Toyota Fj40 Land Cruiser 1981
I can’t begin to emphasize how excellent the condition is of the inside and out of this Fj40 . Not a screaming
fast, tear it up rig, but an unrivaled crawler in the outback. Never abused, it remains an icon of endurance, a
philosophy of engineering over-design, in this era of throwaway.
It is a very well maintained plug and play great running machine. With no hidden problems, this cruiser is ready
to go another 35 years. Starts, drives, and stops like new, as it should. The strength of this particular Fj40 is
how stock original and uncut it is. This cruiser has never been painted and is all there including the padded roll
bar,original dashpad with no cracks, plug in glove box light, original manuals, original touch-up paint, original
floormats with no holes or tears, crank up jack and tools, folding back seats, front seats that are in good
condition, heater console with cover and finally the original unmolested 6 cylinder high compression,
low-end-torque engine and its support hardware that was supplied when new in 1981. Original repair manuals for
engine, body and emissions are also included. Some manuals are in tattered condition but still usable. Under hood
emissions are there but not currently hooked up. The FJ also comes equipped with lockable front hubs, front disc
brakes,good tires, a classic safari roof rack, rear tow ball which is intended to tow and maneuver a small boat or
equivalent.
Cosmetically the detractors on this vehicle are the typical rust spots on the rear of the body. Since not
considered a structural problem, these “battle scars” were coated with rust stop and left as is.
The frame, springs, mounts and undercarriage are all in great condition. All front end steering linkage knuckles
were re-done not long ago as was replacement of the water pump.
If restoration is your goal you could add to this excellent original Fj40 foundation.

Consumer Reports calls on Toyota to recall older Camry Hybrid models
Thu, 31 Jul 2014Consumer Reports is calling on Toyota to issue an official recall of 178,000 Camry Hybrid sedans from model years 2007 to 2011, claiming that a pair of issues affecting the brakes are so dire they demand a more official action than what the company has undertaken so far.
The first issue, as CR tells it, relates to a clog in the brake-fluid reservoir filter, which if left untreated could lead to a number of dashboard warning lights. The "front brake assist could be temporarily lost," too, according to Toyota's own notice to dealers and owners of affected models. The company has issued a "service campaign" that will fit a new brake-fluid reservoir free of charge to any affected model brought to a dealer by June 30, 2017.
The other issue plaguing the fuel-sipping Camrys is being treated via a warranty extension, and focuses on the ABS brake actuator, a particularly expensive (both in terms of parts, at $1,000, and labor, around $3,000) item that is necessary for the anti-lock braking to function. There's also a related issue with the brake pedal's "stroke sensor," which like the actuator can lead to a very difficult-to-depress brake pedal. The warranty extension increases the coverage of the actuator to 10 years or 150,000 miles (whichever comes first).
Toyota restructuring US operations, possibly moving to Texas
Sun, 27 Apr 2014According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, Toyota is poised to announce Monday that it is restructuring its US operations, which may include plans to relocate some of its operations to Texas. Toyota Motor Sales has been located in California since 1957, and is responsible for North American sales, marketing, and distribution for Toyota, Lexus and Scion. According to Toyota literature, its Torrance operations presently employs 6,156 workers and represents a $2.3-billion investment.
Workers in Toyota's Torrance offices were abuzz about the possible relocation to Texas. One young offspring of a Toyota employee even posted to Twitter that her parents warned about the upcoming move, and she said she's refusing to go.
Rumors at one point had Toyota settling in Richardson, TX, just outside Plano. But Autoblog talked to Richardson Mayor Laura Maczka, who said she would be thrilled if that were true, but has not heard anything on the subject. Autoblog also emailed with Bill Sutherland, a city councilman in Torrance, CA, who said, "To date the only info I have is what I have read in the paper expecting a press release Monday."
2014 Toyota 4Runner
Fri, 02 Aug 2013I recently took the redesigned 2014 Toyota 4Runner for a muddy romp in Pennsylvania. While the mechanical bits and pieces beneath the body-on-frame SUV trudge forward into the new model year with very few tweaks, the truck "receives a rugged new exterior design and interior refinements that add comfort and convenience without sacrificing its hallmark performance capability and excellent value," says the automaker.
A quick visual scan of the 4Runner reveals a new front end with a more "aggressive" and "muscular" appearance (yes, I'm quoting Toyota) that includes new headlights, grille and hood scoop. A roof rack is now standard across all trims, too. While SR5 and Trail grades have a bland color-keyed grille insert that gives the face a monochromatic appearance, the range-topping Limited (shown above and in our gallery) snarls with a silver-plated chin that gives it a bit more character.
New soft-touch surfaces within the cabin provide a more upscale environment and a bright new Optitron instrument panel improves readability and functionality. As before, the SR5 and Trail models arrive with fabric upholstery or optional Softex seats (synthetic leather). Genuine hides are reserved for the Limited trim, which is also fitted with Toyota's unique X-REAS (X-Relative Absorber System) automatic suspension system as standard equipment.
