Simple, rugged and accommodating. If you’ve come to this page, you certainly appreciate those values. One could make a pretty compelling argument that the FJ60 series is the high water mark at which these values intersect (passengers and cargo). Codes like FJ and 2F have cult followings for good reason. This model is fast cementing it's place in the collector market because of these traits and the Toyota legacy.

This series was made from 1981 to 1987. They came with 4spd manual transmissions and the legendary 2F in-line 6 cylinder engine. Just gripping the steering wheel and shift knob gives a sense of nostalgia. It’s a very purposeful vehicle. Crank windows and a manual tailgate lock are not engineering shortcomings. Instead they were very intentional. They wouldn’t fail after years of use and that holds true today.

Some details on this vehicle almost seem like engineering courtesy. For example, take a look at the back seat heater (see photo). What a cool, simple reliable throw back. The air conditioning, power steering, and head light washers take the edge off a bit. Perhaps a precursor to what the model would become. The power steering is very nice. Subtle, but nice.

History:

This FJ began life in Texas, but found its way to Arkansas shortly thereafter. Warm climates with virtually no snow (but definitely no salt) helped tremendously in its preservation. The last owner stripped it to bare metal during a repaint in 2010/11. All panels were in great shape. They found a couple of small spots of rust on the rear fenders. Each spot was treated the right way with new metal carefully welded in place. The paint job is not show quality, but it is thorough and has held up respectably. This is a very presentable SUV in excellent driver condition. The interior is really sharp too.

Mechanicals:

The mechanicals have been treated with the respect they deserve. The transfer case was rebuilt and new differential bearings installed in 2010, very few miles ago. The exhaust manifold was replaced by performance headers around the same time. The muffler was installed just last March ’13 (even fewer miles ago). She is throaty without being obnoxious and pulls like an ox – 2F torque and careful care. She’s been gargling Castrol synthetic blend to make sure it stays in tip top shape. I don’t know what it is about these FJs, but they almost feel like their muscles are always half flexed - like a rock climber. Ready for what lies ahead I suppose.

The AC went out suddenly last July. Also, the horn does not work. I took it to my mechanic to diagnose both issues. The AC seems to be an accumulator issue. The compressor itself seems just fine. The accumulator is about $45. The horns work fine. It’s a problem with the ground wire. It involves taking the steering wheel off and removing the ground wire(s) to clean or replace. I’ve had the steering wheel off, it should be a pretty easy job.

Quite a few parts come with the vehicle (see picture). They will all be in a plastic tub in the vehicle when purchased.

Cosmetics:
I’ve tried to document the car well with pictures. A couple of items that should be pointed out are the headliner and dash. At the very rear of the vehicle, the headliner has shrunk a bit with age and started to pull away from the rear windows. The dash has a couple of cracks in it and a small piece where the vinyl is gone (see photos). Neither is in terrible shape. The previous 2 owners never felt the need to bother touching them.

Listing Details:

This vehicle was listed before. Autocheck showed a salvage title. That turned out to be erroneous (which explains why none of the last 3 owners knew anything about it). The Arkansas DMV sent the necessary paperwork and Autocheck corrected their database accordingly. The future owner of this truck will be glad this was taken care of.

Throw your family and friends in the back, load up a few fishing poles, bikes other outdoor gear and go for it! This is a low mileage Land Cruiser that runs great, looks just as nice and has plenty of life left. It has seen plenty of nature in its lifetime and I hope it gets to see a few more rivers and lakes! It will certainly be in its element! It would also be right at home in the snow.

If you have any questions or would like to arrange to see the vehicle, please contact me. My cell phone number is (816) 786-7534.

I will not reveal the reserve price out of respect for the bidding process. It is set well below where I imagine the car will sell. So, bid with confidence the amount you feel comfortable spending or take advantage of the buy it now price.

