My son and daughter are listing this for me.
If you call or email me directly it will be faster. PLEASE CALL ME BEFORE MAKING AN OFFER. 208-360-1636 batpis@yahoo.com What we have here is a great 1968 Toyota FJ40. It has everything you could ever want on one. All that it needs is prep and paint. And mats. 4 wheel power disc brakes. No matter what anyone tells you, the drum brakes on these are a pain in the butt. Really hard to keep adjusted and they never seem to stay adjusted. The power discs are amazing. Its like driving a new truck. Full Saginaw power steering including new column and tilt wheel. I have a bad shoulder and manual steering can literally be a pain. This has a small wheel and I can turn the FJ with 1finger. It is really nice. New radiator and heaters. If you have owned one of these before you know what a pain it can be trying to defrost the windshield or keep it from fogging up on a cold day, not to mention keeping yourself from shivering. The front heater with new core and blower does more than you could ask performing those tasks but right behind you is a new school bus heater. You can drive with the windows down on a cold day. I have froze my butt off in old rigs all my life. You will love the heat. Air conditioning is provided by Vintage Air. You can look them up online. They make custom installations for these FJs. It fits under the dash like a factory unit. All installed except for the compressor. Everything You need is there. Just needs installed. The hard stuff is in already. So when its 100 degrees out. You can have the windows up and everyone is comfortable. The clutch, master cylinder, and slave cylinder are less than 2000 miles old. I have extra parts as well. Boxes. There are 2 extra clutches and pressure plates. The seats are very nice. Leather out of a 2002 Ford Focus. Very comfortable. They are leather and the driver seat is electric and fully functional. The rear jump seats are original and in very good condition. My grandkids love riding in them. Other than surface rust where paint has come off, this is a rust free vehicle. Any rust it had was properly cut out and new metal welded in place. A very nice job. The interior Is fully Rhino lined. It still needs mats or carpet. Glass is all very good. Doors have good weather stripping so no cool breeze on you when you drive in the winter. Tires have great tread. Has hubcaps even on the spare. Shocks are new. It has a 2.5 inch lift on Old Man Emu springs. Also included is a big Warn winch. It mounts on the front bumper. It has controls that mount in the cab so you can operate it from inside the rig. Engine starts right up and runs great. Trans is a three speed on the floor. Shifts smooth. Never pops out of gear. Tranny and transfer case both feel great. 4x4 works nice. I'm not a serious off roader but I've used it in the snow. Lights and turn signals work properly. Lots of interior lighting wired in. Nice easy to see turn signal display lights on the dash. Also comes with a tow bar. This is a great rig. With paint and mats it should be worth 20k All the hard stuff is done. And if you are looking for a fun family rig or maybe something for hunting or fishing you won't find a better built one for the price. I'm sure I've forgotten a few things so please ask questions. You'll need to jog my memory. Our life has changed and we just can't have all these toys anymore. Buyer is responsible for shipping. I will help with loading or whatever. I have a safe place to keep it til it's picked up. Sold as is. Thanks for looking. |

Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?
Wed, 13 Mar 2013According to the Toyota UK blog, engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer - product chief Tetsuya Tada - still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'"
Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off.
Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW. The engineer said that the GT86 was particularly helpful because it demonstrated just how successful a product conceived and designed by two different companies can be. While he didn't say exactly what Toyota and BMW are up to, it's clear the two are looking into a number of possibilities. It's an interesting read with a lot of
Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out
Wed, 11 Dec 2013With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
Japanese automakers kick in $800k for new charging-station company
Mon, Jun 2 2014Cynics may say that gathering $800,000 (total) from four of Japan's largest automakers is merely a rounding error. Still, Toyota, Nissan, Honda and Mitsubishi, along with the Development Bank of Japan, are putting those funds to good use. So, that's something. Last week, those five entities officially founded Nippon Charge Service LLC. The company was established to promote plug-in vehicle charging installations across Japan and the automakers seeded it with 80 million yen, or about $786,000 US. Those funds will be used to help business owners deploy charging stations at convenience stores, highway-side locales and other locations that will make it easier for plug-in vehicle drivers (of Toyotas, Hondas, Mitsubishis and Nissans, obviously) to get their juice. The automakers first announced they'd collaborate last year, when they said they'd work with the Japanese government to more than triple the country's publicly accessible chargers to about 17,000 units. No targets were disclosed as far as how many charging stations would be deployed this time out, but, in a move similar to the EZ Charge system in the US, Nippon Charge Service will also have universally-accepted charging cards available by the end of the year to drivers all of those brands' plug-in vehicles to make the charging process a little more seamless. Check out Honda's press release below. Japan Automakers Advance Electric Charging Infrastructure with New Company, Nippon Charge Service -Established to help build charging infrastructure for electric-powered vehicles (PHVs, PHEVs and EVs)- Toyota Motor Corporation Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. Honda Motor Co., Ltd. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation Development Bank of Japan Inc. TOKYO, Japan, May 30, 2014 - Toyota Motor Corporation, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd., and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation jointly established a new company, Nippon Charge Service, LLC, on May 26 to promote the installation of chargers for electric-powered vehicles (PHVs, PHEVs, EVs). The goal is to help build a charging network that offers more convenience to drivers in Japan. The new company will promote the installation of chargers, for the good of society and to expand the use of electric-powered vehicles. Related industries are also expected to benefit.
