1979 Toyota Land Cruiser
This truck is in fairly good condition considering it basically has had no work done to it since I have been the owner. The previous owner added some after market stuff but for the most part, the truck is original. This truck starts and runs extremely well, that is the one thing I love most about it. I used it as a daily driver for a few years and have even taken it on a couple road trips on the highway. There is no significant damage to the truck. No major leaks (one small oil pan leak), no cracks, no burnt oil, no 4WD problems, and no cause for concern while driving at highway speeds (it only has 4 gears, so highway speed is 90-100kmph or 55-62mph).
The one major thing this truck needs is some body work on the rust. There are a few patches along the sides, doors, and fenders. The worst spots are small areas of the driver/passenger floors and the back of the truck near the bumper. The tub also has slight rust damage. The frame itself has no significant rust damage other than some surface stuff, a sanding + undercoating would do wonders. Again, I have tonnes of photos which will give a better idea of the rust which I can link on request.
- Original engine, rebuilt by previous owner (I am unaware of what the rebuild entailed). The miles where most likely rolled back when this was done.
- Clutch was replaced 2 years ago but has only been driven a few times since. The clutch feels very good.
- New thermostat and thermostat housing (old one ceased shut).
- New battery.
- No major work done to the truck other than the clutch replacement.
After market (these things were added by the previous owner and not myself):
- Added to roll bar (easy to remove).
- 3700 Warn winch mounted to front (probably wont be pulling too much but always better to have than not).
- Front bumper and rear bumper altered.
- Stereo system with speakers and CD player, supports auxiliary audio cables.
- 2 auxiliary switches added beside the front vent (probably were going to be used for after market lights at some point).
- Center locking console.
- Tires and suspension.
I would be happy to answer any question or provide any additional photos, so feel free to send a message. Cheers!

Toyota C-HR Concept is a high-riding hybrid hatch [w/video]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Despite having the tendency to offer decidedly bland production cars, Toyota occasionally surprises us with interesting concept cars. Such is the case with the C-HR concept making its debut at the Paris Motor Show this week. It's a concept showing forward-thinking design that hints at "a type of crossover vehicle Toyota would like to bring to market," according to the automaker's release, and it rides on an all-new platform and uses a hybrid powertrain.
About that powertrain: Toyota isn't revealing anything, just saying that it will - brace yourselves - "deliver significantly improved fuel efficiency" (over what, exactly?) The car also uses a brand-new architecture, though it hasn't really revealed any major details about that aspect, either.
It's a high-riding, muscular thing, with a rakish hatchback shape. Should it reach production, Toyota says it would take the shape of a C-segment crossover. It'd be cool to see something like this hit the road someday, but for now, we won't hold our breath.
Toyota hits 10 million Camry models sold in US
Tue, 02 Jul 2013This year marks 30 years of sales for the Toyota Camry in the US, and in that time, it has amassed more than 10 million sales. In its first year on the market, the Camry sold 52,651 units, but it has gone on to become the best-selling car in the US for the last 11 years.
Toyota says that "virtually all" current Camry models sold in the US are made here, and three-quarters of all Camry contents are domestically sourced. Scroll down for the official press release from Toyota, and be sure to check out our gallery of images showing every model year and bodystyle of the Camry since it first went on sale in 1983.
Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated
Mon, 02 Dec 2013Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
