Negative: Transmission is bad, needs a knuckle rebuild.

This is a 1988 Toyota Landcruiser FJ62.  The engine runs well.  The interior is in decent shape.  The seats are stained and the carpet has some stains but it is dark brown.  The rear carpet has already been replaced once and will need replacing again. The rear seat had a small bow to it.  It folds down properly and functions normal.  The driver side of this vehicle's body is in good shape.  The passenger side has some dents and dings along all of the panels.  I do not know what it takes for body work but I don't consider any of them to be major.  I have only driven this vehicle from where I bought it to my house.  It ran well but it needs a transmission.  I drove it home in first gear.  The previous owner said the trany ran out of fluid and he kept driving it until it was too late.  I have not tried topping it off or even changing it because I figured a buyer would like to look at the fluid.  I am selling this vehicle with an automatic transmission that I have pulled out of another cruiser that I own.  The second transmission works great and has about 200,000 miles on it.  I will install it for $1,000 on top of the sale price or just ship it with the vehicle and you get 2 transmissions.  This vehicle has a leak in the steering knuckle.  It will need a rebuild.  That is my assessment.  I have never done this procedure but it seems quite common with these cruisers.  Everything else is in good working condition.  the dash pad is not great but it's really hard to find one without cracks.  To sweeten this sale more I will include another 3fe engine that I pulled out of my other cruiser.  It had around 200,000 miles on it.  I believe this engine just needs a rebuild.  The compression for the second engine are cylinder 1-6 = 102, 104, 103, 109, 100, 105.  At the very least you get an additional 3fe set up for parts or to sell as you see fit. Buyer will pay shipping costs.  I am willing to work out a delivery strategy or any other crazy scheme somebody wants to concoct.  This cruiser will be a good starting point for a person that wants to have a project. It can easily be a very nice stock cruiser or get the full upgrade.  There is only one 2 inch portion of the passenger rear fender where I can see any rust that might need attention.  It has lived it's life in Nevada. I can answer any additional questions or would be happy to have a potential buyer come see it before final bid.

Toyota releases teaser for Kaley Cuoco Super Bowl ad

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Toyota has released a 35-second teaser video for its upcoming Super Bowl spot staring Kaley Cuoco, the actress best known for her role as object-of-nerd-affection Penny on The Big Bang Theory. The real star of the ad, however, is its soundtrack, the 1995 hit "I Wish" by rapper Skee-Lo that will have your mind cashing nostalgia checks the moment it hits your ears.
We still don't know much about the content, plot or story of this Super Bowl commercial, though we can say that its object of promotion is likely the new RAV4 we see Ms. Cuoco driving in this teaser. The rest of the time she's walking the street in a purple getup granting wishes like Robin Williams on a Disney sound stage. And then the Easter Bunny and a chihuahua enter the picture and we get lost. Clint Eastwood under a bridge this is not.
But hey, Super Bowl ads cost millions and millions of dollars to produce and air, so we trust that Toyota spent its money wisely and will have us ROFLing on game day. Until then, scroll down and witness for yourself the debut of Kaley Cuoco as a Toyota spokeswoman.

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi

Sun, 25 Nov 2012

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.

Toyota recounts past Supra glories

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

It could just be a slow start to the news week around the Toyota offices, but its UK blog has posted a brief history on its legendary Supra sports car. Read into however you'd like, but there has been plenty of speculation as to the return of the Supra nameplate in recent years (including last month from incoming Toyota chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada).
Built from April 1978 through July 2002, Toyota's sports coupe made quite a name for itself as both the Celica Supra (shown above) and the Supra, and the blog post charts many of the changes and highlights through the years. Head on over to the Toyota UK blog to read more about this Supra's history, and then be sure to check out the gallery of images from Toyota spanning all four generations.
