White Toyota Landcruiser 1989 Fj62 Blown Engine on 2040-cars

US $4,750.00
Year:1989 Mileage:208304 Color: of the car that are pictured
Location:

Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

As stated before, the engine of this truck is shot; it has a solid hole in the bottom of it from where a rod was thrown through it because of a bad installation job by Toyota Techs of Fort Mill, SC. :). Aside from this obvious problem the car is in excellent shape. The frame has minimal surface rust. The body also has no rust and the paint is in good condition, unlike many of these trucks. It has not been abused offroad as many of these cruisers have been and the front hubs click smoothly for 4wd. The car is mostly stock, but aftermarket installments include a new water pump, alternator, battery, radiator, (bad) engine, stereo, and old man emu shocks. Tires were bought within the last year, and the master cylinder was taken from another cruiser that was in perfect condition. There are a couple of minor dings on the exterior of the car that are pictured, and the interior is excellent as well. There is the infamous rip on the left side of the driver's seat leather and a small rip in the leather over the wheel well of the back right wheel. As far as I know, I am the third owner of this car and no owner has ever been a smoker, including me. More pictures are available on request. Paypal or cash will be accepted for payment. **On a side note, the drive train has been removed--it's a long story, but this was necessary to transport the truck to where I live from where it broke down. I will pay to put it back into place.**

The frame has minimal surface rust. The body also has no rust and the paint is in very good condition. It has not been abused offroad as many of these cruisers have been and the front hubs click smoothly for 4wd. The car is mostly stock, but aftermarket installments include a new water pump, alternator, battery, radiator, stereo, old man emu shocks and a used FJ62 engine with 125k miles that lasted 6k miles in this truck (did I already say Toyota Tech of Fort Mill, SC screwed us royally?). Tires were bought within the last year, and the master cylinder was taken from another cruiser that was in perfect condition. There are a couple of minor dings on the exterior of the car that are pictured, and the interior is excellent as well. There is the infamous rip on the left side of the driver's seat leather and a small rip in the leather over the wheel well of the back right wheel.  

Bottom line is that it is a solid investment for someone who will pay for or put a new engine in yourself.  The rest of the vehicle is in excellent shape.

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.

Scion xB death sentence uncertain, minor updates announced

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

The last time we discussed the Scion xB and xD, in April of this year, it was to announce a report that both models were being killed. The vice president of the brand had said, "We don't have plans for a direct xB or xD replacement," but no date was given for the termination. Turns out rumors of their deaths have been greatly exaggerated: as part of a Toyota press release that summarized feature and pricing changes for 2013, the Scion xB was included.
The 2013 hatchback (above) gets a new front bumper and lower fascia with LED lighting, and the rear end gets a black diffuser. Stingray Metallic and Elusive Blue Metallic exterior hues will disappear, Absolutely Red and Nautical Blue Metallic will take their places. Inside will be light bronze metallic and chrome accents, as well as new seat fabric and the availability of the BeSpoke Premium Audio. It increases in price by $500, the manual costing $16,800, the automatic $17,750.
The xD (inset) has been left off the list and the Scion website it still hawking the 2012 car. But 2013 xD pricing and new features were announced earlier this year, the MSRP rising by $125 to $16,500. New equipment and options includes smoked headlight covers, more airbags and a two-tone paint job.

Toyota, Lexus will offer low-cost automated braking system

Mon, Mar 30 2015

First, a technology gets better, then it gets a lot better, then it gets less expensive, then it gets a lot less expensive. Advanced driver safety and convenience systems are about to make that last step thanks to Toyota. Centered around a pre-collision braking system, there will be three suites of driver aids known as Toyota Safety Sense C (TSS C) for compact cars, Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS P) for midsized and premium cars, and Lexus Safety System+ (LSS+) for the luxury brand. TSS C pairs a camera with laser radar to provide a pre-collision system that prompts the driver to brake if it detects an impending accident, and can supply additional braking force and automatically brake between seven and fifty miles per hour. There are also Lane Departure Alert and Automatic High Beam. TSS P pairs a camera with more precise millimeter-wave radar. Starting with the three functions in TSS C, it adds pedestrian pre-collision capability and adaptive cruise control. This one will be available first, coming on the new RAV4 Hybrid and Avalon. TSS - either C or P - will expand to three more vehicles by the end of the year. The wallop is in the price: TSS C will be a $300 option, TSS P will cost $500. Compare the Ford Fusion SE, for instance - it's Driver Assistance Package comes with Lane Departure Warning, Automatic High Beams, it has Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot and Cross Traffic Detection that neither TSS has, but doesn't have any autonomous braking feature. It costs $1,200, but requires you to add the Technology and Luxury Packages for a total price of $3,165. If you want Autonomous Cruise Control, that's another $995, for $4,160 in total. Instead of $300 or $500 on the Toyota. Lexus' LSS+ will come first on the new RX then spread to four more models by the end of this year, and cost between $500 and $635 to add as an option. It also uses a camera and millimeter-wave radar for its vehicle and pedestrian pre-collision system, lane departure warning and lane keep assist, automatic high beam, and auto cruise control. The similar package on a BMW X5, with no pedestrian component, is $1,200. Toyota says both safety suites will eventually be on "nearly all" of it products and all trim levels by the end of 2017.
