1989 Fj75 Troopy Troop Carrier Landcruiser Australia on 2040-cars
Glendale, California, United States
Recently imported FJ75 from Australia,
right hand drive. Titled in California. This 1989 was very well kept and up to
strict Australia Road Worthy standards before its export. No leaks and in great
running condition. I imported the Troopy through Washington, picked it up and
drove it home without issue. Fluids are all fresh with only one small rust spot
by the windshield. Extremely great shape for an 89. Five-speed transmission,
full floater rear and a professionally installed dual-fuel system for gas and
propane. Tons of upkeep work with AU receipts and it handles to show it. Very
rare in the USA. Three seater with belts and an open bed ready for an overland
build out. Solid axle cruiser never offered in the USA but with a reliable,
stock 3F engine to make parts sourcing simple. New vent fan, all stock switches
and levers work except AC. 1252 miles on gas system and about 50 on propane,
both appear to be in great working order. Has tow rated hitch, plug ins and tow
brake. KNOWN ISSUES AC system appears to be in working
order but switch appears to need cleaning/replacement. LightForce light works
when hard wired so just needs new switch or relay. The speakers have bad static
and click in and out, but work great when direct wired, just need fresh lines
run to radio. One of the rear door panels needs new snaps and there are some
dents on the exterior of the back doors and rear left roof line. All easy
access to bump out and repair, nothing to compromise function. Can be seen in
the pictures. ARB compressor switch can be seen in pictures as well, but is not
attached to anything. Needs tires. They have some run life left but no more
then a few thousand miles.

2014 Toyota Tundra Platinum 4x4
Wed, 26 Feb 2014The Toyota Tundra is the automotive version of off-brand Cheerios: it doesn't dominate the market, and it's not the first model people think of when they hear the term "pickup truck."
Ford, General Motors and Ram dominate the segment with vehicles that offer ridiculous levels of towing and payload capacities and models loaded with luxury items and primed with tech-rich engines. The off-brands, meanwhile, are led by the Tundra, which while still accounting for six-figure sales (112,732 units in 2013, up from 101,621 in 2012), sits well behind the F-150s and Silverados of the world. After our first drive of the revamped 2014 Tundra, we came away thinking this truck is a total underachiever, aimed at placating Toyota loyalists and doing little to win over new customers.
But everybody deserves a second chance, and we thought a week's drive in a different environment might lead to a different - or at least a more fully realized - opinion. While the Tundra might not be an industry leader, it still makes it on many truck buyers' shopping lists. So, should you consider this off-brand pickup truck? To find out, we borrowed a top-of-the-line Tundra Platinum for a week. Read on to see what we found.
Lexus gets new boss, and he's a designer
Wed, 26 Feb 2014A reshuffle in the uppermost ranks of Lexus could see the Japanese luxury brand further energize its recent focus on design. Tokuo Fukuichi, Toyota's global design boss, is the new head of Lexus International.
Fukuichi will retain his role as the overall head of design for Toyota, Lexus and Scion, and will assume his new position at the head of Lexus and on its board on April 1 (no fooling). This is going to be an interesting move for fans of design to watch, as Fukuichi has repeatedly been mentioned as a designer that enjoys pushing the edge of the envelope and experimenting. He is, after all, the man responsible for designing the most awesomely odd minivan of the 1990s, the mid-engined, rear-drive Toyota Previa, and more recently, he signed off on the controversial Lexus LF-NX concept, which is said to presage a new production small crossover.
"Regarding changes in design, no one has 100 percent confidence," Fukuichi told Forbes back in January 2013. "No one can really say with pure certainty that, 'In two years, this will sell well.'" As Akio Toyoda continues to demand more assertive, edgier designs, it's that point of view that should make Fukuichi a valuable addition to Lexus, as it continues to challenge the competition from Germany.
Toyota must go to trial over unintended acceleration suits
Tue, 08 Oct 2013Toyota is surely readying its trial lawyers, as the Japanese giant is officially headed to court in a pair of cases relating to its unintended acceleration fiascos of 2009 and 2010.
In the first case, the United States Supreme Court has actually got involved in matters, ignoring an appeal from Toyota that attempted to use an arbitrator to settle its California lawsuits. The automaker will now go to trial to face owners of 2010 Prius models over an alleged defect with the anti-lock braking systems, which plaintiffs say made the cars more difficult to stop, according to Bloomberg.
The second trial is a bit more in depth, covering the case of Ida St. John, an 83-year-old from Georgia, that crashed her 2005 Camry in 2009. The accident is believed to have played a part in her death, although the suit, being filed by her grandson, doesn't actually place blame on Toyota for her death.
