This is the FINEST FJ40 I have ever seen in my life which is why I bought it back in 2008. 


SERIOUS COLLECTORS READ ON.....

I have owned 5 LandCruisers and currently own four.  I have never seen an FJ40 in ABSOLUTE SHOWROOM CONDITION that is better than this one. 

AGAIN LET ME MAKE THIS VERY CLEAR - THIS IS A MUSEUM QUALITY 100% ORIGINAL FJ40.  Nothing has been cut, Americanized, or molested in this truck.   This truck is plated in Wisconsin as a "Collector" plate.   This means it is only legal for me to drive it to and from storage and to and from car shows.  During the summer months I would go get an ice cream with my wife on Sunday afternoons in it just to keep everything lubed and the battery charged.  Obviously it was stored in a climate controlled environment over the winters.  

In fact, speaking of car shows, this truck was accepted by the Iola Car Show in 2009 as one of 50 "Under the Tent" vehicles.  This was the year the show was titled "Imports and Foreigns".  Due to a family issue, I had to cancel and did not bring it to the show.  But the mere fact that it was accepted gives you an idea of the level of perfection of this vehicle.  

There are many very nice FJ40's out there that have been restored by excellent shops.  But this is the only one I have ever seen that was restored by a bona-fide Toyota Dealer!  I bought this from a dealership owner in Illinois in July of 2008.  I have driven it about 250 miles during the last 5 years.  I would be happy to discuss the dealer who restored it with you over the phone, I will even give you his number if you want. 

The pictures tell the story.  You could literally lick this vehicle in almost any spot without worry.  It is impeccable.  

RAREST OF THE RARE FACTORY PTO WINCH.....Check out the MINT AND FULLY FUNCTIONAL FACTORY PTO WINCH!!!!  Finding an FJ with a functioning and beautiful factory winch is like seeing a Sasquatch for crying out loud.   For the uninitiated, the FACTORY PTO WINCH is why this vehicle has three separate sticks on the floor.  One of the stick shifters diverts the transmission to the PTO.  Once that is done you go to first gear to deploy the winch line, and you go back to second gear to pull in the winch line.  As you can see, the winch line is coiled perfectly.  I only used it once to make sure it worked.  I let out about two feet of line and immediately pulled it in.  I did not want to ruin the perfect coiling on the winch spool. 

If you look closely you will notice the engine even has the required pollution control equipment under the hood.  Like I said, BONE STOCK. 

The only thing that I have ever had any issues with since buying the vehicle is that the transmission "weeps" a little bit after driving it.   Probably could be fixed by tightening the bolts but I didn't touch it for fear of over torquing.  

I have clear Wisconsin title to the vehicle and the mileage is listed as exempt.  This is because the truck came to the restorer from Canada.  The engine was completely redone by the restorer and runs perfectly.  

 Feel free to call me if you have any questions. 

WHY AM I SELLING THIS VEHICLE?  It is very simple.  I like to DRIVE my vehicles.  This vehicle is NOT a daily driver.  It is a Barrett Jackson level restoration and should be owned by a serious collector.  

You wont find one better than this one, maybe you will find one as nice, but not better.  

BUYER - THE VEHICLE WILL NOT LEAVE MY POSSESSION UNTIL I HAVE CERTIFIED GOOD FUNDS IN MY BANK ACCOUNT.  Also, I am a very busy person and I travel frequently.  Once you have paid for the truck I will accommodate your shipper in any way I can.  If I am traveling I can arrange to have my father in law meet you to ship the vehicle.  

Good luck and email me if you want to ask any questions.   My name is Dave.

Toyota brings TRD Griffon GT86 to Goodwood [w/video]

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

In the midst of the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed, there's a particularly special Toyota running up the hill. This special entry is a GT86 (the cousin to our Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ) that's been poked, prodded, and tweaked by the minds at Toyota Racing Development. The result of TRD's fettling is a nearly race-ready car.
Starting with the body, the hood, doors, trunk lid, and wings are all made of carbon fiber. The lightweight treatment doesn't end there, though. The bumpers, fenders, and diffuser all feature carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic, while the windows are now made of polycarbonate plastic.
Under the hood sits the same 2.0-liter boxer engine found in the standard GT86, but its six-speed manual gearbox features a shorter final drive ratio for improved acceleration. The coilover suspension has been firmed up, and a TRD mechanical limited-slip differential replaces the Torsen unit. The TRD Griffon rides on TWS 18-inch wheels and Yokohama Advan tires. To bring proceedings to a stop, TRD has fitted its own mono-block caliper kit, complete with more robust racing pads.

Toyota nudges US sales projections up to 2.25M

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

Toyota has raised its expectations for 2013's US sales for the third time since the end of 2012. The new target rests at 2.25 million units, when sales of Toyota, Lexus and Scion are taken as one. Subtracting Lexus, Toyota is still expecting to move over two million vehicles in the US by the end of 2013.
According to a report from Automotive News, the sales expectations came from Bob Carter, senior VP of automotive operations for Toyota USA, during a dealers during a meeting in Atlanta. The heightened expectations go along with Toyota's predictions for the US market as a whole, which it expects to grow to 15.5 million units by the end of 2013.
Besides an overall, national uptick in new vehicle sales, Toyota is also expecting a big push as it puts the next-generation Corolla to market during the second half of this year, along with the Tundra pickup truck. Meanwhile, dealers were shown images of a refreshed Camry, set to arrive in 2015, and reported that it's "more than a nip and a tuck," according to the AN report.

Toyota announces two recalls affecting 1M Corolla, Matrix and Lexus IS models

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

The recall bug strikes Toyota again. The automaker has issued a voluntary recall of three models that, in total, represent more than one million units. Around 752,000 2003-2004 Toyota Corolla and Matrix models are being recalled for airbag concerns, while a windshield wiper issue is causing the recall for close to 270,000 Lexus IS sedans from the 2006-2012 model years.
Completely unrelated to the small airbag-related recall issued earlier in the week, the Corolla and Matrix recall is caused by a faulty airbag control module that could potentially short circuit, which could lead to the front airbags or seat belt pretensioners deploying. The Lexus recall is due to a wiper arm nut that wasn't tightened properly, which can cause the wipers to not work when trying to clear heavy buildup such as snow.
Scroll down for a press release that includes more information, as well as details about how owners can contact the manufacturer directly.
