Description:

1963 FJ45LV, one of the very first LVs imported to the US. We found this LV in Casper, WY where it had spent its entire life up to that point. We brought it back to SC and completely overhauled it mechanically from top to bottom. As you can see from the pictures, this LV has great patina and character that we fell in love with, so we decided to leave it as we found it by preserving its weathered state. While the LV is mechanically sound, the body is in an unrestored state, as stated, and being an LV, it has rust issues that are visible in the pictures below. The worst of it is in the rear quarters and rockers, especially the driver's side. Also the passenger rear wheel well has some damage from the POs run in with a tree. The floors on the inside are solid throughout, but the driver's and passenger's floors did have new metal welded in. Recently we took the LV on a off-road trip through Colorado where we used 4wd routes to follow the continental divide as closely as possible, criss-crossing the state on over 500 miles of the state's best trails. The LV didn't skip a beat and performed marvelously; I would feel comfortable driving it anywhere. Below I will cover the areas of the LV where we have completed work over the last year.

Toyota TRD Pro lineup coming next week

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

A mysterious Toyota commercial recently popped up on YouTube teasing a new TRD Pro lineup for the Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner, and now we're getting our first official word straight from the automaker on the matter. Courtesy of its Facebook page, Toyota is promising that the TRD Pro models will be introduced on February 6th, ready to "conquer the great outdoors."
This date just so happens to mark the first day of the always-truck-friendly Chicago Auto Show, so while Toyota isn't saying as much, we're almost certain the trucks will show up next week in the Windy City. It's not clear what sort of upgrades TRD Pro brings, but it definitely includes black wheels and a tweaked front end featuring a thick, single-bar grille and bold lettering in place of the stylized Toyota logo (shown above on the Tundra).
Scroll down to see the video, and head over to Toyota's Facebook page to see a teaser image of the 4Runner TRD Pro.

Construction of Lexus' first US assembly line underway

Thu, 09 Jan 2014

The ES is Lexus' top-selling sedan, but the Japanese luxury marque has never manufactured it outside of Japan. In fact, Lexus has never made any cars in the United States, one of its largest markets worldwide. But that's about to change.
Yesterday, construction began in Georgetown, Kentucky, on the first Lexus assembly line in America, the first concrete (or steel) step in a $360-million expansion of Toyota's plant in the Bluegrass state that will create 750 new jobs. The expansion was announced last April by chief executive Akio Toyoda at the New York Auto Show.
Once the new assembly line gets online in the fall of next year, Toyota plans on building some 50,000 units of the ES each year. Lexus sold a record 72,581 examples of the ES in the United States last year - 30 percent more than the previous year - so Lexus will either have to import some more from overseas or leave some buyers disappointed.
