1969 Toyota Landcruiser Fj40 on 2040-cars
Sandy, Utah, United States
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.

BMW i5 could get Toyota-sourced hydrogen power
Tue, 18 Nov 2014It's starting to feel like the automotive landscape is right on the cusp of a boom in hydrogen-fueled vehicles. After all, the Toyota FCV is nearly ready, Volkswagen is readying a fuel cell concept for this week's Los Angeles Auto Show and Hyundai already sells its Tucson Fuel Cell. The next big name to add to that list might be BMW, as the company's co-development deal with Toyota starts to bear fruit.
According to Autocar, BMW may use a version of the fuel cell system from the Toyota FCV in the future i5. As part of its eco-oriented i sub-brand, the i5 is expected to be a stretched version of the i3 (pictured above) with extra rear legroom and cargo space. It's unclear at the moment whether a battery-powered pure electric powertrain will also be available. If accurate, then the rumor could give the Bavarian brand a counterattack against Mercedes-Benz' planned fuel cell vehicle in 2017.
BMW and Toyota first signed the memorandum of understanding to co-develop fuel cells, lightweight technology and a sports car back in 2012, and they made the arrangement official in late 2013. So far, few details on the progress of the work have been disclosed, but the performance model has been rumored to use a front-engine, all-wheel drive layout with supercapacitors.
2018 Ford Expedition vs other big SUVs: How it compares on paper
Fri, Nov 10 2017With our Alex Kierstein rightly impressed in his first-drive review of the new 2018 Ford Expedition, we decided to dig a little deeper into the numbers, and we came up with the spreadsheet below to highlight how the new 2018 Expedition compares on paper to its main full-size SUV competitors: the 2018 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban (and therefore the 2018 GMC Yukon), 2018 Toyota Sequoia and 2018 Nissan Armada. We also threw in the new, even bigger 2018 Chevrolet Traverse since, as you'll see, its massive dimensions should put it on the radar for anyone who needs loads of passenger and cargo space but doesn't care as much about towing. A few notes about the chart above. First, the 6.2-liter V8 that's included with the new-for-2018 Tahoe RST trim level is the standard engine on the GMC Yukon Denali. You can apply most of the Tahoe's numbers to the entire Yukon and Yukon XL lineup. Second, though we highlighted categories where the Traverse led, we also highlighted the runner-up full-size SUV, since this was ultimately about that segment. Traverse numbers are broadly applicable to the new Buick Enclave.

Camatte concept puts the Toy back in Toyota [w/videos]
Mon, 16 Jun 2014It's been two years since Toyota first revealed its Camatte show car at the Tokyo Toy Show. Though sadly never destined for production, Toyota brought the concept back the following year as the Camatte 57s roadster, and is now returning to the same show with yet another take on the kid-friendly, configurable 1+2 with interchangeable body panels - this time with a slew of features that are fresh not only to the concept itself, but to the industry altogether.
This year the Camatte is being showcased in two forms: a bare chassis in the Tech Lab that lets kids see the inner workings of a modern automobile, and another in the Design Lab that lets kids draw their own motif for the concept that is then displayed on an LED hood.
The overall approach reminds us of the way Toyota's budget brand Daihatsu unveiled the Kopen roadster concept at the Tokyo Motor Show late last year, only even more kid-focused and decidedly more light-hearted than you might otherwise expect from one of the largest industrial giants in the world, and could only have been made for a toy exposition. In Japan. Which would explain the ridiculously upbeat videos below, where you'll also find the brief press release.
