1997 Toyota 40th Ann. Land Cruiser Base Sport Utility 4-door 4.5l on 2040-cars
Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, United States
|
Selling a rare low mileage well maintained 1997 40th Anniversary Land Cruiser. This is also a low number production (528). I have owned many of these trucks and looked 4 plus years to find this one. I found the truck in El Paso TX and bought it from the original owner. The dealership in El Paso sold the car and serviced. All of the manuals, remote keys, maintenance records and window sticker come with this truck. The truck was totally repainted to factory specs in 2011. Desert sun had taken its due on the paint. This truck has zero rust. Truck has never been wrecked with clean car fax but it also has all of the factory panel badges present. I purchased this truck 2 years ago and had the selling dealership bring everything back to specs. The engine was compression check before delivery and it was perfect. This truck runs perfectly. Windows, sun roof, mirrors, seats all work fine. Local dealership in Myrtle Beach SC has done maintenance since 2012. Why am I selling it…. Just need a truck. This Land Cruiser looks outstanding inside and outside and run great. Replaced in the summer of 2012. Upholstery
replaced on front and back seats with Leather Touch – I did not add the
chockalott brown, as I simply do like the combination. All done in light tan… Rear jump seats were fine and are in storage. 4 new Michelin tires Brake rotors and
pads All fluids was
replaced Cooling system
was flushed; all rubber hoses in the entire water system were replaced New plugs, rotor and distributer cap Valve cover gasket
replaced Head lights – low and high replaced with Silver Star bulbs and interior lights now are LEDs, 2014 Rotor smoothed and pads replaced Air Filter replaced The passenger tail light lens is broken with small dent as I
backed into a pole. Radio antenna motor
needs to be replaced, back door passenger side power lock actuator needs to be
replaced and if you want it perfect the cats should be replaced if you want the
“check Engine” light off. Dealership
checked and all was fine-no effect on performance. |

An early gas-electric hybrid was developed by...Exxon?
Tue, Oct 25 2016We're not sure which aspect of Exxon's 1970s-era efforts to develop advanced and electrified powertrains is the most ironic. There's Exxon, that of the Valdez oil spill infamy, being on the leading edge of hybrids and electric vehicles. There's a boat-like Chrysler Cordova getting 27 miles per gallon. And there's the central role a Volkswagen diesel engine plays in that hybrid development. It's all outlined in an article (linked above) by Inside Climate News, and it's an amusing read. Flush with cash and fearing what it thought was peak oil production in the 1970s, Exxon funded a host of new ventures divisions geared to find alternatives to gas-powered powertrains. In the early 1970s, Exxon lured chemist M. Stanley Whittingham to develop what would become a prototype of a lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Then, in the late 1970s, Exxon pioneered the concept of using an alternating-current (AC) motor as part of a gas-electric hybrid vehicle. The company retrofitted a Chrysler Cordova (yes, that's the model Ricardo Montalban used to hawk) with a powertrain that combined 10 Sears Die-Hard car batteries, an alternating current synthesizer (ACS), a 100-horsepower AC motor, and, yes, a four-cylinder 50-horsepower Volkswagen diesel engine. The result was a rather large two-door sedan that got an impressive 27 mpg. And while US automakers didn't see the potential in the early concept, in 1980 Exxon and Toyota began collaborating on a project that would involve retrofitting a Toyota Cressida with a hybrid engine. That car was completed in 1981, and may have been one of the seeds that eventually helped sprout the concept of the Toyota Prius. Soon after rebuilding the Cressida, Exxon would get out of the advanced-powertrain-development business, as oil prices began to fall in the early 1980s, spurring cost-cutting measures. Cry no tears for the Exxon, though, as what's now known as ExxonMobil is the largest US oil company.

Toyota retires robots in favor of humans to improve automaking process
Sat, 12 Apr 2014Mitsuru Kawai is overseeing a return to the old ways at Toyota factories throughout Japan. Having spent 50 years at the Japanese automaker, Kawai remembers when manual skills were prized at the company and "experienced masters used to be called gods, and they could make anything." Company CEO Akio Toyoda personally chose Kawai to develop programs to teach workers metalcraft such as how to forge a crankshaft from scratch, and 100 workstations that formerly housed machines have been set aside for human training.
The idea is that when employees personally understand the fabrication of components, they will understand how to make better machines. Said Kawai, "To be the master of the machine, you have to have the knowledge and the skills to teach the machine." Lessons learned by the newly skilled workers have led to shorter production lines - in one case, 96percent shorter - improved parts production and less scrap.
Taking time to give workers the knowledge to solve problems instead of merely having them "feed parts into a machine and call somebody for help when it breaks down," Kawai's initiative is akin to that of Toyota's Operations Management Consulting Division, where new managers are given a length of time to finish a project but not given any help - they have to learn on their own. It's not a step back from Toyota's quest to build more than ten million cars a year; it's an effort to make sure that this time they don't sacrifice quality while making the effort. Said Kawai, "We need to become more solid and get back to basics."
Toyota RAV4 EV lease gets cut in half to $299/month
Tue, 27 Aug 2013If you're in the market for a new electric vehicle, now is definitely the time to buy or lease. Following price drops on just about every other EV on the market, Toyota is looking to push a few more all-electric RAV4 crossovers out the door over the Labor Day weekend. The Detroit News is reporting that, through September 3, anyone looking to get into a RAV4 EV in Los Angeles or San Francisco, can get a deal: a $299 a month lease (no word on down payment, though) or zero-percent financing for 60 months for buyers.
The $49,800 RAV4 EV normally leases for twice as much - $599 a month - so this move could be an attempt to sell more of the 2,600 units Toyota has planned to produce. Or maybe, if you thought $599 was a fair price, you can now get two RAV4 Evs. Although temporary, the price drop comes at a time when many other EVs on the market have had their prices reduced, including the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, Smart Fortwo ED and Honda Fit EV, not to mention already low prices for the Fiat 500e and Chevy Spark EV.
