Toyota Land Cruiser

Chronology

Prehistory

In 1941 the Imperial Japanese Army occupied the Philippines, where they obtained a Bantam Mk II, and promptly brought it to Japan. The Japanese military authorities commanded Toyota to make a similar vehicle but to not model the appearance on the American Jeep. The prototype was called the Model AK and was formally adopted by The Japanese Imperial Army as the Yon-Shiki Kogata Kamotsu-Sha ( The Imperial era 2604th model compact cargo-truck ).

Later in 1941 the Japanese government asked Toyota to produce a light truck for the Japan military campaign. Toyota developed a 1/2 ton prototype called the AK10 in 1942. The AK10 was built using reverse-engineering from the Bantam GP. There are no known surviving photographs of the AK10. The only known pictorial representations are some rough sketches. The truck featured an upright front grille, flat front wheel arches that angled down and back like the FJ40, headlights mounted above the wheel arches on either side of the radiator and a folding windshield.

The AK10 used the 2259 cc, 4-cylinder Type C engine from the Toyota Model AE sedan with a three-speed manual transmission and two-speed transfer gearbox connected to it. There is no mechanical relationship between the AK10 and the postwar Toyota "Jeep" BJ. Most of the AK10's were not actively used (unlike the U.S. Jeep) and there are almost no photographs of it in the battlefield.

1950 - The Korean War created demand for a military light utility vehicle. The war put a Jeep on Japan's doorstep. The United States government ordered 100 vehicles with the new Willys specs and Toyota was asked to build them.

1951 - The Toyota "Jeep" BJ prototype was developed in January 1951. This came from the demand for military-type utility vehicles, much like the British Land Rover Series 1 that appeared in 1948. The Jeep BJ was larger than the original U.S. Jeep and more powerful thanks to its Type B 3.4-liter six-cylinder OHV Gasoline engine which generated 85 hp (63 kW) at 3600 rpm and 215 Nm (159 lbft) torque at 1600 rpm. It had a part-time four-wheel drive system like the Jeep. Unlike the Jeep, however, the Jeep BJ had no low-range transfer case.

1951 - In July 1951, Toyota's test driver Ichiro Taira drove the next generation of the Jeep BJ prototype up to the sixth stage of Mount Fuji, the first vehicle to climb that high. The test was overseen by the National Police Agency (NPA). Impressed by this feat, the NPA quickly placed an order for 289 of these offroad vehicles, making the Jeep BJ their official patrol car.

1953 - Regular production of the "Toyota Jeep BJ" began at Toyota Honsya Plant (Rolling chassis assembly), and body assembly and painting was done at Arakawa Bankin Kogyo KK, later known as ARACO (now an affiliate of Toyota Auto Body Co.). The "Toyota Jeep BJ" Series was introduced alongside the following:

BJ-T (Touring),

BJ-R (Radio),

BJ-J (Cowl-chassis for a fire-engine).

1954 - The name "Land Cruiser" was created by the technical director Hanji Umehara. "In England we had another competitor - Land Rover. I had to come up with a name for our car that would not sound less dignified than those of our competitors. That is why I decided to call it 'Land Cruiser'," he recalls.

1954 - The 125 hp, 3.9-liter Type F gasoline engine added for the fire-engine chassis. Models are renamed as:

BJ-T (Touring),

BJ-R (Radio),

BJ-J (Cowl-chassis for a fire-engine),

FJ-J (Cowl-chassis for a fire-engine).

1955 - The Second generation, 20 Series was introduced. It was designed to have more civilian appeal than the BJ for export reasons. It also had more stylish bodywork and a better ride thanks to longer four-plate leaf springs which had been adapted from the Toyota Light Truck. It had a more powerful 3.9-liter six-cylinder Type F gasoline engine. The interior of the vehicles were made more comfortable by moving the engine 120 mm (4.7 in) forward. The 20 Series still had no low range, but it had synchromesh on the third and fourth gears.

1958 - The first Station wagon Land Cruiser was introduced with an even longer 2,650 mm (104.3 in) wheelbase (the FJ35V; wagon and van). The FJ25 production started in Brazil being the first Toyota vehicle built outside Japan.

