NO RESERVE AUCTION!!  High bid wins!

You are viewing my 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80. 

This is a very, very, very clean CarFax certified, no rust California raised, garaged and well maintained Land Cruiser.

I bought this Cruiser from SoCal where it was garaged its entire life and owned by 3 family members (CarFax shows 4 but it's only 3) most recently the son-in-law.  First with his mother-in-law, then his brother-in-law and then previous owner (son-in-law) got the cruiser with 110k miles.  After a year or so he added a 2.5" OME lift, new BFG All-Terrains 285/75/16 and a rear tire carrier and Yakima Load Bars and Axxis front bumper.

Sorry. No front & rear lockers. Stock center diff lock only when in low range.

The really cool thing is the mother-in-law installed Land Cruiser seats covers, only available overseas, at the time of purchase and the leather seats didn't see the light of day until recently when I brought the cruiser home.   Therefore the seats are almost perfect. I tried to take detailed photos but they are probably better in person than in the photos. Totally awesome.

Only a few small blemishes on the inside, very minor.  All leather near perfect.  Steering wheel leather near perfect as well as gear shift lever.  No fake wood dash here, nice clean look.  Everything works including, the PWR, 2nd gear start, OD buttons, etc.  All power windows works great as do the door locks and sunroof and it doesn't leak. Power seats function flawlessly.  The only issues are the power antenna motor works but the antenna is missing (stock radio still tunes fine and play CD's). The "D" light is burned out and the left side bulb that illuminates the dash is burned out.  The driver side sun visor needs a little help staying in the up position. I use a little clip.  Those are the only issues on the interior of this cruiser.  It's simply nicer than most you've ever seen.

The original paint is in fantastic shape with very few scratches here and there and one small dent in the tailgate (all in photos below).  No accident history or past bodywork.  You might be amazed at the overall condition of this cruiser.  Zero rust.  Stock alloy wheels look great with new OEM center caps.   Tires around 50% tread with brand new spare currently under the truck but can be mounted on the rear tire carrier. Roof rack side rails removed and holes plugged using info from an IH8MUD thread.  Front knuckles/birfields look great. No leaks to speak of and just had new brakes at all four corners and a recent service including oil, lube, filter and a few fluids.  New EGR transducer & temp sensor and catalytic converters at 172k. New rear main seal and crank seal at 159k. Full tune-up including cap, rotor, plugs, wires etc. at 181k. It runs, drives, shifts, brakes just great.  In my opinion it drives better than some cruisers with less miles.  The PHH has been replaced and no HG issues. It really is a pleasure to drive.  Axxis front bumper with winch mount (no winch) which is just a few years old.  Yakima load bars with faring. Receiver hitch.  Maui Toyota license plate frame on front bumper for show. It's never been to Hawaii.

Rear swing out tire carrier included but not currently installed. Full size spare currently mounted under the cruiser in the factory position.

I am selling because I found a Lexus LX 450 all stock with "diff locks" in pretty nice condition.  It was a tough choice to sell this superb cruiser. But I plan to add the OME lift and BFG's to my Lexus but it will never hold a candle to this 80 series.

2013 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

"Oh yeah, Toyota still makes the Tacoma." Admit it, that's what you just said to yourself. It's a perfectly natural reaction, but the Tacoma has been quietly anchoring its segment for years, outselling every other compact pickup without making too much of a fuss. Toyota hasn't neglected the Tacoma - it was updated in 2012 with a revised nose and interior as the most noteable changes.
In a world awash with high-value fullsize pickups all vying for your attention, the Tacoma still charms more than a few buyers out of their cash. I hooked a Tacoma for a week to see whether it still has enough to recommend it.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.

Next-gen Toyota Tacoma mule caught towing in the desert

Wed, 13 Aug 2014

With the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon set to arrive in dealers in the near future, it's high time Toyota got to work on a replacement for the Tacoma, a vehicle whose present generation debuted in the middle of the Bush Administration. Now, we have images of that new pickup undergoing testing.
Our spy photographers picked up this heavily modified mule undergoing tow tests in the desert. It rides on a modified version of the current Taco's frame, as evidenced by shots of its undercarriage, although our spies cite the lack of riveted sections as indications that the current truck's footprint should remain unchanged.
Aside from underbody changes, this particular Tacoma featured a six-speed manual transmission, which we're expecting to be joined by a six-speed automatic. The current four- and five-speed autos found on the current truck will almost certainly be killed off. Marching to the grave with those slushboxes will be the two-door Regular Cab body style. Our spies are expecting Toyota to focus its efforts on the larger, more accessible Double Cab.
