I'm selling a Left Hand Drive (LHD)1983 Toyota LandCruiser BJ42 with factory 5 speed, power steering and Toyotas ultra reliable 3B diesel motor. I have owned this cruiser for almost 10 years and have upgraded the suspension and numerous parts including a factory rebuilt 3B engine. This truck was my daily driver for a couple years and a weekend cruiser the rest of the time. This truck was legally imported and has a clear Texas title in my name. When I purchased the truck I had the front fenders, wheel wells and rear quarter panels replace and had it painted back to the factory Nordic Blue. These are all steel parts, no aluminum, fiberglass or bondo! The frame and rest of the body is in excellent condition except for some rust bubbles starting to show under the driver side door. I have about 1/3 of a gallon of the Nordic Blue paint that will be include with the truck if you decide to touch up this area. The paint looks good from 10ft but does show scratches and use. The drive line is in excellent condition and the truck drives, handles, steers and stops as it should. The head lights, tail lights, gauges (except odometer), ebrake, wipers and heater all function properly. The mileage shown is in Kilometers, but the actual KMs is unknow as the odometer stoped working less than 5K KMs ago, would be an easy fix just never got around to it. This rare cruiser is truly a pleasure to drive and returns excellent fuel economy in the 22-26mpg range and turns heads every where I go. Below is a list of upgrades and known issues. Please contact me with any questions or for more photos(I have about 80 detailing the truck and undercarriage). Thanks for looking, Colby (432)Four66-Four843 Upgrades and Replaced Items: Heater valve
Known Issues: Paint is flaking on instrument cluster |

Toyota FCV rallies to the hydrogen cause as zero car
Mon, 03 Nov 2014It's been two decades since Toyota dominated the World Rally Championship with its Celica Turbo 4WD. But this past weekend, Toyota hit the rally stage in a very different vehicle.
That, as you can see, is the Japanese automaker's Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV), which is still in its prototype phase. We're still at least half a year away from seeing the FCV in production trim, but the model has already been pressed into duty as the "zero car" at the Shinshiro Rally, the last round of the Japanese Rally Championship.
The zero car, for those unfamiliar, is to rally what a pace or safety car is to circuit racing, driving the rally stage to check for signs of trouble before the competitors put their feet to the floor, so it's not as if the FCV needed extensive modifications. From the looks of things, it just needed some jazzy stripes, mud flaps, probably different rolling stock and an interior with racing buckets and harnesses, roll cage, radio equipment and maybe a bit more ground clearance.
Lexus eschews production in China over quality concerns
Sat, 03 May 2014One of the more popular trends in the auto industry is setting up production operations in China. Mainstream manufacturers like Ford, General Motors and Volkswagen have done it, and even luxury marques like Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have or will soon have manufacturing ops in the People's Republic.
One company that isn't building cars in China, though, is Lexus. The Toyota-owned luxury brand still manufactures all of its vehicles in Japan (aside from a few RXs, which are built at a Toyota factory in Canada). According to Tokuo Fukuichi, Lexus just isn't ready to build cars there yet.
"The German Three have a brand image that they have cultivated over the past century in their long history, but Lexus is not in people's minds like that yet," Fukuichi-san told Reuters UK.
2013 Toyota RAV4 earns 'poor' rating in IIHS small overlap crash test [w/video]
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tested a batch of SUVs in its small overlap frontal crash test earlier this year, it held off on putting the Toyota RAV4 in the blender because the new, 2013 model was due to arrive shortly after the test. The new crossover might be better than it was before, but it could still only manage a rating of "Poor" in the test that has been a bugbear for a number of manufacturers.
Among other issues, the IIHS noted that the steering column moved seven inches to the right causing the crash test dummy to practically miss the airbag, the dummy's left foot was trapped in deformed sheetmetal and the dummy's head hit the instrument panel.
The 2013 RAV4 earned the Top Safety Pick rating by scoring well in the Institute's four other tests. A good score in this particular test would have earned it the Top Safety Pick+ rating that is so far only claimed by the 2014 Subaru Forester and 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in the SUV category. There's a press release below with more details and a video of the test.
