1974 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj-40 on 2040-cars
Poolesville, Maryland, United States
A Stunning and rare 1974, the Coolest FJ-40 year ever with the added stock 4 speed trans (3 speed in prior
years) and the remaining Hatchback rear doors (went to the dual ambulance doors with no open while driving ability
in 1975)! I had a professional Major Renovation Frame-Off, New Replacement Full Tub…done and completed 2005/6 by
Iron Pig of VA. Easily $60K invested! All painted Factory KTM Orange as individual parts at time of restoration by
Iron Pig’s preferred painter! A True Beauty who drives as good as she looks! Since all is almost better than
perfect I will list what is missing or in complete: One paint spot on hood showing signs of a potential to chip
(see pic). No stereo, rear seats Not install but comes with a nice pair with a special brackets to fit outside of
the roll bar. Rear heater missing (I have one but not that attractive but can be purchased separately if
interested), vent hose to windshield air defrost missing. Skid plate missing. Stock engine with maybe original
miles all checks out and runs good! (I was going to but a LT1 fuel injected in next…) All 4 wheel drive functions
work great, locking hubs, trans smooth will do 70+mph. I have a video showing drive, climbing, braking and speed I
can send you! Power steering works great (a must feature!). Full new tire tread life from new (maybe 2500mi on
them) Would prefer to have interested buyer come and drive her in person prior to buying… I have bought almost a
dozen vehicles w/o driving and have had some great luck but if possible come on over and take her for a ride! Front
wheel disk brakes stops amazing, parking brake great too! Great seals all around, no leaks. Windows a bit stiff to
operate but with all new parts and seals (unfortunately the front small vent windows do not open due to the
position of custom roll cage). Custom bucket seats with a Tuffy center console with all kinds of storage. Stock
under driver seat full size storage compartment. Many, many top quality parts and on going maintenance invested in
this very tough beauty!

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
Toyota to drop regular-cab Tacoma as small pickups take another hit
Fri, 02 Aug 2013Even as General Motors prepares to redesign its midsize pickups, the market for sub-fullsize trucks continues to shrink. The remaining competitors in the segment are the well-aged Nissan Frontier, Honda Ridgeline and Toyota Tacoma, and now Truck Trend is reporting that the latter will be dropping its regular cab model due to poor sales.
According to the article, the available configurations for the Tacoma lineup will be whittled down in 2015, which apparently spells the end for the two-door Taco. The Tacoma is currently the last truck in its class to be offered in a regular cab configuration, with the Frontier no longer offering a standard cab model and spy shots of the next-gen Chevrolet Colorado not revealing any glimpse of a short cab, either.
Toyota Prius owners targeted by tire-slashing VA vandal
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Toyota Prius owners aren't bad folks. With a few exceptions, they're just normal people that appreciate the comfortable, high-mileage hybrid. Someone in Arlington, Virginia doesn't see it that way, though, as 14 examples (and one Smart) had at least one tire slashed last Sunday night.
The serial tire-slasher didn't any items from the vehicles, but he or she has left owners with substantial bills and sour dispositions. According to a report from ABC affiliate WJLA, some citizens are considering the matter a hate crime.
Despite the targeting of Toyota hybrids and the acquisition of one fingerprint, police have been unable to make any arrests, as the slasher has targeted vehicles across the county. Take a look at the local news report from WJLA below.
