1982 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 For sale. Entered as 1980 because Ebay will not recognize shorter VIN#

 

This Toyota spent all its life in a dry warmer weather where trucks are prone to rust less and much lower mileage than American trucks.

This truck was totally restored 5 years ago, although the condition before the restoration was pretty clean, with original parts, and mechanical perfect the car had some body imperfections and a frame off restoration was ordered for this truck.  

Since the restoration my dad had put around 25K kilometres on it.

He built his truck to be a reliable vehicle on the top of the driver scale. This truck was a solid rust free start, with stock components.  1980-84 years are the desired FJ40 family trucks. This one being Fj43 is even more rare than the others. The body is slightly larger and it gives a better stance than the fj40. The 2F engine, transmission and differentials are the same.

This particular truck features power steering, factory disc front brakes, 4.10 gears, 4 speed transmission, and very desirable soft top. After 1980 these Toyota trucks had better and prettier doors and overall better design, they also appreciate in value the best.  We have owned this truck since 1992 since then is being driven it often but never hardcore offroad. The next owner can take it up a gravel road, or city driver.  It was built as a museum piece 5 years ago, but now it has small scratches and normal wear from being driven.

The 2F engines along with the 3F engine are the best Toyota Gasoline engines. This truck is very reliable and strong.

 

BODY

This truck is completely rust free. All the panels are clean and steel. There are no funny Aluminum pieces on this truck, FJ40’s are notorious for rust, it is incredible to find rust free trucks like this.

The body is true and straight with no hidden rust, or the common ugly black gravel lining paint underneath of the car to cover rust. The paint is beautiful and shinny, It has 2 small scratches that happened during transportation (they have been retouched, see pic) This truck looks much better in person than in the pics.  New door seals, inner door panels, original Toyota mats are in perfect shape. Seats had been upholstered to original specifications.  

The interior is very clean and in excellent shape, everything works as it should. It has a rare larger jump seats, 6 people can fit comfortable in this truck. Tools and jack are included. The original radio was damaged and the current one is just filling the whole but is not functional.

No heather on this truck, it came like this from factory but one can be easily sourced and installed if needed for colder States.

The Soft top has aged nicely but if desired, a brand new top can be bought for extra $1300 (same beige color and design, light gray can be an option as well). There are no leaks inside when it is raining. I can also source a hard top if you want to go that route.


MECHANICALS

This Fj43 has a stock Toyota inline 2F motor with excellent compression that burns clean. It is low kilometer truck, only 216.000 original kilometers, which is about 135000 ORIGINAL miles. This engines are known to go over 500.000 miles easy. 

I recently changed all filters, coolant, oil and a new water pump installed. The carburetor and clutch were changed for new ones during the restoration.  The clutch, 4 speed trans and case all operate perfectly. Brakes are in good shape.

Original 16 in wheels with tires that still have some tread.  There are no aftermarket installations, therefore no splits on the electrical harness or electrical headaches.

There are no big issues with this truck, this is the type of Toyota you want to buy, honest, rust free stock original.  This truck is a joy to drive and will provide years of trouble free service with proper care and maintenance, but please expect to tinker like any other vintage vehicle from time to time. There is nothing pending to do on this truck at this moment.

This truck is registered in Vancouver BC. I will give you a registration and a bill of sale. It is sold “as is” no warranty.

I require $500 non-refundable deposit in 24 hrs of ending auction. Please pick up between 8 days or advise any delays (I can hold the truck for longer period buy full payment is expected). This car is parked under heated garage. Inspections are welcome.

I can assist to ship this truck to Canada, Mexico USA or any other country as long it is legal to be imported. Please contact me with any question or if want to see the truck in person. Drive test is available for serious buyers.

Please do not bid if you don’t intent to buy or have the funds to pay. If you do not have EBay feedback, please contact me before bidding or I will cancel your bid.

