Up for sale is my 1980 FJ40 Landcruiser. Lots of new parts and labor have been put into it including:
Complete body and paint restoration with $2,350.00 in receipts done by a professional.
Chevrolet 350 V8 conversion mated to the stock 4 speed Toyota transmission (flush just done)
Power steering conversion using a Toyota 4-Runner power steering parts
Rear disc brake conversion with an upgraded dual reservoir power brake booster
Line-X tub (black / interior)
Warn M 8000 professional (Made in USA) winch with remote
New HEI high output ignition with new wires and plugs.
Heavy duty swing away tire carrier, holds two jerry cans, offroad accessories
Newer chrome rims with newer tires
New windshield and wipers
New custom front seats
Locking front storage container in cab (where stock dash pad would normally be)
Comes with new tow bar
Newer floor mats with sound proofing
Brand new (expensive) headliner
All bolts that I have had to take off to do work on the truck (about 60% or so) have been replaced with grade 8, stainless steel METRIC hardware. SO, working on this FJ only requires a metric tool set unless you are going to wrench on the Chevy V8. As you can tell, I am a bit OCD with the restoration and the accuracy of working on this Toyota. I have spent hundreds of dollars on just stainless steel bolts, lock washers, screws, etc. :)
These are things I can think of, many more things have been done. This cruiser (mechanically sound) drives great at 70mph. Clean clear title in hand. This is not a frame off restoration or show room quality, but is an awesome rig ready to hit the trail. I get lots of compliments.
In some of the pictures the front turn signals were not installed, they are installed and working now. The weather was nice that day I took the pictures, but hasn't been as nice since I put the blinkers on. :)
Toyota FJ40's increase in value by 4% a year (average). This FJ was toward the end of the years they imported FJ40's into the U.S. Approximately 3,000 1980 FJ40's were imported that year - in contrast LOTS more were sold other years.
1973......11,218........FJ40 / FJ55
1974.......8,204........FJ40 / FJ55
1975.......9,050........FJ40 / FJ55
1976.......9,236........FJ40 / FJ55
1977.......9,924........FJ40 / FJ55
1978.......8,858........FJ40 / FJ55
1979.......5,716........FJ40 / FJ55
1980.......3,058........FJ40 / FJ55
SO, this truck is very rare and in the condition it sits - it is even more rare. I have spent hundreds of hours on this vehicle and I am ready to start another project.
I will help ship the vehicle to a great extent. I will not pay, of course, but I will possibly drive the FJ up to 1000 miles from Reno to meet the buyer (please pay for gas). This FJ will travel across the US with no problems :) I just want a good home for my beloved FJ. Please contact me through eBay with any questions. I will be at the ready for the next week to respond.
Also, I have NO RESERVE on my FJ. Anyone that knows nice FJ40s knows what this truck is worth. I have faith that the buyer will still find a good deal here on ebay with my FJ, but I will feel good about the sale price. I am open to buy-it-nows, just ask.

Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race Scion FR-S [w/video]
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Toyota has been hosting its Pro/Celebrity race at the Toyota Grand Prix on Long Beach since 1977. The charity event, which has raised millions of dollars over the years, traditionally pits Hollywood celebrities against professional athletes (including race car drivers) on the full Grand Prix course in modified street vehicles. The short, sprint-style race is popular with the crowds as the amateur drivers race uninhibited - the result is an action-packed race with plenty of excitement and automotive... er... carnage.
Over the decades, the drivers have raced a variety of Toyota products including last year's front-wheel-drive Scion tC. But this year, Toyota announced at the Chicago Auto Show that the new rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S would be stepping up to the plate. The good news only became better when Toyota Motorsports invited us out to Southern California's Willow Springs Raceway (the same circuit where the drivers train and practice) to be one of the first behind the wheel.
Driving Notes:
Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated
Mon, 02 Dec 2013Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?
Thu, 15 Nov 2012Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
