Selling my much loved BJ40 Landcruiser Diesel. Originally sold in Luxembourg Europe. (has heat, no air. also has power brakes)
Clean Arizona title in my name. Well maintained BJ40 with 57000 Kilometers on the clock. I assume this is correct looking at how tight the car feels on the road and how accurate it shifts into it's gears. Clutch feels like new. It drives tight and has always had it's yearly roadworthy inspection, first in Luxembourg and later in it's (mostly garaged) life in The Netherlands where I obtained her. These road tests are very strict, all rubber underneath the car such as fuel and brake hoses, boots and mounts must be in good condition to pass. There can be no play in joints, bearings and steering system.

The previous owner bought her to haul wood out of a forest and the occasional bay of hay for his horse. He did this a few times and then stored the BJ for about 7 years until he decided to sell it due to the changed road-tax laws in The Netherlands. (now this BJ is no longer tax exempt, as it's not 40 years old yet)

I have driven it all over with much pleasure, in Holland and in the USA. It cruises fine at speeds up to 60 MPH, even with the terrain tires. It will go faster, but I'd install different tires for that. Chevrolet wheels fit by the way. The wheels on it are the original wheels that can be taken apart to change the inner tube. (in case you're stuck in the Sahara with a flat tire by yourself)
The top comes off, I never did that though. It's quite the job, lots of bolts.
The engine runs very well and has plenty of power. Very torqy famous 4-cylinder Toyota diesel that gets around 27-28MpG all around. I measured by distance and fuel used, as the odometer is in Kilometers and a tad off because of the huge wheels. (when doing 110 on the clock, you're cruising 57 on the GPS)

4 wheel drive works flawless, and so does the immensely powerful winch that is driven by the engine. (on the transfer case)

Paint is of good driver quality. It shines up great but is not show quality. I get lots of compliments though. There are a few nickle sized dents in the hood.
I noticed a rust spot on the passenger wheel well and 2 quarter size spots under the driver seat. on the passenger door jamb is rust beginning to show. This is an older restoration so expect imperfections in the paint. There is also rust on the rear cargo doors, and I have bought two new doors that will be included in the sale. All in all, for a 37 year old landcruiser the body is in great shape, and so is the undercarriage.

Seats are not original but they are very comfortable Recaro seats. The radio does work but is not hooked up as it's a 24 volts system and I'm not sure how that works. All lights etc work, only the interior light above the driver seat doesn't. One of the 3 horn buttons on the steering wheel does not function.

Bid with confidence on this great fun cruiser. Ready for work or play or just to drive it for fun like I did. Be sure you can afford it prior to bidding!
This vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Non refundable deposit of $650. Zero or low feedback bidders please contact me prior to bidding. More foto's available upon request.

2015 Toyota Yaris to start at $14,845* and look like this

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Toyota released a new Yaris in Europe and its Vitz clone in Japan a few months ago, so we knew it would only be a matter of time before it would launch the new hatchback here in North America. And that time has come.
The new, more distinctive 2015 Yaris features far more aggressive exterior styling, a look set apart by that large lower air dam and X-motif front end. It rides on a retuned suspension hooked up to an altogether more rigid chassis, and Toyota promises it will ride more quietly and comfortably than the model it replaces. Inside the new model has additional soft-touch materials in a more comfortable cabin equipped with everything from a 6.1-inch touchscreen display to nine airbags.
The 2015 Yaris comes in both three- and five-door bodystyles, and three trim levels that seek to eliminate the need for options packages. In fact the only option to speak of is a dealer-installed nav system. Power comes from a modest 1.5-liter four with variable valve timing, dual overhead cams and sixteen valves, sending 106 horsepower and 103 pound-feet of torque through either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.

April Fools' Day brings Jeep Sedan, Hyundai N Roadster, Toyota Yaris pickup and more

Mon, Apr 1 2019

There is one day out of the year when public relations professionals have permission to lie to journalists and to the public: April Fools' Day. Manufacturers release details about wild, weird and wacky new technology, concept vehicles and services. Some take it to obvious outlandish extremes (Jeep Sedan anybody?), while others plot to mislead with products that are just outside the realm of possibility. Check out all the "jokes" below. BMW Motorrad BMW doesn't want to exclude anybody from experiencing the thrill of high-level racing, so it is introducing 'iRace" autonomous programming on its S 1000 RR sport bike. It includes beginner, sportsman, advanced and unlimited driving modes, and stores GPS information for all Superbike world championship tracks. Hyundai Hyundai is wrong for this. The Hyundai N Roadster is the work of South Korean designer Yeonjoon Park and features a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, rear-wheel drive and a hard convertible top. Hyundai says this is a "concept (for now)," but we think it'd make a seriously great Mazda Miata competitor. Honda Honda wins the award for the best interactive gimmick, as its press release for the '90s-inspired special-edition Pastport includes a live hotline number with a message from Fred Savage. Call 1-833-PASTPORT for more information. Jeep Put the Jeep Cherokee face on the Chrysler 300's body, and voila! The 2019 Jeep Sedan is born. We can't decide if the name or the rendering is better. Land Rover Accessibility to charging ports is of major concern to anybody with a plug-in vehicle. So, with the recent launch of the Range Rover P400e and Range Rover Sport P400e, Land Rover is putting forth an effort to install more stations around the globe. First up is Scotland's Isle of Skye. Adventurers need juice too! Lexus Australia Lexus expands its Encore service to include doggos. The new service, called Enpaw, will take pups to luxury boarding kennels in style. Toyota U.S. Toyota created the Yaris Adventure pickup for "those who want to tell their friends they own a truck but never veer off pavement." It's part Mazda 2, part RAV4, 100 percent ute and it looks ... great? Creating a new segment might be all fun and games to Toyota, but Ford is reportedly considering a Focus-based ute in a similar, albeit larger, style. Toyota Australia Toyota is launching a new HiAce van, and it's already getting a limited-edition variant called the PieAce.

Toyota casts off in Ponam-31 motor yacht [w/video]

Sun, 12 Oct 2014

Some Japanese automakers focus purely on cars, while others dabble in all sorts of motorized transportation. Honda, for example, makes everything from motorbikes to jet aircraft. But while Toyota may be known principally for automobiles, it also makes a line of boats. And this is the latest.
The new Toyota Ponam-31 motor yacht is built around an aluminum hull with a flybridge and cockpit rear deck layout, similar to the Carver 32 on which this writer spent his childhood summers. It measures 31 feet overall and is powered by a pair of 3.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engines derived from the Land Cruiser Prado (known in these parts as the Lexus GX 460) but marinized for nautical application. Toyota has even equipped its new Sports Utility Cruiser with such features as Drive Assist and a Virtual Anchor System.
Toyota expects to sell around 15 units of the Ponam-31 through its network of 49 dealers across Japan, with prices starting at 29,700,000 yen (about $27,500 at today's conversion rates). Scroll down below for a video, along with a press release, meant to show potential customers what's waiting for them.
