I am putting a recently finished daily driver 1967 Land Cruiser Factory Soft Top restoration up for auction. I am a Land Cruiser enthusiast and restorer in the DFW area. Just returned from Oklahoma on about a 400 mile road trip in the Ouachita mountains without a hiccup. I tried to use all OEM Toyota parts by using vintage part numbers. Some of the things I couldn't find OEM I used CCOT and Cruiser Corps. Also want to mention Classic Cruisers in Colorado for their advice and help with parts.

Original F 3.9 six cylinder engine runs smooth and strong

3 speed column shifts well without grinding

Original Drum brakes work well and you don't have to stomp on the brake pedal to stop

4x4 works perfect hi and low range

Warn locking hubs on the front end

All electrical has been redone; it has a new fuse block and all lighting is new

Upgraded suspension using new stock bushings, stock springs, HFS shackles and spring pins, Bilstein

5100s, and HFS steering dampener

5 freshly balanced and aligned bfg 31x10.50s on stock wheels with clips

Brand new Interstate battery and voltage regulator

Interior has been reupholstered in black marine vinyl; no worries about getting it wet

New dash cluster and gauges work great

Tan OCD Cordura Rip and Waterproof OEM Reproduction Soft Top

OEM Reproduction Soft Top Bow Kit

OEM Grommet and Fastener kit for soft top

Now a brief history about the cruiser...it's been a Texas vehicle it's whole life. I found it behind a Toyota mechanics business near DFW. His uncle bought it for a deer lease vehicle from the original owner in Austin in the early 80s. He took it to his deer lease and when I purchased it, it was only showing 29k miles on the cluster and hadnt been registered since '93. The way it runs and drives I wouldn't question low mileage but the speedometer stopped working many years ago so I figure it's close to 60k, as the new cluster shows. Very little rust before the restore, I only had to replaced the rear sil where mud was caked and left. All of the floor pans and rocker panels were in great shape before restore. My strategy was to give it a good sanding, priming, and matching the old paint, then go through it mechanically and source out parts I needed to replace.

The paint is a perfect match to the factory Seminole Red that was one of just a few factory color choices from '65-67. I do have a lot invested and the truck is super strong and mechanically sound--it's ready to go anywhere and I wouldn't hesitate driving it. I take pride in giving these classic Toyota 4x4s new life, and this one is my favorite so far. It really drives great down the highway around 60 mph and it turns heads wherever it goes. Please feel free to ask me any questions about the rig, and good luck with bidding!

2014 Toyota Aygo is so cross with itself

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

It almost made it, but images of the redesigned Toyota Aygo have leaked ahead of its official debut at tomorrow's Geneva Motor Show. The new Aygo sports an aggressive look overall with a, um, mark on its face.
That distinguishing design feature aside, we quite like the angular headlights and muscular overall look of this little city car. The gaping trapezoidal air intake make the Aygo look more substantial, while swollen rear wheel arches hint at something sportier than your standard commuter device.
Sportiness, though, isn't likely to be a big part of the Aygo. As it's built on the same platform as the Citroën C1 and Peugeot 108, we should expect the same pair of gas-powered engines, which means at best, the Toyota will come to market with 82 horsepower under hood.

This Irishman really likes the Toyota GT86

Sun, 10 Feb 2013

Okay, okay - by this point in time just liking the Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ, what have you) doesn't make you special. Even if you're a sort of funny sounding, funny looking Irishman, who probably isn't the most seasoned car reviewer ever, digging the GT86 is not news.
However, if, when you choose to publish your ten-minute-long review, you include exclamatory phrases about your own pubic hair, Ozzy Osborne's drug habit and "gentleman vegetable stuff," well sir, then you'll have our attention.
Don't give up on this video, available down below, after the first couple of minutes, we implore you. The silver-tongued Irishman doesn't really get warmed up until four minutes in, or so. Believe us, it's worth the wait.
