You won't find another FJ40 like this one. This truck is on consignment with Land Cruiser Nation. I sold it to the current owner and I personally owned it myself. Having owned and driven scores of FJ40 I can honestly say this one takes the cake! Attention to details is obvious at a glance and even more apparent on close inspection. It's a drop dead gorgeous Land Cruiser that is excessively high quality, tough and functional. This FJ40 was originally shipped to Puerto Rico and then on to Colombia. She was owned by a gentleman that worked for the American Embassy and was eventually rebuilt by hand before being shipped home to TX. Always garage kept and runs as good as it looks, this FJ40 has been driven about 6,000 miles since receiving a complete frame-off restoration by skilled artisans at a premier Land Cruiser shop in Colombia. Every inch of this truck was well thought out and built to outlast it's owners. The current owner continued that tradition by upgrading the suspension to the state-of-the-art Old Man Emu springs and matching shocks.

Rebuilt 4.2 L (4230 cc) Toyota 2F engine, All nuts, bolts, brake lines, fuel line and other engine components have been refurbished, re-plated or replaced with new OEM parts. Toyota Power steering. All wheel disk brakes. Custom fabricated OEM style soft top and soft ambulance doors with matching custom seats and door panels in beautiful and tough-as-nails waxed canvas. The floors are covered in a custom carpets and the steering wheel is wrapped in black leather. The underside of the tub is lined with color-matched Reflex™ and the body painted with Dupont Polyurethane paint in Dune Beige. There is a front bull bar and off-road lights you will see in the pictures that are not currently installed, but are included. WARN 9500i High Speed Winch, New clutch disk and clutch master, new pressure plate, replace all seals, new battery, new transmission and motor mounts, new Toyota OEM Smog pump and emissions vacuum valves, new OEM radio antenna and five newer Kuhmo MT tires.

The soft top is beautiful. You will never see another like it. It was hand crafted from a heavy waxed canvas. Inside this iconic 4x4 you will find a custom interior. The seats are covered in a matching heavy waxed canvas that is super durable and will wear like WWII Bomber jacket. The steering wheel is wrapped in leather and a custom crafted carpet kit pulls it all together. The Audio system includes an Alpine head unit with Pioneer power amp, Pioneer speakers and powered Infinity Sub all professionally installed with hand fitted speaker inclosures in front and in back.

You can get in this truck and drive it every day or save it for special adventures. If it's cold, button it up and if it's hot, roll up the sides! In back you will see something normally reserved for FJ40's in South America, soft Ambulance Doors! You will be ready for anything with the combination of a smooth running totally rebuilt 2F engine, 4 speed manual transmission, 4WD, front and rear disc brakes, Old Man Emu suspension and a Warn 9500i High Speed Winch. The frame, front bumper, rear bumperettes, rock sliders, bezel and wheels are powder coated in a gun metal finish.

2015 Toyota Sienna

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

It's hard to love a minivan, but it's very, very easy to use one. More than any other kind of vehicle - save a panel van, perhaps - the minivan is the most appliance-like of four-wheeled transportation devices. And most minivan buyers don't need to love their purchases; they just need to use them. So when it comes to a minivan's driving dynamics, who cares?
Well, we do. So we perked right up when Toyota talked about refinements it made to the 2015 Sienna, starting with some 142 added spot welds made to the body structure. Normally not stop-the-presses stuff, but Toyota says the added reinforcements prompted Sienna engineers to recalibrate the springs and shocks for improved handling, and our very limited wheel time along the (admittedly benign) roads on the Big Island of Hawaii revealed the 2015 Sienna SE model's handling to be tidier and more engaging than you'd expect for a porky, 4,560-pound, eight-passenger box on wheels.

Toyota announces GT86 CS-R3 rally car

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Toyota Motorsport GmbH has developed cars for all manner of racing, up to and including Formula One and Le Mans. But it got its start back in 1979 in rally competition, winning four drivers' and three manufacturers' titles in the World Rally Championship. And now it's announced a new rally car.
Based on the Toyota GT86 (better known to us as the Scion FR-S), the CS-R3 rally car isn't built to contest the top tier of the WRC, but is being developed to conform to the lower R3 class. That means a six-speed sequential gearbox, limited slip differential and upgraded engine, brakes, aero... the works. It'll retain the road-going model's rear-drive setup, joining the front-drive Yaris R1A in TMG's portfolio of customer rally cars.
Further details are set to be revealed "in the coming months", but the GT86 CS-R3 will benefit from the experience TMG accrued in developing the GT86 CS-V3 (pictured above) for the Nürburgring-based VLN endurance racing series.

North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014

Sun, 23 Dec 2012

Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time. You can head over to the Wards Auto site for the full report.
