Condition: Body is solid without any large dents, has some minor rust in rockers side and rear, common for early Cruisers.  Paint needs to be refreshed.  This was the next step in the restoration just haven't gotten to it.  Interior is Good, the seats have had Indian covers since we purchased it, and it SLEEPS IN THE GARAGE.  V8 Conversion has less than 500 mile on it, we only drive it occasionally in Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons.  We leave the top off and wait for good weather.  It is a blast to drive and has LOTS of POWER!!

Features:  Completed a Chryler V8 Conversion w/ Automaic and Jeep two speed transfer case also Ford 9" Custom Posi rear end.  Preserved the original wheel bolt pattern.  Chrysler conversion has oil filter on passenger side and eliminates the need to alter stock steering.  Torquer Camshaft, performance; heads, induction, oil pump.  Built it for performance and reliability, not to radical.   New Aluminum 3" radiator with electric cooling fans, heavy duty trans cooler, new brakes.  Hard top with full height doors included, they have side windows that crank up and down, included as well are rear side by side doors. Also new soft top, never put on, just purchased about a year ago.  Stock Roll Bar.  Dual heaters one front and one rear. Email me if you have questions, I probably forgot somethings.

History:    Purchased from original owner  in the late 1970's early 1980's can't remember exactly, it's been a while.  We have owned it ever since.  Started the V8 conversion in 1990's always hated the SMOG straight 6 in this model, the 1970 Cruiser I owned had the non smog version and I really liked that motor. Finished conversion about 5 years ago.  Haven't driven 500 miles since the conversion, purchased a 66 Cad. Conv. and drive that with my wife now better ride.  The 76 Cruiser had a tree limb fall on front drivers side hood and fender and insurance fixed it in the 80's and the paint oxidized few years later, not a good body shop repair. It has never rolled, or been in a flood, never even rubbed hard on rocks.  Went to Moab Utah once in the 80's and loved it but haven't been back.  A lot of memories tied up with the kids when they were young, just not driving it any more.  Not looking for just a buyer.... but a good home for the "Bruiser" as we call it.

Toyota prices TRD Pro Tacoma, 4Runner

Fri, 01 Aug 2014

Toyota is finally all set to drop more details about the upcoming off-road ready TRD Pro Series models of the 4Runner, Tacoma and Tundra after first revealing them in February. These trucks and SUV might not get the big engine and other mods that desert-stormers like the Ford F-150 Raptor have, but they are still a nice step up over the stock versions. All of the TRD Pro vehicles come as 4x4 models with Bilstein shocks with remote reservoirs in the rear, TRD front springs, skid plates, black wheels, retro-inspired "TOYOTA" badging and TRD-branded floor mats and shift knobs on the inside. They're available in three colors: Inferno, Attitude Black Metallic and Super White.
The Tacoma hits the market first in early August with prices starting at $35,525, plus $885 for delivery, processing, and handling, for an Access Cab V6 with a six-speed manual. Opting for a five-speed automatic brings things up to $37,390 after the destination fee. A Double Cab with a manual goes for $37,320, or $38,300 for the automatic, after the delivery charges. The 4Runner follows in September with just a single trim priced at $41,110 - $41,995 after the charge - for the V6 and five-speed auto.
Toyota is holding off on revealing more about the Tundra for now. It's coming in the fall, but the company isn't announcing prices yet. We don't have to wait long, though. "Within the next month we'll reveal that," said Toyota spokesperson Sam Butto to Autoblog about the TRD Pro Tundra's price.

Lexus LX to get diesel engine?

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Australian consumers appear poised to get another diesel-burning luxury SUV in the near future, and word is it's coming from Lexus, of all automakers. Sean Hanley, chief executive of the company's branch in Oz, recently told Aussie website Drive that he's "pretty confident" that the new engine for the LX is getting the green light.
Like in the US, the LX in Australia is currently only offered with a 5.7-liter, gasoline-burning V8. However, sales of the big SUV are presently minuscule Down Under, with Drive reporting just 153 LX570s sold in all of Oz last year. Hanley is negotiating with Japan to get the new diesel in hopes of boosting flagging sales. If his efforts are successful, it would be the first diesel engine offered in a Lexus there. Hanley didn't specify exactly which mill the SUV would get. However, given the LX's close relationship with Toyota Land Cruiser, the diesel 4.5-liter twin-turbo V8 already available in the Toyota in markets outside of North America seems like a natural choice.
Don't expect the variant to be hopping across the Pacific, though. Lexus spokesperson Allison Takahashi tells Autoblog she has heard "nothing" about an oil-burning LX coming to the US. That's not a huge surprise, though, because neither Toyota nor Lexus offer any diesels in their lineups today. Also, Lexus has only sold 1,981 LX570s through June, which only placed it ahead of the LFA supercar in the brand's sales. It's probably just not worth certifying the engine for such a low-volume model.

Toyota reports huge quarterly profit increase, raises forecast for the year

Sun, 04 Aug 2013

Toyota isn't just the world's largest automaker - so far its the biggest winner for quarterly profits. With an enormous $5.5 billion take during Q2, Toyota took advantage of the weak Japanese yen and strong US demand to record a 94-percent improvement in profit over the same period from last year. So far, Toyota brought in larger profits than Ford and General Motors combined.
Toyota is showing no signs of slowing down either, as it has bumped up its forecast for full-year global production, going from 9.94 million to 10.12 million vehicles, on the back of a 13-percent drop in the buying power of the Japanese yen versus the US dollar. That strong exchange rate is largely responsible for Toyota's big jump in profits, although it also managed to shift 1.3 million vehicles in the US market this year. Strong Camry sales have also helped. But while Toyota is raking in the cash, it actually saw a small drop in market share, down 0.1 percent to 14.3 percent of the US market.
As is the case with most automakers, Toyota seems flummoxed by Europe, where it recorded less than one percent of its revenue. Still, as Automotive News points out, Toyota only maintains a 4.5-percent market share in Europe and is far less dependent on the continent than other manufacturers. Toyota also struggled at home, much like Honda. With 525,777 units sold, JDM sales were down almost 51,000 units, although Toyota still saw its operating profit jump from $3.5 billion to $4.6 billion.
