1994 Toyota Land Cruiser Diff Locks Only 73k Miles! 3rd Row, Gray Leather Fzj80 on 2040-cars
United States
OVERVIEW: This is a very well kept example of unmodified 1994 FZJ80 Land Cruiser with only 73k miles, 3rd row seats, and optional front and rear Differential Locks. I recently bought this FZJ80 to build up for off road use, but it is so clean I can't bare to alter it. I will attempt to explain to the best of my knowledge in detail the condition of everything. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me via email. If you'd like leave me your number, we can talk over the phone. HISTORY: I've only owned this vehicle for a month or so. I purchased it from a gentleman in San Jose, CA who had recently inherited it from the passing of his brother. He stated his brother had owned it since it was "almost new". He also stated this was only one of seven cars he had just inherited from his brother inluding a bunch of high end sports cars and that when they were not being driven they were garaged in what he said was a huge 10+ car garage, (hence the low mileage, and condition). Clean title and pink slip is in my name and in hand. It looks as though I am the 4th owner. The third owner was the guy I bought it from and he had it since 10/17/13. His brother, 2nd owner, had it since 4/2/97 with 47k miles. EXTERIOR: Color is Dark Emerald Pearl Green. Appears to be the original paint with no signs of clear coat fading. There are a handful of tiny paint touch up spots on different areas of the vehicle apparently from the previous owner. Has factory roof rack, factory running boards, factory mud flaps, tow package with wiring harness. See link to pictures for all details of any imperfections that caught my eye. INTERIOR: Gray interior is very clean. There is no evidence of tabacco / smoking use. Leather Seats are in great condition including the 3rd row seats, with power seats working in all directions. Driver seat has the most wear but no rips or tears, (see picture link). Carpet is very clean throughout with factory floor mats for front, middle, 3rd row, (had never seen the narrow 3rd row floor mat before) and rear cargo mat. Door panels and headliner are very clean. All interior and dash lights work as they should, (even the often burned out "D" light still illuminates on the dash!). Sunroof tilts and opens/closes as intended. I poured water down all four sunroof drains and they all flowed to the grounds smoothly. All power SUSPENSION/RUNNING GEAR/TIRES: It appears to have the factory coil springs with very clean, (or perhaps newer), Bilstiens in all corners. The 4.5L inline 6 runs smooth, and A442F transmission shifts smoothly. Power steering works well with no issues. Coolant is red in color, consistant with factory Toyota coolant. Engine oil is full, with no signs of water/coolant mixing. Brake, Auto Transmission, transfer case, front/rear axle fluids are all properly full with no signs of over use, neglect or metal filings. No apparent coolant, oil or gear fluid leaks. Front axle knuckles look clean and free of leaks. No engine codes or check engine lights. Air filter is the factory Toyota washable type. Tires are Toyo Open Country 275/70R16 and look practically new, with lots of tread, (see pictures) with no cupping or uneven wear marks. Factory spare has Michelin 275/70R16 in factory location. Factory jack and tool kit included. DRIVE/4WD: It accelerates and drives fantastic down the road at all speeds, no shimmies, shakes or pulling to either side. The ABS power brakes operate properly and stop great. Four Wheel Drive; The 4wd low shifts as it should which activates the CDL and ABS lights to illuminate on the dash. Both the front and rear differential lockers activate within a matter of seconds. When activating the front or rear differential the selinoid can be heard activating each locker which changes each blinking light on the dash to stay on solid. Lockers and 4wd hi/low both work great! PAYMENT: $500 due via paypal within 3 days of auction end, (if you don't have paypal, contact me before bidding and we can work something out). The remaining balance due upon vehicle pickup in for the form of cash, cashiers check or money transfer, (we could even meet at a bank if you prefer, I've heard bad stories about fake cashiers checks). SHIPPING: Winning bidder will need to make arrangements for picking vehicle up from my location. I reserve the right to end auction early since the vehicle is available for sale locally too. Currently California smogged, and in smog cert in CA database which is good for 90 days. Smog performed on 2/18/2014.

Toyota unveils two new small displacement engines
Thu, 10 Apr 2014Toyota introduced a pair of brand-new engines in Japan today, that it says will eventually spawn 14 different variants by 2015. Where these two engines stand out in today's world, is that neither mill boasts direct injection, and both are naturally aspirated.
The larger of the two is a 1.3-liter, while the smaller engine, a 1.0-liter, was developed in collaboration with Daihatsu. What makes these two unique is that they both use the Atkinson cycle. Now, we aren't going to bore you by explaining just what this is - there's Google for that. Suffice it to say, Atkinson engines are highly efficient, but that efficiency comes by sacrificing power. That's why they're so popular in hybrids, which can offset the power losses.
This focus on fuel efficiency extends throughout the new engines, which also benefit from tweaks like a cooled exhaust gas recirculation system and a trick intake port, while the 1.3 employs Toyota's iE variant of variable valve timing. Both engines can be fitted with stop-start tech. According to Toyota, when fitted with stop-start the 1.3 should provide around a 15-percent bump while the 1.0-liter will increase economy around 30 percent, when they arrive on the road.
Lexus, Mazda win KBB 5-Year Cost To Own Awards
Wed, 05 Feb 2014We focus a lot on what new cars are like to drive, but it's difficult on a one-week loan to really get a sense of what a car is like to live with. Sure, we try to recreate that sense with our long-term vehicles, but even after a year, it's impossible to know fully learn about a car, particularly in terms of reliability and cost of repairs. For 2014 model year vehicles, Kelley Blue Book has put together a list of the most affordable vehicles over a five-year period.
At the tippy top of the list are Mazda and Lexus, with the Zoom-Zoom automaker winning the award for best non-luxury brand. Lexus, meanwhile, was the most affordable luxury marque over a five-year period. It's interesting to note, though, that not a single Mazda won its segment in this year's awards.
General Motors did quite well, taking eight segments, including both the subcompact and plug-in segments, with the gas-powered Chevrolet Spark and Spark EV. The Chevy Camaro SS and ZL1 took the high-performance car award. Toyota was well represented, with five winners split between the main brand (Corolla, Prius C and Tacoma) and Lexus (LS and RX).
TMG's super Lexus LS Sports 650 gets track tested
Thu, 05 Sep 2013The people at Toyota Motorsport GmbH have been responsible for the Japanese automaker's motorsports efforts since the 1970s, but since Toyota pulled out of Formula One after the 2009 season, the tuning shop has been developing a super sedan based on the Lexus LS called the Sports 650. Details on TMG's first road car have been scarce, but XCAR was recently invited to drive the 641-horsepower Lexus on track.
Here's what we know: the Sports 650 has enough power to sprint to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds, tops out at 199 mph, weighs over two tons and utilizes LFA brakes. Oh, and its twin-turbo V8 bellows like an AMG V8. That last part isn't surprising when considering TMG could become Toyota's in-house tuning arm - like AMG is to Mercedes-Benz. As for the bespoke body kit, fender flares and stacked exhaust pipes? They fit the car well and even remind us a bit of Lexus' other high-performance sedan, the IS F. Currently there are no plans for the Sports 650 to be made into a production car, but we doubt TMG is devoting this much effort developing the LS into a road-rocket for nothing.
Check out XCAR's video below to see the AMG-fighter wrung out on track, and then ponder what could be if TMG were let loose to fiddle with other cars in Lexus' lineup. Now that's something we could get used to!
