1970 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj40 on 2040-cars
Ontario, Oregon, United States
This is a nice Cruiser that could and would be my daily driver if I didn't need a pick-up for work. I bought it about 8 years ago in Nampa, Id. The previous owner said he brought it up from California. Thats about all I know of its history. There are more things that I have fixed or upgraded over the last 8 years than I can remember but I will try to get most of it on here.
-Rebuilt original F155 Toyota 6 cylinder motor with plenty of pep and power. (about 10,000 thousand miles since rebuild.) -Radiator was rodded when engine was rebuilt. -Upgraded Australian H41 4 speed Toyota transmission. (This has a 4.925:1 1st gear rather than the American 3.555:1.) Still has the stock lower geared 3 speed transfer case which gives it a super nice crawling gear. And it is all stock Land Cruiser parts. -Center Force Dual Friction clutch. -Asian vacuum advance carburetor with vacuum advance distributer. (gives a little more pep and performs great off road even in high elevations.) -Toyota Mini Truck power steering. -New "HFS" 3 inch lift and 32/11.50 mud terrain tires.(about 60% tread remaining.) -U bolt skid plates. -Full custom roll cage with grab handles and a place for CB. -Best Top fold and tumble rear bench seat. -New dune beige paint. (2007) -Has Best Top soft top, summer top, and hard top.(Not painted or assembled but complete with some new gaskets and seals and enough paint, although its 7 years old, to finish it. All included with sale.) I had a body shop tell me that it would cost $1500 to repair all the rust and get the hard top painted and ready for install. Not too bad. ----WINCH NOT INCLUDED--- There is more, I'm sure. And there are lots of spare parts as well as stuff I have to still put on. I have black leather heated bucket seats from a Subaru and shoulder belts from a newer FJ40 I was going to install but have not gotten around to it. I will include all of this stuff with "buy it now price". This truck looks great but it is not perfect.(minor rust resurfacing, some paint chips and minor scratches from branches and things. "Desert pin striping" I guess you might call it. Gas will drain back out of the carburetor if the rig is not driven daily and make it take about 10 - 15 seconds of cranking to get started but it always starts and runs great. There are also a few small oil leaks but nothing serious. As far as I know these are the only mechanical issues. I get looks and compliments every time I drive it. But it is one of those rigs that I built and used for hunting and camping so the paint is no longer perfect. If you want a truck that looks good and has many of the upgrades needed for great off road capability then this is the Cruiser for you. I have owned and been building and improving this Cruiser with the intension of keeping it forever but an opportunity has come up for me that I would like to take advantage of so I am reluctantly selling. I can email you more pictures if you need them. Just let me know. Buyer is responsible for vehicle pick-up or delivery from Ontario, OR 97914. I may be able to deliver within 300 miles or so for a fee. I know we will be taking a trip to Lake Tahoe in a few weeks. So if you are anywhere in the southwest, this could be a good meeting place. Plus you could run the Rubicon with it. :) I will require a $2000 deposit within 48 hours of auction end. Remainder will be due within 4 business days unless other arrangements are made with winning bidder. I also reserve the right to end auction early as vehicle is for sale locally as well. I will check emails daily and get back with answers to questions as quickly as I can. You can also call me at 541-212-6873. Leave message if I don't answer and I will call you back as soon as I am able. *****RESERVE PRICE HAS BEEN LOWERED FROM PREVIOUS LISTING***** On May-29-14 at 21:14:04 PDT, seller added the following information: I do have a file full of receipts, both parts and labor, for nearly all of the work that has been done to this rig since I have owned it. I can also get you pictures of the unfinished hard top if you would like them. There is very little rust in that either. |

Watch this video diary of a 900-hp Toyota Supra build
Sat, 08 Jun 2013If you've ever looked at a car with nearly 1,000 horsepower and wondered why anyone needs that amount of thrust, you may want to take a look at the video below. In it, one gentleman details his descent into Toyota Supra madness, starting with a pristine factory example and stumbling down the rabbit hole of modification. What makes this particular clip interesting is just how honest the owner is as he explains the evolution of his car. He doesn't just prattle off a list of parts like he's reading the menu at an IHOP.
Instead, he painstakingly pulls us through the car's growth, detailing each iteration and what pushed him to the next stage of the build every time. From this point of view, it looks less like someone walked into a shop and lit a massive stack of $100 bills on fire and more like a quasi-logical progression of events. Or at least it does to me. You can check out the build in the video below, complete with plenty of Fast and the Furious references and racing. Win, win, win.
Toyota will steer clear of driverless cars
Thu, 04 Sep 2014Toyota executives say the company's primary focus is on safety. At least for the time being, that means the company won't pursue development of a driverless car.
Speaking at the company's advanced safety seminar in Ypsilanti, MI, Thursday morning, Seigo Kuzumaki, Toyota's deputy chief safety technology officer, said that Toyota envisions a future driving environment that optimizes the best of both humans and computers, not choosing one over the other.
"Toyota's main objective is safety, so it will not be developing a driverless car." - Seigo Kuzumaki
The Toyota GT86 Shooting Brake Concept is real
Fri, May 6 2016As a two-door wagon the shooting brake exists at the unusual but captivating intersection between practicality and sportiness. This Toyota GT86 Shooting Brake Concept is no different – it's a standard GT86, with no mechanical alterations save the grafted-on wagonette roof and hatch. It's fully functional, too, having turned some laps on Toyota's test tracks. It even has the blessing of Tetsuya Tada, the father of the Toyota 86 and its Subaru BRZ and (now rebadged) Scion FR-S, who's been protective of the original GT86 concept to the point of strenuously resisting any serious power upgrades. This isn't the first shooting brake concept we've seen from the Toyobaru twins, but it's the first Toyota-badged one. Subaru brought the Cross Sport Design Concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. So how did the GT86 Shooting Brake Concept happen? The story, as Toyota tells it, involves the company's Australian design team. They created a 1/4-scale clay model of the shooting brake, and showed it to Tada when he visited in late 2014. He was so impressed, Toyota says, that he had his hand-picked craftsman in Japan bring the idea to full-scale fruition. The Australian design team, in the outdoor-loving spirit of their country, immediately thought that the longer roof would be perfect for carrying surfboards and other unwieldy sports equipment. And it would be. Meanwhile, Tada and the rest of the Toyota corporation want to tamp down expectations. It's a design study, the company says, and it's just "testing the waters." Toyota won't rule anything out, and Mazda recently surprised everyone with the MX-5 RF's unusual and attractive targa model. Maybe in a world where Mazda felt confident enough to introduce the RF, Toyota can be daring enough to bring a sporty wagon to the masses. We can hope, and maybe if we all make enough noise together Toyota will make it a reality.
