1983 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60

289,415 miles

Blue exterior, gray interior

This truck comes with 30 years of incredibly detailed service records. The binder includes the original window sticker, details about every gasoline fill-up since 1991, every hose, filter, and spark plug change, as well as larger items like radiator, brakes, and 2F engine replacement (by Jasper Engines, Oct 2005 at 246,786 miles).

Built in Japan (Dec 1982) and raised in Colorado, it has been garage-kept for its entire life. The original owner (Aurora, CO) sold the vehicle with 30,000 miles in May 1985 to the previous owner (Boulder, CO), who used it as a daily driver. Between 1985 and 2011, it was a family-used vehicle; it has not been used for rock climbing or off-roading. My fiance, the third owner, bought it in August 2011. In October 2011, it passed vehicle inspection in Massachusetts. During the last two years, she has used it has her daily driver, as well as road tripping from Minnesota to the east coast and back a couple of times. This truck was built tough and still runs strong.

Non-smoking owners.

Minimal surface rust: removal and repair of all body rust, as well as a professional paint job was completed in 2005

A/C blows cold.

No cracks in the dash. All switches and dash vents work perfectly.

Clean headliner (although one small area above the right rear window has come untucked, see pic).

Liftgate stays up on its own.

Tires have good tread and are not weathered.

Sale includes all service records. Most recent work completed:

Valve adjustment: 284.024 miles

New tachometer: 283,660 miles

Tie rod and relay rod ends: 286,305 miles

Firestone Alignment: 286,313 miles

Distributor cap, seal, and ignition rotor: 289,252 miles

The original radio was replaced with a Sony CD player in 2004, but I have the original radio in a box. The speaker on the passenger side door wasn't connected when my fiance bought it, so the only working speaker is on the driver side door.

ACCIDENT: In October 2012, the truck was parked in a parking lot when someone struck the driver side doors and fender, pushing the truck into the car next to it, thereby denting the right front fender as well. It has not been driven much since the accident, but we have taken it on short drives every couple of weeks to keep it running smoothly. It doesn't look as good as it used to, but the truck is still driveable. The left side doors do close (with some effort); they do not leak during rain storms. There was no damage to any of the glass. The repair (or replacement) of the body panels and left-side door column could return this truck to its former glory.

Before bidding on it, we welcome you to come inspect the truck in person.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers

Fri, 08 Jun 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota, Honda and General Motors crossovers.
2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation.
In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue.

Toyota to ramp up Tacoma production in Mexico by 41%

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

The Toyota Tacoma may be getting on in age, but that isn't stopping the Japanese manufacturer from ramping up production at the pickup's Baja California factory. The Mexican plant will soon be home to another 300 jobs as it increases total capacity by 41 percent. The increase is slated for April 2015.
The move is a curious one, considering the Tacoma's age and the fact that General Motors is preparing what, on the surface, appear to be two very competent challengers. The factory increase could be in preparation for the 2016 Taco (spy photos shown above), which is expected to represent a significant overhaul of the long-serving truck.
Toyota's decision to increase capacity could also be due to the factory building freeze implemented by President Akio Toyoda, according to Automotive News. Toyoda put a hold on new factories until 2016, asking executives to squeeze as much production as possible out of remaining factories before bringing any additional facilities online.

Toyota reaches $1.2B unintended acceleration settlement in criminal probe

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

UPDATE: Just like that, Toyota has released an official statement confirming its $1.2-million dollar settlement with the US Attorney's Office. Our story has been updated to reflect this development and the automaker's official statement has been added below.
Toyota has reached a settlement over the criminal probe into its unintended acceleration problems, and the outcome is more expensive than first expected. The Japanese automaker has agreed to pay $1.2 billion to close the investigation among other settlement terms. The criminal inquiry focused on whether the company kept information from regulators and how it handled drivers' complaints about the problems, according to the sources.
Between 2009 and 2010, Toyota ended up recalling over 10 million vehicles worldwide over sudden acceleration fears. Fixes include modifying floor mats, gas pedals, and installing brake override software on affected models. In addition, Toyota made the latter standard on all of its new vehicles.
