Hello, let me start by saying that I realize how stressful it can be to buy anything sight un-seen. I don't think a paragraph & 1 or 2 pictures is enough to accurately describe an item of any kind, let alone a motor vehicle. I understand that you may be in a different state or even a different Country & therefore are unable to come view this RARE Land Cruiser in person. I want you to know everything I know about anything I offer for sale. For that reason, my postings tend to be a little on the long side. I also post 24 super sized pictures. Please take the time to read the item description & view the pictures. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. All will be answered promptly. I have sold vehicles to buyers all over the world. All members who have bought from me have been extremely pleased with my performance & with the items they have purchased from me, I'm sure you will be as well.

Description- THIS IS A HARD TO FIND MODEL!!!!! This Toyota came equipped with factory front & rear electric LOCKERS! Very very rare!

 I purchased this FJ80 two years ago to use as a parts vehicle for another Cruiser I had. 99% of the parts on this Toyota a usable, as it was being driven daily when the previous owner had her accident. I ended up selling my other FJ without ever taking a single part from this one. I kept it with the plans to turn it into a street legal, rock crawler / mud buggy / Off-Road rig. With very little effort & far less expense, you would have a toy that is way more capable & a lot more fun than a Polaris RZR! This buggy will be street legal all over the World! These Cruisers are capable of covering some of the roughest ground on Earth. Take it coast to coast. Explore South America. Or the Yukon! Many people take them on African Safari or to the Australian Outback. They are super tough vehicles!

 The engine  in this one is extremely tight & still runs great, even after sitting for 2 years! As you can see, this vehicle has been wrecked. The previous owner hit a concrete culvert with the front right tire. The impact was hard enough to pull the CV ball right out of the end of the front axle housing on that side. It bowed the housing slightly but the locker still works as it should. It also bent the control arm on the right front. No mounting points show damage. This is a case of... it looks worse than it really is... I have the front hub put back together to allow the vehicle to drive on & off of a trailer or transporter for shipping. However, there is no steering. The front differential housing will need to be replaced, should you decide to rebuild this vehicle. All of the internals seem to be fine. The brakes are working.

 The frame does not appear to have been bent or tweaked at all. The only real damage seems to have been to the right front inner fender / fender support, the fender itself, the front bumper & other misc front end trim. And of course, the axle housing & control arm. The driver hit the windshield so it is broken & in the rear floor board.

 There is various other damage around the body which appears to have beem prior to the accident. It looks bad but I believe the truck can be put back on the road without much effort. 

 The interior is all there, including the jump seats. I had a tarp over the windshield but it appears some moisture & leaves etc... still got in. The carpet, front seat covers, front door panels etc... show signs of water damage. Yet, the engine controls were NOT damaged. The truck will still fire right up & run smooth with no smoke, knocks, ticks, etc... And there are NO check engine or other warning lights on. The electric locker control switch works as it should. As do the locker indicator lights. Both the front & rear electric lockers are working as they should.

 The transmission will take forward & reverse gears. The transfer case shifts as it should.

 Remember, this vehicle was female owned & daily driven up until the day of the crash.

 

Drivetrain- This vehicle is powered by the legendary 4.5 liter, in-line 6-cylinder, fuel injected 1FZ-FE gasoline powered engine. Toyota has been building some form of this engine since the early 1960's. They have improved & refined their design over the last decades until finally unveiling their masterpiece with this version. It is one of the most powerful & definitely the most reliable of them all. It performs with all the guts you need to tackle tough terrain, yet still enjoys AMAZING fuel economy!

This Cruiser is showing a very low 196,712 miles. This engine runs as good as the day it was born. I can find no problems at all. No hard starting even on the coldest mornings. You can let this car sit for days & go out, hit the key & this big 6 cylinder instantly comes to life. The oil pressure comes right up. I see no major fluid leaks. There are no abnormal noises. Nothing but smooth power.... Even on 2 year old gas!

I am a factory trained Toyota Technician & have personally serviced cruisers with well over 700,000 miles that were still going strong without ever having had any major repairs.

The power plant in this FJ should take you many more dependable miles!

The transmissions in these Cruisers are as tough as everything else. I have never seen one with a transmission problem, EVER.

 And you don't see many with the rare locker option.

Mechanically this entire vehicle seems to be in excellent condition.

Body & Frame- This is a life long Southern vehicle so there is absolutely no rust or corrosion on anything anywhere. The door, hood, trunk hinges & latches are nice & tight. The under side of the vehicle is dirty but everything is tight & free from corrosion.

Options- It would take me an hour to list of of the options found on this Flagship Toyota. With the presence of the extremely rare factory lockers, you can bet that it has EVERY single option you could get in 1994!

Tires & Wheels- This SUV is equipped with a set of factory 15 inch, alloy wheels. All four are in good condition! No curb rash or bent places. All tires hold air but are worn. The factory spare looks as if it has never touched the ground. The factory jack & tool kit are present.

