1974 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj40: Clean One Owner 96,123 Runs Great on 2040-cars

Hello, and welcome to my FJ40 auction. I am the second owner of this vehicle and she has been my daily driver for the last few months.The odometer has not turned yet and sits at 96,123 miles.
 I got the Land Cruiser from Teton Toyota here in Idaho after they decided to retire her. She was used for hunting and camping, as well as some plowing in her day. 
This rig is really solid and is in excellent condition. The engine, transmission, transfer case, lights, heaters and all of the switches work. This FJ40 was taken care of and received regular oil changes and maintenance. 
The vehicle itself is in excellent condition and doesn't have much rust for a Cruiser. The only real rust is on the drivers side floor pan and below the rocker panel on the drivers side. The drivers side floor pan is still functional but will need to be replaced at some point. 
This FJ40 is stock as they come and is all original minus the rear floor.

Here is a list of the original OEM part on this vehicle:
The engine 4 speed transmission and transfer case are all stock. The engine is all original including the air intake, carburetor, etc...
The entire body, frame, axles, etc are stock with no aftermarket parts.
The interior is all original including all of the switches, lights, and all four seats
The doors and hatch are all original and in excellent condition. The front and back doors are entirely rust free, and are some of the most beautiful FJ40 doors I have ever seen.
You can see that most of this vehicle is stock and in great condition.

I personally really like the 1974 FJ40 because it was the last year of the hatch, but it also was the first year of the 2F engine and the 4 speed transmission.
I know from past experiences that those ambulance doors are really dangerous for small kids and fingers in general if you don't secure them. The hatch never fails as long as you have it lifted high enough to get under it without smacking your dome.
This was also the last year of the older style doors which in my opinion are the coolest of the FJ40 doors. That at least goes for the retro steel interior.

This FJ40 would be an ideal restore project, daily driver, or hunting rig. It does have a little rust along the driver side but the fender, frame,  back end, and undercarriage are really solid.
The Cruiser has not been modified at all and is all original.
The front seats will need to be reupholstered, and the drivers side rust will need to be replaced with new steel. The hood will also need to be buffed out and repainted. There is also a small dent on the hood that will need to be pounded out if you want to do a full restore. 
I do have a pristine hood for this Cruiser if the lucky winner is interested in purchasing it from me for $75.00. I will throw it in the back of the FJ40 for you:)

I have a video on Youtube that shows the car running, shifting, driving, and a complete walkthrough.
I can also store the vehicle for 30 days once payment is made if you need time to arrange shipment. You will need to pay me to store it any longer than that.
Payment must be made within one week of auction ending. Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day:)

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

Vice chronicles Okinawa's illegal street racing scene

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

We all know that street racing is dangerous, and that motorsports are best left on the track or drag strip. However, that doesn't mean that there still isn't some outlaw allure among enthusiasts of racing on public roads. In this video, Vice Japan profiles Eikichi Nagayoshi of Japan's island of Okinawa. He is a used car dealer by day and an illegal racer by night.
Nagayoshi has a deep love for his highly customized Toyota Aristo (better known to us as a first-generation Lexus GS) that he claims produces over 1,000 horsepower and has hit 205 miles per hour. He races his car both on drag strips and in drifting competitions, but says that he often has to ship the car to mainland Japan to compete. In the absence of those opportunities, he sometimes gathers friends and takes the racing to the public roads. While we're not down with street racing, this Vice video is an intriguing personality piece, as well as a look into Japan's fabled underground racing scene. Scroll down to check out the video, but make sure you have the "CC" button clicked, because several portions are subtitled.

Toyota recalling 1.67 million vehicles worldwide in 3 campaigns

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Toyota is issuing three separate recalls covering 1.67 million vehicles worldwide with most of those models in Japan. It looks like the campaigns' impact on the US may be smaller, though. According to Reuters, Toyota isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or fatalities affecting the models. Some yet-unnamed Lexus models might also be affected.
The largest of the campaigns does not currently affect any US-market vehicles. About 802,000 units of the Toyota Crown Majesta, Crown, Noah and Voxy in Japan are being repaired to replace a seal that could leak in the brake master cylinder. Those already leaking get a new brake booster, as well, according to Reuters.
The only recall currently believed to affect the US is due to a problem covering approximately 759,000 vehicles with 423,000 of them here. The repair is to fix a faulty fuel delivery pipe that could cause a fire if the fuel leaks out. Unfortunately, we don't know which models it covers. Autoblog spoke to Toyota spokesperson Mona Richard and was told the information was still "under embargo." When exactly that embargo will lift isn't yet known, but we're on the case.
