Selling my much loved BJ40 Landcruiser Diesel. Originally sold in Luxembourg Europe. (has heat, no air. also has power brakes)
Clean Arizona title in my name. Well maintained BJ40 with 57000 Kilometers on the clock. I assume this is correct looking at how tight the car feels on the road and how accurate it shifts into it's gears. Clutch feels like new. It drives tight and has always had it's yearly roadworthy inspection, first in Luxembourg and later in it's (mostly garaged) life in The Netherlands where I obtained her. These road tests are very strict, all rubber underneath the car such as fuel and brake hoses, boots and mounts must be in good condition to pass. There can be no play in joints, bearings and steering system.

The previous owner bought her to haul wood out of a forest and the occasional bay of hay for his horse. He did this a few times and then stored the BJ for about 7 years until he decided to sell it due to the changed road-tax laws in The Netherlands. (now this BJ is no longer tax exempt, as it's not 40 years old yet)

I have driven it all over with much pleasure, in Holland and in the USA. It cruises fine at speeds up to 60 MPH, even with the terrain tires. It will go faster, but I'd install different tires for that. Chevrolet wheels fit by the way. The wheels on it are the original wheels that can be taken apart to change the inner tube. (in case you're stuck in the Sahara with a flat tire by yourself)
The top comes off, I never did that though. It's quite the job, lots of bolts.
The engine runs very well and has plenty of power. Very torqy famous 4-cylinder Toyota diesel that gets around 27-28MpG all around. I measured by distance and fuel used, as the odometer is in Kilometers and a tad off because of the huge wheels. (when doing 110 on the clock, you're cruising 57 on the GPS)

4 wheel drive works flawless, and so does the immensely powerful winch that is driven by the engine. (on the transfer case)

Paint is of good driver quality. It shines up great but is not show quality. I get lots of compliments though. There are a few nickle sized dents in the hood.
I noticed a rust spot on the passenger wheel well and 2 quarter size spots under the driver seat. on the passenger door jamb is rust beginning to show. This is an older restoration so expect imperfections in the paint. There is also rust on the rear cargo doors, and I have bought two new doors that will be included in the sale. All in all, for a 37 year old landcruiser the body is in great shape, and so is the undercarriage.

Seats are not original but they are very comfortable Recaro seats. The radio does work but is not hooked up as it's a 24 volts system and I'm not sure how that works. All lights etc work, only the interior light above the driver seat doesn't. One of the 3 horn buttons on the steering wheel does not function.

Bid with confidence on this great fun cruiser. Ready for work or play or just to drive it for fun like I did. Be sure you can afford it prior to bidding!
This vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Non refundable deposit of $650. Zero or low feedback bidders please contact me prior to bidding. More foto's available upon request.

Japanese earthquakes send ripples through auto industry

Mon, Apr 18 2016

The earthquakes since April 14 in Japan's Kumamoto Prefecture on the island of Kyushu are having aftershocks on the US auto industry, particularly for Toyota. The company shut down most of its factories in the country due to parts shortages, and the plants will be closed at least through April 23. "Decisions regarding recommencement of operation at plants in Japan will be made on the basis of availability of parts," the company said in a statement. According to Automotive News, Toyota's closed factories include a vast range of popular models in the US, including the Toyota Prius, Mirai, RAV4, 4Runner, Land Cruiser, Lexus ES, LS, IS, GS, RC, NX, RX, GX, and LX. The company's only sites in Japan that are still open build Hino trucks, Daihatsu models, and the Toyota Century limo. Toyota isn't yet sure whether these shutdowns could lead to vehicle shortages in the US. "As you can imagine, we are still reviewing the situation and working to learn more," company spokesperson Aaron Fowles told Autoblog. "While we know that production will be suspended in stages at most of our vehicle assembly facilities in Japan between April 18th and the 23rd, we do not know if they will continue production suspensions. Also, any effects to our inventory and/or sales have yet to be determined." He expects the automaker to know more in the coming days. Many of the affected Toyota plants aren't even in Kumamoto Prefecture, but major suppliers have factories in the region. For example, Aisin Seiki and Renesas Electronics both had to shutdown operations at plants in the area, according to Automotive News. Toyota isn't the only automaker affected. Nissan experienced a brief slowdown but was back to work on Monday, and Honda has suspended a motorcycle plant in the region until Friday. Mitsubishi had to close a production line due to the parts shortage, according to The Japan Times, but it didn't affect US models. "A supplier to our Mizushima plant has been impacted but they only supply an engine part for our mini car line. That line has been temporarily shut down due to that situation," spokesperson Alex Fedorak told Autoblog. "That same plant builds the Lancer and i-MiEv and there has been no impact to that line and production continues uninterrupted." Two major quakes hit Kumamoto Prefecture around Kumamoto city in the past week. The first on April 14 measured 6.4 magnitude, and a second on April 16 measured 7.3.

4th-gen Toyota Prius production delayed by 6 months

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

If you were holding off buying a new car in anticipation of the fourth-generation Toyota Prius arriving in 2015, your wait might be a little longer. Company insiders are claiming that production of the bestselling hybrid is being pushed back from spring to possibly as late as December 2015. Toyota is reportedly still making alterations to make sure everything is just right before it unleashes the all-important, efficient hatch on a waiting public.
According to unnamed sources speaking to Automotive News Europe, the main reasons for the delay aren't completely known. It's believed the engineers are still working on making the hybrid powertrain more efficient and improving the new Toyota Global Architecture modular platform. The insiders claim that the final production prototype of the Prius is still under development, and it might be November before it's finalized. From there, it usually takes around 12 months to tool up and for the first car to roll off the assembly line. It would be another year after that before the plug-in variant starts assembly. The national manager of Toyota Product Communications, Michael Kroll, told AutoblogGreen, "As you might expect, we can't comment on future product plans."
Despite the delay, some potential details have already emerged about the new hybrid. A company spokesperson recently told Autoblog via email that Toyota is engineering the next-gen Prius to have smaller, more power-dense electric motors and greater thermal efficiency. The new modular platform is also rumored reduce weight, and the changes could lead to a targeted 10 percent improvement in fuel economy.
