1974 Toyota FJ40. This FJ40 runs very good. It has the original engine that runs smoothly, with no unusual exhaust smoke, or unusual sounds. The transmission shifts smoothly and all of the gears work as they should. The brakes work properly, and the tires are in very good condition. You can fly into Salt Lake City and drive this FJ40 anywhere. Please look closely at all of the photos. I want to be sure the new owner knows exactly what they are buying. The reserve is low and I have a clear Utah title. In addition, there are most of the parts for a PTO (Power Take Off). This FJ40 can be used as it stands, but it is not a show quality vehicle. It would not take a lot to restore it. If you want a show quality FJ40, this is a good place to start.

I want the FJ40 to be fully and completely described. With this in mind, I will go over all of the problem areas in detail. 1. There is old bondo in the rear fenders and in the rockers. Again, please look closely at the photos. I have taken photos of the floors from underneath and from inside. The back floor looks like new and all of the floors are dry and rust free. 2. The interior has splits in the seats, and one of the rear jump seats are missing. In addition, the dash pad is missing. 3. The top has an aftermarket sun roof. It works as it was designed, but is not original to the FJ40. 4. Some of the exterior badges are missing. These badges are available on Ebay and in aftermarket catalogs, but they are expensive. 5. In the lower part of the windshield, there is an aftermarket piece of chrome trim covering an old vent.

If you have any questions, please give me a call. My phone number is (801) 745-5835. I'm not a dealer, and I will gladly outline the condition of the FJ40. A $500. deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction closing, unless other arrangements are made before the close of the auction. If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks in your Ebay feedback score, please email or call me before bidding. I want this to be a good, straightforward, auction. Good luck bidding.

Who sold the most small/midsize pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates that, too

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

PickupTrucks.com has taken another look at the sales of its favorite vehicle bodystyle as part of an ongoing series. According to registration data from R.L. Polk, the Toyota Tacoma easily took the crown as America's best-selling mid-sized pickup, with 133,477 units rolling into new homes in 2012. For comparison, the second-place Nissan Frontier only saw 50,566 registrations.
We feel compelled to point out that before Ford pulled the plug on its ancient Ranger, the company was moving some 75,000 units per year. That number had shriveled to 15,662 by 2012, which was still enough to surpass the Honda Ridgeline. Interestingly enough, one person brought home a brand-new Hummer H3T as well. But mid-sized trucks represent only a fraction of total pickup sales. Dealers sold a total of 241,471 midsizers last year compared to 988,326 half-tons.
That segment was dominated by General Motors with 533,814 sales followed by Ford at 478,204. Ram Trucks trailed behind in third with 241,204 units with Toyota close behind at 229,769. Nissan, meanwhile, remains a distant fifth. Head over to PickupTrucks.com for a closer look at the breakdown in each segment.

Toyota GT86 turbo, convertible, sedan variants back on the table

Fri, 02 May 2014

Okay Toyota, make up your mind. Figure it out. Quit playing games with our heart. Either build a bunch of variations of the excellent GT86 (also known as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ) or don't. At this point, we're just tired of the back and forth. After no shortage of denials, an Australian website is claiming that Toyota is reconsidering convertible, four-door, turbocharged and all-wheel-drive hybrid variants of the GT86. Kindly pass all the salt.
It's not that we don't want to believe the Aussies; we do. But when the story lists the same "sources in Japan" as a lot of the other denials and confirmations about GT86/BRZ/FR-S variants, well, there's a certain sense of the "Boy That Cried Wolf," here. Ignoring all that, then, what does Motoring.com.au claim to know?
Sources claim the GT86 Convertible will arrive in October 2014, while the turbocharged and hybrid sedans are slated for 2016.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW plans for retired batteries; automakers support dual-standard chargers

Sun, Feb 1 2015

Toyota will test hybrids with silicon-carbide (SiC) power semiconductors. In Japan, Toyota has put the SiC power semiconductors into the power control units of a Camry Hybrid prototype and a fuel cell bus for a year-long test. Research suggests the SiC units will decrease electrical losses while managing power supply, thus improving overall powertrain efficiency. Current power semiconductors account for about 20 percent of electrical losses, and success with these tests could mean more efficient hybrids on the roads in the future. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Automakers from CCS and CHAdeMO camps are supporting dual-standard charging station networks. https://www.autoblog.com/bmw/, Volkswagen (CCS camp) and ChargePoint announced plans to build "express charging corridors" by installing about 100 DC fast chargers, many of which will support both types of charging. Kansas City Power & Light is partnering with Nissan (CHAdeMO camp) and ChargePoint to install DC chargers that "will charge any model of electric vehicle on the market." This leads the folks at Green Car Reports to look into whether this ends the looming standard war between automakers in the US. Read more at Green Car Reports. BMW, Bosch and utility company Vattenfall are making plans for a second life for retired BMW i3 batteries. The Second Life Batteries Alliance project will recycle the old lithium ion battery packs - which can still hold a charge - in off-grid storage and grid-stabilization applications, beginning with a grid storage system in Hamburg, Germany. Bosch has created a battery management algorithm to extend the life of the batteries and make sure they don't cause harm to Vattenfall's facilities. Read more at Transport Evolved.
