1997 Toyota Land Cruiser 40th Needs Work! on 2040-cars
Bangor, Maine, United States
|
I am selling this Toyota land cruiser for my son. It has just over 187,000 miles on it. It has been in the family for almost ten years and it has never let us down. With that being said it is getting older and does need some work. Serious bidders only! walk around/drive video
The Good: LOTS OF LIFE LEFT! Motor is strong as well as the tranny 40th anniversary Clean interior Runs Great! Drives straight Reliable! Moon roof 3rd row seating 2.5" Ems stainless header back exhaust Tinted windows Unstoppable Four-Wheel-Drive Factory Lockers It has 1 Michelin 265/70/r 16 spare It has 3 Michelin 275/70 r16 with 3-5k on them Two tone leather interior (see pics) Kenwood head unit Wired for sub No funny smells
The Bad: It has some dents/dings/scratches/rust Rarely something bangs in the front end only while wheels are cut in reverse and it has done it for years... sometimes it will go months without doing it. It has never caused any problems. The rear brake line leaks The bumper is pushed in (see pics) The lockers sometimes stick (They weren't used much) Check engine light is on and has been for years Ice fell off neighbors roof and dinged up (see pics) It need a stainless exhaust bracket welded and possibly new flex connectors eventually Missing front passenger wheel flare (Broken clips I still have it and will include it) Needs one tire (other three have 3-5k on them) Small oil leak never leaves more than a dime size on the ground (it has for about 4 years and it has never gotten any bigger) Dirty engine bay Needs rear hatch handle Drivers side windows slow when cold A/c has a leak and needs a belt Small chip in windshield (see Video) It has been in a small accident (under 5 mph) that only scratched the paint on the plastic ends of the bumper. This was not what pushed the bumper in. The bumper was pushed in by an ice covered snow bank.
As you can see I am being as honest as I can about the issues that it has... With that being said this vehicle has been driven around by my family and I for almost a decade and has never left us stranded. My son is still driving it to school. Sold as is with no warranty. The buyer is responsible for transporting the vehicle. Paypal Only! Non refundable $500 deposit due within 24 hours of auctions end and full payment due within seven days of auctions end |

Toyota asking NHTSA for fuel cell car safety exemption regarding electric shocks
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Toyota is requesting an exemption from federal safety regulations that govern electric cars as it prepares to launch a small-scale hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle fleet.
The Japanese automaker is targeting Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 305, which covers the packaging of high-voltage parts in electric cars. According to Uncle Sam, these systems need to be isolated so that passengers and first responders aren't electrocuted in the event of a crash. That seems pretty smart, but it's become a problem for Toyota's upcoming production fuel cell vehicle, as the mechanism that prevents electric shocks in low-speed crashes will apparently simply keep Toyota's car from even functioning.
Instead of the federally approved system, Bloomberg reports that Toyota plans to insulate the high-voltage wires and cables in the car, along with shielding electrical components like the fuel cells, electric motor and batteries with (presumably non-conductive) metal barriers.
Toyota recalling 342k Tacomas due to faulty seatbelt pretensioners
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Toyota is voluntarily recalling 342,000 Tacoma Access Cab pickups, produced between 2004 and 2011. The wide-ranging recall is due to faults in the screws that attach the belt pre-tensioner to the belt retractor. There are concerns that the screws can loosen themselves over time, especially if the access door is opened and closed with too much force. It's important to note that the recall only covers the driver and front passenger seat, and is limited to just the Access Cab trucks. Other body styles aren't affected.
If the screws come loose, the pre-tensioner and retractor spring could separate from the belt entirely, which would be bad news in a crash. There's no mention of injuries or accidents due to the faulty pre-tensioners. Owners affected by the recall will be notified soon, and asked to come in for recall service.
2014 Toyota 4Runner revealed at Stagecoach Music Festival
Sat, 27 Apr 2013Toyota has just pulled the sheet off its updated 2014 4Runner at the 2013 Stagecoach Music Festival near Palm Springs, California. Toyota is the title sponsor at the festival, and claims that this is the first ever global reveal of a new automobile at a major music festival. We're also guessing this is the first time that the 4Runner has seen duty inside what looks like a vintage circus act's cage.
We can see from the photos (and the earlier teaser images) that the body-on-frame SUV has received a freshened look with new smoked light fixtures front and rear, along with a reworked front fascia and grille. The profile view seems largely unchanged, though there are new wheel patterns on offer.
The 4Runner will continue to be offered in three trims, including SR5, more luxurious Limited, and off-road-ready Trail specification. Both 4x2 and both part- and full-time 4x4 models will continue to be available, all will be powered by the same 4.0-liter 270-horsepower V6 and five-speed automatic as last year.
