1988 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj62 Landcruiser - Rust Free Az Truck on 2040-cars
Year:1988
Mileage:252235
Location:
Coker, Alabama, United States
|
I am selling my 1988 FJ62. She has 252k miles and doesn't smoke or leak from the engine or transmission. Cold factory air. NO RUST due to living in Arizona a lot (per Carfax). I have been restoring her with Toyota parts as time and money allow.
There are a couple of dings and scratches and one dent in the passenger rear quarter (see photos). Original paint and interior. The paint is in very good condition 8.5/10 and the interior is 7/10 with typical wear and the driver's seat rip. The paint would be a 9 if the pinstripes weren't gone from the sun and some of the plastic "chrome" weren't flaking. The dash is extremely cracked (also due to living in Arizona) and has a carpet cover. New OEM front side marker lights and the alternator is brand new. The power windows and locks all work with these 2 exceptions: drivers rear doesn't unlock sometimes and the passenger rear window is slow and comes off track. I have cleaned and relubed the lock mechanisms and they jump up and down with a SNAP. The power steering pump/hose area appears to "seep" but there are no drips. There is a crack in the trim piece around the AC controls where the previous owner replaced the stereo with a CD player and wasn't careful (see pic). At least he did upgrade all of the speakers. The rear taillight lenses have a few cracks but work fine. All lights inside and out work 100%. The 4WD system works 100% and the the hubs lock and unlock freely. I don't think this truck has been wheeled much at all, based on the condition of the undercarriage (zero damage or signs of abuse) and lack of mud in cross members, frame rails and other hidden areas. It has honest wear for its age and probably 95% highway miles in my estimation. Feel free to contact me for more info or specific pictures or videos of cranking, running, etc. I will be glad to take pics of any specific areas of concern. The 2 load bars shown on top of the truck will be INCLUDED but the 4 small canoe holders will NOT be included. The truck has been neatly desmogged but I retained the pump and other parts removed. The cats are gone for good though. It has a K&N style intake (see pics). I want to reiterate that this truck has NONE of the common rust for FJ62s. Zero. Nada. Zilch. I even removed the rubber plugs from the tailgate (under carpet trim panel) and the inside is clean and dry with no signs of rot. The upper wheel wells are great, along with the leading edges of doors and inside the door jambs, etc. The undercoating is 95% intact in wheel wells and underside of pan. The only minimal rust I have found is some very minor surface rust on the leaf springs and axle housings (see photos). Overall this is an extremely rust-free truck with interior wear consistent with mileage. She cranks and drives fine and there are no leaks or surprises. I drive her on a weekly basis but I have too many vehicles and she deserves a good home. This truck is nice enough to be a daily driver and could easily be restored further, but would also make an excellent candidate for a trail or expedition rig, diesel swap, V8 conversion, etc. It is very SOLID but not so nice that you would feel bad modding it for your particular use. This is the truck to drive daily and slowly restore or turn into a expedition rig. You won't be wasting time and money on rust because there is none. Thanks and message me with any questions! |

Toyota GT86 convertible could debut in March
Tue, 27 Nov 2012The dates are lining up, now we wait to see how the badges align. Just before the Toyota GT 86/Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ line-up was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show last year, there was a report that Subaru was considering a convertible while Toyota wouldn't even comment on it. That got swapped around when earlier this year the chief engineer on Toyota's side said a convertible was coming, and then a Scion FR-S droptop was confirmed for early 2014.
Autocar now reports that the Toyota GT 86 convertible will make its first appearance at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in March. In a car whose specs like weight, packaging, horsepower and center of gravity were all tightly controlled to get the most from the least, the changes necessitated by chopping the roof could make this a very different car. It's said to employ a fabric roof to keep a "small" weight gain check, and the suspension will be softened to work more harmoniously with the decreased body stiffness. And somewhere in all that the back seat and trunk space will need to take a hit.
In other news, Autocar says the hi-po GT 86 with some kind of capacitor system instead of batteries is being worked on for 2015.
Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board
Wed, Apr 3 2019Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
Tesla pulling plug on Toyota RAV4 EV battery deal
Mon, 12 May 2014The future of the Toyota RAV4 EV appears to be in doubt. Tesla supplies the EVs battery packs, and it says that production ends later this year.
"Toyota is expected to end the current RAV4 EV model this year," Tesla said in its quarterly financial filing obtained by Bloomberg. "Our production activities under this program are expected to end in 2014," the company said.
This timeline fits closely with the original production plans for the RAV4 EV. When the $100-million project was first announced, Tesla said that it expected to supply battery packs for the vehicle from 2012 to 2014. Building components for the Japanese automaker continues to bring in money, though. In the company's Q1 2014 letter to shareholders, it said: "Automotive revenue included $15 million of Toyota powertrain sales." According to Bloomberg, Toyota has sold just 1,594 RAV4 EV models from 2012 through April 2014. Initially, the business had estimated that it would sell 2,600 units of the electrified crossover.
