1982 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 For sale. Entered as 1980 because Ebay will not recognize shorter VIN#

 

This Toyota spent all its life in a dry warmer weather where trucks are prone to rust less and much lower mileage than American trucks.

This truck was totally restored 5 years ago, although the condition before the restoration was pretty clean, with original parts, and mechanical perfect the car had some body imperfections and a frame off restoration was ordered for this truck.  

Since the restoration my dad had put around 25K kilometres on it.

He built his truck to be a reliable vehicle on the top of the driver scale. This truck was a solid rust free start, with stock components.  1980-84 years are the desired FJ40 family trucks. This one being Fj43 is even more rare than the others. The body is slightly larger and it gives a better stance than the fj40. The 2F engine, transmission and differentials are the same.

This particular truck features power steering, factory disc front brakes, 4.10 gears, 4 speed transmission, and very desirable soft top. After 1980 these Toyota trucks had better and prettier doors and overall better design, they also appreciate in value the best.  We have owned this truck since 1992 since then is being driven it often but never hardcore offroad. The next owner can take it up a gravel road, or city driver.  It was built as a museum piece 5 years ago, but now it has small scratches and normal wear from being driven.

The 2F engines along with the 3F engine are the best Toyota Gasoline engines. This truck is very reliable and strong.

 

BODY

This truck is completely rust free. All the panels are clean and steel. There are no funny Aluminum pieces on this truck, FJ40’s are notorious for rust, it is incredible to find rust free trucks like this.

The body is true and straight with no hidden rust, or the common ugly black gravel lining paint underneath of the car to cover rust. The paint is beautiful and shinny, It has 2 small scratches that happened during transportation (they have been retouched, see pic) This truck looks much better in person than in the pics.  New door seals, inner door panels, original Toyota mats are in perfect shape. Seats had been upholstered to original specifications.  

The interior is very clean and in excellent shape, everything works as it should. It has a rare larger jump seats, 6 people can fit comfortable in this truck. Tools and jack are included. The original radio was damaged and the current one is just filling the whole but is not functional.

No heather on this truck, it came like this from factory but one can be easily sourced and installed if needed for colder States.

The Soft top has aged nicely but if desired, a brand new top can be bought for extra $1300 (same beige color and design, light gray can be an option as well). There are no leaks inside when it is raining. I can also source a hard top if you want to go that route.


MECHANICALS

This Fj43 has a stock Toyota inline 2F motor with excellent compression that burns clean. It is low kilometer truck, only 216.000 original kilometers, which is about 135000 ORIGINAL miles. This engines are known to go over 500.000 miles easy. 

I recently changed all filters, coolant, oil and a new water pump installed. The carburetor and clutch were changed for new ones during the restoration.  The clutch, 4 speed trans and case all operate perfectly. Brakes are in good shape.

Original 16 in wheels with tires that still have some tread.  There are no aftermarket installations, therefore no splits on the electrical harness or electrical headaches.

There are no big issues with this truck, this is the type of Toyota you want to buy, honest, rust free stock original.  This truck is a joy to drive and will provide years of trouble free service with proper care and maintenance, but please expect to tinker like any other vintage vehicle from time to time. There is nothing pending to do on this truck at this moment.

This truck is registered in Vancouver BC. I will give you a registration and a bill of sale. It is sold “as is” no warranty.

I require $500 non-refundable deposit in 24 hrs of ending auction. Please pick up between 8 days or advise any delays (I can hold the truck for longer period buy full payment is expected). This car is parked under heated garage. Inspections are welcome.

I can assist to ship this truck to Canada, Mexico USA or any other country as long it is legal to be imported. Please contact me with any question or if want to see the truck in person. Drive test is available for serious buyers.

Please do not bid if you don’t intent to buy or have the funds to pay. If you do not have EBay feedback, please contact me before bidding or I will cancel your bid.

Toyota begins shipping Le Yaris to America

Fri, 17 May 2013

Our tiniest Toyota (Scion iQ notwithstanding) is about to get a little French flair. The Japanese automaker announced Thursday that its Toyota Motor Manufacturing France facility would begin building Yaris models destined for North America - specifically, the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. This will mark the first time in history that Toyota has exported vehicles to North America from Europe.
Initially, Toyota will export roughly 25,000 Yaris models to North American markets from France each year. In order to handle this additional production, Toyota Motor Manufacturing France has invested 10 million euro into its French facility.
Despite being somewhat of a snooze-fest (it's a car!), the Yaris carries on in North America with a 106-horsepower 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, with prices starting at $14,370 for the three-door and $15,395 for the five-door, not including $795 for destination.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:

Toyota issues multiple recalls for 6.4 million vehicles worldwide

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

It looks like 2014 may go down as the year of recalls. We were already at a record pace, and now it seems Toyota is recalling 6.39 million vehicles worldwide, including about 30 of its models for a variety of problems. None of the faults have caused any injuries or fatalities, but there have been two reports of fires caused by a defective engine starter motor.
Toyota's numbers show 1.772 million vehicles being recalled in the US, but that includes some overlap because the Yaris is being repaired for multiple faults. According to The Detroit News, there are 2.36 million affected models in all of north North America, 1.09 million in Japan and 810,000 in Europe, plus smaller numbers in other regions.
Among the vehicles recalled in the US are 1.3 million units of the 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris. The problem is that the driver's airbag module is attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on the cable can be damaged when the steering wheel is turned, which deactivates the airbag and causes the airbag warning light to come on. Toyota is replacing the cable with an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin the repair. The company is sending affected owners notifications in the mail. According to The Detroit News, an unspecified number of Pontiac Vibe vehicles are also included in this recall because it shares the part with the Matrix.
