I am selling my 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60.   


Exterior:  The body of this truck is in average condition for a Land Cruiser.  It does have rust on the bottom of the body (Rockers, wheel wells, etc) as well as underneath/frame.  Please note that this vehicle has spent most of its life in Indiana and is subject to harsh winters.  Most Land Cruisers have rust, so this should be no shock to a buyer.  As far as I could tell, There is no rust on the roof or tailgate (These are other usual Land Cruiser rust spots).  Some of the rust has been repaired/prevented by a previous owner.  From 10-15 feet away, the truck looks pretty good for the age.  It's still certainly a head turner, especially in the Midwest where classic Land Cruisers are VERY uncommon.  The roof was recently painted with a white Plasti-Dip spray.  This spray can be removed like a sticker if you do not like the look.  The same can be said for the grille and front/rear bumpers.  Again, it removes like a sticker causing no damage to the surface below.  I had this done to customize the appearance and give it a more classic Land Cruiser look!

Interior:  The interior of this truck is in good condition for the year.  The dash board does have a few cracks in it.  You can purchase a color matched dash cover for around $100 right here on eBay.  The seats are in good shape, but the driver's seat was replaced with one from a newer Toyota, and is a different gray cloth material, but doesn't look bad.  In my research, I have found that Dodge Neon seats are a direct replacement for these trucks.  I am in the process of locating a clean set of these to include in the sale (However, I cannot guarantee I find them before the auction is over).  If I do find a set, you will receive the Land Cruiser seats with the truck.  The carpet is in decent shape, but has nice rubber floor mats to protect it.  Recently installed was a Pioneer CD player with a direct iPod control cable that will charge and connect your iPod while using it.  Additionally, new front and rear speakers were installed (Kicker/Sony).  The sound quality is nice!.  All the glass is in good shape with no cracks.  The door locks and windows work just fine (Crank windows/manual locks).  The headliner is very clean and not sagging (Rare for a Land Cruiser).  Also added were aftermarket Oil Pressure, Coolant Temperature, and volt meter gauges.  The factory gauges work, but in my research I found that many Land Cruiser enthusiasts prefer aftermarket gauges to the OEM gauges due to the ability to get a more accurate reading from the new gauges.

Mechanical:  This is one of the smoothest, quietest running vehicles I have ever owned.  It idles nicely and drives smooth.  From a distance, it is so quiet you can barely hear it run!  The 4x4 works and the hubs lock and unlock with ease.  The brakes work just fine and stops the vehicle well.  The rear shoes may need to be replaced down the road because they make noise from time to time when stopping.  I will include a set of new shoes for the winning bidder.  Additionally, it will need new shocks or shock mounts, as they make noise when going over a bump.  It also does not have a spare tire (I have no idea why).  Newer parts are a full tune up, fluid changes, carburetor sorting and tune, power steering pump, thermostat, clutch master cylinder, choke cable, CD player & speakers (As indicated above), and a new battery with tooless/quick disconnect terminals.  All exterior lights work properly.

Other:  The previous owner informed me that some emissions equipment was removed some time ago.  If you are in a state that checks for emissions on this old of a vehicle, you will need to check about that status.  Indiana does not perform mandated emissions testing statewide, thus this Land Cruiser has not been subjected to any testing and I do not know if this would/will pass your state's emission requirements.  Additionally, some time ago the Air Conditioning compressor and it's hoses going to the inside of the car were removed (I am unsure why).  This truck IS equipped with A/C, so you should be able to source the other pieces from a salvage yard, parts store, or other places to get your A/C working again.  The heat is HOT and will keep you warm in cold weather.  It even has a blower under the passenger seat that can be adjusted from hot to cold, and it still works!

Mileage/Title/Additional Information:  The title on this truck is CLEAN AND CLEAR, and not rebuilt.  It is registered in my name and ready to be signed over to a new owner.  The mileage information on the title, as issued by the State of Indiana is exempt.  I was informed by a representative from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles that vehicles over ten years old are usually subject to being labeled as exempt from mileage.  Also, this truck has 159,000 miles.  The speedometer needle broke while driving and I replaced the entire gauge cluster with a different one, so the odometer reads 119,000 miles.  Again, this is exempt from the State of Indiana odometer information as indicated on the title, but I wanted to inform of the speedometer change-out.  Regardless, this is still low mileage for a Land Cruiser, and really a Toyota in general.  It is very hard to find one with less than 200,000 miles on it.


Bidding:  By bidding on this auction, you agree that you have read all information in this listing and understand the condition, age, and anything mentioned in the title.  I will check all bidder's feedback.  If you have been known to be a non-paying bidder in the past, I will contact eBay and cancel your bid.  Please only bid if you intend to purchase the Toyota.

