This is a nice Cruiser that could and would be my daily driver if I didn't need a pick-up for work. I bought it about 8 years ago in Nampa, Id. The previous owner said he brought it up from California. Thats about all I know of its history. There are more things that I have fixed or upgraded over the last 8 years than I can remember but I will try to get most of it on here.

-Rebuilt original F155 Toyota 6 cylinder motor with plenty of pep and power. (about 10,000 thousand miles since rebuild.) 
-Radiator was rodded when engine was rebuilt.
-Upgraded Australian H41 4 speed Toyota transmission. (This has a 4.925:1 1st gear rather than the American 3.555:1.) Still has the stock lower geared 3 speed transfer case which gives it a super nice crawling gear. And it is all stock Land Cruiser parts.
-Center Force Dual Friction clutch.
-Asian vacuum advance carburetor with vacuum advance distributer. (gives a little more pep and performs great off road even in high elevations.)
-Toyota Mini Truck power steering.
-New "HFS" 3 inch lift and 32/11.50 mud terrain tires.(about 60% tread remaining.)
-U bolt skid plates.
-Full custom roll cage with grab handles and a place for CB.
-Best Top fold and tumble rear bench seat.
-New dune beige paint. (2007)
-Has Best Top soft top, summer top, and hard top.(Not painted or assembled but complete with some new gaskets and seals and enough paint, although its 7 years old, to finish it. All included with sale.) I had a body shop tell me that it would cost $1500 to repair all the rust and get the hard top painted and ready for install. Not too bad.


----WINCH NOT INCLUDED---


There is more, I'm sure. And there are lots of spare parts as well as stuff I have to still put on. I have black leather heated bucket seats from a Subaru and shoulder belts from a newer FJ40 I was going to install but have not gotten around to it.  I will include all of this stuff with "buy it now price". 

This truck looks great but it is not perfect.(minor rust resurfacing, some paint chips and minor scratches from branches and things. "Desert pin striping" I guess you might call it. Gas will drain back out of the carburetor if the rig is not driven daily and make it take about 10 - 15 seconds of cranking to get started but it always starts and runs great. There are also a few small oil leaks but nothing serious. As far as I know these are the only mechanical issues. I get looks and compliments every time I drive it. But it is one of those rigs that I built and used for hunting and camping so the paint is no longer perfect. If you want a truck that looks good and has many of the upgrades needed for great off road capability then this is the Cruiser for you.

I have owned and been building and improving this Cruiser with the intension of keeping it forever but an opportunity has come up for me that I would like to take advantage of so I am reluctantly selling.

I can email you more pictures if you need them. Just let me know.

Buyer is responsible for vehicle pick-up or delivery from Ontario, OR 97914. I may be able to deliver within 300 miles or so for a fee. I know we will be taking a trip to Lake Tahoe in a few weeks. So if you are anywhere in the southwest, this could be a good meeting place. Plus you could run the Rubicon with it. :)

I will require a $2000 deposit within 48 hours of auction end. Remainder will be due within 4 business days unless other arrangements are made with winning bidder.

I also reserve the right to end auction early as vehicle is for sale locally as well.

I will check emails daily and get back with answers to questions as quickly as I can.

You can also call me at 541-212-6873. Leave message if I don't answer and I will call you back as soon as I am able. 


*****RESERVE PRICE HAS BEEN LOWERED FROM PREVIOUS LISTING*****


On May-29-14 at 21:14:04 PDT, seller added the following information:

I do have a file full of receipts, both parts and labor, for nearly all of the work that has been done to this rig since I have owned it. 

I can also get you pictures of the unfinished hard top if you would like them. There is very little rust in that either.

Fri, Apr 5 2024

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. The two kick things off by talking about what they've been driving, including the 2025 Volvo EX30 (on ice), 2024 Lexus LC 500h and 2024 Lexus TX 350. After the review section, it's time for the news. The impending 2025 Toyota 4Runner reveal is dissected; a new Buick Envision arrives, and Tesla has a rough quarter. Once the pair finish with the news, they move on to discuss the current state of affairs in Formula 1 and give a quick rundown of the New York Auto Show Editors' Picks.

Jay Leno goes offroading with the legendary Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Jay Leno takes a step outside of his cavernous garage for this latest video for a jaunt into the desert to get a little dirty. He meets up with off-road racing legend Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart, who has multiple Baja 500 and 1000 wins in his motorsports career, to play with a Toyota Tundra in the sand.
Unfortunately, Leno doesn't get to interview Stewart too deeply about his long history in racing, but Ironman does talk a little bit about reading the trail while speeding through the desert. In lieu of a great conversation, there is a ton of high-quality footage of the Toyota bounding through the desert.
This clip feels more like a marketing effort than the usual output from Jay Leno's Garage, but it's still great to see Stewart behind the wheel sliding a truck, just like old times. The two of them even take the truck on a somewhat humorous journey at the end of the video.

Lexus NX, BMW i3 to get Super Bowl commercials

Mon, Jan 19 2015

At this point last year, we'd been getting news on automotive-focused Super Bowl commercials for more than two months. The teasers hadn't come out yet, but manufacturers lined up for the super-expensive spots were making their intentions known. This year? Almost nada, until this week. BMW has said it will air a 60-second spot promoting the i3 during the first quarter of the game, the Munich firm returning to The Big Game after a four-year absence. BMW says, "Big ideas like the BMW i3 take a little getting used to, and the creative idea surrounding our spot will play on this analogy." We say that pitching a tiny range-extended hatchback during the beer-iest American sports orgy of the year should make for some neat commentary afterward. Lexus is putting its new NX crossover in the second Super Bowl commercial it's ever aired, eschewing the glitter of celebrities and glamor for a straight-shooting spot and the tagline, "Be seen, be heard, make some noise." Joining those two are Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Toyota. The six confirmed carmakers are down from eleven last year, when car spots made up a quarter of the total ad time. The price to do business for 30 seconds this year: reportedly around $4.5 million, up a stacks from last year's $4 million. You can watch the Lexus commercial in the video above, and beneath that, the BMW press release below has a bit more information on its effort. BMW to Advertise All-Electric BMW i3 during Super Bowl XLIX. The all-electric BMW i3 is featured in a 60-second spot during Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday, February 1, 2015. Woodcliff Lake, NJ – January 15, 2015... Today, BMW announced plans to feature the all-electric BMW i3 in a 60-second spot during Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday, February 1, 2015. After a 4-year hiatus, BMW will be returning to the big game with a commercial during the first quarter. "As one in three Americans will tune in to watch the Super Bowl, we are thrilled to use this platform to educate viewers on the importance of electric mobility," said Trudy Hardy, Vice President of Marketing, BMW of North America. "Big ideas like the BMW i3 take a little getting used to, and the creative idea surrounding our spot will play on this analogy." BMW i is BMW's forward-looking and sustainable brand dedicated to solving many of the mobility challenges faced by the world's most densely populated cities. The BMW i3 is the first of the BMW i vehicles constructed from the ground up primarily of carbon fiber.