Title- I have a clean, clear, fully transferable GA title on this vehicle. The accident was not reported to the police or insurance & thus there are no records of it on CarFax or AutoCheck. Everything is clean. You can transfer ownership right now. With a little work this Cruiser will be ready for the road in no time. This is my personal vehicle so there will be no tax. I DO NOT charge a doc fee or any other fees like most sellers on eBay do. What you bid is what you pay.

* This is a TRUE auction!

* NO RESERVE!

* Low starting bid!

* You set the final price!

* Bid what you think the Cruiser is worth to you!

* If you are the high bidder at the end... YOU WIN!

BIDDING- Please only bid what you are prepared to pay for this vehicle. Anyone wishing to inspect the it or have it inspected is welcome to do so but inspections must be completed prior to bidding & prior to auction's end. If you have little or no feedback please contact me prior to bidding. I realize everyone has to start somewhere & welcome your business but I must verify that you are a serious buyer if you have little or no buying history. I have encountered a couple of crooks/ scammers here on eBay who have cost me both time & money. This will no longer be tolerated so if you are not a SERIOUS buyer, PLEASE MOVE ON. All members with a genuine interest in this vehicle are more than welcome to ask questions. All will be answered promptly. If you look at my feedback comments you will see that all of the REAL buyers have been very happy after dealing with me. Many of the comments are from people who have been very happy with Cruisers they have bought from me.

SHIPPING- Shipping costs & arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer. However, I have assisted buyers & their shippers in the pickup of several vehicles over the years. I can recommend several shippers who have performed well for buyers in the past but you will have to make your own arrangements with them. I will work with you & your shipper so that they can get this SUV to you as fast & cost effectively as possible. However, no matter where you live or how you choose to pay, the legal point of sell will be here in Jackson County Georgia as that is where I live & where the vehicle is located. As always, you are more than welcome to pick this vehicle up in person. I can assist in loading it on your trailer at no charge.

This Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 80 is truly a rare find. These trucks are TOUGH & stand the test of time! This one needs some work but it is a great start to an amazing rig! Remember... NO RESERVE!

Thanks for your interest in my Landcruiser!

I hope you win!! JD

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.

Toyota engineer warns automous cars could increase fuel use, urban sprawl

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

An increasing number of people are starting to consider the potential downsides of a transition to autonomous cars. The FBI is already looking at them for the potential ill effects on law enforcement, and a scientist for Toyota is raising the possibility that driverless vehicles could actually be detrimental to the environment over the long term.
Ken Laberteaux, who studies future transportation for Toyota, thinks that autonomous cars could lead to more pollution, not less, says Bloomberg. However, Laberteaux's theory isn't so much based purely on science as it is considering behavioral and historical trends. "US history shows that anytime you make driving easier, there seems to be this inexhaustible desire to live further from things," said Laberteaux during a presentation at the Automated Vehicles Symposium in San Francisco, CA, cited by Bloomberg.
Laberteaux's belief is that if commuters can make their drives easier, then they will be more willing to live farther away from the cities where they work. The end result would be more urban sprawl and increased pollution from the longer travel times.

2015 will be the biggest year ever for cars at CES

Fri, Jan 2 2015

Like the SEMA Show, major automakers are paying increasing attention to the CES, with 2015 expected to be one of the most auto focused yet. Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, General Motors, Hyundai, Mazda, Audi, BMW and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will all be in attendance when CES 2015 kicks off next week, taking up a record-breaking 165,000 square feet of space at the Las Vegas Convention Center. "We've come a long way from a single car on a carpet," Ford's Alan Hall told Bloomberg. Unlike SEMA, or a more traditional auto show, like the upcoming festivities in Detroit, CES doesn't necessarily focus on entire cars or the way they perform, but on the way our technology will interact with vehicles, and in how those vehicles will deliver information to drivers. "CES has become a major launch point for a lot of the big automakers," IHS tech analyst Mark Boyadjis told Bloomberg. "CES is a way for them to get on a global stage for technology." As for what kind of wares automakers will trot out in Las Vegas, we already know that BMW will show off an autonomous i3 electric car that can navigate its way through a multistory car park and can be hailed via a smartwatch app. According to Bloomberg, Hyundai will show off its own smartwatch app for the Genesis sedan, while Audi and Mercedes-Benz will show off autonomous vehicles next week. Automakers won't be the only companies looking to capitalize on CES. Tech firms, like chipmaker Nvidia, are becoming increasingly involved in the automotive game and will be in town showing their wares off to OEMs. "Two years ago, our booth would have been filled with PCs and people playing video games," Danny Shapiro, Nvidia's senior director for automotive business, told Bloomberg. "This year we made a strategic decision to shift the focus of the booth on automotive and de-prioritize some of the other things." Needless to say, you can expect to see a lot of news out of Las Vegas come next week. Stay tuned.
