 I bought this FJC new in April 2008, drove it off the lot with five miles on it.  It has been nothing short of excellent, but I've purchased another vehicle and it's time for it to go.  It has 93000 mostly highway miles.  I have done all the maintenance and work on it myself.  The tires are BFG All terrain 235-85/16 with about 60% tread left (they were installed at 69,200 miles).  The brakes, clutch, transmission are all excellent, I've never had any sort of mechanical problem with it the entire time I've owned it.  It has the factory All terrain package which includes a roof rack and 16" wheels.  I removed the rack to make it easier to load/unload my canoe but it is included with the sale.  We can bolt it back on when you pick it up if you like.

The good:

  • Stock Front bumper (included) was swapped for a steel tube bumper made by Toy Outfitters
  • Stock skidplates replaced with a full 5 piece set of Bud Built skids. 
  • I upgraded the front struts/springs to OME 885s to compensate for the weight of the bumper and skids.  With the stock rear suspension, it rides level.
  • It has a factory installed class III towing package.  I upgraded the vehicle side trailer plug to accept a 7 pin RV plug and added a trailer brake controller.
  • It has a CB radio with a "Bandi" antenna mount.
  • Headrests for the rear seat are not in the pics, they are included.

The bad:

  • There is a dent in each of the rear bumper extensions (the gray pieces at the end).  They would pop out with a little heat from a heat gun.
  • The CB antenna mount and the front bumper could use a coat of paint.
  • Obviously it has some body damage on the passenger side.  I had a tangle with a deer a while back which managed to dent or scratch basically every panel on the passenger side.  None of the damage is major, but a body shop quoted me around $2000 for the repair.  That's why I have the buy it now and reserve set very low ($8-10k below NADA average retail value).  I've tried to show the damage in the pictures, please look carefully.
  • There are a few scratches and blemishes inside and out from honest use.  This is a *used* 4x4, don't expect perfect

I've described it as accurately as I can.  If you have any questions just ask.  You are welcome to come take a look at it and take it for a drive.  The plates, insurance, and sticker are current.

Toyota is world's top-selling automaker for second year in a row

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

Toyota is the top-selling automaker in the world. Again. Still. With total reported sales, including those from subsidiaries, of 9.98 million in 2013, Toyota's performance was enough to outpace rival General Motors by around 270,000 vehicles. That's a 2.4-percent gain over 2012, and it makes Toyota the top-seller two years in a row. Still, the gap between the top three is shrinking - Toyota held a 460,000-unit lead in 2012.
GM sold 9.71 million vehicles last year, a four-percent increase, coming in second place ahead of Volkswagen, which sold around 9.5 million. According to Bloomberg, Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda said his company managed to win the sales race while also remaining more profitable than GM or VW.
It's going to be another interesting year in 2014 as the three behemoth automakers vie for the title of World's Largest. Toyota has predicted that it will increase sales in 2014 to 10.32 million - which would make Toyota the first automaker ever to surpass 10 million global sales - though General Motors and VW are expected to again fight for the lead in the massive Chinese market. Stay tuned.

Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R zips in on its way to Frankfurt

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Toyota has been known to make some exciting cars over the years, but its hybrids, well... let's just say a Prius appeals to a different kind of buyer. The TS030 Hybrid LMP1, on the other hand, now that's more our speed. And at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week, the Japanese industrial giant will bridge the gap with the concept car you see here. Previewed in bits and pieces along the way, Toyota has now revealed the full details and array of photos of its new Yaris Hybrid-R concept. And what the full picture reveals is a Prius C that's gone to the gym - or more appropriately, the track.
Powering this little pocket rocket is TMG's Global Racing Engine: a 1.6-liter inline-four with direct injection and a Garett turbocharger to drive 300 horsepower to the front wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox. A pair of electric motors provide an extra 60 hp to each of the rear wheels for a combined output of 420 hp and through-the-road all-wheel drive. A third 60hp electric motor serves as traction control under acceleration and acts as a generator under braking to feed the TS030-derived super capacitor that boasts a higher power density and faster charge/discharge speed than a traditional battery. The system can provide a 40-horse boost for ten seconds in Road mode, or the full 120hp for five seconds in Track mode.
Though based on the three-door Yaris, there'd be no mistaking this for any ordinary econo-hatch. 18-inch TRD alloys with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires pack the wheel wells and a wider grille dominates the front fascia, while black and blue trim contrast sharply with the white bodywork. The rear pillar incorporates a quick-fill competition-spec fuel cap, LED daytime running lights illuminate the way and oversized brakes keep it all under control. The interior boasts Recaro racing buckets in black leather and blue Alcantara. There's more to digest in the press release below, but the bottom line is that if this is where Toyota is taking its hybrids, we want to climb into the driver's seat, and we're looking forward to seeing the concept in the flesh next week.

Toyota hangs on to title of world's largest automaker for first half of 2013

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

General Motors and Ford can have all the success they please, but it doesn't seem like America's two largest manufacturers are going to topple Toyota in the first half of 2013. According to Reuters, Toyota moved 4.91 million vehicles in the first six months of 2013, representing a 1.1-percent drop from the same period in 2012.
GM is on the rise, though, with a four-percent increase in global sales, to 4.85 million. Volkswagen, still sitting in third, saw a 5.5-percent jump to 4.7 million vehicles in the first half of 2013.
If this pace continues for Toyota, it'll finish 2013 in the top sales spot for the second year in a row. The manufacturer fell to third, behind GM and VW, in 2011 after earthquakes and tsunamis ravaged its production capacity.
