1999 Toyota Land Cruiser Locked And Ome Lifted on 2040-cars
Dallas, Texas, United States
|
You are bidding on a fantastic 1999 Toyota Land Cruiser that I have owned for the last 8 years. I just finished restoring my 1989 Toyota FJ62 and unfortunately I cannot keep both Land Cruisers. I have two kids in daycare and a two car garage and just can't afford or justify keeping one of my cruisers permanently out of the garage. I hate to see her go but I'm sure someone else will enjoy it more than I am these days. The truck is fully loaded on the interior with leather, sunroof, heated seats, heated mirrors, cruiser control, dual air bags and tinted windows. The cruiser does have third row seats so you have plenty of room for family and friends. I cleaned and conditioned the interior leather on a regular basis with Leatherique (great product even if you don't buy my cruiser). The leather does show some wear in places but check out the pictures to see how clean and well kept the interior is maintained. The carpet and carpet mats have not seen a single shoe print in 8 years due to front/rear Husky Liners. I believe you will agree the interior of the vehicle is in amazing shape. The truck has not been smoked in since I've owned it but there are two small burns in the carpet (one in the far rear cargo area and one near the front driver side carpet). Most people would not notice but just want to be up front about any possible issues with the truck. If I were keeping the truck I could certainly replace the radio since the stock CD/Tape player is finicky on whether or not it wants to play CDs (I know I'm showing my age due to the fact I even own CDs). I just replaced the stereo in my FJ62 and it's so much nicer with satellite, bluetooth, etc...can't believe I haven't replaced the stereo in this cruiser. While we are on the topic of the radio the automatic antenna doesn't automatically retract anymore but it just never bothered me enough to fix. The exterior of this cruiser is in excellent shape as you can see by the pictures. I had the truck fully detailed at least once a year to keep both the exterior and interior in top shape. The cruiser is factory equipped with center and rear locking differentials for added traction off-road (this truck did not see off-road but it did come in handy during a few Dallas ice storms). This cruiser is equipped with a an OME lift, Slee differential drop kit and OME shocks up front. The previous owner did not install the OME rear coils to keep the stance of the cruiser level. I am including the brand-new coils and OME shocks in case the new owner would like to install the rear coils and shocks. You can read about the full lift kit at Slee Off Road and also research on the IH8MUD forum if you would like additional information on Land Cruisers (Ebay no longer allows links in descriptions but you can find both Slee and the forum with a quick Google search). In addition to the lift the cruiser has 18x9 ATS wheels with 325/60R18 Nitto Terra Grappler tires. The set of tires has ~20k miles on them but you can see by the pictures there is plenty of tread left. Due to the size of the tires If you have the wheels cut all the way either direction and hit a bump there is slight rubbing. My first set of Terra Grapplers lasted almost 50k but keep in mind I only put 8k miles per year on the cruiser with no long trips or offroad driving (I know it's a shame I haven used the cruiser for it's intended off road purpose). In 2008 when the vehicle was parked a neighbor backed into the rear quarter panel. The damage was promptly fixed through Toyota of Plano and I've had no issues at all with the work. Please view all of the pictures and let me know if you have any questions. Other than replacing the oxygen sensors I have not had a single issue mechanically with this truck in 8 years. You will notice the truck is freshly detailed but I asked them not to clean anything in the engine compartment so you would see as-is condition. It's a little dusty in the engine compartment but no leaks or issues of any kind that I'm aware of. Below is a list of the major upgrades / maintenance performed on the truck:

This Irishman really likes the Toyota GT86
Sun, 10 Feb 2013Okay, okay - by this point in time just liking the Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ, what have you) doesn't make you special. Even if you're a sort of funny sounding, funny looking Irishman, who probably isn't the most seasoned car reviewer ever, digging the GT86 is not news.
However, if, when you choose to publish your ten-minute-long review, you include exclamatory phrases about your own pubic hair, Ozzy Osborne's drug habit and "gentleman vegetable stuff," well sir, then you'll have our attention.
Don't give up on this video, available down below, after the first couple of minutes, we implore you. The silver-tongued Irishman doesn't really get warmed up until four minutes in, or so. Believe us, it's worth the wait.
Toyota Matrix discontinued for 2014
Mon, 05 Aug 2013Between its slow sales and the upcoming redesign of the closely related Corolla sedan, things haven't been looking good for the Toyota Matrix (for some time now). After 10 years on the market, Toyota has officially announced that it will drop the Matrix from its US lineup following the 2013 model year.
The announcement was made as a part of a press release breaking down what's new for Toyota in 2014, but for now, it doesn't look like any Toyota-branded product will fill the Matrix's spot. The Matrix and its sister car, the defunct Pontiac Vibe, were the final vehicles developed under the joint venture between Toyota and General Motors, an arrangement launched back to 1984.
Toyota gives up more information on Frankfurt-bound Yaris Hybrid-R concept
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Toyota has undeniably carved out a niche for itself as the industry's leader in hybrid propulsion. What started out with the original Prius in 1997 has, over the past sixteen years, ballooned to what Toyota reports as a global hybrid portfolio of 23 models. But few (if any of them) are particularly exciting.
That's where the Yaris Hybrid-R concept comes in. Set to be showcased along with the rest of Toyota's hybrid and fuel-cell lineup at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show next month, the concept starts with one of the Japanese auto giant's least exciting models and upgrades it to more enticing territory. Toyota Motorsport GmbH - the same Cologne, Germany-based division that operated the company's F1 team, currently runs its Le Mans program and gave us that bonkers 650-horsepower Lexus LS - has slotted in a version of Toyota's new 1.6-liter Global Race Engine and paired it with a couple of electric motors for hybrid propulsion and through-the-road all-wheel drive.
Like the TS030 Hybrid LMP1, the Yaris Hybrid-R concept uses a super capacitor (instead of a conventional battery) to store the regenerated brake energy and give it upwards of 400 horsepower. That's about all Toyota is revealing at this point, but this is the first time it has confirmed the project is based on a Yaris, of all things, and the confirmation comes with the solitary teaser rendering you see above. Check out the press release after the jump and watch this space for more as Frankfurt fast approaches.
