1995 Toyota Land Cruiser Hdj81 Turbo Diesel 5-speed on 2040-cars
Arcadia, Florida, United States
The truck is finished in white (045) with color-coordinated wheel arches and gray body-side moldings. Additional features include a left-fender-mounted mirror, a power sunroof, and running boards, Land Cruiser-branded mud flaps, and IPF auxiliary lights mounted to an East Coast Bullbars-sourced front bumper and brush guard. Per the seller, the mirror caps, wheel arches, and door pulls were refinished to address fading and the wheel arch seals, fender markers, rubber flare gaskets, and turbo graphics were replaced.
Factory five-spoke 16″ wheels have been refinished and are equipped with 265/75 Yokohama Geolandar A/T tires fitted in preparation for the sale. A matching spare is mounted to a refinished swing-out rear carrier. The seller reports that service during current ownership includes rebuilding the front knuckles with Japanese-market bearings and seals, greasing the Zerk fittings, and replacing the shocks with stock replacements.
The right-hand-drive cabin features patterned cloth seats along with matching door panel treatments and color-coordinated interior trim. Amenities include automatic climate control, a ceiling-mounted altimeter and compass, and power accessories, while additions include an HKS boost gauge and an Alpine stereo linked to Nakamichi speakers.
Metric instrumentation framed by the three-spoke steering wheel consists of a 180-km/h speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit odometer shows 296k kilometers (~184k miles).
The rear cabin is equipped with third row seating equipped with safety belts and custom-made rear bench that folds flat into a bed.
The 4.2L 24-valve 1HD-FT turbo Diesel inline-six features a single overhead cam and direct injection. Power is sent to all four wheels through a five-speed manual transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and locking front, center, and rear differentials.

NHTSA investigating 561k Toyota Prius hybrids for possible steering shaft defect
Mon, 25 Feb 2013The Detroit News is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will investigate some 561,000 Toyota Prius models for potentially defective steering shafts. The affected hybrid models are from the 2004-2009 model years. The story indicates that NHTSA is weighing whether or not to grant a defect petition, which claims that Toyota incorrectly assembled the hatchback's steering linkage.
As of this writing, there is no recall. However, a recall based on the Prius steering shaft would be the third related to steering issues for the model since 2006. Seven years ago, Toyota recalled 170K Prius models for potential cracking of the intermediate shafts, and in November of 2012, the automaker recalled 670K units to replace the steering shaft extension assembly.
We'll be monitoring NHTSA's signals to see if this investigation turns into a full-fledged recall. For now, stay tuned.
Japan's government gives hydrogen vehicles a big boost
Tue, Jun 3 2014The Japanese government is really paving the way for hydrogen fuel cell technology on its roads. Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry is changing regulations on fuel tanks to make hydrogen cars more appealing to drivers, which should help put the country ahead of others in the race to develop a viable H2 fleet. Japan is raising the allowed pressure of hydrogen tanks from 700 atmospheres to 875, which has the effect of increasing driving range by 20 percent. This move puts the country in line with others with high-pressure fueling regulations. Japan is also in talks with the United Nations and the European Union to streamline inspection rules to make it easier to export Japan's fuel-cell vehicles. Toyota premiered its hydrogen-powered FCV Concept at the Tokyo Motor Show last year and plans to release a production version as early as next year. Honda also plans to build its own fuel-cell cars for 2015, and it debuted its FCEV Concept at last year's Los Angeles Auto Show. Nissan is sending mixed messages on hydrogen, both questioning the availability of a refueling infrastructure and working on developing the vehicles. In Japan, a relatively small country, increasing the range of fuel-cell vehicles makes creating a usable infrastructure a bit less daunting. Will hydrogen-fueled electric cars see the same sort of success as Toyota's Prius hybrid or battery-powered EVs? Only time will tell, but we can keep our fingers crossed that it will, and that the popularity spills over beyond Asia.

2014 Toyota Tundra Platinum 4x4
Wed, 26 Feb 2014The Toyota Tundra is the automotive version of off-brand Cheerios: it doesn't dominate the market, and it's not the first model people think of when they hear the term "pickup truck."
Ford, General Motors and Ram dominate the segment with vehicles that offer ridiculous levels of towing and payload capacities and models loaded with luxury items and primed with tech-rich engines. The off-brands, meanwhile, are led by the Tundra, which while still accounting for six-figure sales (112,732 units in 2013, up from 101,621 in 2012), sits well behind the F-150s and Silverados of the world. After our first drive of the revamped 2014 Tundra, we came away thinking this truck is a total underachiever, aimed at placating Toyota loyalists and doing little to win over new customers.
But everybody deserves a second chance, and we thought a week's drive in a different environment might lead to a different - or at least a more fully realized - opinion. While the Tundra might not be an industry leader, it still makes it on many truck buyers' shopping lists. So, should you consider this off-brand pickup truck? To find out, we borrowed a top-of-the-line Tundra Platinum for a week. Read on to see what we found.
