For sale is a 1972 FJ-55 Toyota Land Cruiser.

This Iron Pig has been stored inside for the past 12 years, and I just don't have the time to complete it.  It was a labor of love, but I got realistic, and I know I probably won't ever finish it.  That said, I have all the original parts and many duplicates from two parts trucks, a new custom-made roof, many new or rebuilt parts, and the original F-series engine has undergone a professional rebuild, while all the work done so far has been commensurate with a frame-off restoration.  The motor key-starts, but I haven't hooked up the fuel lines, so gas must come from a container.  The truck comes with absolutely all the parts, some new, and all original, to finish the job, all you need is time.  All the hard work has been done.  All new or rebuilt parts from Spectre Off-Road, Mark's Offroad, and the Body tub came from Rocksolid.

The truck is located in a warehouse in Las Vegas, New Mexico, 87701 in an industrial park off of Interstate 25.

3-speed transmission on the floor.

These are the main points of what comes with the truck:

It was a California body tub and frame

New custom-made roof with pressed ridges so that overtime the metal won't fatigue and oil-can like the originals

Absolutely rust free body

New shocks, Alcan springs, shackles, nuts and bolts

New brake drums and all new brake components

New body mounts and hardware

Brand-new brake and clutch cylinders

New fuel lines

Rebuilt, and unused since, motor, installed with new motor mounts.

Rebuilt carburetor by Mark's Offroad

All glass except for windshield, including a working motor to raise and lower the rear tail-gate window

Many extra and duplicate spare parts, such as multiples of doors, etc., which could be sold

Included inside the vehicle are all the original parts and pieces necessary to finish the restoration, bagged and labeled

Please contact me with any questions.

Half of Chinese car buyers won't shop Japanese over hard feelings

Mon, May 26 2014

The hard feelings between China and Japan is no real secret. Besides modern-day disputes, the two countries have had a long-running enmity that dates back to well before the atrocities of World War II. All things considered, then, it shouldn't be a shock that half of Chinese car buyers wouldn't consider a Japanese car. This survey, conducted by Bernstein Research, found that 51 percent of 40,000 Chinese consumers wouldn't even consider a Japanese car – which, again, isn't really surprising, when you consider stories like this. According to Bernstein, the most troubling thing is the location of these sentiments – smaller, growing cities where the population is going to need sets of wheels. We imagine it wouldn't be as big of an issue in traffic-clogged Shanghai or Beijing, but these small cities are going to become a major focus for automakers. "Nationalistic feelings are an impediment. [Japanese] premium brands will struggle," analyst Max Warburton wrote in a research note, according to The Wall Street Journal. Things will improve for Japanese makes, although China will remain a challenge, with Warburton writing, "the one thing that comes out most clearly is that most Chinese really want a German car. While we expect Japanese brands to continue to recover market share this year, ultimately the market will belong to the Germans." There are a few other insights from the study. According to WSJ, Japanese brands are viewed better than Korean brands, and they're seen as more comfortable than the offerings from Germany or the US, despite the fact that everyone in China apparently wants a German car. This is a tough position for the Japanese makes to be in, as there's really not a lot they can do to win favor with Chinese buyers. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, particularly as the importance of the PRC continues to increase year after year.

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."

Watch a Camry driver in full road rage

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

There are vehicles that, fair or not, will forever be associated with jerky drivers. But as this very recent footage from an in-car camera shows, even the most mundane of sedans can be piloted by an ass.
In this video, the driver of one very beige Toyota Camry is driving like a person choked with rage. Though we don't see which (if any) actions by our camera car might have lead up to the tirade, we do see the Camry driver swerving from lane to lane, in multiple attempts to get in front of and brake check the couple in the recording.
According to the text associated with the YouTube video, the offending incident took place last week, on a section of I-880 near Fremont, CA. The uploader has gone so far as to include the date, time and license plate number of the Camry driver, in hopes, we guess, that some kind of legal action can be taken against him. Take a closer look for yourself in the video below.
