1976 Toyota Fj40 Land Cruiser on 2040-cars

Year:1976 Mileage:90210
Location:

Spearfish, South Dakota, United States

Spearfish, South Dakota, United States

Great original, uncut 1976 FJ 40. Original owner from Idaho, did absolutely no mods to the Cruiser except had a sunroof installed profesionally the same year he bought it. Sunroof does NOT leak at all! Original headliner still looks perfect. 
Eventually sold to a couple who ranch in Wyoming. They kept the Cruiser original except for adding fender flares WITHOUT cutting the fenders.  Fenders are uncut and original. They also installed diamond plate.  I have removed the fender flares and diamond plate in the interest of full disclosure. There is some rust in the rear bottom corners and rear sill, though not nearly as bad as some I have seen. Easily repairable. This Cruiser has way less than the normal rust. 
I injured my knee last fall and have been rehab all winter so haven't done anything to it other than put new tires on it. Still has the caked Wyoming dirt on drivers side floor. So in the pics you are seeing dirt, NOT rust! Now it has to go because at age 56 my knee is not healing as it should and I just can't work on vehicles anymore.
I drove it 370 miles from Wyoming to my home in South Dakota. The floor boards front and back are all solid. Some surface rust on rear bed I have pictured, but NOT cancerous rust thru. The drivers side floorboards still have the sound batting that was commonly installed in the 1970's.
Mechanically runs great! Transmission shifts smoothly, four wheel drive works great, engine starts and runs awesome. No cracked or broken glass.  As I said, I drove it from Wyomng 370 miles with no problems. 

I purchased the following NEW parts that will go with the vehicle:  A. 2 1/2 inch ProComp suspension lift springs 
                                                                                                    B. 4 New ProComp Shocks  
                                                                                                    C. New Black Shock Boots
                                                                                                    D. New U Bolts
                                                                                                    E. New Bushings
                                                                                                    F. New SkyJacker Steering Stabilizer.
                                                                                                    G. New Dash Pad

New parts total over $1100 plus $800 for the New 33 x 10.50 x 15 BFG All Terrain KO's

Toyota reaches $1.2B unintended acceleration settlement in criminal probe

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

UPDATE: Just like that, Toyota has released an official statement confirming its $1.2-million dollar settlement with the US Attorney's Office. Our story has been updated to reflect this development and the automaker's official statement has been added below.
Toyota has reached a settlement over the criminal probe into its unintended acceleration problems, and the outcome is more expensive than first expected. The Japanese automaker has agreed to pay $1.2 billion to close the investigation among other settlement terms. The criminal inquiry focused on whether the company kept information from regulators and how it handled drivers' complaints about the problems, according to the sources.
Between 2009 and 2010, Toyota ended up recalling over 10 million vehicles worldwide over sudden acceleration fears. Fixes include modifying floor mats, gas pedals, and installing brake override software on affected models. In addition, Toyota made the latter standard on all of its new vehicles.

GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.

Dubai claims debut of Toyota GT86 sedan concept

Sun, 03 Nov 2013

Typically, when the organizers of an auto show reveal that a new car will debut at their show, we take notice. But this particular claim from the Dubai International Motor Show ought to be taken with a grain of salt.
As our compatriots at AutoGuide discovered, the Facebook page for the Emirates auto expo includes a post with an interesting claim: that a sedan based on the Toyota GT86 (known in the US as the Scion FR-S) will debut at the show. The Facebook post is accompanied by the image above, purporting to show the concept in question.
The strange part is that the organizers claim the four-door GT86 concept will make its "regional unveil" at the Dubai show, which would seem to indicate that the concept in question would make its international debut at an earlier show. Considering that the doors open in Dubai on Tuesday, that seems increasingly unlikely. All of this begs the question, If this isn't actually a four-door GT86, what might it be?
