Hello again!

I'm relisting my Cruiser, and here are some updates: 
- I had the couple small body blemishes professionally repaired (they also painted the entire roof, it looks great!)
-  I just renewed the registration, so it has almost a full year.
-  I lowered the Reserve (I will post what the reserve is 1 day before the auction ends).


The VIN number on this Land Cruiser is BJ61004178.  Hello fellow Land Cruiser fans!  I hate to say it but I have to let my 1985 BJ61 Toyota Land Cruiser go because I just don't have room for it.  My garage is packed and because this Cruiser deserves to be garaged I've had to cram her in there without extra space.  I've owned this for about a year (yes, this was posted about a year ago) and have been using it as a daily driver (garaged every day).  It's been amazing to drive this Right-Hand-Drive Diesel without a single problem for the last year.  I've put about 2,000 miles on it since last August.  What a head turner!!!! Almost every day people point at me driving on the "wrong" side.  I have the clean California title in my name and it's registered as a Diesel (no smog, ever).  Super low miles of only 103,683.  The interior looks brand new, there really isn't anything to note on blemishes (dash has factory cover and is crack-free).  I also own a 2002 Tacoma with fewer miles, and yet the Land Cruiser shifts and drives way smoother and nicer than the Tacoma.  The cruiser fires up about as fast as you can turn the key on and off (see video).  I've used the 4x4 gently on some forest roads, and it worked flawlessly.  It has new Pro-comp Rock Crawler wheels with 32-inch Yokohama Geolander tires.  A new ARB safari rack comes with it, I currently have it off because the Cruiser won't fit in my garage with it on (I will re-install after action).  The undercarriage has be treated with Raptor coating.

My daily driving which is a 12 mile commute 50% highway 50% city, I've been averaging 22MPG (driving 70 MPH on the highway). On a trip last fall where i\I drained the tank on all highway driving I got 29MPG (cruising at 70 MPH)!!!!! 

This Cruiser has been a blast to drive (nicknamed her Yoshimi).  How smooth it drives and gas mileage have put smiles on my face.  This is the 3B diesel, no turbo -- it is by no means "fast".  But it gets up to speed just fine and cruises down the freeway.  I love starting it because it fires so fast, and hearing that sweet growl of the diesel.

I'm a mechanical engineer, and have re-built cars/trucks with my dad since I was able to walk.  When I first saw this Cruiser, I immediately popped the hood, inspected the entire engine compartment, then crawled under the rig and inspected everything.  There were no oil leaks, seeps, weeps or any indication of wear and tear on anything.  I was amazed and instantly sold on just this status. Oh, and I think the PTO (power take off) winch is the coolest thing every (my Jeep buddies are super jealous of this fully-functioning winch).

Overall, the body and chassis is super clean and in really good shape. I just had a couple blemishes professionally repaired.  they did an excellent job and went ahead and painted the entire roof, so this cruiser is very straight!

So i thought of a few more things.  2000 miles ago ALL fluids were replaces (transmission, power steering, brakes, clutch, differential, water, oil, etc). the entire engine and transmission were inspected and maintenance done by a great diesel mechanic. The Toyota 3B engine is known for going upwards of 300,000 miles without issue (google it, even Wikipedia describes the engine well) if you have any concerns with getting parts, you have nothing to worry about this company: www.SOR.com, has EVERYTHING (for instance the 2 tailgate recieving tabs i got from them).  they are really fair priced and very helpful.  and last but not least, i uploaded some pictures of the undercarriage and interior;  its really this clean! the interior is almost mint, no rips tears or anything to note. wood steering wheel has a really nice feel to it as you drive. all power everything works (even the antenna goes up and down smooth) the locks SNAP faster than most new cars (really, i feel like this thing was built to last forever!!!)  anyways, i just wanted to address any questions you might be having and so on.  and please, continue to feel free to ask me anything.

here are a couple videos:

Thank you for looking, any questions please feel free to ask, I will respond ASAP, Good Luck!

 Thanks,
 Jake

MotorWeek remembers retro icons, Supra and NSX

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

It's easy to poke a joke here and there about John Davis, the long-time host of MotorWeek. His voice is so monotonous that, from time to time, if you closed your eyes, you may think it's generated via a computer. But you have to give him and the rest of the show a lot of credit. The program has been on the air for decades, giving people direct, straight-down-the middle automotive reviews.
MotorWeek's massive back catalog of reviews are slowly making their way onto YouTube, and they provide a fascinating chance to look back on how performance cars rank against their contemporaries from back in the day. Two recent additions include the show's old looks at the 1986 Toyota Supra, the dawn of the third-generation model, and the now-iconic 1991 Acura NSX.
Both reviews are interesting in their own way. These days you hear nary a negative word about the original NSX, but MotorWeek isn't afraid to point out a few flaws. And the Supra really shows the progress of suspension tuning in the intervening decades because it has some serious body roll in the corners. Scroll down to check out both videos and get a blast from the automotive past.

Couple survives 50-foot fall from overpass in Toyota

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

It doesn't matter the make or model - modern vehicles are technological miracles when it comes to occupant protection. Take this story out of New York City, which involved two people going for a very wild ride in a Toyota Matrix.
Carlos and Raquel Broadbelt were on the Cross Bronx Expressway overpass when they hit a patch of ice while dodging a pothole, sending them hurtling into a guardrail and over the side of the overpass. They fell 50 feet onto the road below. Despite the catastrophic accident - and the mangled Toyota - both driver and passenger walked away. The couple spent a night in the hospital just for observation.
The Broadbelts' miraculous survival has even surprised doctors, who told Dave Carlin from CBS New York they'd never seen an accident like it. Take a look below for the full news report from CBS New York.

BMW, Toyota outline new tech joint venture, new sports car

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

Back in June, Toyota and BMW announced a "memorandum of understanding" outlining plans for the two companies to join forces on future products and technology development. On Thursday, they signed a more formal and binding agreement that goes further into detail about the partnership, and it all sounds pretty exciting. The two announced they will work together in four main areas:
Joint development of a fuel cell system
"Set up a feasibility study to define a joint platform concept for a mid-size sports vehicle"
