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 recalling 800k Camry, Avalon and Venza models for AC issue

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

Toyota has announced plans to voluntarily recall 803,000 vehicles from model years 2012 and 2013, over concerns with the air conditioning condenser housing. The recall covers the Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid and Venza, although the exact split between affected models wasn't available.
According to Toyota, the condenser can leak onto an airbag control module, which in turn could cause a short circuit. In most cases, this will just lead to an airbag warning light, but in rarer instances, the airbags could fail to deploy or pop out of their own accord. There's also a concern over a loss of power steering if the airbag control module develops a short.
It's unclear if there have been any injuries or crashes relating to the defects. Toyota will begin informing owners of affected vehicles via first class mail, and will ask them to report to dealerships for recall work, involving the installation of a cover on the condenser housing.

Toyota Prius remains best-selling vehicle in California, wireless charging tests underway

Thu, Feb 20 2014

About one in every nine new cars in the US are sold in the California. If we're just looking at the four Toyota Prius hybrid variants, then the number becomes closer to one in three. Tesla Model S battery-electric vehicle sales? Try one in 2.7. For the second straight year, the Prius was the best-selling car in the Golden State. Toyota sold 69,728 Priuses there, almost a third of the more than 234,000 sold in the US in 2013. Prius sales in California alone were up almost 13 percent. And Toyota's ready to build upon that momentum with a new version of the Prius Plug-in Hybrid, saying that it's testing a wireless recharging system in Japan's Aichi Prefecture and will start similar tirals stateside later this year. We'll make the wild prediction that some of those tests, which involves magnetic resonance, will be in California. Meanwhile, Tesla's numbers were, in their own way, were more impressive. The California-based automaker sold 8,347 of its Model S units in the Golden State out of about 22,300 nationwide in 2012, Bloomberg News reports. In all, advanced-powertrain vehicles accounted for 9.3 percent of California new-vehicle sales, compared to 3.8 percent for the country, Bloomberg says, citing Hybrid Cars and Baum & Associates. Check out Toyota's press release on its California sales below. Prius Medals In The Golden State Toyota Prius is best-selling vehicle line in California Wireless charging testing for Prius Plug-in TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Prius took home the gold in 2013 as the most popular vehicle-line in California for the second year in a row. The Prius Family (Prius Liftback, Prius v, Prius c and Prius Plug-in) took the podium in both 2012 and 2013 as the best-selling California vehicle name plate. 69,728 drivers hit the road in 2013, according to the California Auto Outlook Report, while 61,893 Californians joined the family in 2012. In the Golden State, the Prius Family outsells all other hybrid competitors combined. California drivers lead the country in adoption of vehicles powered, either wholly or partially, by electricity. 9.3% of vehicles sold in the state run on some form of electricity, according to the report. But despite the growing number of hybrid competitors, Toyota's hybrid leadership remains unmatched. In fact, one out of every two hybrids in California carries the Prius name plate.

Toyota FT-86 Open Concept would make a mighty fine droptop FR-S

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

There's nothing wrong with going topless. And Toyota is proving that its FT-86 (read: Scion FR-S/Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ) coupe is just as excellent with its roof removed. It may only be a concept, but this FT-86 Open previews a new droptop from the Japanese automaker to round out the Toyobaru sports car family. We're finally getting the chance to see the open-air FT-86 in person here at the Geneva Motor Show, and we're already yearning to take it canyon-carving.
Interestingly, the FT-86 retains the Toyota coupe's two-plus-two seating arrangement (we'd prefer a proper roadster setup here), but things still look good for this droptop two-door. We'll be curious to see how the car looks with its folding soft top in place (operated by fancy-shmancy electronics, by the way).
As for production intent, rumors have been flying about a production Scion FR-S convertible, but until we hear it directly from Toyota. Consider our hopes in check but our fingers crossed.