1957 - A 4-door Station Wagon was added as the FJ35V. Land Cruisers were first imported into Australia by B&D Motors as FJ25/28 cab chassis with Australian made bodies. They were the first Japanese cars to be regularly exported to the country and were initially used in the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme.

1960 - The 20 Series was upgraded to the now classic 40. Toyota made many production changes by buying new steel presses. Mechanically, the FJ40 was given a new 125 hp, 3.9 liter F engine and the Land Cruiser finally received low-range gearing. The Brazilian model was rebadged the Bandeirante and received a Mercedes-Benz built Diesel engine generating 78 hp.

1965 - Global production surpassed 50,000 vehicles.

The Land Cruiser was the best selling Toyota in the United States.

1968 - The 100,000th Land Cruiser was sold worldwide.

1972 - The 200,000th Land Cruiser was sold worldwide.

1973 - The 300,000th Land Cruiser was sold worldwide.

The first diesel Land Cruiser was introduced for export on long wheelbase models with a six-cylinder H engine[citation needed].

1974 - A four-cylinder 3.0-liter B diesel was offered. The introduction of this engine boosted sales in Japan by putting the Land Cruiser in a lower tax compact Freight-car category than its 3.9-liter gasoline version. Note: the new B diesel engine was different from the B gasoline engine used in the original BJ.

1975 - The 3.9-liter gasoline engine was replaced by a larger, more powerful 4.2-liter 2F unit.

The FJ55 received front disc brakes.

1976 - United States-version FJ40 Land Cruisers received front disc brakes like the FJ55.

The Toyota Land Cruiser Association was founded in California.

1977 - The Irish Army took delivery of the first of 77 FJ45 Land Cruisers. Although fast, reliable and with good off-road performance the type tended to rust excessively in the wet Irish climate. A few which did not succumb to the effects of weather were repainted in gloss olive green and survive as ceremonial gun tractors at military funerals.

1978 - The first BJ / FJ40 and FJ55 models were officially sold in West Germany with both diesel (BJ40) and petrol engines (FJ40 /55).

1979 - United States-version FJ40s were updated this year with a new wider, square bezel surrounding the headlights.

Power steering and cooler were offered in FJ40s for the first time.

The diesel engine was improved, evolving into the 3.2-liter 2B only in Japan.

The 3.6-liter H diesel engine was optional in some markets.

1981 - the Diesel version received front disc brakes and the more powerful 3.4-liter 3B engine.

1967 - Production of the FJ55 began. The FJ55 was a 4-door station wagon version based on the FJ40's Drive-train, replacing the 4-Door FJ45V (I). It was colloquially known as the "Moose". It has also been referred to as a pig or an iron pig. The FJ55 had a longer wheelbase 2710 mm and was designed to be sold in North America and Australia.

Jan 1975 saw the F engine replaced by the 2F engine. Unusually for Toyota, the model (eg FJ55) did not change.

Model 56 is in Japan only, with 2F engine ( Jan. 1975 - Jul. 1980 ).

The original Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 60 was available for purchase from 1981 through 1987. It is a front engine four door wagon which has available seating of five to seven. It is well known in the off-roading community for it's tremendous 4X4 capabilities, despite being somewhat limited by its poor departure angle. The FJ 60 was offered in the following solid exterior colors: Alpine White, Brown, Desert Beige, Freeborn Red, Royal Blue; and in the following metallic exterior colors: Charcoal Gray, Cognac, Gray-Blue, Rootbeer, Sky Blue, Stardust Silver. In contrast to the FJ 62, the FJ 60 exhibits the classic round Land Cruiser headlights which are replicated now on the retro-style FJ Cruiser.

1980 - The 60 series was introduced. While still retaining the rugged off-road characteristics of previous Land Cruisers, the 60 was designed to better compete in the emerging sport utility vehicle market. The 60 was given a variety of comforts like air conditioning, a rear heater and an upgraded interior. The FJ60's "2F" petrol engine was left unchanged from the "40" series while six-cylinder 4.0 litre 2H and four-cylinder 3.4 litre 3B diesel engines were added to the product line.

1981 - Land Cruiser sales surpassed 1 million and a high-roof version was introduced. The 60 was introduced to South Africa when a stock Land Cruiser competed in the Toyota 1000 km Desert Race in the punishing wilds of Botswana.

