This truck came to THE West Coast Canada from Santa Ana California about 5 years ago. It has about 50% original paint, beautiful Desert Tan, with the odometer reading only 1920.5 miles. It is a Calif emissions truck. The 2F was desmogged with a header when I bought it. Since I have owned it, I have had the head rebuilt and new BFG 32s on white spoke rims and a set of mint new hub caps come with it too. I sent carb out for rebuild and installed new radiator. Truck was repainted before me because the desert sun faded the original paint. It has a factory winch front bumper, and an aftermarket Tuffy box. Seats and dash pad are like new and stock. The truck is really rust free except for small, surface rust areas and the driver’s lower door. The frame is as clean as the top side. Runs and drives perfect. Has factory 4SP, front disc brakes, and interior is all stock and original in great shape. Heater works as it should, very cozy FJ pod. Dealership installed Warn locking hubs. Brakes recently done. Driver’s seat has one split easy repair. Since I have owned the truck it has been used only for local errands and never off road. Comes with all original dated Owners Manuals and Docs. Decided to sell as I need a larger back area for my German shepherd. I am about 4 hours North of Seattle WA. Can email more pictures upon request.

Note: Listed locally for sale, I reserve the right to end auction at any time. Buyer responsible for shipping of so required. Email if you have any questions will offer up what I know. Thank you and Happy Bidding!

Toyota recalling 10k vehicles to fix wiper switches

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

Toyota has announced a voluntary recall covering approximately 10,000 cars in the United States. Affected models include the 2013-14 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2013-14 Avalon and Avalon Hybrid, and the brand new 2014 Corolla.
The problem, as Toyota explains it, is that, "During manufacture of the wiper switch assembly in the involved vehicles, certain contacts on the switch terminal could have been manufactured incorrectly." This could lead to a short in the circuit when the wiper switch is moved between "off" and "mist," and thus, cause the windshield wipers to stop working. Not good.
Toyota will contact owners via first class mail, and the vehicles can be repaired at dealerships, free of charge. Have a look below for the automaker's official statement.

Toyota confirms C-HR crossover to debut at Geneva

Tue, Oct 20 2015

With the compact crossover segment booming with new entries, Toyota soon intends to burst into the popular market with a production version of the C-HR concept. The rakishly styled, little CUV will show off its final face at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show next March, and European sales will start before summer, Autocar reports. Customers in the US will likely get to drive the angular model, too. The C-HR concept's chiseled shape is expected to make the transition to the road largely unaltered. According to Autocar, customers reportedly really dig the razor-sharp look versus a more conventional CUV design. A hybrid is also expected to be included in the production powertrain lineup, but non-electrified options could be available, too. The Japanese automaker last displayed the C-HR at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show. Underneath the avant-garde shape, the Toyota New Global Architecture provided the underpinnings, and a hybrid powertrain was there for propulsion. The concept's general design idea was actually the revival of a three-door crossover from the 2014 Paris Motor Show. In addition, the production C-HR is expected eventually to arrive in the US but likely wearing a Scion badge. Spy shots highly suggest that a crossover is already under development, and the entry would give the division a much-needed challenger to the Nissan Juke, Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, and plenty of others. Plus, the brand is keeping it absolutely no secret that a third, new model is on way to join the iA and iM.
