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
locks, mirrors and windows work properly.  All buttons and options work as they should.  A/C, (R134), blows ice cold, and heater works great, including rear heater and controls.  Factory manual included.  Two sets of factory keys with viper alarm included, but alarm is currently not working.  Wiring appears to be hooked up but main fuse is pulled.  I attempted to put a fuse in it which made the alarm sound. Fuse is currently pulled.  It is also equiped with the factory TVSS (Toyota Vehicle Security System) control box is still under driver seat. 

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.

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.

Toyota investing $200M in Southern manufacturing

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

Over the past two years, Toyota has invested more than $2 billion at its North American production facilities, and it apparently doesn't plan on stopping there. To keep up with recent strong sales, Toyota is investing an additional $200 million at its engine plants in the Southern US to increase production capacity of its V6 engines.
The bulk of this money ($150 million) will go to expand Toyota's engine plant in Huntsville, AL, which is currently responsible for supplying engines - four-cylinder, V6 and V8 - to eight of Toyota's 12 domestically produced vehicles. That includes the best-selling Toyota Camry (shown above).
Toyota didn't say exactly what improvements are being made to the plant, but this follows last year's $80 million investment in the plant that is set to be completed by next year raising the engine capacity to 750,000 annual units including 362,000 V6s. The remaining $50 million will go to the casting plants of Toyota-owned Bodine Aluminum in Missouri and Tennessee, which supply engine blocks and cylinder heads to the Huntsville engine plant as well as others in Kentucky and West Virginia.

Toyota demos its TRD Pro Series line [w/video]

Fri, 07 Feb 2014

With a rich history of creating off-road worthy trucks and SUVs and a somewhat bland impression of its brand overall, Toyota has wisely created a line of TRD Pro Series vehicles to spice up its showrooms and newly engage customers. Debuting at this year's Chicago Auto Show before rolling into dealers this fall, the TRD-tuned vehicles include the 4Runner, Tacoma and Tundra, all with added rough-road gear and amped-up looks.
The TRD Pro Series trucks might end up, in many cases, as lifestyle accessories for outdoorsy types, but that doesn't mean they're all show. TRD springs and Bilstein dampers are set up for off-road performance, while skid plates will protect the softish underbellies of these would-be rock-crawlers. The trio all get lifted over stock height, as well, with two-inch gains for the Tundra and Tacoma (lovingly referred to as "Taco Supreme" in the Toyota press release), and an inch-and-a-half rise for the 4Runner.
We detailed all of the changes to the Pro Series vehicles in our original announcement post, and you'll also find more granularity of information in the Toyota press release below. Before you dive in, however, be sure to take in our set of live, action-packed images from the Chicago Show floor.
