500 of the hybrid sedans from the 2007 through 2011 model years because of an issue with the cars' brake fluid reservoirs.
The models have a filter separating two chambers of the brake fluid reservoir, and the part can get clogged over time. If this happens, the fluid level in one of the chambers can get too low and eventually cause the power assist to fail. There are multiple warning lights on the dashboard that illuminate over time if the filter gets obstructed, though. The company is replacing the entire reservoir with an improved unit, and the fix takes about two hours to perform.
Consumer Reports recently began asking for a recall on these models for the potentially clogged filters. The magazine also reported a second issue with the ABS brake actuator that could lead to a difficult to depress brake, but Toyota has increased the warranty on the part to 10 years or 150,000 miles.
Toyota releases teaser for Kaley Cuoco Super Bowl ad
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Toyota has released a 35-second teaser video for its upcoming Super Bowl spot staring Kaley Cuoco, the actress best known for her role as object-of-nerd-affection Penny on The Big Bang Theory. The real star of the ad, however, is its soundtrack, the 1995 hit "I Wish" by rapper Skee-Lo that will have your mind cashing nostalgia checks the moment it hits your ears.
We still don't know much about the content, plot or story of this Super Bowl commercial, though we can say that its object of promotion is likely the new RAV4 we see Ms. Cuoco driving in this teaser. The rest of the time she's walking the street in a purple getup granting wishes like Robin Williams on a Disney sound stage. And then the Easter Bunny and a chihuahua enter the picture and we get lost. Clint Eastwood under a bridge this is not.
But hey, Super Bowl ads cost millions and millions of dollars to produce and air, so we trust that Toyota spent its money wisely and will have us ROFLing on game day. Until then, scroll down and witness for yourself the debut of Kaley Cuoco as a Toyota spokeswoman.
Toyota vows to fix poor Camry crash test result that irked Consumer Reports
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Many Toyota vehicles haven't been performing well in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) small overlap frontal crash test, and the Camry is one of them. The 2012 and 2013 Camry both received "Poor" ratings, IIHS' lowest rating, in the test, which spurred Consumer Reports to take the car off its "Recommended" list. In response to the low ratings in the small overlap frontal test, and in a bid to maintain its best-seller status, Toyota will make changes to the Camry to improve its IIHS safety rating and to enhance its design, The Detroit News reports.
The Camry performed well in the moderate overlap frontal, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats crash tests, receiving "Good" ratings, IIHS' highest rating, in all four tests. That was enough for IIHS to award it a Top Safety Pick rating, just not TSP+.
Bill Fay, head of Toyota's US division, reportedly says, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that."