Autoblog Minute: Ford Ranger, UK Mustang, Hyundai Hybrid

Fri, Aug 28 2015

Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over the Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of the Toyota Prius and a new Hyundai. Autoblog's senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the weekly recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of Prius and a new Hyundai. I'm Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute weekly recap. 2011 was the last time we saw Ford's midsize pickup in the US but according to a report from the Detroit News we could see production of the Ranger at the [00:00:30] Dearborn automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant as early as 2018. Ranger could compete with the Chevy Colorado and perhaps revive the compact and midsize pickup market for Ford, but the future of Ranger in the US depends a lot on Ford's ongoing negotiations with the UAW. About 2,000 orders for the 2015 Mustang were placed in the UK, tying up production of the pony car until July 2016. According to details in a press release from Ford UK, [00:01:00] it looks like Brits are a lot like their American cousins, opting for the 5.0 liter V8, with Race Red as the popular color of choice. Photos of the 2016 Toyota Prius leaked generating a lot of buzz over the styling. This fourth generation Prius will have some new competition as spy shots of a new Hyundai also surfaced this week. The car is said to be a hybrid and a bonafide "Prius fighter." Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, [00:01:30] including the latest in FCA rumors for 2016. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.

Toyota recalls 250 vehicles in two separate campaigns

Wed, Feb 18 2015

Toyota is keeping on top of things by issuing two, small recalls on 2015 model year vehicles. The first covers 230 examples of the 2015 Yaris. In the affected models, the bolts holding the rear axle bearing might not be tight enough. If one of these fasteners falls off, it could possibly damage the rear brakes, including the potential of a wheel locking up. The second, even smaller campaign covers just 20 units of the 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro pickups. In the examples delivered to Puerto Rico, they didn't have the correct placard to advise owners of the correct tire size and pressure on the B-pillar. Neither problem has resulted in any crashes, injuries or fatalities. As usual, affected owners will be notified by mail, and Toyota dealers will repair the issues free of charge to customers. Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight tells Autoblog that those letters will go out in mid-March. TOYOTA RECALLS CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2015 YARIS AND TACOMA VEHICLES TORRANCE, Calif., February 17, 2015 – Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., today announced it will conduct a safety recall of approximately 230 Model Year 2015 Yaris hatchbacks and approximately 20 Model Year 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro model pickup trucks. In the involved Yaris vehicles, the rear axle bearing bolts may not have been tightened sufficiently during vehicle assembly. If a bolt is loose and falls off during vehicle operation, the bolt could damage rear brake components, resulting in reduced brake performance or potential wheel lock up, which could increase the risk of a crash. The Tacoma TRD Pro model pickup trucks were distributed to dealers in Puerto Rico without the correct B-pillar tire placard indicating the tire size and recommended cold tire inflation pressure for the front and rear tires. An improperly inflated tire can increase the risk of a crash. Toyota is not aware of any crashes, injuries, or fatalities caused by either condition. Owners of the involved vehicles will receive a notification by first class mail. Toyota dealers will repair the vehicles at no cost to the owner. Detailed information is available at www.toyota.com/recall and by calling Toyota Customer Service at 1-800-331-4331. ### Featured Gallery 2015 Toyota Yaris View 12 Photos Related Gallery 2015 Toyota TRD Pro Series Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner News Source: Toyota Recalls Toyota Safety Truck Hatchback

Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R is road-going version of brand's racing technology [w/video]

Wed, 11 Sep 2013

Did you know that the Yaris is Toyota's best-selling vehicle in Europe? That may help explain to us Americans why the car that's lowest on the company's totem poll here in the US got turned into an all-wheel-drive hybrid track monster for the 2013 Frankfurt Monster Show.
Called the Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R, this three-door pocket rocket isn't just a hybrid making a lot of horsepower - it incorporates technology from Toyota's TS030 Hybrid racecar that competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship series, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Yaris Hybrid-R packs a 300-horsepower, turbocharged, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine under its hood, which should be enough for most speed freaks, but Toyota pairs it with two 60-hp electric motors at each rear wheel (the same ones used in the production Yaris Hybrid that's sold in Europe). That makes total system output an insane-for-this-size 420 hybrid horsies.
But that's not all, as the Yaris Hybrid-R forgoes the traditional battery pack below the rear seats in favor of a supercapacitor, which can both hold more energy and has a much faster power charge/discharge speed than traditional batteries. Paired with the supercapacitor is a third 60-hp electric motor/generator positioned between the engine and six-speed sequential transmission. Its job is to feed the super capacitor energy during deceleration and direct its power to the rear electric motors when more grip and oomph is needed.
