1968 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 - Beautiful Rotisserie Body Off Restoration - Details/Pictures Below
***This early FJ 40 Cruiser is an original Arizona vehicle and has not suffered the rust common with these trucks. I originally planned to just clean up the original paint & make a good driver out of it but I really enjoyed working on the truck & ended up going the extra mile on it. Here's a run-down of the vehicles condition*** Exterior: Stunning. Cruiser is extremely clean & gets tons of compliments when I have it out of the garage. I had it repainted the original Tan color that is so popular with these cruisers. I would give the paint a 9 out of 10. I stuck with the original emblems as much as possible - the hood, grill & side emblems are original - the rear emblems are replacements. The tail lights have been replaced. I was able to keep the original front turn signals & parking light lenses. The body was removed from the frame and the underside of the cab was painted with a rubberized undercoating. The chassis was cleaned separately, acid washed then painted with rust-inhibitor paint NO rust to be found anywhere. There's one small area in the paint that didn't get enough attention @ the Left Rear Corner (pictured). That corner has some light body work that wasnt prepped perfectly. The rest of the body is straight and clean.
Interior: Beautiful condition and totally redone. All new Seats front and rear including Foam and Covers professionally installed. Carpet, Seat Belts & Paint all new as well. The top dash pad is a re-covered original. The headliner install is fresh & not perfectly smooth (pictured) but in excellent condition. This was done professionally and I was told the imperfections with cure over time. Dash completely detailed.
Mechanical: V8 engine swap VERY well done with great power - Chevy 305 V8. Mostly stock, but has an early set of 283 Power Pack Heads (which are very desirable). Engine runs great & sounds excellent and not obnoxious with the crossover dual exhaust. No smoke, overheating and an easy start. The bottom of the oil pan does have a couple dents in it but the cruiser does NOT leak any oil anywhere. Tranny & Transfer Case are stock Toyota and work as they should. The Tranny has been converted from column shift to floor shift. Shifts smooth and the clutch functions nicely. 4 Wheel Drive works as it should. All new fluids including engine oil, coolant flush, tranny /transfer case/differentials replaced. Tune up done during restoration with new plugs, plug wires, battery cables & battery. Has an Electric Fan which is operated by an adjustable Thermostat located in the Glove Compartment runs at 190 all day. The front heater / defroster work, heater lines the rear heater have been plugged. The truck has ALL new brakes including master cylinder, slave cylinders, brake shoes, freshly turned drums, emergency brakes & cable. This Cruiser stops smooth and straight without surging. Wheels are Powdercoated White Rims with brand new Goodyear Wrangler Tires. The hubcaps are new and unblemished. Electronics: ALL lights and electrical items work as they should other than the Hazard Lights and Back-up Lights which I havent looked into. As for the gauges - Speedo, Fuel & Amp Gauges are working. The Interior Dash Lights (turn signals, gauge lights, etc.) are all working as well. Due to engine conversion, the Temp & Oil Gauges are not connected. Like mentioned above - cooling is controlled by the adjustable thermostat located in the glovebox and electric fan. Weatherstriping/Rubber: All NEW! The driver, passenger & rear doors all have new seals but do require closing firmly because of the new rubber. All windows have new rubber, including the wind wings & wind-up door windows. The glass is a mix of original and new. The Windshield, Rear Window, Driver & Passenger Doors all have new glass. The rear quarters & the rear radius glass are original very clean with a couple of VERY minor scratches.
*** OVERALL this is a fantastic example of an early Toyota Landcruiser. It runs and drives great and the hood, tailgate and doors all shut nice and tight. It is extremely clean and gets compliments every time its out of the garage. Im selling from my collection to fund other projects. I have a clear Arizona title in my name the Landcruiser is located in Phoenix AZ (Glendale) but can be delivered to Southern California at no additional cost to the winning bidder as I travel back and forth regularly. Any other location shipping and coordination are up to the buyer. PLEASE REMEMBER - the winning bidder is committed to purchasing this vehicle.

Similar to Jeep CJ7, CJ5, Early Ford Bronco On Aug-01-14 at 09:31:03 PDT, seller added the following information: I had a couple questions regarding the drivetrain of the Landcruiser. Its is the stock 3 speed transmission/transfer case. I've included a picture of the drivetrain during restoration with the body removed. Thanks and please continue to ask any questions!!! |

Scion xB death sentence uncertain, minor updates announced
Mon, 10 Dec 2012The last time we discussed the Scion xB and xD, in April of this year, it was to announce a report that both models were being killed. The vice president of the brand had said, "We don't have plans for a direct xB or xD replacement," but no date was given for the termination. Turns out rumors of their deaths have been greatly exaggerated: as part of a Toyota press release that summarized feature and pricing changes for 2013, the Scion xB was included.
The 2013 hatchback (above) gets a new front bumper and lower fascia with LED lighting, and the rear end gets a black diffuser. Stingray Metallic and Elusive Blue Metallic exterior hues will disappear, Absolutely Red and Nautical Blue Metallic will take their places. Inside will be light bronze metallic and chrome accents, as well as new seat fabric and the availability of the BeSpoke Premium Audio. It increases in price by $500, the manual costing $16,800, the automatic $17,750.
The xD (inset) has been left off the list and the Scion website it still hawking the 2012 car. But 2013 xD pricing and new features were announced earlier this year, the MSRP rising by $125 to $16,500. New equipment and options includes smoked headlight covers, more airbags and a two-tone paint job.
Toyota previews new C-HR crossover concept bound for Paris
Mon, 15 Sep 2014We're now just a few weeks away from the start of the Paris Motor Show, and when the doors open at the Porte de Versailles, Toyota will be among the many automakers with new wares to show - including the new concept car pictured in this latest teaser image.
Called the C-HR, the concept is designed to represent an "innovative vision for a compact crossover model", incorporating "a new design language with an engaging driving experience and a hybrid powertrain." The Japanese industrial giant isn't saying much else, but the C-HR is set to debut alongside the finalized exterior design for its upcoming new fuel cell sedan.
Toyota, of course, became a pioneer in the compact crossover segment when it introduced the first-generation RAV4 way back in 1994. If the silhouette is anything to go by, however, the C-HR concept appears to adopt a far more streamlined form. Watch this space for more.
New Toyota semiconductors could increase hybrid fuel efficiency by 10%
Wed, 21 May 2014Toyota may have an ace up its sleeve in the fuel economy wars, as it's developed a new type of semiconductor that will allegedly help the company's hybrids net a ten-percent improvement in fuel economy.
The tech is still in development, although Toyota is already reporting five-percent gains during testing, six years before it plans to implement the new semiconductor in production vehicles, meaning the ten-percent improvement doesn't seem like an untenable goal. That is, until you hear from Kimimori Hamada, the project general manager of Toyota's electronics division.
"We are aiming for great improvement in fuel economy and miniaturization," Hamada told Automotive News. "This is a very challenging target."
