 Toyota Land Cruiser restoration shop offers this 1971 FJ40. This was a barn find; I have the truck running and driving. I went over the major components; this is a mild project for someone who likes to tinker.  I get frequent requests for cheaper priced Cruisers, this one fits the bill. I bought this truck from the original owner’s family in the high desert of eastern Oregon. The original owner passed in 1996, this vehicle sat in a barn from 1996 until I purchased it in 2013. Very hard to find original type not hacked up Cruisers these days. This truck needs little things and cosmetic work, great start for a mild restoration.

I have 94 pictures on a photobucket link, eBay will not let me post that on this add. I will post the link in the open at the bottom when a potential buyer asks me a question, check the bottom of the page, I will also email it as well.

HISTORY

The original owner bought this truck in 1971 from a dealer in Oregon. He drove the truck on his ranch, also to his other home in San Francisco on occasion. He had the original motor rebuilt in 1994, replaced the clutch at that time. He passed in 1996; the truck was stored in a barn until I bought it.  I place wanted ads, and hand out cards in all the little rural towns I travel through, about the only way to get these type of barn find Cruisers.  Owner’s son contacted me, I winched it on my trailer and off to my shop. I tested the major components, have it in a running/driving condition ready for the new owner to make it their own.

MECHANICAL

The original F motor was rebuilt in 1994, the owner passed in 1996, not run since I got it in 2013. The motor has excellent compression, clean as a whistle inside, obvious very low miles on the rebuilt. The clutch was replaced in 94, operates well, 3 on the tree shifts well. We got the brakes working; it does run/drive/stop. The brakes need to be bled and adjusted. The original Toyota PTO winch is complete and works great. We cleaned out the carb, changed a few things to make it run. Good enough to drive on/off a trailer or down the street not dialed in enough to make a road trip. The expensive parts are in order, needs tinkering to be a daily driver.  Some of the lights do not work, looks like all the gauges work.

BODY

All the panels are original to this truck. This truck is pretty rust free speaking FJ40. There are some spots of rot, pics on the link show well. Spots on the passenger floor, spot behind the driver seat. Just small sheet metal patches needed. Surface rust in the bed. The fenders are un-cut, the frame is excellent, and body mounts excellent. The bottoms of all 4 doors are excellent. Original wheels and good tread tires.

This truck spent 10 days in my shop to get it to this point. We know it’s a good foundation to turn into a nice restored vehicle. Finding an original FJ40 is difficult, I know I’m redundant, but barn finds in rural areas are about it these days.  Everyone knows the prices on these have sky-rocketed in the past few years. Complete factory PTO winch is a huge bonus. I believe this is a great start for a guy/gal that wants to tinker/learn/mild restore one of these legendary vehicles without having to spend the huge dollars all at once to buy one of my perfect restored units.

I have a clean clear WA state title in my name in hand for this truck. I require a $500 non-refundable deposit via PayPal immediately after auction conclusion. The rest bank to bank wire, cash in person, cashier’s check within 5 days closed auction. Vehicle or title do not leave my property until paid in full. I will delivery this truck up to 300 miles from my location at $1.75 a loaded (one way) mile. I have a shipping broker in the lower 48 I can put you in contact with. Shipping to Hawaii/Alaska and Canada are fairly easy as well. I welcome 3rd party inspections during the auction, I own Auto Appraisals & Pre-Buy Inspections so skip me when looking in the phone book.

Toyota Prius owners targeted by tire-slashing VA vandal

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Toyota Prius owners aren't bad folks. With a few exceptions, they're just normal people that appreciate the comfortable, high-mileage hybrid. Someone in Arlington, Virginia doesn't see it that way, though, as 14 examples (and one Smart) had at least one tire slashed last Sunday night.
The serial tire-slasher didn't any items from the vehicles, but he or she has left owners with substantial bills and sour dispositions. According to a report from ABC affiliate WJLA, some citizens are considering the matter a hate crime.
Despite the targeting of Toyota hybrids and the acquisition of one fingerprint, police have been unable to make any arrests, as the slasher has targeted vehicles across the county. Take a look at the local news report from WJLA below.

Toyota recalls power window switches for 6.5 million vehicles [UPDATE]

Wed, Oct 21 2015

UPDATE: There was one incident of someone in the US getting a burn to the hand from this issue Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight tells Autoblog that. "We have 11 reports where part of the door trim and/or switch was burnt," she said. The company isn't aware of any crashes from the problem, though. Because of a potential short circuit in the driver's side power window switch, Toyota is recalling 6.5 million vehicles worldwide, Reuters reports. Of those, the automaker says around 2 million are in the US. The affected models here are: 2007 and 2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid 2009-2011 Corolla 2008-2011 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid 2009-2011 Matrix 2006-2011 RAV4 2009-2011 Sequoia 2009-2011 Tundra 2006-2010 Yaris 2009-2011 Scion xB 2009-2010 Scion xD According to Toyota, the switch might not have received adequate lubricant grease during manufacturing, and over time this could lead to a short circuit. In a worst-case scenario, the part might even overheat, melt and cause a fire. As a fix, dealers will inspect the component on these vehicles and apply heat-resistant grease to it, and any broken examples will have an internal circuit board replaced. Toyota already issued one recall for this problem in 2012 when it had to repair 7.5 million vehicles globally from the 2007-2009 model years, including 2.5 million in the US. These latest models had the grease applied in a different way. Related Video: Toyota Recalls Certain Vehicles for Power Window Master Switch October 21, 2015 TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 20, 2015 – Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. today announced that it is conducting a safety recall of approximately 2,000,000 vehicles related to the driver's side Power Window Master Switch. The involved vehicles include certain: 2007 and 2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid 2009-2011 Corolla 2008-2011 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid 2009-2011 Matrix 2006-2011 RAV4 2009-2011 Sequoia 2009-2011 Tundra 2006-2010 Yaris 2009-2011 Scion xB 2009-2010 Scion xD The Power Window Master Switch in the involved vehicles may have been manufactured with insufficient lubricant grease. If not enough grease is applied, under certain conditions the switch may develop a short circuit that can cause the switch assembly to overheat and melt. A melting switch can produce smoke and potentially lead to a fire. Toyota previously recalled certain 2007-2009 model year vehicles for a similar condition.

New drifting world record set in Toyota GT86

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

We have entered a drifting arms race. Last year, BMW smashed the Guinness World Record for the longest drift by hanging the tail out for 51.3 miles around a wet skid pad in an M5 at the BMW Performance Driving School in South Carolina. That beat the previous milestone of nearly seven miles. Now, Bimmer's record is up in smoke as well and is in the possession of a Toyota.
German driver Harald Müller pummeled the old record to drift for 89.55 miles around a 0.15-mile (235.5-meter) course in Samsun, Turkey, in a Toyota GT86 (or Scion FR-S as it's known in the US). According to the Guinness World Records website, it took him 612 laps and 2 hours, 25 minutes and 18 seconds to manage the achievement. Sit back to watch a few minutes of the German's two and a half hours behind the wheel with the tail out.
