The Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series

I am a dealer of classic and collectible cars as well as a life-long 4x4 enthusiast. After meeting a Japanese vehicle exporter through a mutual friend, I became an importer of rare and unique 4x4's. I specialize in Toyota Land Cruisers and other Toyota 4x4's. I imported this rust-free, low-mileage BJ74 in December of last year. It is 100% legal to own and drive in all 50 states. Outside of the US, the Land Cruiser 70 series is a legendary vehicle platform well-known for offroad capability and unmatched reliability and durability. Now that these vehicles are past the 25-year-old limit, we can enjoy them here in the states.

eBay requires a 17-digit VIN in the listing, the actual VIN for this BJ74 is BJ740000955. It was produced for the Japanese Domestic Market and does not have a 17-digit VIN. The original VIN plate reading BJ740000955 is still fixed in the factory location on the engine firewall. The Missouri title and customs documentation all match this VIN.

Rust-Free, Original Condition

This BJ74 is a rust-free and well-maintained vehicle. The photos show the condition and tell the story. The body has a few small paint chips as might be expected from a 28-year old vehicle. Also, the paint is slightly faded on the upper fenders. The hood was repainted at some point, likely it was faded as well. The complete vehicle is in excellent condition. There is zero rust on the entire body. The interior is very clean, and the undercarriage is also very clean and unmolested. The mechanical condition is excellent as well. Everything on this BJ74 works. The gauges in the clinometer pod all function. The radio is an aftermarket 12 volt AM/FM/Cassette (Japanese band) powered by a 24v-12v converter mounted on the driver kick panel. This converter can also be used to power 12 volt accessories like a CB radio or other add-ons. The A/C system wasn't functioning, and I had it converted to R134a at a professional automotive Heat/AC service shop. The winch works properly, and comes with the original plug-in controller. Even the original toolkit and jack are included. This BJ74 arrived with aftermarket lift shackles that add about 2" to the suspension height of the vehicle.

This BJ74 is loaded with options including:

  • Power Windows
  • Power Locks
  • Power Brakes
  • Power Steering
  • Factory Electric Winch
  • Factory AC
  • Tilt Steering Column
  • Adjustable Suspension Seats
  • 4.11:1 Axle Ratio
  • Full-Float Rear Axle
  • Rear Limited Slip Differential

The 13B-T turbo-diesel engine works flawlessly, and you can expect to get 20-25 MPG during normal driving. The automatic transmission passed all service inspections, and shifts smoothly. The differentials and transfer case had clean fluid, free of any indication of problems. See the full list of everything inspected and serviced in the section below. This BJ74 is a great vehicle for driving around town or on the highway. The adjustable suspension seats make the ride very comfortable.

This BJ74 has only 96,582 original miles! That's 155,497 KMs.

  • Complete Detail Cleaning of the Exterior, Interior, Engine Compartment and Undercarriage

This represents the basic service I do to all vehicles I import.

 

Owning a Right-Hand-Drive Import

First, this is a 100% legal and documented import vehicle. I have copies of all the customs, EPA, DOT and import paperwork that go with the vehicle to the new owner. This BJ74 has been titled in Missouri, and can be legally titled and driven in all 50 states. Replacement parts and accessories are generally available to ensure a long life of service. Driving a right-hand-drive vehicle is not nearly as difficult as it might first appear. After a few minutes, any driver can become comfortable with driving "on the wrong side." The uniqueness of this setup starts conversations and turns heads everywhere you go.

Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).

Scion xB death sentence uncertain, minor updates announced

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

The last time we discussed the Scion xB and xD, in April of this year, it was to announce a report that both models were being killed. The vice president of the brand had said, "We don't have plans for a direct xB or xD replacement," but no date was given for the termination. Turns out rumors of their deaths have been greatly exaggerated: as part of a Toyota press release that summarized feature and pricing changes for 2013, the Scion xB was included.
The 2013 hatchback (above) gets a new front bumper and lower fascia with LED lighting, and the rear end gets a black diffuser. Stingray Metallic and Elusive Blue Metallic exterior hues will disappear, Absolutely Red and Nautical Blue Metallic will take their places. Inside will be light bronze metallic and chrome accents, as well as new seat fabric and the availability of the BeSpoke Premium Audio. It increases in price by $500, the manual costing $16,800, the automatic $17,750.
The xD (inset) has been left off the list and the Scion website it still hawking the 2012 car. But 2013 xD pricing and new features were announced earlier this year, the MSRP rising by $125 to $16,500. New equipment and options includes smoked headlight covers, more airbags and a two-tone paint job.

Subaru Viziv 2 presages Tribeca replacement with diesel hybrid tech

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

Subaru is in the middle of a new product bonanza. It has recent replacements for the Impreza and Forester at dealers, and soon we're getting the WRX, Legacy and if rumors are right the new Outback as well. Now, there are rumblings that there could be two more models from the Japanese brand on the way with styling inspired by the Viziv 2 concept from the Geneva Motor Show.
According to a company insider speaking with Motor Trend, the crossover concept shows the way for the brand's future design language. The shape would be used on a smaller CUV that is still being kept quite secret, and a second, larger one that would replace the recently axed Tribeca. The bigger model is the first priority and is planned as a new technology showcase.
It's rumored to use a turbodiesel, four-cylinder boxer engine that would be boosted with one electric motor on the front axle and two at the rear, with a plug-in hybrid system sourced from Toyota. It should provide a great mix of torque and fuel economy. A smaller flat-six engine would be a second powertrain option. Though the Viziv 2 concept only seats four, the production version would probably offer three rows.
