1997 Toyota Land Cruiser Base Sport Utility 4-door 4.5l on 2040-cars
Missoula, Montana, United States
This is my husband's 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser. He passed away last fall, and this was his baby. My kids and I have enjoyed it this summer, but we are planning to move to Michigan in a couple of months and I have decided that it is something I won't take with us.
We bought this for about $8k in 2010. Over about 3 years we modified it and turned it into something pretty awesome. I would estimate we put about $45,000 into it in mods. We also put bedliner on the exterior so that you can go crazy in brush and with rugged terrain with rocks and it won't get dents and scratches. It has an ARB front bumper and a custom rear bumper with a ladder and spare on the back and an ARB roof rack. This vehicle is just hardcore with serious off-roading gear on it, including a winch that is operated by a hand control (i.e., not manual.) There is also an ARB camping overhang that is attached to the roof rack. It makes camping trips really nice, provides shade and cover when there is rain. It has a functional snorkel and a brand new battery. The tires are very heavy-duty, and are 2 years old. They are about the best you can get for off-roading and durability with very large treads. Some of the interior has been taken out because he was working on redoing it all, but I have all of the parts to it and can include them in the sale. None of what he took out interferes with driving in it and riding in it. The radio/cd player is new, with an iPod port. The radio also is connected to a camera in the rear of the vehicle so that you have clear footage of the rear when driving in reverse. There is so much more, but this ad is getting long. Really, you need to come take a look if you are interested. Only serious customers though, please. It is not easy for me to let go of this because it was so special to our family. So I don't want to show it unless the buyer is serious about it. I also have some gear he used for working on it that is in our storage unit, and could show that, too, and consider including it in the sale of the vehicle with an adjusted package price, considering what you would want from that stuff. (Things such as a lift/jack, heavy-duty towing ropes, tire chains, a air pump for adjusting pressure on different terrain that runs off the car battery, etc.) |

2014 Toyota Tundra
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Raising A White Flag To The Competition
We all benefit from highly competitive battles. In the automotive sector, few campaigns are so closely fought as the decades-long struggle for supremacy in the fullsize half-ton pickup truck segment. The Ford F-150 has dominated for ages, but Chevrolet, Ram and GMC have been closing the gap with freshly redesigned trucks that are rocking the industry.
Today's half-ton trucks are better than they've ever been, and we have fierce competition to thank for that.
2015 Toyota Camry set to circle NASCAR track near you
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Toyota recently introduced the all-new 2015 Camry for the street, so it follows that it should want to promote its new bread-and-butter sedan by putting it out on the racetrack as well. And that's just what it's done here with the release of the new Toyota Camry for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
The new Camry represents the first reskin of the standard stock car chassis since the Gen-6 model was introduced in 2012. Toyota's Calty Design studio worked closely with series organizers to determine which parts could be redesigned to more closely resemble the new production model, and what you see here is the result. Since it is based on the same control chassis as all the others, the Camry's skin is applied over a steel tube frame and powered by an old-school 5.86-liter pushrod V8 mated to a four-speed manual gearbox.
Although the idea of a Japanese automaker in American stock car racing didn't initially get the warmest reception from some of the good ol' boys when it first entered the series back in 2007, it has by now become a staple of the NASCAR circuit. After all, it's hard for even the most patriotic of racing fans to argue with the US-built Camry's ranking as one of the most American cars by content on the market.
DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
