For sale is my 1969 FJ40 Landcruiser.  I hate to see it parked on the side of the house, when I know someone else can enjoy it.  I start it a couple times a year to get the fluids moving, and that is about it.  When rebuilt (probably 10 years ago) the frame and body were sandblasted, epoxy primed, and painted.  The suspension is a simple spring over conversion which equates to about six inches of lift with a shackle reversal, and the FJ currently has 35 x 12.5 x 15’s.  The tread has almost 100% remaining, which goes to show how much it has not been driven.  The motor is a rebuilt (professionally) small block 350 with Fuelie heads, and under 1000 miles.  New headers and radiator round out the motor. The speedo cable is not hooked up, but I probably drove it less than 3 months after it was built.  After that, I moved to another state, and it has literally been parked ever since. The drive train consists of a SM420 (Chevy) 4-speed transmission with the stock FJ transfer case (also rebuilt), all mounted to a Center Force clutch.  The transfer case was converted to manual linkage removing the vacuum lines from the previous motor. The front end has a disc brake conversion, welded differential, and power steering. The interior of the FJ has a full cage and has been rhino lined.  Additionally there are bucket seats, a soft top and a bikini top.  Mounted on the front is a one off bumper, and a Warn 8000 pound winch.  The cable is bound up, so it will need to be cut and replaced.  Extras include a spare fuel tank in the rear, KC lights, and Auto Meter gauges (the water temp and volt meter need adjustment, or replacement).  I have a warn winch kit, and a cover for the cruiser as well.  The cover has a few tears, but I will include…at least it can be covered well if you choose to ship.  The body is pretty straight as you can see in the pics, but it does have the standard “FJ Rot” in the rear.  The FJ is ready to go, or could be a good start for a project, or additional modifying.  I tried to get as many pics as I could to show each angle.  I can try to get more if needed. 

I have described the FJ as best as I can.  Remember, it is a 1969.  I have been asked so many questions in the past when I posted locally.  Can it be a daily driver?  Sure….if you don’t mind no doors, heat, A/C, music, or getting 8 miles to the gallon.  Is it titled?  It is, and I have it.  How does it ride?  Well…it actually rides pretty good considering the spring over.   Drive it day one, or play with it a little and make it better.  It is pretty solid, so you should be happy.

Buyer is responsible for shipping; that includes pick up, and shipping fees.  I can drive it to the nearest shopping center or Home Depot parking lot for pick up if shipping.  I live close to a few areas.  I do require a non-refundable 10% deposit if purchased.   Email if you have questions which were not answered.

New Toyota semiconductors could increase hybrid fuel efficiency by 10%

Wed, 21 May 2014

Toyota 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."

Jim Lentz exposes more details behind Toyota's move to Texas

Fri, 02 May 2014

Toyota's North American CEO Jim Lentz has already given us a rough idea of what prompted the company's surprise move to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX from its longstanding headquarters in Torrance, CA. A new story from The Los Angeles Times, though, delivers even more detail from Lentz on the reasoning for the move, what other cities were considered and why the company's current host city wasn't even in the running.
Of course, one of the more popular reasons being bandied about includes the $40 million Texas was set to give the company for the move, as well as the state's generous tax rates. According to Lentz, though, the reason Toyota chose Plano over a group of finalists made up of Atlanta, Charlotte and Denver, was far simpler than that - it was about consolidating its marketing, sales, engineering and production teams in a region that's closer to the company's seat of manufacturing in the south.
"It doesn't make sense to have oversight of manufacturing 2,000 miles away from where the cars were made," Lentz told The Times. "Geography is the reason not to have our headquarters in California."

eBay Find of the Day: Harley-Davidson powered Toyota Prius [w/video]

Thu, 03 Apr 2014

Sometimes we pluck cars from the listings of eBay Motors because they're old and interesting, some for being simply lovely, some for rarity and some for pure fun. And sometimes we pick eBay Finds of the Day, because they're hacked apart Toyota Prius' with Harley Davidson V-twin-power; concocted by the same mind that brought you innumerable Jalopnik articles and is partially responsible for the joy that is the 24 Hours of LeMons. This time it's that last one.
A fairly subtle tweet from long-time Jalop contributor and well-regarded grease monkey, Murilee Martin, hipped us to this crazy Frankenstein Prius. Built from the bones of a 2008 Toyota and the heart of a 1986 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883, the motive portmanteau is, well... it's a thing.
Toyota's advanced Hybrid Synergy Drive has been unceremoniously wrenched and snipped out of the engine bay, making room (via an artful hole in the hood) for the towering, bored out V-twin. Or, as the maestro himself puts it:
