1997 Toyota Land Cruiser Full Time 4WD
Clean Title, Pink In Hand. This is your opportunity to have a nicer Land Cruiser than your friends.
Rare 40th Anniversary Edition
*Sorry no diff locks on this one*

Here's your chance to own an Iconic truck. This is the last year of this body style and they are very difficult to find in this good of condition. The body and interior are overall in very good condition, just a few minor dings/scratches here and there, see pics. Previous owner had this thing for 14 years and all owners have kept it in the garage since new, notice there's no paint fade like you usually see with these model Land Cruisers. To my knowledge there has only been three total owners of this vehicle.

This truck also has a fully boxed frame making it a very solid and safe vehicle. These things are built like tanks. Bullet proof engine and drive terrain, 1 ton axels front and rear (plenty strong enough to handle 35" tires. Famous straight six motor - this is one of the most reliable engines Toyota has EVER built. 300K+ miles is common place on these things, just ask any Land Cruiser enthusiast.

This truck even has the orignal tools, jack, socket set, etc. These are all very rare to find still with the truck, they usually end up in someones garage and never follow the truck.

Cruiser has a lot of new items:
- New BFG All Terrain Tires (top rated for snow) - $1200
- New Alternator
- New air filter hose
- Just had the oil changed, new oil filter, etc. I will smog for buyer
- New battery
- In total I've probably put in over $2000 into the truck in the last year and a half
 
Fully Loaded! Features Include:<br>
- Power everything: steering, windows, seats, door locks
- Sun roof
- Cruiser control
- Tilt wheel
- Tinted windows
- Hitch set up
- Dual  power seats
- A/C & heater work great
- Alloy wheels, with all of the center caps (those usually tend to go missing)
- Leather Interior, great condition for its age.
- Two tone leather that only came with the 40th Anniversary Edition
- Three row seating, 7 passenger
- Removable third row for extra storage
- Roof rack (stock)
- CD Changer & AM/FM Radio (stock)
- Automatic transmission
- Full Sized Spare
- Straight axle front end
- Does come with the original floor mats, they're just not in the pics.

There's only a few minor problems:
- Slight oil leak/consumption. I only have to add a quart a couple of times between oil changes, every 1500 miles or so.
- Power antenna button doesn't work. My mechanic told me it should be an easy fix, but it's not that big of a deal to me. All other power itmes work!
- Sometimes has a squeek in the steering collumn when turning (usually when its cold), I looked it up on forums, just needs to have some grease put on underneath the steering wheel somewhere.
- Driver side visor hangs a little low, doesn't bother me, but if your over 6' tall it might.
- Sometimes the rear passenger side door light comes on as if the door is open even thought it is closed
- That's about all I can think of, really is in great running/mechanical condition.

This truck will make a great daily driver, family car, weekend warrior, camping truck, ski/snow board rig, fishing & hunting truck, build your rock crawler, etc. Your wish is it's command! You will love this Land Cruiser. SOLID SOLID TRUCK. Message with any questions. Thanks for looking.

Toyota's Psy-style Waku-Doki ad inherits Japan's bizarre ad crown

Tue, 29 Jul 2014

A new Japanese Toyota ad featuring crisply suited businessmen driving into the jungle only to segue into a Psy-style music-video dance-off with a gorilla and natives is the latest car commercial to go viral. Jungle Wakudoki is the newest installment in a grand tradition of bizarre ads from the island nation that are by turns hilarious, head-scratching and occasionally even frightening.
Let's face it: My people are weird.
I'm half-Japanese and take suitable pride in my Asian roots, but even I can't figure out what's been slipped into the water coolers of the country's ad agencies much of the time - or the nation at large, for that matter. From Japan's ubiquitous obsession with all things adorable (kawaii) to its offbeat sense of humor and its bizarrely perverse and violent tentacle porn, it's clear there's a lot going on in the culture, and only some of it bubbles up to the surface in its marketing efforts. Much of the strangest and most amazing ads are for non-transportation products (e.g. laundry soap, snacks, energy drinks), but the automotive space has its fair share. This latest Toyota ad had me trawling YouTube for a common theme, trying to make sense of why these spots are the way they are. Scroll down to watch the Toyota ad in question as well as a bunch of other examples of Japan's most bizarre car-related ads and see if you can't find the thread that runs between them. Is it just that something's being lost in translation? Have your say in Comments.

Shuttle-hauling Tundra finds permanent home in science exhibit

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

The idea of lifting a full-size pickup truck completely off the ground by hand might seem as likely as, say, said pickup truck towing a 150,000-pound space shuttle, but... hurray, physics! The same Toyota Tundra that towed the Space Shuttle Endeavour to its final resting place at the California Science Center is now on permanent display there as an exhibit that shows how a lever works.
Like all levers, this exhibit uses a fulcrum allowing people other than Superman to lift the 5,625-pound pickup (plus an extra 1,000 pounds for the rig). That's almost as impressive as the Tundra pulling 17 times its rated towing capacity back in October. Regardless, Toyota is once again cashing in on the publicity stunt and visitors to the science center get a live demonstration of a simple machine - we call that a win-win.

Toyota to offer sedan version of GT 86?

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

Sources in Australia are reporting that we'll be seeing a small, rear-drive sedan from Toyota, based on the GT 86/Scion FR-S. Yes, a convertible variant is still in limbo, but a four-door sedan is in the works. It's unclear if the rumored GT 86 sedan would spawn Scion and Subaru variants (it's hard to cross all ten fingers while you type, but we're having a go).
Working with remarks made by the car's chief engineer Tetsuya Tada in his blog and a rendering from Japanese magazine Holiday Auto, the Australian site Motoring is claiming that the new model's wheelbase will grow about four inches over the current GT 86's 101.2-inch wheelbase.
Besides the larger overall space between the axles, the sedan will offer a more potent engine option over the current 2.0-liter, flat-four. Promising 268 horsepower, which is a big jump over the current car's 200 ponies, the new powertrain will be derived from the Hybrid R setup, shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show. If, like us, you're reaching for the salt, and we don't blame you.
