This FJ40 is perfect for on road or off road use.  It is geared just perfect for off road and runs smooth on the highway. This is the perfect FJ40 that has never been abused and has been well cared for.  I take pride in this Landcruiser and it has never seen any serious rock crawling.  All U-joints and ball joints are in perfect condition.  The rig drives and brakes straight and is a pleasure to drive.

The red paint is not new, but it is a professional paint job that was done right. It looks like new paint because it is a super high quality.  There is NO RUST anywhere on this rig.  Notice in the pictures the custom body work where the gasoline fill caps are.  The rig has custom rock sliders and custom work to the front fenders as well.  All the parts are original Toyota FJ40.

I hate to sell this rig, but my father recently passed away and family comes first.  The FJ40 has always been garaged and I rarely drive it anymore.  It needs a good home with someone who will use it for what it is intended.

I am available on the weekends if anyone wants to come see the rig in person and drive it.  I live in the Sierra Foothills and have a local off road area we can take the rig so you can test it off road. Call 916-749-9350 to make appointment to see vehicle.

I am sure I am forgetting something about this rig.  IT has everything.  No cost was spared building this FJ40 to perfection.  Also comes with extra axles, driveshafts, wiper motors, and transfer case.

Buyer is responsible for picking up Hard top and hard doors.  If you do not want them, we can work something out.  But the hard top matches the rig. 

Buyer is responsible for shipping and transport of the vehicle after sale.  I will assist in arrranging to meet with transport service.  OR you can come here and drive it away!  I sold my brothers FJ40 to a guy in Colorado who flew to California and drove it home.  This vehicle does not come with a warranty and all sales are final. The vehicle has a clear California title and is currently registered and insured.  Buyer to send Paypal deposit of $700.00 within 48 hours of the close of auction.  I reserve to the right to cancel this auction at any time if the vehicle sells locally.  I am also willing to negotiate a sale outside of EBAY.  I will only accept full payment by cash in person or bank account transfer.

Good luck Bidding!

Toyota RAV4 EV lease gets cut in half to $299/month

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

If you're in the market for a new electric vehicle, now is definitely the time to buy or lease. Following price drops on just about every other EV on the market, Toyota is looking to push a few more all-electric RAV4 crossovers out the door over the Labor Day weekend. The Detroit News is reporting that, through September 3, anyone looking to get into a RAV4 EV in Los Angeles or San Francisco, can get a deal: a $299 a month lease (no word on down payment, though) or zero-percent financing for 60 months for buyers.
The $49,800 RAV4 EV normally leases for twice as much - $599 a month - so this move could be an attempt to sell more of the 2,600 units Toyota has planned to produce. Or maybe, if you thought $599 was a fair price, you can now get two RAV4 Evs. Although temporary, the price drop comes at a time when many other EVs on the market have had their prices reduced, including the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, Smart Fortwo ED and Honda Fit EV, not to mention already low prices for the Fiat 500e and Chevy Spark EV.

This Irishman really likes the Toyota GT86

Sun, 10 Feb 2013

Okay, okay - by this point in time just liking the Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ, what have you) doesn't make you special. Even if you're a sort of funny sounding, funny looking Irishman, who probably isn't the most seasoned car reviewer ever, digging the GT86 is not news.
However, if, when you choose to publish your ten-minute-long review, you include exclamatory phrases about your own pubic hair, Ozzy Osborne's drug habit and "gentleman vegetable stuff," well sir, then you'll have our attention.
Don't give up on this video, available down below, after the first couple of minutes, we implore you. The silver-tongued Irishman doesn't really get warmed up until four minutes in, or so. Believe us, it's worth the wait.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
