NO RESERVE AUCTION!!  High bid wins!

You are viewing my 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80. 

This is a very, very, very clean CarFax certified, no rust California raised, garaged and well maintained Land Cruiser.

I bought this Cruiser from SoCal where it was garaged its entire life and owned by 3 family members (CarFax shows 4 but it's only 3) most recently the son-in-law.  First with his mother-in-law, then his brother-in-law and then previous owner (son-in-law) got the cruiser with 110k miles.  After a year or so he added a 2.5" OME lift, new BFG All-Terrains 285/75/16 and a rear tire carrier and Yakima Load Bars and Axxis front bumper.

Sorry. No front & rear lockers. Stock center diff lock only when in low range.

The really cool thing is the mother-in-law installed Land Cruiser seats covers, only available overseas, at the time of purchase and the leather seats didn't see the light of day until recently when I brought the cruiser home.   Therefore the seats are almost perfect. I tried to take detailed photos but they are probably better in person than in the photos. Totally awesome.

Only a few small blemishes on the inside, very minor.  All leather near perfect.  Steering wheel leather near perfect as well as gear shift lever.  No fake wood dash here, nice clean look.  Everything works including, the PWR, 2nd gear start, OD buttons, etc.  All power windows works great as do the door locks and sunroof and it doesn't leak. Power seats function flawlessly.  The only issues are the power antenna motor works but the antenna is missing (stock radio still tunes fine and play CD's). The "D" light is burned out and the left side bulb that illuminates the dash is burned out.  The driver side sun visor needs a little help staying in the up position. I use a little clip.  Those are the only issues on the interior of this cruiser.  It's simply nicer than most you've ever seen.

The original paint is in fantastic shape with very few scratches here and there and one small dent in the tailgate (all in photos below).  No accident history or past bodywork.  You might be amazed at the overall condition of this cruiser.  Zero rust.  Stock alloy wheels look great with new OEM center caps.   Tires around 50% tread with brand new spare currently under the truck but can be mounted on the rear tire carrier. Roof rack side rails removed and holes plugged using info from an IH8MUD thread.  Front knuckles/birfields look great. No leaks to speak of and just had new brakes at all four corners and a recent service including oil, lube, filter and a few fluids.  New EGR transducer & temp sensor and catalytic converters at 172k. New rear main seal and crank seal at 159k. Full tune-up including cap, rotor, plugs, wires etc. at 181k. It runs, drives, shifts, brakes just great.  In my opinion it drives better than some cruisers with less miles.  The PHH has been replaced and no HG issues. It really is a pleasure to drive.  Axxis front bumper with winch mount (no winch) which is just a few years old.  Yakima load bars with faring. Receiver hitch.  Maui Toyota license plate frame on front bumper for show. It's never been to Hawaii.

Rear swing out tire carrier included but not currently installed. Full size spare currently mounted under the cruiser in the factory position.

I am selling because I found a Lexus LX 450 all stock with "diff locks" in pretty nice condition.  It was a tough choice to sell this superb cruiser. But I plan to add the OME lift and BFG's to my Lexus but it will never hold a candle to this 80 series.

Toyota Tacoma X-Runner dead

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

A report from last week indicated that Toyota will begin trimming models from its Tacoma lineup starting with the Regular Cab in 2015, but the popular pickup will lose its first variant even sooner than that. For 2014, the Tacoma X-Runner has been dropped, though the company's SR Package could fill the need of those looking for a sporty pickup.
The X-Runner has been around since 2005 with its lowered stance, aftermarket-look body kit and bright paint colors, all of which are offered available only on V6-powered, two-wheel-drive Access Cab Tacomas. The new SR Package sounds like it will offer a somewhat similar appearance, though, with a monotone exterior paint scheme in limited colors accented with smoked headlights, but it will only be offered on Pre-Runner and 4x4 models. Other changes being made to the 2014 Tacoma include a new wheel option with black finish, a wider variety of Entune multimedia features, and the option to have the backup camera display moved from the rearview mirror to the audio system head unit.

First Toyota unintended acceleration case headed for trial

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Toyota is going to be back in the spotlight, as the first of its unintended acceleration lawsuits is headed for trial. This case covers a Los Angeles sushi shop owner, Noriko Uno. According to the what the family told The Detroit News, Uno only put about 10,000 miles on her 2006 Toyota Camry in four years. Uno was apparently afraid of high speeds, avoiding the freeway and taking a route home along LA's surface streets to avoid them.
On August 28, 2009, Uno's Camry suddenly accelerated to 100 miles per hour, eventually striking a telephone poll and a tree and killing her. The family contends that Uno attempted to step on the brakes and pull the emergency brake, neither of which brought her speed under control, while Toyota maintains that improperly installed floormats and driver error have been behind the majority of the 80 cases expected to be heard in court.
In Uno's case, The Detroit News is expecting the trial to focus on the lack of an override if the gas and brake pedals were pressed at the same time. Brake overrides were installed on Toyota's European fleet. The Uno family attorney will need to prove to the jury that it wasn't driver error that killed Noriko Uno.

Toyota, Mercedes, BMW top automakers included in List of Best Global Brands

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Interbrand, a consultancy firm, has published its 13th annual list of the best global brands. Besides seeing some shakeups at the top - Apple and Google unseated Coca-Cola (a company that has dominated the survey since its birth), the 100-item list features 14 automakers, most of which enjoyed double-digit gains in brand value.
Toyota managed to retain its spot as the study's top automaker. It finished the survey in 10th position overall (the same as last year), despite a 17-percent improvement in its brand value, from $29.33 billion to $35.34 billion. Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Honda all made the top 20, at 11th, 12th and 20th place, respectively. Hopping a ways down the list, we come across Volkswagen in 34th place, up from 39th in last year's study, with a brand value of $11.12 billion, a 20-percent improvement over 2012. Ford and Hyundai round out the automakers in the top 50, at 42 and 43.
Porsche made the largest year-over-year gain of any automaker, with its brand value increasing 26 percent to $6.47 billion. Chevrolet meanwhile, cracks the list for the very first time at 89th place. As Interbrand notes, Chevy's inclusion is notable because of the sheer number of vehicles it moves for General Motors and its recent push in developing markets. The final interesting note on this survey is the position of an automaker that takes its name and logo more seriously than perhaps any other - Ferrari. The Italian exotic manufacturer finished 98th out of 100, with just $4.01 billion in brand value, a six-percent improvement over 2012.
