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:

4th-gen Toyota Prius production delayed by 6 months
Mon, 30 Jun 2014If you were holding off buying a new car in anticipation of the fourth-generation Toyota Prius arriving in 2015, your wait might be a little longer. Company insiders are claiming that production of the bestselling hybrid is being pushed back from spring to possibly as late as December 2015. Toyota is reportedly still making alterations to make sure everything is just right before it unleashes the all-important, efficient hatch on a waiting public.
According to unnamed sources speaking to Automotive News Europe, the main reasons for the delay aren't completely known. It's believed the engineers are still working on making the hybrid powertrain more efficient and improving the new Toyota Global Architecture modular platform. The insiders claim that the final production prototype of the Prius is still under development, and it might be November before it's finalized. From there, it usually takes around 12 months to tool up and for the first car to roll off the assembly line. It would be another year after that before the plug-in variant starts assembly. The national manager of Toyota Product Communications, Michael Kroll, told AutoblogGreen, "As you might expect, we can't comment on future product plans."
Despite the delay, some potential details have already emerged about the new hybrid. A company spokesperson recently told Autoblog via email that Toyota is engineering the next-gen Prius to have smaller, more power-dense electric motors and greater thermal efficiency. The new modular platform is also rumored reduce weight, and the changes could lead to a targeted 10 percent improvement in fuel economy.

2015 Toyota Yaris to start at $14,845* and look like this
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Toyota released a new Yaris in Europe and its Vitz clone in Japan a few months ago, so we knew it would only be a matter of time before it would launch the new hatchback here in North America. And that time has come.
The new, more distinctive 2015 Yaris features far more aggressive exterior styling, a look set apart by that large lower air dam and X-motif front end. It rides on a retuned suspension hooked up to an altogether more rigid chassis, and Toyota promises it will ride more quietly and comfortably than the model it replaces. Inside the new model has additional soft-touch materials in a more comfortable cabin equipped with everything from a 6.1-inch touchscreen display to nine airbags.
The 2015 Yaris comes in both three- and five-door bodystyles, and three trim levels that seek to eliminate the need for options packages. In fact the only option to speak of is a dealer-installed nav system. Power comes from a modest 1.5-liter four with variable valve timing, dual overhead cams and sixteen valves, sending 106 horsepower and 103 pound-feet of torque through either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.