1984 - This was the final year for the 40. Specialist suppliers of aftermarket parts and restorers who return old FJ40s to better-than-new condition replace Toyota dealers as the main source of Land Cruiser expertise.

1984 - Alongside the 60, the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series were introduced.

1985 - The Direct-injection 12H-T and 13B-T turbodiesel engine were introduced.

1988 - The petrol engine was upgraded to a 4.0-litre 3F-E EFI engine. The FJ62G VX-Series was introduced allowing the Land Cruiser to be sold in Japan as a passenger vehicle.

1990 - The 80 series station wagon was introduced, replacing the 60. The 80 was initially offered with a choice of three engines; the 3F-E six-cylinder petrol engine, a six-cylinder the 1HZ diesel and 1HD-T direct injection turbodiesel.

1990 - All 80s sold in North America and Europe now have a full-time four-wheel drive system. In Japan, Africa and Australia, a part-time system was still available. 80s produced between 1990 and 1991 had an open centre differential which was lockable in 4HI and automatically locked in 4LO. From 1992 onward, vehicles with anti-lock brakes had a viscous coupling that sent a maximum of 30% torque to the non-slipping axle. The differential was lockable in 4HI and automatically locked in 4LO.

Other engines in non-US markets included the 1HD-FT/E turbodiesel.

For the first time in Land Cruiser history, the 100 Series featured independent front suspension for increased on-road handling. In Africa and certain other markets, Toyota offered a 105 model, which retained the solid front axle for more demanding off-road use.

The Land Cruiser won Australian 4WD Monthly's "4x4 Of The Year" award for the third time in a row.

It was called the Land Cruiser Amazon in the UK until 2003.

Lexus LX

The Toyota Land Cruiser was redesigned for 2008. Known as the 200 Series, it will share the 2008 Lexus LX's platform and overall design. Though many time-honored Land Cruiser supporters have welcomed the re-invigoration of the mechanical aspects of the vehicle, the 200 Series has encountered criticism due to its controversial body restyling, with some claiming that Toyota has 'overdeveloped' the classic trademarked Land Cruiser identity in its efforts to fit the Land Cruiser in to modern 21st century motoring. Toyota presented its completely redesigned Land Cruiser in October at the 2007 Australian International Motor Show in Sydney. The vehicle entered production in September and was available for sale in November 2007. Although the new Land Cruiser was presented at its first motor show in Sydney, it was already on sale in Japan, launched there in September 2007. It also became available in Venezuela for sale early in November under the local nickname of "Roraima" (Taken from Mount Roraima in Venezuela). The 200 Series is offered in three different levels of trim in Australia and Oceania:

GXL

VX

Sahara

The 200 Series, offered numerous features and upgrades over its predecessor not limited to the cosmetic changes made to the body and interior, including:

Smart Entry - A sensor is triggered when the remote is brought near the vehicle, allowing the user to simply touch the door handle to open it.

Smart Start - Start/Stop push button for ignition; a key is not required.

4-zone climate control on Sahara models, with outlet vents increased from 18 to 28

10 airbags (VX & Sahara)

Stronger and lighter frame

Various driver assist technologies not offered on previous models including:

CRAWL; a four-wheel drive control system that operates like an off-road cruise control, automatically maintaining a low uniform vehicle speed using brakes and throttle.

Downhill Assist Control

A newly developed ABS system, the multi-terrain anti-lock braking system (ABS)

Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), allows for greater wheel articulation

Engine and transmission improvements include:

An all new optional V8 Diesel engine, the Toyota VD engine (A Twin-turbo version of the engine used in the 70 Series since 2007).

Automatic transmission standard across all levels of trim of the 200 Series, 5-speed manual transmission is offered only with the 4.0L GX models (in selected regions). A five-speed automatic gearbox is assigned to the 4.7L petrol models, while the 4.5L diesel models receive a six-speed automatic.

Skateboard Bearings Give You a Smooth Ride

There are many accessories that one can choose for their skateboard. Amongst the most important accessories are the bearings! Skateboard bearings help to support the weight of your body when you do jumps and flips. Good bearings will ensure that you have a completely safe ride. If your skateboard bearings are not of good quality then you may have an accident as your board will not be able to stand the weight. Since skateboarding includes standing on your board the whole time you should make sure you get some good bearings.

