 HI, up for sale is a very clean and very well cared for 2007 FJ Cruiser 4x4. I have personally owned this and treated it like my baby. washed every week by hand, waxed every 3 months. Non smoker, no pets it has no oders inside. Only reason for selling is I need the money for a new roof on my house.  I am a ASE Master auto mechanic and have taken very well care of this with all services and maintenance done before or on there service intervals. oil changed every 3000 miles with mobil 1 oil and dealer oil filter, ALL fluids in entire vehicle changed every 30k. spark plugs changed at 30k and 60k. five new tires last year, 285/70-/17 brigestone dueler revo.  brakes new last year with hevy duty pads and rotors.  shocks replaced 2 years ago with bilstien 5100 series, at that time I put OLD MAN EMU 2.5 inch front lift coils and 1 inch lift in rear. It sits nice and leval and rides better than factory ride. This rides perfect no shakes, pulls, or rough ride. alighnment was performed and perfect. I am very picky and I assure you this FJ rides great and is in tip top order, being a mechanic I don't settle for anything less than perfect on my cars.has power window, power lock, cruise, auto trans,6 disc cd, locking rear diff, A-Track, backup sensors, 115volt rear plug. See Pictures It has a lot of nice add on accessories, including, light bar, 2 sets of lights, step bars, brush guard, Gobi rear ladder, front lower skid shield, tinted windows, hood vinal blackout (removable) trd cleanable air filter, tow package with heavy duty factory trans cooler.  wheels are factory 17in wheels that I had professionally painted with 2 stage collar and clear coat paint, not spray painted. Truck is florida truck and shows like new, has absolutely no rust. It has never been offroad use or in mud, or rock climbed like most of them on ebay will be. it was street driven only, look at pictures undercarriage still looks like new.   paint and body are in excellent condition, no fading of the paint, no sun damage, I always used sunshade when parked. body has NO dents or dings, paint has NO scratches other than a few light scuffs that are only on surface of paint and would probably buff off. only one touch up to paint on passenger rear door the size of a small pee. It was professionaly touched up with color coat and clear coat then wet sanded and buffed so it is smooth to the touch, Hardly noticeable. a few light scuffs to the plastic in the cargo area and a few light scratches to the black plastic on the bumpers, non in the paint. THEY ALL HAVE THIS on used FJ, I work at a dealer and see a lot of these. Overall it looks very well for a 2007, pretty much like new but I wanted to point everything out. The FJ has been in NO Accidents,  But apparently it shows a accident on the report that I wasn't even aware off until now.  Let me explain. I was sitting at a red light one day and a girl on a MOPED bumped into the back of me and hit the left rear tire and the silver bumper end. the girl fell over on the MOPED and got hurt so the police came out and did a report.  I had no Idea this was going to show up now as accident reported. THE FJ HAD NO DAMAGE, other than a scrape in the plastic on the left silver part of the bumper, the scrape annoyed me so I replaced the silver end cap on the bumper. I assure you everything stated is the truth, I have sold many cars and things on ebay, look at my 100% feedback. I already was offered $17,500 for trade in at CarMax, but I don't want to sell it for trade IN value because it is very clean and needs Nothing. Kelly blue book private party value is over $19,000.  I have about 50 pictures if interested I can send to email, probably will not have all pictures on ebay listing. any question ask. I have a clean and clear title in hand. Do not bid if you do not have the money or loan pre approval.  FJ can be seen or inspected at my location anytime.  FJ is also listed on craigslist so first money in my hand gets it, will be removed from ebay if sold locally.

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.

2013 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Practice Day 4

Fri, 28 Jun 2013

The fourth and final practice day of the 91st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is complete. Tomorrow everyone will make any last-minute adjustments and get their cars, their bits and bobs lined up in the pits for Sunday morning's this-time-it-counts run.
The Unlimited runners took on the top section of the course today, Sébastien Loeb and his big-mouth Peugeot acing the practice test again with a time of 2:11. Rhys Millen's team proved its got the engine issues of two days ago in the Hyundai PM580T sorted out, posting the next-best time at 2:27.16. The reason we had to dip all the way into the hundredths for his time is because he nipped Romain Dumas by just .31 of them, the Frenchman in the Norma M20FC PP running the course in 2:27.47. In fourth came the Frenchman in the monster Mini, Jean-Philippe Dayraut six seconds back at 2:33.
Time Attack competitors, also on the upper section, were led by Paul Dallenbach in the Hyundai Genesis Coupe with a time of 2:36, Porsche pilot Jeff Zwart crossing the line six seconds later at 2:42, fellow Porsche driver David Donner coming in another six seconds back at 2:48. Dallenbach has topped three of the four practice-day sessions, sliding into the second spot behind Donner only on Practice Day 2.

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015

Tue, Feb 11 2014

Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
