1996 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80 (clean title) with Factory Locking Differentials (494) with 223,150 miles. I purchased my dream truck 2.5 months ago with the intention of restoring it to its former glory. However, a recent home purchase that ended up going well over asking has wiped out my restoration budget and then some, which has forced the sale of my LC. This truck is running but definitely needs some repairs before it can become a daily driver. This vehicle was inspected on 2/2014 at a local Toyota dealership.

The body is very clean, with a few minor dings (see hood) but the body is straight with no rust (spent entire life in Texas). All power works in the vehicle, but some windows are slow and locks need work (typical of this car). Heat and AC works great. The front seats do not move forward or backward due to stripped gears (another common issue) - I have new gears but have not yet replaced them. The interior is in really great shape with the exception of a few carpet stains. Cable for ebrake needs to be replaced. The main issue that needs to be addressed is the transmission as it skips gears in drive but works fine when shifting manually L-2-D. This transmission issue is triggering the check engine light -‘shift solenoid B’ code. This truck has a few leaks typical of a car this age, including a small brake fluid leak that I monitor before taking her out. The left front turn signal needs to be replaced.

I have put four brand new tires (less than 200 miles) on the truck, a new Diehard battery, installed a new EGR valve, serviced the front wheel bearings (Toyota), and purchased several parts that will ship with the vehicle. Detailed instructions on vehicle repairs can be found on iH8MUD.com. All paperwork for parts and service will come with the vehicle. This is a great truck that needs a little work to get going full time. It is rare to find these trucks that are not rusted out or used for rock crawling, I wish I could hang on to her and restore this solid axle 4x4 for family trips out West and beyond.

Please email me with any questions before bidding. I will need $500 deposit 24 hours after auction close with the remainder of the balance within 7 days of close. Bidding history required. Title and key will be priority mailed upon payment in full. The vehicle will then be shipped or towed and paid by auction winner.

Toyota's Lentz says fuel cells are the future, not EVs

Sun, 25 May 2014

Toyota is not bullish on EVs. That comes from the company's North American CEO, Jim Lentz, who said the company will focus not on electrification, but on continued hybridization with a long-term focus on hydrogen fuel cells.
Lentz questioned the long-range ability of EVs, saying that Toyota feels "there are better alternatives, such as hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and tomorrow with fuel cells." Lentz spoke about Toyota's focus on hydrogen following Forbes Brainstorm Green conference and barely a week after a battery deal between Tesla and Toyota ended, according to Automotive News.
That deal provided for 2,500 battery packs for the Rav4 EV. While valuable to Toyota, the deal "was never about open-ended volume," Lentz said. "It was time to either continue or stop. My personal feeling was that I would rather invest my dollars in fuel cell development than in another 2,500 EVs."

Toyota hits 10 million Camry models sold in US

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

This year marks 30 years of sales for the Toyota Camry in the US, and in that time, it has amassed more than 10 million sales. In its first year on the market, the Camry sold 52,651 units, but it has gone on to become the best-selling car in the US for the last 11 years.
Toyota says that "virtually all" current Camry models sold in the US are made here, and three-quarters of all Camry contents are domestically sourced. Scroll down for the official press release from Toyota, and be sure to check out our gallery of images showing every model year and bodystyle of the Camry since it first went on sale in 1983.

Ford predicts it will finish 2013 as top-selling US brand

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Ford is ready to call the ball on its 2013 sales totals, predicting a first-place finish for units sold in the US for a single brand. The company anticipates selling more than 2.4 million vehicles when all vehicle sales over the last 12 months have been tallied, repeating the victory it trumpeted over Toyota last year.
According to Ford's accounting, it sold 329,677 more vehicles than did Toyota in 2012. This year, the Blue Oval expects that margin to grow; through the end of November, Ford says it has outsold Toyota by 396,041 units.
Retail sales of Ford products are projected to exceed 1.7 million units for 2013 (the best retail result in 6 years for the company), with passenger cars accounting for 600k of that total. The redesigned Fusion is expected to crest the 290k mark, and the Fiesta is said to be ready to hit a model-record of 70k-plus. Meanwhile, utility vehicles and trucks are still paying a lot of bills in Dearborn, with the new Escape racking up an expected 300k sales and F-Series trucks chugging along at 688,810 units sold thru November.
