Hello, let me start by saying that I realize how stressful it can be to buy anything sight un-seen. I don't think a paragraph & 1 or 2 pictures is enough to accurately describe an item of any kind, let alone a motor vehicle. I understand that you may be in a different state or even a different Country & therefore are unable to come view this RARE Land Cruiser in person. I want you to know everything I know about anything I offer for sale. For that reason, my postings tend to be a little on the long side. I also post 24 super sized pictures. Please take the time to read the item description & view the pictures. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. All will be answered promptly. I have sold vehicles to buyers all over the world. All members who have bought from me have been extremely pleased with my performance & with the items they have purchased from me, I'm sure you will be as well.

Description- THIS IS A HARD TO FIND MODEL!!!!! This Toyota came equipped with factory front & rear electric LOCKERS! Very very rare!

 I purchased this FJ80 two years ago to use as a parts vehicle for another Cruiser I had. 99% of the parts on this Toyota a usable, as it was being driven daily when the previous owner had her accident. I ended up selling my other FJ without ever taking a single part from this one. I kept it with the plans to turn it into a street legal, rock crawler / mud buggy / Off-Road rig. With very little effort & far less expense, you would have a toy that is way more capable & a lot more fun than a Polaris RZR! This buggy will be street legal all over the World! These Cruisers are capable of covering some of the roughest ground on Earth. Take it coast to coast. Explore South America. Or the Yukon! Many people take them on African Safari or to the Australian Outback. They are super tough vehicles!

 The engine  in this one is extremely tight & still runs great, even after sitting for 2 years! As you can see, this vehicle has been wrecked. The previous owner hit a concrete culvert with the front right tire. The impact was hard enough to pull the CV ball right out of the end of the front axle housing on that side. It bowed the housing slightly but the locker still works as it should. It also bent the control arm on the right front. No mounting points show damage. This is a case of... it looks worse than it really is... I have the front hub put back together to allow the vehicle to drive on & off of a trailer or transporter for shipping. However, there is no steering. The front differential housing will need to be replaced, should you decide to rebuild this vehicle. All of the internals seem to be fine. The brakes are working.

 The frame does not appear to have been bent or tweaked at all. The only real damage seems to have been to the right front inner fender / fender support, the fender itself, the front bumper & other misc front end trim. And of course, the axle housing & control arm. The driver hit the windshield so it is broken & in the rear floor board.

 There is various other damage around the body which appears to have beem prior to the accident. It looks bad but I believe the truck can be put back on the road without much effort. 

 The interior is all there, including the jump seats. I had a tarp over the windshield but it appears some moisture & leaves etc... still got in. The carpet, front seat covers, front door panels etc... show signs of water damage. Yet, the engine controls were NOT damaged. The truck will still fire right up & run smooth with no smoke, knocks, ticks, etc... And there are NO check engine or other warning lights on. The electric locker control switch works as it should. As do the locker indicator lights. Both the front & rear electric lockers are working as they should.

 The transmission will take forward & reverse gears. The transfer case shifts as it should.

 Remember, this vehicle was female owned & daily driven up until the day of the crash.

 

Drivetrain- This vehicle is powered by the legendary 4.5 liter, in-line 6-cylinder, fuel injected 1FZ-FE gasoline powered engine. Toyota has been building some form of this engine since the early 1960's. They have improved & refined their design over the last decades until finally unveiling their masterpiece with this version. It is one of the most powerful & definitely the most reliable of them all. It performs with all the guts you need to tackle tough terrain, yet still enjoys AMAZING fuel economy!

This Cruiser is showing a very low 196,712 miles. This engine runs as good as the day it was born. I can find no problems at all. No hard starting even on the coldest mornings. You can let this car sit for days & go out, hit the key & this big 6 cylinder instantly comes to life. The oil pressure comes right up. I see no major fluid leaks. There are no abnormal noises. Nothing but smooth power.... Even on 2 year old gas!

I am a factory trained Toyota Technician & have personally serviced cruisers with well over 700,000 miles that were still going strong without ever having had any major repairs.

