1979 Bj40 Land Cruiser Australian Rhd 13b-t Turbo Diesel on 2040-cars
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, United States
|
I am selling a beast of a cruiser that is fun to drive and gets plenty of attention. The BJ40 started life in Australia, then over to New Zealand and then legally imported to the USA. All import paperwork and fee's are completed and I have a Idaho title in my name. I am in the middle of a 2 year restoration on my 82 Fj40 and need more $$$ , so the BJ is for sale.
12 volt, not the costly 24 volt system common in Canada and other countries. All blinkers, wipers, horn ect.. working 4 speed transmission/transfer case work great and drivetrain is quiet. It also has a heavy duty full floating rear end not found in the US. imported fj40's. EFS of Australia suspension system includes 4" spring lift with grease zirk shackles. Ride quality is good and little more firm than my stock 82 FJ40. Body and frame are in good condition, some typical rust issues are present in back seal, rear doors, bottom front door, top by windows and small areas in floor. I think it is cleaner than most on the road. Previous owner applied some rust converter to surface rust areas ,repair while you drive or go all out for the next couple years on a body off restoration. I personally planned on driving it as is, camping and wheeling without a care about scratches. This cruiser is a capable off roader , very unique and gets a lot of attention. If you are hoping that it is a 25-50k rig for cheap it is not, but investing $$$ into body, paint and interior work it would be money well spent and cruisers are climbing in value. I have it listed for sale locally and on other classifieds, so I reserve the right to sell. Any questions call 801-550-6042. Thanks |

Toyota recalling 615k Sienna models over rollaway risk
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Toyota has announced a recall affecting approximately 615,000 Sienna minivans due to a possible rollaway risk. All of the vehicles in question are from the 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009 model years.
In an official statement, the automaker states that the problem stems from the vehicle's shift lever assembly. "Because of the potential for damage to the shift lock solenoid installed in involved vehicles, there is a possibility that the shift lever could be moved out of the 'P' position without the driver depressing the brake pedal," Toyota said. Because of this fault, the affected Sienna models could roll away without warning, increasing the risk for a crash.
Owners will be notified via first class mail, and the affected Sienna models can be taken to Toyota dealerships to have the shift lock solenoid replaced with a new one. Have a look below for the automaker's official release.
Refreshed 2013 Toyota Landcruiser Prado gets official [w/video]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013We'd seen leaked images of the the refreshed 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, now Toyota has deemed it officially ready for the European masses it is aimed at. We can only hope the masses are ready for that grille, probably the most intense of the many changes made to the volcano-eating truck. The new face and its "powerfully projecting vertical bars" were designed to "accentuate the new Toyota's rugged appearance," as if the legendarily capable SUV wasn't rugged enough. Other changes include redesigned headlight clusters, stronger character lines along the sides, new taillights and license plate "garnish" in back, and a slew of new wheel choices. Both the three- and five-door are 20 millimeters longer, all of that in the front overhang, but the approach angle apparently hasn't changed.
The new organization of trims runs from Entry to Legend, Prestige and Executive. The interior has been reorganized with better seats in the second and third rows, a new upper center console, a redesigned panel for controlling on- and off-road driving functions, reworked Optitron meters with a 4.2-inch LCD screen, and new switchgear, fabrics and color schemes. Infotainment has been upgraded with Toyota Touch 2 and Toyota Touch 2 with Go. They mirror your smartphone if said phone happens to be either a Samsung Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note 2.
On-road driving dynamics have been improve with suspension changes, and a Rear Cross Traffic Alert added to the suite of safety features for maneuvering the beast. When it comes to the Land Cruiser's real reason for being, the five Multi-terrain Select choices and five-step Crawl Control are more easily used with a Multi-terrain Monitor reworked for more clarity.
Toyota MR2 shows why we still love the 1990s
Wed, 27 Nov 2013Was there a better time for Japanese performance than the 1980s and 1990s? It seems like looking back, Japan was on a roll, producing cars that were affordable, economical, reliable, fast and lightweight. And while all the attention is - thanks to a certain film series - focused on cars like Toyota Supra and Mazda RX-7, there is a lesser-known model that's establishing its own enduring legacy without the help of Paul Walker and Vin Diesel.
The MR2, affectionately known as the "Mister Two" to fanboys, first arrived in 1984 as a lightweight, mid-engined sports car that proceeded to eat the lunch of the Pontiac Fiero in terms of performance. That car was replaced in 1989 with the more familiar, rounded-out MR2, which is the subject of this latest video from the team at Petrolicious.
The video takes a look at a group of MR2 drivers, and attempts to explain what it is about the car that is destined to make it a future classic. Scroll down to see Petrolicious examine the MR2 Connection.
