1979 Toyota Land Cruiser

This truck is in fairly good condition considering it basically has had no work done to it since I have been the owner. The previous owner added some after market stuff but for the most part, the truck is original. This truck starts and runs extremely well, that is the one thing I love most about it. I used it as a daily driver for a few years and have even taken it on a couple road trips on the highway. There is no significant damage to the truck. No major leaks (one small oil pan leak), no cracks, no burnt oil, no 4WD problems, and no cause for concern while driving at highway speeds (it only has 4 gears, so highway speed is 90-100kmph or 55-62mph).

The one major thing this truck needs is some body work on the rust. There are a few patches along the sides, doors, and fenders. The worst spots are small areas of the driver/passenger floors and the back of the truck near the bumper. The tub also has slight rust damage. The frame itself has no significant rust damage other than some surface stuff, a sanding + undercoating would do wonders. Again, I have tonnes of photos which will give a better idea of the rust which I can link on request.

- Original engine, rebuilt by previous owner (I am unaware of what the rebuild entailed). The miles where most likely rolled back when this was done.
- Clutch was replaced 2 years ago but has only been driven a few times since. The clutch feels very good.
- New thermostat and thermostat housing (old one ceased shut).
- New battery.
- No major work done to the truck other than the clutch replacement.

After market (these things were added by the previous owner and not myself):

- Added to roll bar (easy to remove).
- 3700 Warn winch mounted to front (probably wont be pulling too much but always better to have than not).
- Front bumper and rear bumper altered.
- Stereo system with speakers and CD player, supports auxiliary audio cables.
- 2 auxiliary switches added beside the front vent (probably were going to be used for after market lights at some point).
- Center locking console.
- Tires and suspension.

I would be happy to answer any question or provide any additional photos, so feel free to send a message. Cheers!

Toyota confirms 2014 Highlander is in a New York state of mind

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Toyota has confirmed that it will be showing off the all-new 2014 Highlander at the New York Auto Show later this month. It's been a while since we've heard about the updated Highlander, but given just how long this thing has been on the market, we certainly hope that the list of changes will be more extensive than the new 2014 Toyota Tundra that debuted in Chicago last month.
Currently, the Highlander is offered in both naturally aspirated and hybrid versions, with front- and all-wheel drive. We don't expect the formula to change too much, since sales of the Japanese CUV are still steady - well in line with newer players in the segment like the Ford Explorer, Nissan Pathfinder and GM's Lambda triplets (Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave).
We'll have the full skinny on the new Highlander in the coming weeks. For now, scroll down to read Toyota's incredibly brief press blast.

Toyota Matrix not long for this world?

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

According to a report from AutoGuide, Toyota doesn't have plans to replace the aging Matrix hatchback in the United States after this year. If true, the timing coincides with the replacement for the Corolla, on which the Matrix is based, with that car slated to get its first complete redesign since 2006 (2008 in the US market).
We'd love to tell you how many Matrix models were sold by Toyota in the United States last year, but the automaker chooses to bundle Matrix sales with Corolla sales, so we have no idea. That said, we have to assume sales of the hatchback don't contribute much overall to the total number of Corolla-based machines.
We're also unsure if Toyota will choose to exit the youth-oriented compact hatchback market entirely, or if the automaker will rely instead on its hybrid Prius line and Scion models like the xB and xD.
