What I have for sale is a rebuilt (not frame off) post 9/75 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. This is a beautiful truck that has had A LOT of work done to it. I just returned from 500 miles of highway, beach and small town driving. This truck cruised at 65-70 mph (appx. 12-14 mpg) and the 4x4 engaged smooth and strong. Its my daily driver and can be your daily driver as well--so the mileage will vary slightly when you get it--you just have to like stick shift! It starts up, drives, and is damn near BONE STOCK. Its clean, very little rust (the small amounts are surface). I bought this from a barn in PA and luckily it was rhino-lined inside and out -- after that, Ive completely rebuilt her. Most of this work was done by Black Wolf Auto in Woodbridge, VA and Trademark Classics in Harrisburg, PA. SOME of the work done (yes, I have the receipts):Engine: 1. Completely rebuild the 2F engine. This is bone stock. Drives perfectly -- starts every time -- has about 3k on the rebuilt engine. 2. Brand new alternator from 84 FJ40 -- internal regulator increases voltage to 60 amps. 3. Brand new high volume radiator -- this engine will not overheat. 4. New Distributor and distributor cap. 5. Rebuilt gearbox and transfer case. 6. Safari Snorkel with safari pre-snorkel, stock (1984) filter installed inside the vehicle. 7. New 38mm Carburetor timed for the vehicle. Works great. 8. Just pulled the crank shaft and redid all of the seals - does not drip oil, does not smoke. Oil pressure is perfect. 9. Dash mounted kill switch for when you leave your car in the city. 10. New spark plugs.11. Petronix electronic 1. Rebuilt brand new tie rods/ends -- no worries there. 2. New Toyota shocks (recommended, but you could easily go to Bilstein especially if you wanted to lift her).3. HFS steering stabilizer that works and looks great. 4. JTO Outfitters disc brakes up front and rebuilt stock drums brakes in rear (keep it original!) -- no troubles slowing down the 2F in DC traffic. Interior: 1. Reupholstered front seats -- I keep them covered. The rear seat is a bench seat that folds down.2. Tuffy box installed -- cup holders are in the rear. (I also have the original that is in great shape).3. BTB Box front locking box installed in place of dash pad.4. New Aussie mat fitted and installed with new transfer case/shifter boot.5. Used (but great shape) rear OEM Toyota hard mats. Externally:1. JTO Outfitter winch ready (looks super stock) front bumper. 2. Specter Off-Road rear swing out with dual jerry can holders (included), Hi-Lift Mount (included), axe and shovel handels and lighted license display. 3. CCOT rear tailgate installed.4. Safari Snorkel with Safari Pre-fileter (The regular pre-filter is included). 5. Besttop softtop with soft doors and also the normal hard doors. 6. New windshield wipers, wiper reservoir, and hardware (wiper fluid is intermittent for some reason).7. Brand new Hella Black Magic fog lights -- with dual internal switches.8. New Toyota/4x4 logos and rear flares installed on passenger and driver side.9. CCOT front license plate holder.10. Front Wheeling Hooks on bumper.11. Front Stock hard doors come with the vehicle, painted the same color. The driver side window has a crack in it (appx. 100 to buy) but the window regulator works just fine. 12. This car was repainted in a sort of Willys/military paint job. It looks good but if I held on to it, Id bring it back to Arctic white (original color). Some chips, some bubbles, but this car gets looks and folks generally lose their mind when you drive it. Thats a list of work done -- but Im sure Im leaving something out. Its a damn strong runner and will continue to be forever -- just depends on how you maintain her. You could put 10k into this and sell it for 50 or drive it for the next 20 years as is -- everything works very well. I have clean title (titled in VA) and passed safety inspection (No need for emissions). Car is tagged and titled in VA.

2014 Toyota Tundra
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Raising A White Flag To The Competition
We all benefit from highly competitive battles. In the automotive sector, few campaigns are so closely fought as the decades-long struggle for supremacy in the fullsize half-ton pickup truck segment. The Ford F-150 has dominated for ages, but Chevrolet, Ram and GMC have been closing the gap with freshly redesigned trucks that are rocking the industry.
Today's half-ton trucks are better than they've ever been, and we have fierce competition to thank for that.
Will Toyota lose up to 70% of its workforce in TX relocation?
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Toyota's decision to move its US headquarters from its longtime home in Torrance, CA, to Plano, TX, was one of the biggest stories in the automotive industry this spring. With several months since the announcement, more details about the plan have leaked out. It seems that pulling up stakes could mean an even larger shakeup in the Toyota workforce than first thought.
According to Automotive News, Toyota intends to hang onto around 50 percent of its workforce in the move to the Lone Star State. However, even that figure might be optimistic. According to an unnamed insider speaking to AN, there is a fear the actual number could be closer to 30 percent. For comparison, Nissan retained about 42 percent of its workers in its move from California to Tennessee.
The actual percentage making the move is a mystery because Toyota is still rewriting its job descriptions under a single set of guidelines. The changes affect benefits, bonuses and the reporting structure, according to Automotive News, and employees' reactions could play a big role in who decides to go. According to an unnamed worker speaking to AN, the wait is hurting morale. Some people are even applying at the nearby Honda headquarters.
TMG's super Lexus LS Sports 650 gets track tested
Thu, 05 Sep 2013The people at Toyota Motorsport GmbH have been responsible for the Japanese automaker's motorsports efforts since the 1970s, but since Toyota pulled out of Formula One after the 2009 season, the tuning shop has been developing a super sedan based on the Lexus LS called the Sports 650. Details on TMG's first road car have been scarce, but XCAR was recently invited to drive the 641-horsepower Lexus on track.
Here's what we know: the Sports 650 has enough power to sprint to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds, tops out at 199 mph, weighs over two tons and utilizes LFA brakes. Oh, and its twin-turbo V8 bellows like an AMG V8. That last part isn't surprising when considering TMG could become Toyota's in-house tuning arm - like AMG is to Mercedes-Benz. As for the bespoke body kit, fender flares and stacked exhaust pipes? They fit the car well and even remind us a bit of Lexus' other high-performance sedan, the IS F. Currently there are no plans for the Sports 650 to be made into a production car, but we doubt TMG is devoting this much effort developing the LS into a road-rocket for nothing.
Check out XCAR's video below to see the AMG-fighter wrung out on track, and then ponder what could be if TMG were let loose to fiddle with other cars in Lexus' lineup. Now that's something we could get used to!
