Hello, my name is John Goubeaux and I am selling my 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser.  I have owned this Cruiser for 13 years, purchasing it in December of the year 2000.  It has served me well and has been a ton of fun but it is time to move on due to the circumstances of life.  I hope she goes to a good home.  I bought this truck in Buffalo New York and brought it back to Columbus Ohio as a play toy and creative project.  Over the last 13 years I have poured much into this cruiser, both money and soul, developing it into what you see here today.  I have only put 882 miles on this Cruiser over those last 13 years. 


About the truck: The Cruiser retains its original 4.2 liter straight 6 cylinder with a two barrel Rochester carburetor.  Both the engine and carb were professionally rebuilt and the truck runs great.  The 4 speed manual transmission. All gears work smoothly.  The exhaust flows through a FlowMaster muffler and into custom split pipes.  Modern wiring harness and kit do the electrical duty with the fuse box stowed in the glove box.  Ring-lit LED push buttons for the front and rear flood lights and the high/low windshield wiper speed settings. There is even a 12 volt auxiliary plug in the dash for a cell phone/mp3 charger, etc.  A modern rear view mirror with dual map lights was also fitted for night time convenience.  New LED tail lights and side marker lights just look awesome at night, as do the new aftermarket front marker lights and housings (these are the high quality Japanese replacements).  New starter, plugs, wires, rotor, etc.  Four wheel disc brake conversion, braided steel brake lines with a brake force distributor. NEW 35 inch Goodyear Wrangler tires I just put on the truck (about 60 miles on them - except for the never used 5th spare that sits on the equally new baja tire rack.  Power steering conversion as well with a heavy duty power steering cooler mounted in front of the new radiator.  All aluminum body tub. The metal up front is all original and rust free, professionally painted in 2011.  The frame is also professionally custom made (made by Powell Racing) and runs aft of the front engine mounts, square tube, triple painted black, complete with drain slits.  The rear bumper is actually part of the frame with a 2 inch receiver built into it as well.  The suspension is Rancho RS5000s paired with "Old Man EMU" 6 inch lift off-road leaf springs.  Hunsaker racing seats and RJ 5 point racing harnesses. Both seats also slide and recline.  Aiwa radio (AM/FM/CD/with a front 3.5mm input jack) to a pair of NEW Rockford Fosgate PUNCH aluminum wake-boarding speaker cans.  The cans are two-way separates (mid-ranges/tweeters) 
 
Also included are: soft half doors, soft full doors, two bikini tops (one bikini is brand new) and a full soft top.  The full top needs a zipper fixed on a flap.  The pictures speak for themselves.

The Cruiser is located in London, Ohio (about 20 minutes west of Columbus). If close and serious enough, I welcome interested buyers to come and see her.  I stand behind my truck as I do my reputation.  Check my feedback and bid with complete confidence.  Please write with any questions; if you are a serious buyer I will give you my phone number or give me yours with good times to call. 

~John Goubeaux.

Land Rover, Toyota big winners in ALG top resale value awards

Tue, 18 Nov 2014



"Residual value is important for automakers and consumers because it's a complete indicator of the vehicle's future value." - Larry Dominique
Toyota and Land Rover took home the top brand honors in ALG's 2015 Residual Value Awards, which will be presented this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Toyota delves into the history of its Land Cruiser

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

One of the longest-produced, most widely distributed vehicles in all of automotive history is also one of its most rugged: the Toyota Land Cruiser. With 60 years of continuous production, 14 different model lines and thousands of variations of the Jeep-like sports utility vehicle, the Land Cruiser became a success worldwide and developed a cult following among enthusiasts here in the US.
We'll be the first to admit that tracing the vehicle's lineage from its humble beginnings as a prototype for Japan's National Police Reserve in 1951 to what it is today isn't an easy task, especially when one considers that the types of Land Cruisers produced traditionally have varied from market to market. For example, the Land Cruiser sold in the US is very different from the US-only 40 series Land Cruiser-inspired FJ Cruiser, which is itself different from the Land Cruiser Prado sold in other world markets.
To cover the Land Cruiser's sixty-plus year history from start to present, someone over at Toyota UK was thoughtful enough to devote a plus-size blog post to it. It's worth a read if you have a spare 10 or 15 minutes - and even if you don't, you can check out our historical gallery above. Enjoy!
