1988 Fj62 Toyota Land Cruiser *** Excellent Condition *** on 2040-cars
Covington, Louisiana, United States
condition. Originally a CA rig, it has been in Louisiana for about a year and only driven about 7 days a month. 184,788 original miles. It is garage kept every day and is an EXCELLENT survivor. The only rust on it is a few spots on the rear bumper where some dings have removed the chrome, but that is easily replaceable. I removed the seat cover of the drivers seat just for listing purposes only. The exterior is incredible and has no dents. It has extremely low miles and the car runs and drives like a low mile FJ 62 Land Cruiser should. I have maintenance records of the most recent care it has received before I purchased it. It has the original owners manual. The truck has had a thorough inspection by Toyota of Covington Louisiana where they specialize in FJ62s for this region. They are the GO TO SHOP for the Louisiana Land Krewesers Club. If you have ever wanted a pristine FJ 62, this is it. The interior is equally exceptional. No tears on the drivers seat or any seat and no foul odors. The seats have brand new covers from Specter Off road and was once owned by the owner so you know it was taken care of. Spector also installed the suspension lift, and info can be found at on their website. For some reason I can't post the link here but will email it to you if you ask for it. In fact, the truck in the photo on their page is the truck I am selling. It also has a new stereo and Kicker subwoofer in it. The AC is ice cold and the heat is hot. There are no shimmies rattles or shakes and the tires have plenty of life in them. Tires are Michelins and the rims are stock and very nice. Mechanically the car has been fully serviced. 170,000 miles All fluids changed Front and Rear Diffs Transfer Case Transmillion Coolant Heavy Duty Transmission Oil Cooler added 171,000 Coolant hoses replaced--ALL 172,000 Transmission rebuilt 174,000 New Suspension installed Tie Rod / Drag Link replaced 175,000 New Tires and Alignment 33 in BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN (nipples still on tires) Less than 10,000 miles on new tires. 177,000 Full Tune Up Spark Plugs replaced Plug Wires replaced Dist Cap replaced Rotor replaced New POV valve Valve Clearance Adjustment 177,811 Transmission Fluid / Filter Replaced 181,181 Oil Change with Filter change CASTROL GTX 20W50 used only. The undercarriage is as good as the topside and there are no leaks of any kind. I would not hesitate to drive this truck anywhere. I have a very fair number in mind for the car so feel free to contact. It is listed locally so I reserve the right to sell it locally before bidding ends. They don't get much better than this without some serious investment. I am selling it because with a new family, I just don't have the time to enjoy it like I should. Add up the cost of the tires, new suspension, seat covers and front brush guard and you're looking at well over $4000 alone. Add the peace of mind from the 100% checkup from the Toyota Maintenance Dept, and you've got a solid rig. I'm happy to send more pics or a video if you need. Thanks |

Toyota temporarily idles pair of Indian plants due to labor unrest
Thu, 20 Mar 2014The Detroit News reported today that Toyota will restart production at two Indian plants, following a shutdown on Monday.
Factory labor, management and police in Asia engage in the kind of violent altercations that we're not used to, having almost entirely walked away from the overtly brutal relations epitomized by the Pinkerton Detective Agency and the Flint Sit-Down Strike. In India, a plant owned by a Ford transmission supplier plant was shut down in 2009 after incidents between workers and armed men around the same time as Ssangyong workers occupied a factory in South Korea, in 2012 Suzuki Maruti workers rioted over wages around the same time upset employees beat a ceramics factory president to death in retaliation for a labor leader's killing.
Toyota is the latest to company trying to avoid that road. The Detroit Free Press reported earlier this week that it shut down two plants in India after 11 months of acrimonious wage negotiations and arbitration have gone nowhere. Toyota said the plant workers in Bidadi, near Bangalore, had deliberately stopped production at times over the past 45 days and threatened management. The workers said they wanted their wages raised by an amount already agreed to by management, but that management had reneged; news reports weren't clear on the amount, some saying nearly 10,000 rupees ($165 US) more per month, another saying 4,000 rupees ($65 US), but reports agree that Toyota has said it will only go as high as 3,050 rupees ($50 US).
Toyota Auris Touring Sports is a handsome Prius V alternative [w/videos]
Wed, 06 Mar 2013The Toyota Prius V has a lot to recommend it, but adventurous and sporty styling is not in its repertoire. That's why this new Auris Touring Sports has our attention. Claimed to be the "first full hybrid estate car" in the compact class, this two-box Auris has genuine visual panache to go with its load-lugging capability and parsimonious fuel economy. In the metal, we think its v-shaped grille and headlamp treatment acquits itself better than it does on the new RAV4, a model that shares its new design language.
Built by Toyota UK, the Auris Touring Sports hybrid is powered by a familiar-sounding 1.8-liter gas engine paired with an electric motor, with total system output quoted at 134 horsepower. The model will also be available in a variety of gas or diesel trims if you prefer your vehicle sans electrification (a non-hybrid model is shown). It goes on sale later this year in Europe, but don't hold your breath to see one in North America. Still interested? Scroll below to see a couple of videos and to read the official press release.
Toyota launches updated Verso-S in Europe
Wed, 14 May 2014Globally, the Toyota Yaris has bred more variants than we can shake a stick at. It's been known in different markets as the Vitz, the Platz, the Bella, the Vios and, to us, as the Echo. The first-generation model bred a small cargo van called the Yaris Verso - a mini minivan riding on the shortest wheelbase in its class - which was renamed the Verso-S for Europe and alternatively known as the Space Verso, the Ractis, the Ractis Verso and even the Subaru Trezia in certain markets. And now Toyota has launched a revised version of its Verso-S in Europe.
Arriving as a mid-life facelift after three years on the market, the new Toyota Verso-S has been reinterpreted through the "Keen Look" design language that's been distinguishing the latest generation of Toyotas, particularly in the European market. That means new projector-beam headlights and LED daytime running lights, a reshaped grille with chrome surround, more LEDs around back, a fresh set of 16-inch alloys and new color options.
The interior has likewise been spruced up with new trim and color choices, as well as a tire pressure monitor fitted as standard. There's a new touchscreen display with more connectivity options, upgraded nav and a rearview camera as well. Since Toyota's made no mention of engine upgrades, until we hear back, we have to assume the 1.3-liter inline-four and 1.4-liter diesel engines carry over unchanged with the buyer's choice of either a six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission.
