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. While this Cruiser is not a show truck, with some time and passion, she is not far off.

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 shifts as it should. All gears work smoothly. The exhaust flows through a FlowMaster muffler and into custom split pipes. At idle, this truck has a mean "burble" and sounds even better rolling down the road. A "Highway 15" 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 (rears connected, front are KC's that come with the truck but not mounted), and the high/low windshield wiper speed settings. I retained the pull knob for the marker/head lights (although the pull knob is new). 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. for smooth motoring. Four wheel disc brake conversion, braided steel brake lines with a brake force distributor for safely stopping the 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 heavy double duty radiator. This Cruiser is NOT covered in diamond plate, rather it is an all aluminum body tub that rests from the firewall back; transmission hump, floorboards, etc. all aluminum. 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. Not that you would want to hang the truck from a tree...but knowing that you could. The suspension is Rancho RS5000s paired with "Old Man EMU" brand: 6 inch lift off-road leaf springs. Hunsaker racing seats and RJ 5 point racing harnesses keep you safe and comfortable. Both seats also slide and recline. For tunes, I hooked up a simple yet effective 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) and can handle plenty of power if you so desire to hook-up an amp capable of supplying them. They come with their weather zip-sacks as can be seen in some of the pictures. I recently finished-out some detail work on the Cruiser including blacked-out Land Cruiser badging on the front quarter panels and a Toyota badge on the rear right. I figured since I was selling her, she might as well take everything with her.

Also included are a set of soft half doors, a set of soft full doors, two bikini tops (one bikini is brand new) and the original full soft top. The original full top, although complete, is old and dingy and does not do the truck justice when fitted. The original rear view mirror, dash pads, original dash pull-switches, aftermarket license plate bracket, Land Cruiser books/manuals/bible, new hard door pins, the original front and rear heat radiators, vent/radiator housing, blower motor, etc. I removed the heater with the idea that an 8 inch sub-woofer would someday occupy that space. The blower motor and radiators are in fine working condition. I even have an all aluminum tail gate that closes off the rear of the truck when wanted or fitting the full top to the truck. All other miscellaneous parts I have will also been included - the only parts I can not find are the windshield wiper arm sleeves that were removed when the truck went to be painted. I have not missed them because the truck has never seen rain...or mud or been off-road for that matter. 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.

Toyota Camry could lose No. 1 sedan spot next year [w/video]

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Eleven months after Toyota claimed the 2012 sales crown a couple of months early thanks to the Camry, the headlines this year have been quite a bit different to last. Even though the Camry remains the best selling car so far in 2013 and its volume has increased year-on-year, it has lost market share due to the 20-percent sales explosion in the midsize segment. That means people are buying more of the competitor offerings like the Honda Accord, Nissan Altima and Ford Fusion - the Altima, in fact, outsold the Camry by 100 units in March.
In July it was reported that Toyota was upping Camry incentives and fleet sales to keep its lead and that dealer inventory was climbing as, again, competitors got better at fighting the champion. In August Ford doubled down on production of the Fusion, adding a line in Flat Rock, MI to keep up with demand.
Bloomberg has a report looking at the numbers behind the Camry's dominance, as well as what appears to be a recorded group interview with Toyota USA CEO Jim Lentz, and wonders aloud whether the Camry will be able to hold its top spot in 2014. Barring catastrophe it has this year locked up, being more than 30,000 sales ahead of the next-best seller as of the end of August, but it has done so with higher incentives and lower transaction prices than its competitors. According to Strategic Vision the Camry's consideration rate among consumers has also declined by a percentage point, while the consideration rate for the Accord and Fusion has increased by one point and two points, respectively.

VW is world's second-best-selling automaker, GM falls to third

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Every year when we start talking about which automaker is the biggest in the world, there always seems to be at least a little bit of controversy. For 2013, Toyota handily took the top spot with 9.98 million sales, but it's the runner up spot between General Motors and Volkswagen that is starting to create a stir.
Based on our earlier report, GM's 9.71 million vehicles put it in second place ahead of VW's 9.5-million-vehicle effort. Now, The Detroit News is reporting that VW is claiming a tally of 9.73 million sales, including figures from MAN and Scania - heavy-duty truck divisions under the VW AG family. The article points out that Toyota's sales figure includes its Hino line of trucks, but these might still be considered light-duty vehicles while MAN and Scania build tractor trailers.

Toyota recalling 11,200 Scion iQ models over faulty passenger sensors

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Toyota has announced a voluntary recall of 11,200 Scion iQ models from the 2012 and 2013 model years. According to the manufacturer, the problem with these pint-sized hatchbacks concerns the front passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) weight sensor cables.
The OCS sensors in the front passenger seat control the operation of things like the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner. In these affected models, the cables for these sensors located in the seat track can become damaged as the passenger seat slides forward and backward. And if the cables are damaged, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner may not function properly.
No injuries or crashes have been reported in conjunction with this issue.
