The Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series

I am a dealer of classic and collectible cars as well as a life-long 4x4 enthusiast. After meeting a Japanese vehicle exporter through a mutual friend, I became an importer of rare and unique 4x4's. I specialize in Toyota Land Cruisers and other Toyota 4x4's. I imported this rust-free, low-mileage BJ74 in December of last year. It is 100% legal to own and drive in all 50 states. Outside of the US, the Land Cruiser 70 series is a legendary vehicle platform well-known for offroad capability and unmatched reliability and durability. Now that these vehicles are past the 25-year-old limit, we can enjoy them here in the states.

eBay requires a 17-digit VIN in the listing, the actual VIN for this BJ74 is BJ740000955. It was produced for the Japanese Domestic Market and does not have a 17-digit VIN. The original VIN plate reading BJ740000955 is still fixed in the factory location on the engine firewall. The Missouri title and customs documentation all match this VIN.

Rust-Free, Original Condition

This BJ74 is a rust-free and well-maintained vehicle. The photos show the condition and tell the story. The body has a few small paint chips as might be expected from a 28-year old vehicle. Also, the paint is slightly faded on the upper fenders. The hood was repainted at some point, likely it was faded as well. The complete vehicle is in excellent condition. There is zero rust on the entire body. The interior is very clean, and the undercarriage is also very clean and unmolested. The mechanical condition is excellent as well. Everything on this BJ74 works. The gauges in the clinometer pod all function. The radio is an aftermarket 12 volt AM/FM/Cassette (Japanese band) powered by a 24v-12v converter mounted on the driver kick panel. This converter can also be used to power 12 volt accessories like a CB radio or other add-ons. The A/C system wasn't functioning, and I had it converted to R134a at a professional automotive Heat/AC service shop. The winch works properly, and comes with the original plug-in controller. Even the original toolkit and jack are included. This BJ74 arrived with aftermarket lift shackles that add about 2" to the suspension height of the vehicle.

This BJ74 is loaded with options including:

  • Power Windows
  • Power Locks
  • Power Brakes
  • Power Steering
  • Factory Electric Winch
  • Factory AC
  • Tilt Steering Column
  • Adjustable Suspension Seats
  • 4.11:1 Axle Ratio
  • Full-Float Rear Axle
  • Rear Limited Slip Differential

The 13B-T turbo-diesel engine works flawlessly, and you can expect to get 20-25 MPG during normal driving. The automatic transmission passed all service inspections, and shifts smoothly. The differentials and transfer case had clean fluid, free of any indication of problems. See the full list of everything inspected and serviced in the section below. This BJ74 is a great vehicle for driving around town or on the highway. The adjustable suspension seats make the ride very comfortable.

This BJ74 has only 96,582 original miles! That's 155,497 KMs.

Owning a Right-Hand-Drive Import

First, this is a 100% legal and documented import vehicle. I have copies of all the customs, EPA, DOT and import paperwork that go with the vehicle to the new owner. This BJ74 has been titled in Missouri, and can be legally titled and driven in all 50 states. Replacement parts and accessories are generally available to ensure a long life of service. Driving a right-hand-drive vehicle is not nearly as difficult as it might first appear. After a few minutes, any driver can become comfortable with driving "on the wrong side." The uniqueness of this setup starts conversations and turns heads everywhere you go.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.

Toyota TRD Pro lineup coming next week

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

A mysterious Toyota commercial recently popped up on YouTube teasing a new TRD Pro lineup for the Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner, and now we're getting our first official word straight from the automaker on the matter. Courtesy of its Facebook page, Toyota is promising that the TRD Pro models will be introduced on February 6th, ready to "conquer the great outdoors."
This date just so happens to mark the first day of the always-truck-friendly Chicago Auto Show, so while Toyota isn't saying as much, we're almost certain the trucks will show up next week in the Windy City. It's not clear what sort of upgrades TRD Pro brings, but it definitely includes black wheels and a tweaked front end featuring a thick, single-bar grille and bold lettering in place of the stylized Toyota logo (shown above on the Tundra).
Scroll down to see the video, and head over to Toyota's Facebook page to see a teaser image of the 4Runner TRD Pro.

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.
