NO RESERVE AUCTION!!  High bid wins!

You are viewing my 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80. 

This is a very, very, very clean CarFax certified, no rust California raised, garaged and well maintained Land Cruiser.

I bought this Cruiser from SoCal where it was garaged its entire life and owned by 3 family members (CarFax shows 4 but it's only 3) most recently the son-in-law.  First with his mother-in-law, then his brother-in-law and then previous owner (son-in-law) got the cruiser with 110k miles.  After a year or so he added a 2.5" OME lift, new BFG All-Terrains 285/75/16 and a rear tire carrier and Yakima Load Bars and Axxis front bumper.

Sorry. No front & rear lockers. Stock center diff lock only when in low range.

The really cool thing is the mother-in-law installed Land Cruiser seats covers, only available overseas, at the time of purchase and the leather seats didn't see the light of day until recently when I brought the cruiser home.   Therefore the seats are almost perfect. I tried to take detailed photos but they are probably better in person than in the photos. Totally awesome.

Only a few small blemishes on the inside, very minor.  All leather near perfect.  Steering wheel leather near perfect as well as gear shift lever.  No fake wood dash here, nice clean look.  Everything works including, the PWR, 2nd gear start, OD buttons, etc.  All power windows works great as do the door locks and sunroof and it doesn't leak. Power seats function flawlessly.  The only issues are the power antenna motor works but the antenna is missing (stock radio still tunes fine and play CD's). The "D" light is burned out and the left side bulb that illuminates the dash is burned out.  The driver side sun visor needs a little help staying in the up position. I use a little clip.  Those are the only issues on the interior of this cruiser.  It's simply nicer than most you've ever seen.

The original paint is in fantastic shape with very few scratches here and there and one small dent in the tailgate (all in photos below).  No accident history or past bodywork.  You might be amazed at the overall condition of this cruiser.  Zero rust.  Stock alloy wheels look great with new OEM center caps.   Tires around 50% tread with brand new spare currently under the truck but can be mounted on the rear tire carrier. Roof rack side rails removed and holes plugged using info from an IH8MUD thread.  Front knuckles/birfields look great. No leaks to speak of and just had new brakes at all four corners and a recent service including oil, lube, filter and a few fluids.  New EGR transducer & temp sensor and catalytic converters at 172k. New rear main seal and crank seal at 159k. Full tune-up including cap, rotor, plugs, wires etc. at 181k. It runs, drives, shifts, brakes just great.  In my opinion it drives better than some cruisers with less miles.  The PHH has been replaced and no HG issues. It really is a pleasure to drive.  Axxis front bumper with winch mount (no winch) which is just a few years old.  Yakima load bars with faring. Receiver hitch.  Maui Toyota license plate frame on front bumper for show. It's never been to Hawaii.

Rear swing out tire carrier included but not currently installed. Full size spare currently mounted under the cruiser in the factory position.

I am selling because I found a Lexus LX 450 all stock with "diff locks" in pretty nice condition.  It was a tough choice to sell this superb cruiser. But I plan to add the OME lift and BFG's to my Lexus but it will never hold a candle to this 80 series.

Autoblog Podcast #317:

What would you drive in 1985?

Wed, May 6 2020

Bereft of live baseball games to watch, I've turned to the good ship YouTube to watch classic games. While watching the 1985 American League Championship Series last night, several of the broadcast's commercials made its way into the original VHS recording, including those for cars. "Only 8.8% financing on a 1985 Ford Tempo!" What a deal! That got me thinking: what would I drive in 1985?  It sure wouldn't be a Tempo. Or an IROC-Z, for that matter, despite what my Photoshopped 1980s self would indicate in the picture above. I posed this question to my fellow Autobloggists. Only one could actually drive back then, I was only 2 and a few editors weren't even close to being born. Here are our choices, which were simply made with the edict of "Come on, man, be realistic."  West Coast Editor James Riswick: OK, I started this, I'll go first. I like coupes today, so I'm pretty sure I'd drive one back then. I definitely don't see myself driving some badge-engineered GM thing from 1985, and although a Honda Prelude has a certain appeal, I must admit that something European would likely be in order. A BMW maybe? No, I'm too much a contrarian for that. The answer is therefore a 1985 Saab 900 Turbo 3-Door, which is not only a coupe but a hatchback, too. If I could scrounge up enough Reagan-era bucks for the ultra-cool SPG model, that would be rad. The 900 Turbo pictured, which was for auction on Bring a Trailer a few years ago, came with plum-colored Bokhara Red, and you're damn sure I would've had me one of those. Nevermind 1985, I'd probably drive this thing today.   Associate Editor Byron Hurd: I'm going to go with the 1985.5 Ford Mustang SVO, AKA the turbocharged Fox Body that everybody remembers but nobody drives. The mid-year update to the SVO bumped the power up from 175 ponies (yeah, yeah) to 205, making it almost as powerful (on paper, anyway) as the V8-powered GT models offered in the same time frame. I chose this particular car because it's a bit of a time capsule and, simultaneously, a reminder that all things are cyclical. Here we are, 35 years later, and 2.3-liter turbocharged Mustangs are a thing again. Who would have guessed?

5 stars in Euro NCAP crash tests for 5 new cars available in U.S.

Wed, May 22 2019

Seven new cars have received a full five-star rating in the latest Euro NCAP crash tests. Of these, five are available in the United States: the Audi E-Tron, Lexus UX, Toyota Corolla, RAV4 and Mazda3. The Renault Clio and the Volkswagen T-Cross also took part, also receiving five stars. The Mazda3 hatchback was the fourth car in Euro NCAP history to reach an adult occupant protection score of 98%, after the Volvo V40 and XC60 and the Alfa Romeo Giulia. No NHTSA ratings for the Mazda3 or the Audi are yet available, but the Lexus and the Toyotas have all received five-star NHTSA safety ratings as well. Those three were tested as hybrid variants by Euro NCAP. Audi's first fully electric vehicle, the E-Tron, scored 91% in Euro NCAP's adult occupant rating, with unavailable knee airbags bringing down the score. The Mazda and the Toyotas offer them for the driver only, and the Lexus has the passenger's knees covered as well. The Lexus UX managed a 96% adult occupant score, close to the Mazda, and it provided better pedestrian safety (82%) than the Audi (71%), despite neither, or none, of the test vehicles having an active hood to catch pedestrians. As for the Toyotas, the Corolla, tested in both sedan and hatchback guises, scored 95% for adult occupant safety, with the RAV4 a couple notches down at 93%. Still, the five-star rating means all these vehicles are a very safe choice in their respective classes. Michiel van Ratingen, secretary general of Euro NCAP, states how important it is that even family hatchbacks perform well and have the latest safety tech available. "It is encouraging to see that all manufacturers did well, regardless of type of powertrain or class of vehicle tested," said van Ratingen. "New cars on the market continue to offer more advanced technology as standard, systems that were not even considered an option a few years ago." More crash test videos are available on Euro NCAP's YouTube channel. Audi Lexus Mazda Toyota Car Buying Safety audi etron lexus ux
