This is a very solid very dependable all original Landcruiser. I have owned it for 5 years and always kept it in the garage and took the best care I could for it. It can be a daily driver. The previous owner had it in a couple of car shows - but I do not have details. There are some rust spots but only on the surface - it has seen some rain in it's days. All seals around the doors are in excellent condition. All windows work. No chips in glass. Doors lock. Original keys and manual. I hate to let this go, but I have to get my garage back. No accidents and no bodywork that I know of - all solid metal and no dents.

It has only been in Wisconsin for 5 years and never driven in winter. Always kept in garage. Small patches (dime size) in a about 10 places. New paint about 10 years ago - starting to fade in some areas but professionally done. Runs strong and drives excellent. Does leak oil in 2 places around transmission but only little spots. No radio, but there is a place for one. Does not burn any oil. All original - no aftermarket anything. Rare near perfect solid FJ-40. All complete, nothing missing. Comes with original manual and jack. I bought it 5 years ago off ebay for over $10k and there were 3 bids competing with me until the end. I have put about 20k miles on it driving my kids around during the summer months. The odometer does not work - all other instrumentation does including wipers, interior light, heaters, vents, lighter, all exterior lights. I do not think the wiper washer fluid works, but all the parts are there. No emissions equiptment in this cruiser.

See my terms for payment. Shipping by car carrier is around $600 in continential US and takes about 3 weeks. I will help with shipping (availible for the load) on my end but you must coordinate setting up with carrier.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.

Toyota's Psy-style Waku-Doki ad inherits Japan's bizarre ad crown

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

A new Japanese Toyota ad featuring crisply suited businessmen driving into the jungle only to segue into a Psy-style music-video dance-off with a gorilla and natives is the latest car commercial to go viral. Jungle Wakudoki is the newest installment in a grand tradition of bizarre ads from the island nation that are by turns hilarious, head-scratching and occasionally even frightening.
Let's face it: My people are weird.
I'm half-Japanese and take suitable pride in my Asian roots, but even I can't figure out what's been slipped into the water coolers of the country's ad agencies much of the time - or the nation at large, for that matter. From Japan's ubiquitous obsession with all things adorable (kawaii) to its offbeat sense of humor and its bizarrely perverse and violent tentacle porn, it's clear there's a lot going on in the culture, and only some of it bubbles up to the surface in its marketing efforts. Much of the strangest and most amazing ads are for non-transportation products (e.g. laundry soap, snacks, energy drinks), but the automotive space has its fair share. This latest Toyota ad had me trawling YouTube for a common theme, trying to make sense of why these spots are the way they are. Scroll down to watch the Toyota ad in question as well as a bunch of other examples of Japan's most bizarre car-related ads and see if you can't find the thread that runs between them. Is it just that something's being lost in translation? Have your say in Comments.