The power plant in this FJ should take you many more dependable miles!

The transmissions in these Cruisers are as tough as everything else. I have never seen one with a transmission problem, EVER.

 And you don't see many with the rare locker option.

Mechanically this entire vehicle seems to be in excellent condition.

Body & Frame- This is a life long Southern vehicle so there is absolutely no rust or corrosion on anything anywhere. The door, hood, trunk hinges & latches are nice & tight. The under side of the vehicle is dirty but everything is tight & free from corrosion.

Options- It would take me an hour to list of of the options found on this Flagship Toyota. With the presence of the extremely rare factory lockers, you can bet that it has EVERY single option you could get in 1994!

Tires & Wheels- This SUV is equipped with a set of factory 15 inch, alloy wheels. All four are in good condition! No curb rash or bent places. All tires hold air but are worn. The factory spare looks as if it has never touched the ground. The factory jack & tool kit are present.

Title- I have a clean, clear, fully transferable GA title on this vehicle. The accident was not reported to the police or insurance & thus there are no records of it on CarFax or AutoCheck. Everything is clean. You can transfer ownership right now. With a little work this Cruiser will be ready for the road in no time. This is my personal vehicle so there will be no tax. I DO NOT charge a doc fee or any other fees like most sellers on eBay do. What you bid is what you pay.

* This is a TRUE auction!

* NO RESERVE!

* Low starting bid!

* You set the final price!

* Bid what you think the Cruiser is worth to you!

* If you are the high bidder at the end... YOU WIN!

BIDDING- Please only bid what you are prepared to pay for this vehicle. Anyone wishing to inspect the it or have it inspected is welcome to do so but inspections must be completed prior to bidding & prior to auction's end. If you have little or no feedback please contact me prior to bidding. I realize everyone has to start somewhere & welcome your business but I must verify that you are a serious buyer if you have little or no buying history. I have encountered a couple of crooks/ scammers here on eBay who have cost me both time & money. This will no longer be tolerated so if you are not a SERIOUS buyer, PLEASE MOVE ON. All members with a genuine interest in this vehicle are more than welcome to ask questions. All will be answered promptly. If you look at my feedback comments you will see that all of the REAL buyers have been very happy after dealing with me. Many of the comments are from people who have been very happy with Cruisers they have bought from me.

SHIPPING- Shipping costs & arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer. However, I have assisted buyers & their shippers in the pickup of several vehicles over the years. I can recommend several shippers who have performed well for buyers in the past but you will have to make your own arrangements with them. I will work with you & your shipper so that they can get this SUV to you as fast & cost effectively as possible. However, no matter where you live or how you choose to pay, the legal point of sell will be here in Jackson County Georgia as that is where I live & where the vehicle is located. As always, you are more than welcome to pick this vehicle up in person. I can assist in loading it on your trailer at no charge.

This Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 80 is truly a rare find. These trucks are TOUGH & stand the test of time! This one needs some work but it is a great start to an amazing rig! Remember... NO RESERVE!

Thanks for your interest in my Landcruiser!

I hope you win!! JD

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.

Toyota recalling 1.9M Prius models globally for software update

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

Toyota has announced a set of voluntary recalls covering 960,000 Prius, RAV4, Tacoma and Lexus RX350 models in the United States to address two separate issues. Worldwide, Toyota will have to recall a total of 1.9 million Prius cars.
The Prius recall affects about 700,000 2010-2014 models in the US, due to a fault in the motor/generator control ECU and hybrid control ECU software. It says that the current software could result in high temperatures on certain transistors and possibly damage them. When it fails, the error forces the car into failsafe mode. Toyota says that in rare circumstances, it could even shut the hybrid system down while the car is being driven.
Toyota spokeswoman Shino Yamada told Automotive News that the software update should take about 40 minutes, and dealers would start to be notified about affected vehicles today. She also told them that the first reported glitch occurred in May 2011 in the US when the system overheated and the car entered failsafe mode. The affected cars were built between March 2009 and Feb. 5, 2014, according to Automotive News. Toyota says that it has received no reports of accidents or injuries caused by either fault.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