Winning Bidder:  By winning this auction, you agree to all terms as disclosed in this auction.  By 48 hours after the auction close, you will pay a $500 deposit via PayPal, additionally, you will also pay a $75 handling/document preparation fee (This is on top of the entire purchase price, so Purchase Price + $75= Total Amount and also includes a final wash, wax, and interior detailing).  By the end of seven days of winning the auction, you agree to send a certified check from your bank for the remaining balance.  The vehicle and title will not be released until this check clears with my bank.  This is pretty standard for vehicles sold on eBay.  If you do not pay any amount by the end of the seven days, you will be reported to eBay as a non-paying bidder, and you agree to be charged a $50, non-refundable fee for failing to pay.  This will be done via PayPal and is, again, not refundable.  Additionally, you forfeit any chance of being able to purchase the vehicle and will be blocked if I must re-list the Land Cruiser.  

Shipping:  Shipping of this vehicle is the buyer's responsibility.  I agree to work with the buyer and shipping company to arrange a time for the vehicle to be picked up.  Please choose a shipper with a good reputation.

Other Information:  All information provided is given according to the best knowledge of the seller at the time of this listing.  This vehicle is a used vehicle, and is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty expressed or implied.  Registration, insurance, and any additional fees in the future are the sole responsibility of the buyer. There are no refunds or returns on the vehicle. Also, I do have this truck for sale locally, and reserve the right to end this auction early if it sells locally.


If you wish to contact me via phone, feel free to do so.  My number is (574)-301-9709

Consumer Reports calls on Toyota to recall older Camry Hybrid models

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

Consumer Reports is calling on Toyota to issue an official recall of 178,000 Camry Hybrid sedans from model years 2007 to 2011, claiming that a pair of issues affecting the brakes are so dire they demand a more official action than what the company has undertaken so far.
The first issue, as CR tells it, relates to a clog in the brake-fluid reservoir filter, which if left untreated could lead to a number of dashboard warning lights. The "front brake assist could be temporarily lost," too, according to Toyota's own notice to dealers and owners of affected models. The company has issued a "service campaign" that will fit a new brake-fluid reservoir free of charge to any affected model brought to a dealer by June 30, 2017.
The other issue plaguing the fuel-sipping Camrys is being treated via a warranty extension, and focuses on the ABS brake actuator, a particularly expensive (both in terms of parts, at $1,000, and labor, around $3,000) item that is necessary for the anti-lock braking to function. There's also a related issue with the brake pedal's "stroke sensor," which like the actuator can lead to a very difficult-to-depress brake pedal. The warranty extension increases the coverage of the actuator to 10 years or 150,000 miles (whichever comes first).

177k Toyota Camry Hybrids being recalled for brake issue

Mon, 11 Aug 2014

It looks like Consumer Reports might be getting part of what it wants regarding the Toyota Camry Hybrid and its braking system. Toyota is issuing what it calls a limited service campaign, rather than a full recall, covering about 177,500 of the hybrid sedans from the 2007 through 2011 model years because of an issue with the cars' brake fluid reservoirs.
The models have a filter separating two chambers of the brake fluid reservoir, and the part can get clogged over time. If this happens, the fluid level in one of the chambers can get too low and eventually cause the power assist to fail. There are multiple warning lights on the dashboard that illuminate over time if the filter gets obstructed, though. The company is replacing the entire reservoir with an improved unit, and the fix takes about two hours to perform.
Consumer Reports recently began asking for a recall on these models for the potentially clogged filters. The magazine also reported a second issue with the ABS brake actuator that could lead to a difficult to depress brake, but Toyota has increased the warranty on the part to 10 years or 150,000 miles.

2014 Toyota Corolla debuts with more power, interior space

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

Depending on who you ask, the best-selling car in the world is either the Ford Focus or Toyota Corolla. Not surprisingly, Toyota claims it's the Corolla. Either way, we're talking around a million individual units per year, and over 40 million over the car's lifetime on the market, so the redesign of Toyota's compact sedan is big-time news for the Japanese automaker that it needs to get right.
The Toyota Corolla was last redesigned way back in 2008, meaning the 2014 model is a long-overdue update to the C-segment sedan. Its age shows when compared to newer rivals like the Honda Civic, Chevy Cruze, Hyundai Elantra and the aforementioned Ford Focus when comparing technology features, fuel mileage and interior roominess. In an effort to solve those demerits, Toyota has added nearly four inches to the 2014 Corolla's wheelbase and will offer a new continuously variable transmission with seven simulated gear ratios.
Engine choices consist of two available 1.8-liter four-cylinder units, one with 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque, and another more efficient version that uses Toyota's new Valvematic technology to offer 140 horses and 126 lb-ft of torque. Eco and Sport modes will be selectable by the driver.