There are many brands that sell bearings and each of them sells a huge range of them. There are many types of bearings available and they come in all different sizes. This makes it easy for you to find one that will fit your wheels perfectly. You can get single packs or more and you can choose according to price and quality and brand. One good option is purchasing Swiss bearings which are sold in quite a few online skateboard shops. These bearings are of the finest quality and you can be sure that they will last a long time so there is no worry about replacing them too many times. Skateboard bearings can be bought at stores but if you want the best deal you should buy them online. Online retailers offer the best prices as there is great competition between them. They all try and sell products at lower prices than other sites so as to attract more customers.

Once you choose the bearings that you want then you can place your order. ABEC-3 Single Bearing is very popular amongst skateboarders. The sites have extremely easy forms that you need to fill out with information such as your name and address and credit card number. There is no hassle in the whole process. You just need to sit at a computer and browse through the websites till you find the cheapest bearings that are still of good quality. It hardly takes any time to find the products and place your order. Some sites also give you the option to see what your board will look like if you are buying separate parts so that you can customize your board. You can check out decks as well. The decks are as important as the skateboard bearings as you stand on the deck when riding. The deck should be strong enough to carry your weight.

The criteria for choosing should include quality, price, durability and design. When you find the deck that you like, you can add that to your cart along with the best skateboard bearings, such as Bones 608 6-Ball Bearing Set. Then you can continue shopping for other things. Once you have chosen all the skateboard parts that you like then you can enter all of your information like address and credit card information and just wait for it all to be delivered to you at your home.

Inline Aggressive Skate or Aggressive Inline Skating - Take your pick!

Whatever term you prefer to choose, Aggressive inline skating is an extreme sport, performed on specially designed inline skates with a focus on tricks, stunts and style.

Inline Aggressive skating is a form of skating where stunts and tricks like jumps, grinds, slides and flips form the basis for all of the skating manoeuvres.

Aggressive skaters slide on edges and ledges, jump over barriers, rotate in the air like gymnasts and defy gravity. These manoeuvres can be extremely dangerous, and is given an "X" sport classification.

The equipment used by aggressive skaters usually includes small, relatively soft inline skate wheels that help skaters accelerate and decelerate quicker and promotes better skate control for stunts and manoeuvres.

Aggressive skates are slower and the less durable soft wheels need more frequent replacement than other inline skate wheels.

3 Types of Inline Aggressive Skating
1. Street
Street skating or free-style skating, is where the skater performs tricks by utilising features existing in an everyday environment. This involves grinding along handrails and concrete ledges, jumping stairs and ‘ramping’ off of embankments. Street skaters usually do less high-flying stunts, because the structural elements that they have restrict them.

2. Park
This style often emphasises the technical side of aggressive inline, focusing on the variety of tricks a skater can do and encouraging skaters to connect each trick.

Skate parks often feature quarter pipes and half-pipes, curved ramps and other features that are not usually found in a regular urban setting.

3. Vertical
Also commonly known as Vert in street slang. Aerial stunts and manoeuvres are executed when a skater drops into a half pipe structure that becomes vertical at the top. Skaters use the structure to build speed and then perform stunts as they pop up several feet above the half pipe structure.

As the sport evolved, skate companies started manufacturing wheels that were intentionally undersized, in order to facilitate grinding. The undersized wheels are called anti-rockers.

Since some skaters skate with only two wheels on each skate, some frames are designed to match this called a free-style frame.

Safety
Safety gear such as helmets, guards and crash pads should be ‘de rigeur’. Skaters should protect themselves with adequate protective gear and arm themselves with learning both basic and advanced skating techniques especially on how to fall and land safely.

This is particularly relevant to young skaters who are attracted by the ability to perform tricks and impress their friends and families.

Therefore get expert help and advice from your local Inline aggressive skate store to avoid the risk of permanent injury.

Rent the Classic Ride in Las Vegas, Nevada and Drive Like a Celebrity

In the 1920's and 1930's, it was a distinction to drive such a car. Mercedes-Benz created supercharged cars that overshadowed all the refined and powerful cars that had existed before them. They created a new era of automotive engineering. Politicians and captains of industry, artists and athletes were the people driving these supercharged Mercedes cars. These people opted for an image of dynamism and savoir vivre, for the most refined design and for the most advanced engineering. These people were looking for the best cars in the world.