Toyota has 200 orders for 2016 Mirai hydrogen fuel cell car

Mon, Dec 1 2014

Toyota built 500 Lexus LFA supercars between 2010 and 2012 in what Automotive News has called a "secretive workshop." The automaker has been wondering what to do with that production line since the last LFA rolled off in December 2012 and, like so much else for Toyota these days, the answer is a hydrogen car – and in about the same small numbers. The 200 Mirai orders are "mostly from government and corporate fleets." – Masamoto Maekawa The 2016 Mirai fuel cell vehicle will go into production later this month at the old LFA workshop, which is located behind Toyota's Motomachi assembly plant in Toyota City. The skilled workers there have been doing other things (like building bicycles) since the last LFA was finished and now Automotive News says they will hand-build the Mirai so that the car can get the attention to detail Toyota wants and because there won't be that many of the hydrogen cars made for a while. Toyota has already said it will sell only 3,000 Mirai FCVs in the US by the end of 2017 (it won't arrive here until late 2015, with deliveries in Japan starting earlier). With 200 orders already in and a plan to build only 700 in 2015, Toyota is already talking about delivery delays. Toyota's executive vice president for domestic sales, Masamoto Maekawa, said that, "the 200 orders are mostly from government and corporate fleets." Production could remain at LFA Works for a while. One Toyota exec said that even if the company makes 2,000 Mirais a year, that would still be only 10 each day. Doesn't sound like there's going to be anyone working weekends for a while.

10 of 18 midsize SUVs earn 'good' IIHS side impact safety rating

Wed, May 18 2022

It's not terribly surprising that midsize SUVs earned better safety ratings than small SUVs in the latest side-impact tests performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Just how much better they scored, on the other hand, certainly raises an eyebrow. Ten out of 18 midsize SUVs earned the highest rating of 'good' in the stringent new test, altered for vehicles starting with the 2020 model year with a heavier barrier (4,200 pounds) that moves at a higher speed (37 miles per hour) and is fitted with a hard honeycomb frontal structure. By way of contrast, just one out of of 20 small SUVs earned a 'good' score.  SUVs that receiving 'good' scores were the Ford Explorer, Infiniti QX60, Lincoln Aviator, Mazda CX-9, Nissan Pathfinder, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Atlas, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and Volkswagen ID.4. For EV fans, it's worth noting the ID.4 was the only electric vehicle included in the test. The Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse scraped away with 'acceptable' ratings while the Honda Passport, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Jeep Wrangler 4-door, Kia Telluride and Nissan Murano were deemed merely 'marginal' in the tough new test. Only two models — the Mazda CX-9 and Volkswagen ID.4 — earned a "Good" rating in every test category.  Interestingly, the Jeep Wrangler would have scored a 'good' rating if it were equipped with side airbags for the rear seating positions. It would likely be an engineering challenge to equip its removable top and/or doors with airbags, but the lack of that safety feature allowed the head of the rear passenger dummy to hit the vertical support of the top. Otherwise, the Wrangler scored good ratings across the board. The new Ford Bronco, which makes more allowances for side-impact safety, has not yet been tested.  The popular Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride SUVs stand out in the test with 'poor' ratings for driver pelvis injuries. The Nissan Murano, a vehicle last redesigned for the 2015 model year, was the only vehicle tested that received a 'poor' rating for its structure and safety cage. Videos of the tests of 12 of these 18 SUVs can be found on the IIHS' YouTube page.

Scion pondering move upmarket?

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Scion is simultaneously celebrating its ten-year anniversary with the 10 Series models and trying to figure out what to do with itself over the next ten years. Once a go-to consideration for young, first-time buyers who wanted something cool and different, in 2013 it has a model everyone is still talking about in the FR-S, a model few are still talking about in the iQ, and three models in between in the tC, xB and xD that make everyone wonder, "What happened?"
Automotive News spoke to Toyota's North American CEO, Jim Lentz - he was the VP in charge of Scion when it launched - about the options, and Lentz said one of them could be a move upmarket to challenge the established luxury brands that are moving downmarket. "There's going to be a big need in the $25,000 range for a fun-to-drive, nice-looking, value-oriented product," he said, and the FR-S, which starts at $25,255, could provide the platform for Scion to climb up a notch or two in price and perception. An idea like this could conceivably work in tandem with a proposal to move entry-level Scion products over to the Toyota brand - but remember, this is all just ideas on a whiteboard at the moment.
As opposed to an "entry-luxury fighter," the brand could swing back to the other option that was considered when it was formed, directly challenging the Korean makes that have usurped its cachet with first-time buyers. Lentz said Scion could go either way, and the tone of the piece seems to indicate that the final direction is still a ways away from being resolved.
