1988 Toyota Land Cruiser Base Sport Utility 4-door 4.0l (fj62) on 2040-cars
Lexington, Kentucky, United States
"The
body is very, very nice…it is in the top 10% of FJ 62 bodies!' David Dearborn,
Owner of Urban Land Cruisers & Land Rovers in Atlanta, GA.
The 1980s was a golden age of Japan's economy and the legendary Land Cruiser endured its own golden age during the 80s too. Now that time is undeniably, and lamentably, gone. The automobiles of yesteryear were stronger and had remarkably higher quality materials than anything manufactured today. A few years ago I plumbed the depths of the vintage Land Cruiser market and am proud to offer my personal symbol of this Golden Age – my beautifully restored 1988 FJ62. I have spent considerable time selecting parts and restoring much of this fine piece of craftsmanship. My philosophy on restoration included OEM parts and keeping as much of the truck original as possible. This included a substantial amount of handwork and elbow grease to bring back to luster in this automotive champion. In the end, I believe I achieved a near "factory-new" finish while maintaining the character that was imparted by years of use. This car is meant to be used and enjoyed. That may be a little over the top but this truck is awesome and I've enjoyed it more than anything - good luck to the winning bidder! Originally owned by a doctor in Seattle, Washington for 23 years and sold to a dealership in the area when a mutual friend purchased the cruiser to restore in Georgia. I am the third true owner. I purchased the vehicle after the restoration process became too costly and took over in 2012. I am selling now because I've had twin boys and it's not the ideal car for infants. I will gladly answer any questions via email or phone
(eight five nine – four two zero – five eight eight six). I made a commitment to keeping as much of the truck
original as possible. Where replacement
parts were best option I chose OEM except spark plugs where I use Bosch. Prior to restoring we paid for a thorough third party inspection of the truck. All seats were removed and carpet to ensure no hidden rust. I can provide that original report from Urban Land Cruisers, LLC to interested buyer. We discovered that there is NO RUST on the exterior or interior frame of the truck during this inspection. In addition, they found the car body to be in the top 10% of all FJ62s!

Note: I may continue to work on the LC as it's something I love to do and genuinely care about its well-being. If there's something not mentioned above that concerns you please let me know. |

Toyota recalls 4,000 Tacoma pickups over valve springs
Thu, 07 Nov 2013When you build as many cars and trucks as Toyota does, you're bound to run into the occasional recall. In the past month alone, the Japanese auto giant has recalled over 800,000 Camry, Avalon and Venza models over problems with the air-conditioning units, and 10,000 more before that over windshield wiper issues. Now Toyota has issued another recall notice, but this time for far fewer vehicles.
The recall revolves around the engine valve springs in the 2013 and 2014 Tacoma, specifically those fitted with the standard 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine and not the optional 4.0-liter V6. The issue is that the valve springs are prone to cracking and breaking over time, and results from improper maintenance of the manufacturing equipment used by one of the two suppliers that outfit Toyota with the components in question.
All told, some 4,000 vehicles will be subject to the voluntary recall, the owners of which will receive notice by mail. If you think that could be you and want to get a jump on the problem, you can read the announcement below and call Toyota yourself.
2014 Toyota 4Runner revealed at Stagecoach Music Festival
Sat, 27 Apr 2013Toyota has just pulled the sheet off its updated 2014 4Runner at the 2013 Stagecoach Music Festival near Palm Springs, California. Toyota is the title sponsor at the festival, and claims that this is the first ever global reveal of a new automobile at a major music festival. We're also guessing this is the first time that the 4Runner has seen duty inside what looks like a vintage circus act's cage.
We can see from the photos (and the earlier teaser images) that the body-on-frame SUV has received a freshened look with new smoked light fixtures front and rear, along with a reworked front fascia and grille. The profile view seems largely unchanged, though there are new wheel patterns on offer.
The 4Runner will continue to be offered in three trims, including SR5, more luxurious Limited, and off-road-ready Trail specification. Both 4x2 and both part- and full-time 4x4 models will continue to be available, all will be powered by the same 4.0-liter 270-horsepower V6 and five-speed automatic as last year.
Lightweight Toyota GT86 spotted on Nordschleife with carbon panels, upgraded aero
Tue, 24 Jun 2014We've seen (and frankly reported on) so many rumors of more powerful and performance-focused versions of the Subaru BRZ, Toyota GT86 and Scion FR-S at this point that haven't materialized that, at this point, we're almost tired of them. Almost. But what we have here was enough to pique our jaded interests as only a carbon-bodied sports car on the Nürburgring could do.
What we're looking at is, well, we don't quite know, to tell you the truth. What we can tell is that it's a Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S for us) wearing new wheels and a carbon-fiber hood, roof, racing-spec rear wing and subtle lip spoiler. The vents in the hood indicate that the prototype in question could be packing an upgraded engine to go with the lighter body panels and upgraded aero, and the interior (at least as far as we can see) looks pretty well stripped out.
The right-hand drive configuration tells us this is either destined for former territories of the British Empire or for the racetrack. Considering the ride height, full glass and apparent lack of roll cage, our money's on this prototype is being developed for the Japanese Domestic Market, where Toyota badges the sports car simply as the 86. We can always hope, though, that some version makes it into Scion showrooms in North America... we just won't get our hopes up too high.
