You are bidding on a 1978 Toyota FJ40 Landcruiser that has had some restoration done to it. The previous owner kept the vehicle garaged in Midlothian, VA and was only used as a fun weekend vehicle. The paint job speaks for itself in the pictures. No rust. There is some fading on the roof and some very small, minor chips/scratches but overall it is in great condition. The previous owner also made the conversion to a Chevy 350 V8 engine, 4 speed transmission. Starts and runs with no problems. Additional features: Mud King XT 32 x 11.5R x 15 LTM+S Tires, full custom roll bars, seats are original leather and are in excellent condition, Hella Fog Lamps (wiring still needs to be completed), upgraded metal brake lines, full Rhino undercoating, new muffler, tailpipe, battery, and car cover. The rear quarter panel of glass was fixed with Lexan DIY but should be an easy replacement for less than $50. Fuel gauge is stuck (unsure if it's the gauge or transmitter). Air conditioning does not work. Heater does. Radio works but an antenna needs to be installed. The front tires rub against the roll cage if you take a turn to tight or fast. It could use a 1-2" lift. Folding ambulance style seats in the rear. This vehicle is in good running condition and needs just a little more love to get it fully restored. Most of the restoration items are minor things. The only reason I am selling is because I am in the Navy and stationed in Hawaii. The vehicle is in Virginia with my parents. I haven't had much opportunity to drive it or spend restoring it. I had to buy another vehicle here in Hawaii recently when my daily driver died. I'd love to keep it but I just don't have the time to put into it right now and want to find a good home with someone who does have the time and money. The vehicle needs to be seen to be appreciated. It's a head turner and I got stopped whenever I made a run to the store or at a stoplight with people complimenting or asking about it.

2014 Toyota 4Runner Limited
Thu, 08 May 2014What would you say if we told you that outside of Jeep and Land Rover, the best brand for those who want to go off road is Toyota? Sounds remarkable, eh? But the truth is, Toyota's history of providing vehicles for the rougher bits of our blue marble dates back to 1950, barely a decade after Willys built the first Jeeps and only a few years after Land Rover made its big debut with the iconic Series I.
In fact, Toyota's start in off-roaders was with a small contract for providing the US Army with vehicles, during the Korean War. From that, the BJ was spawned. This Jeep-like vehicle evolved into the 20 Series and then into the iconic 40 Series Land Cruiser in the 1960s.
So yes, Toyota knows its way around the trails. While the Land Cruiser, deservedly, gets all the attention thanks to its impressive longevity, we're partial to the 4Runner, which is a far more affordable entry that serves as Toyota's challenger to the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Toyota celebrates 30 years of 4Runner with... incentives?
Mon, 24 Feb 2014Many Americans view their 30th birthdays as significant milestones, even though the average life expectancy here is more than 2.5 times that age. So you might think Toyota would be keen to party over the 30th anniversary of its 4Runner, since most models don't even live to half that age. You can put that idea away unless you consider discounts of $500 to $1,000 something worthy of cake and kazoos, since it appears that's all the birthday SUV will get. That's right, not even a trim-and-tape special edition or so much as a sticker. We asked Toyota for comment and were told they had "No other 30th anniversary 4Runner items to announce at the time."
So, about those incentives: they climb from $500 on the SR5 and Trail editions to $750 on Premium models and $1,000 on the Limited trims. Toyota says they're available at dealerships now and will last for the entire year. There's a press release below with a little more background, and there's a sad violin playing somewhere in the distance.
Disappointed, party of one, your table is now ready...
Toyota to offer sedan version of GT 86?
Fri, 11 Oct 2013Sources in Australia are reporting that we'll be seeing a small, rear-drive sedan from Toyota, based on the GT 86/Scion FR-S. Yes, a convertible variant is still in limbo, but a four-door sedan is in the works. It's unclear if the rumored GT 86 sedan would spawn Scion and Subaru variants (it's hard to cross all ten fingers while you type, but we're having a go).
Working with remarks made by the car's chief engineer Tetsuya Tada in his blog and a rendering from Japanese magazine Holiday Auto, the Australian site Motoring is claiming that the new model's wheelbase will grow about four inches over the current GT 86's 101.2-inch wheelbase.
Besides the larger overall space between the axles, the sedan will offer a more potent engine option over the current 2.0-liter, flat-four. Promising 268 horsepower, which is a big jump over the current car's 200 ponies, the new powertrain will be derived from the Hybrid R setup, shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show. If, like us, you're reaching for the salt, and we don't blame you.