These supercharged models from the 1920s to 1930s all had one thing in common. They represented the ultimate in automotive engineering in their eras. The experience of driving them, to listen to the howl of their mechanical charger, to feel the power of their engines was the crowning glory of motoring. And now that distinction still continues. That distinction can still be experienced. Las Vegas car rentals offer one of the supercharged cars that came out of that era: the 1936 Mercedes- Benz 500K.

The 1936 Mercedes-Benz 500K was part of the brand's famous eight-cylinder cars that was built in the 1930s. The other car models were the Mercedes- Benz 380 and the 540K. These cars differed from their predecessors because they were designed for speed and comfortable travel rather than racing. They were expressions of luxury, performance, and elitism. These cars were manufactured by hand and even Custom Made to the wishes and ideas of each individual customers.

The Mercedes-Benz 500K was a sports car that was built by Mercedes- Benz from 1934 to 1936. It was first exhibited at the 1934 Berlin Motor Show. It is distinguished from the 500 sedan by the "K" in its name which stands for the kompressor(supercharger) fitted to the sports car. It is the successor of the Mercedes-Benz 380 and has a larger, more powerful engine and more voluptuous coachwork to adhere to customers' demands for greater luxury and performance.

The Mercedes-Benz 500K is powered by a M24 inline-eight cylinder supercharged engine that is capable of producing 160 horsepower. If the 380 was named after the cubic capacity of the engine. The "500" was named for its 5018 cc power plant. The car had also introduced innovative achievements with its power assisted brakes, a rear independent suspension with swing arms and a transmission that had five gears.

The Mercedes-Benz 500K was procurable in ten unique body styles. Part of this was the Special Roadster which is considered one of the most attractive automobiles ever built.

Car rentals are available and can easily be viewed through car rental websites. These websites already offer services such as car model information, rental policies, VIP services, as well as reservations.

Las Vegas sports and classic car rentals offer a throng of distinctive cars for rent. It is available to be experienced by everyone; young and old, male or female. Get to know why such classic cars were and still are considered as the best ever built. Experience a classic like you never did. And ride that experience in the great Nevada landscape.

St Kilda Rentals - A Reconnaissance

Hi, I want to ask you if you know the St Kilda rentals area. And you may ask the reason why I'm interested. Well, I happened to be searching the world wide web and I was pulled in by what I read. In a Top Ten Popular Aussie Suburbs per State list, the St Kilda area ranks at a fascinating 2nd place within the state of Victoria, Australia, with regards to the rent market. In the same line, it ranks fourth in the "where to buy" classification. And undoubtedly the leading ranker for rent and also market is Melbourne.

Nevertheless, let's simply focus on the unfamiliar or to put it in the right context on the less popular. Given that Melbourne City is already a well known area to visit there'll truly always be plenty of tourists within the area. And it will be saturated with lots of people.

Since I'm more on the lighter side, let's try to glance at the St Kilda rentals area. St Kilda has a great deal to offer for the day trippers and also for night riders.

For a well-planned daytrip, you may try and begin your day with a seaside breakfast along the stretch of the popular St Kilda Pier. In the pier you can see the well-known seashore utilized in television series settings along with the remarkable sights of the Melbourne skyline. If you're in Melbourne, you will be unable to view it.

For anyone who is in the St Kilda Rentals area, you're instantly in a well-known shopping haunt. An area that you could visit for a one-of-a-kind bargain will be the suburbs of Acland Street. It is lined with pretty much numerous exclusive boutiques to peruse as bakeries. While the St Kilda Esplanade Market offers you with originally handcrafted items. Unfortunately, make sure that you visit the place on a Sunday between 9am to 6pm. Handcrafted jewelry by local creative designers is found lined alongside typical Australian souvenirs in an array of stalls.

After the market, let us try and do some activities to generate some sweat. If you go walking towards Kilda Foreshore it's also wise to prepare yourself to rent a set of inline-skates or perhaps try a set of rollerblades at Rock 'n' Roll Skate Hire. The word rentals do not just apply to rooms or apartments. Wear your wheels and then move smoothly across the Esplanade. The spot is an attraction to fitness freaks namely; joggers, walkers as well as cyclists, especially on weekends.

