Rugged, simple, reliable and fun. Add to that room to spare and you may have
the ultimate sport utility vehicle. As a
flagship model, the Land Cruiser always served to demonstrate Toyota’s
engineering and design talents. I think
they really nailed it with the FJ60-62 series.
Outdoor enthusiasts certainly admire this vehicle. It’s a timeless design, kind of like a Swiss
Army knife.
This vehicle has led a privileged life. Always garaged, always maintained at the Toyota dealership. As anyone who is a fan of the FJ series knows, they are prone to rust. That makes the originality and meticulous care of this one all the more cherished. Maintenance overall has been top shelf. The previous owner took care of some problem areas around the wheel wells and they have held up nicely. The color of this FJ62 is called Beige Metallic. This certainly was consistent with the Safari intentions of the original series. Appropriately, it is almost exactly the same color as dirt that dries after spending some time on a county access road. Pretty clever and suits the vehicle well! The inside is the tan and brown color combination. Overall, it is in excellent driver condition. The carpet, dash, rear panels all demonstrate the care this prized possession has received. Along with a warm cozy place to rest at night, the legendary inline 6 2F motor has sipped only the finest vintages. Lucas additives were used occasionally and the previous owner is not at all a fan of ethanol. Fortunately, we have some pure gas options in the area and he always sought them out. It’s been given the care necessary to demonstrate its tractor-like tenacity and durability. I have no doubt it will serve up many more miles of fun and adventure. All the photos
in this listing and quite a few more can be found at the following link – https://www.flickr.com/photos/105315473@N02/ This is the last model year for the highly regarded FJ60 series. Last model years like the Grand Wagoneer and the Mercedes SL series typically command the highest collector values. I guess only time will tell with this one, but it certainly stands as testament to Toyota’s much deserved legacy. The FJ62 is geared to be more accommodating at highway speeds and has a few other refinements that forecast the direction this flagship model would eventually go in the efforts to stay ahead of the pack. Fortunately, it did if from the same handsome sheet metal lines and with the same purposeful ruggedness. What other vehicle was designed to hit a rock at 60 mph without incident? Exactly, not many and probably none does it better. There are a few issues the new owner may want to take care of. The driver’s seat has a tear on the side in the vinyl section. The cloth insert in the same area is starting to separate. Both are because the foam is a showing its age. Aftermarket seat covers are readily available. The vinyl section could be easily replaced by an upholstery shop. So, you may just want to preserve the originals. The mud guard on the passenger front tire is gone. So too is the rocker panel trim piece. They were lost when backing out of a snow bank – a badge of honor earned the right way! These parts can be easily sourced at dealerships or online. The new owner will also want to put on a new set of tires, at least before next winter. These issues have been factored into the reserve price. Out of respect to all bidders and the auction process, I will not reveal the reserve price. It is set at a very reasonable price, well below the level at which she is likely to earn bids. Please bid the amount you are comfortable spending on the vehicle. I’ve tried to describe and capture through photos the vehicle in great detail. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call. My cell is (816) 786-7534. Load up your friends, family, some camping gear fishing poles or bikes and take this thing for another adventure. It is eager to accommodate! Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. |

2014 Toyota Corolla shows just enough to keep us interested
Tue, 21 May 2013To date, the best idea we have of what the 2014 Toyota Corolla will look like is the shape and styling of the Furia Concept from this year's Detroit Auto Show. Obviously the compact car will turn down the wick a fair bit from that orange machine, and now we have one more scintilla of an idea of what the final product will look like.
Published today on Toyota's official Facebook page, the image above clearly shows the rear quarter of the 2014 Corolla S. Though the low angle is pretty wonky, we can make out that the shape of the taillight cluster is very similar to that of the Furia, albeit without the same LED treatment, A hint of a trunk-lid spoiler is also in evidence, and also follows the Furia's lead.
Toyota points out that the new Corolla will be shown in earnest on June 6. Expect to see the full version of the car by that date at the latest - online leaks have a tendancy to speed these things up.
Toyota Recalling 516,000 Vehicles In Three Recalls
Thu, May 22 2014Toyota said Thursday it's recalling 516,000 vehicles worldwide - including 430,500 in the U.S. - for three separate safety problems, including brakes that can activate without warning. The company said it has no reports of accidents or injuries due to the defects. In all three cases, the company will alert owners and dealers will repair the issues for free. The largest recall, of 450,000 Sienna minivans from the 2004-2011 model years, targets vehicles sold in cold weather areas. Toyota said road salt can corrode the spare tire carrier under the vehicle and the tire can fall off. Siennas from the 2004-2010 model years were for the same issue in 2010, and a splash protector and anti-rust protection were applied. But the company says the splash protector can fall off and rust can still occur. The recall involves 370,000 minivans sold in the U.S., 80,000 in Canada and 400 in Europe. Also recalled Thursday were: - 16,000 Lexus GS 250 and 350 sedans from the 2013 model year because a manufacturing defect can cause the brakes to activate without warning, and without turning on the brake lights. Most of the vehicles - 10,500 - were sold in the U.S. Also included are left-hand-drive sedans sold in Canada, China and Europe. - 50,000 Highlander and Highlander hybrid SUVs from the 2014 model year. Toyota says a software glitch may prevent the vehicle from properly calculating the size of the front passenger when determining whether to fire the air bags. The affected vehicles assume the passenger is smaller, so the bags may not fire or they may fire at a lower speed than necessary for a larger passenger. Toyota says most of the affected vehicles - 45,287 - were sold in the U.S. Around 3,400 were sold in Canada and the rest were sold in Mexico and Europe.

Toyota Me.We concept is a multifunction Tupperware car [w/video]
Wed, 24 Apr 2013Not to be outdone by the Renault Twin'Z concept penned by Welsh designer Ross Lovegrove, Toyota has partnered up with French designer Jean-Marie Massaud to create the 2013 Toyota Me.We Concept. Unveiled at Le Rendez-vous Toyota in Paris, the Me.We Concept is an attempt to imagine a car that can be appreciated by owners across a wide variety of lifestyles while being courteous to the environment, too.
From a "Me" perspective, the concept is highly customizable with removable body panels, and even though it might look like just a small hatchback from the outside, Toyota claims it can also be used as a pickup (with an extendable rear panel), a convertible (with a neoprene roof panel) and even an off-road vehicle. As for the "We" part of the car, it's a fully electric vehicle with individual in-wheel motors and a battery pack mounted under the load floor. The concept has a weight of around 1,600 pounds kept low thanks to an aluminum chassis, but it also features renewable bamboo wood for the floor in addition to the fully recyclable polypropylene exterior body panels.