Let's now feed your history thirst. The "Luna Park" is a historic fairground and is also a must-see for virtually any person, regardless of age. Surely you will smile when you see the iconic laughing face in the entrance. The best thing is that the admission is free.

Whenever the sun sets and the moon stands, it only means that it is dinner time. In reality, you could eat in your accommodation apartments or hotels. But if you're looking for a change go visit St Kilda's cheerful, consumption-centered suburb. Here you can try the 'Cafe di Stasio'. It's a spot that brings together fancy jazz, with well-groomed waiters plus many of the tastiest Italian food in the city.

After dinner, St Kilda has limitless choices for drinking. One of these is "The Vineyard" on Acland Street. It's a good place a couple of drinks. And in the end of these activities there are a number of St Kilda rentals for you to take a comfortable rest on.

Hockey $23.33 Hockey

Hockey

 

I’ve always wondered what is so different about hockey, why it is so different from almost any other team sport. For those of you like me who have also noticed something different about hockey but never quite realized what it actually is I HAVE FIGURED IT OUT!!!! Kids on hockey teams are assholes and not teammates, they have no respect for any other kids except there little boyfriends that are on the team. That’s why hockey teams with good players don’t always prevail unlike football, basketball, soccer or volleyball. In hockey a lot of the time I didn’t only have to worry about playing well and working hard, I had to worry about doing everything right, like tying up my skates the right way or putting on my equipment in a certain order, or not having a bag with wheels on it. If I did things like that I would be ridiculed and put down by the other players. I used to always be one of the top three players on my team. Over that last three years I have declined and declined to the point where now I don’t even play competitive anymore. The kids have been just so mean and rude to me where I’m so afraid to make a mistake ort do something wrong that I can’t even worry about the actual game of hockey I can only try to avoid being harassed and made fun of. I used to love hockey and I always used look forward to that big game on Saturday or a scrimmage at the end of practice, now my minor hockey career has been looked back upon as some of the worst, not fun years of my life and now I wonder why kids on hockey teams are such assholes. I’m playing football this year in Gr. 10, I noticed that kids don’t make fun of one another; kids don’t harass kids about what they wear or how they play, or what equipment they have. When kids make embarrassing mistakes, the players correct you and help you get better like teammates should. You don’t have to worry about anything but playing the game and improving your skills, social status doesn’t help you make the team or gain respect, just putting in a solid effort and being a part of the team is all it takes, and that’s all it should take, teammates shouldn’t put one another down, but should be respectful of one another. I’m a 15 year old kid, and It sure takes a lot to put me in tears, only happens about once every few years, when I’m in tears not understanding why hockey isn’t fun anymore, I know that there is a problem.

 

So thanks a lot to all the people that ruined my minor hockey experience, fuck you!!!

 

 

What the hell is wrong with hockey..

Skating: fun and fitness at any age

Many people are in awe when they see inline skaters whizzing through parks or even along streets. They envy not only the skater's obvious skill, but also the notion of being able to reach a destination so quickly and in a way that helps keep the skater physically fit. The good news is that people of all ages are capable of learning to roller skate and that that inline skater could soon be you.

Roller skating is recommended by many health experts as a very effective way of keeping fit and of improving both muscle tone and cardio-vascular performance. Roller skating has also proven to be extremely beneficial in relieving stress and other mental anxieties. It is also, one or two odd bye-laws notwithstanding, generally permitted in most public places including parks.

Recreational inline skates, or rollerblades, skates with wheels positioned in a single line, are ultimately the best roller skates to use for this type of skating since they achieve higher speeds more quickly and easily. Many novice skaters, however, tend to find they can start to learn more easily and with more stability by wearing quad roller skates - skates with two rows of wheels.

The wearing of full safety gear, including helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, and wrist guards is of course essential, whether the skater is a beginner or more experienced. Reflective clothing is also recommended during dusk and other dull or dark periods. Finally, there are many skating training course available locally. All that is usually required to attend such courses is the ability to stand and move unaided whilst wearing the skates, and to be able to stop.
