Boulder, Colorado, United States

Selling my Baby with no reserve, high bid takes it unless it sells locally first. I'm loosing my garage storage and want to pass onto someone who can get out and wheel her. This FJ is a beast, but was my daily driver for 2 years. Built 396 Chevy Big Block mated with what I believe to be the prefect manual tranny for an FJ40, the 5speed H55F. Just the uninstalled transmission would set you back well over 3K. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First the bad: basically just some minor body stuff. Has some minor bondo on both fenders (previous owner), little bit on the front of the hood and I think a bit under the gunmetal on the quarters(haven't ever pulled it off or looked to closely, but no one really puts on Gunmetal on an FJ40 if not addressing Cancer). Additionally the body is rattlecan black, over the legacy rattle can camo (PO) which is over the stock forest green after a little sand down. Basically the rig is fully built mechanically and doesn't need anything further on that aspect. It's meant to be driven and not a trailer queen, but that said it has a respectable body,72 had good thick steel, hardtop in good condition save for less than perfect seals on the back windows, and hard half doors and full doors (not yet painted to match). I can get pictures or answer questions. Additionally there is one mechanical issue that I drove on but will need addressing, the Ebrake is hydraulic and I believe a valve is sticking as at low speeds when your hard on the brakes the Ebrake has been wanting to stay on, cheap fix but don't have the time.. Below is an incomplete parts list. Truck has been stored in a garage for 3 years, was run every month for the first two, and has since been drained and sitting for the last year. I've relocated to the Midwest, and this won't get used to its full potential out there. Will probably need a quick carb clean and calibration, I had it fired up last Christmas, but the batteries were having some issues turning it over, and after sitting in storage for 3 years (last year without exercising it every month or two) it likely will need new batteries (dual setup). 72 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40, -396 Chevy Big Block motor.

Currently registered w/ CA non-op (I moved from there and has been in storage since). Have title in hand. Truck is located in Boulder Colorado at my parents house, I'll be here till January 5th and it can assist with shipping. Please not I haven't gotten home to fire it up, this year. The fluids were swapped last year while in storage, however a little bit of gas likely remains to siphon out (drained the fuel last year when I was using it for the holidays). Payment due in Cash or certified bank check (won't release Cruiser till cleared). I am happy to assist with shipping as long as it's gone by Jan 7th, however any shipping is buy responsibility. If your local I can meet to show. |

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After 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.
Toyota reveals Tokyo Motor Show concepts
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Toyota is getting ready for the Tokyo Motor Show later this month, and to tease us, the Japanese automaker has released photos and information about the concept vehicles it'll be bringing to the show. In all, there'll be five world premieres from Toyota (six if you split the Voxy and Noah minivan concepts), including some vehicles that'll be released in the near future, and others that need more time to incubate.
Let's get the world premieres out first. Toyota is a pioneer of gasoline-electric hybrids, but it's also pursuing hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles. The clearest indication of this is the FCV concept, a hydrogen-powered sedan in the same vein as the the FCV-R that will bow at the auto show. (Read more about the FCV, here.)
Other world debuts include the FV2 concept (pictured), a unique, one-seat future vehicle that emphasizes the "Fun to Drive" philosophy; the JPN TAXI concept, a next-generation taxi concept designed with Japanese hospitality in mind; and the Voxy and Noah concepts, next-generation minivans that differ most in exterior design cues and are scheduled to launch in the Japanese market in early 2014.
Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV Rally Car To Compete, Barra bullish on Chevy Volt
Fri, Oct 31 2014The Toyota FCV will compete in the last stage of the 2014 Japanese Rally Championship. The sport-tuned hydrogen-powered car will tackle the 177-mile Shinshiro Rally on November 1 and 2, emitting no greenhouse gases in the process. The rally course will help prove the safety of the vehicle before it goes on sale in Japan in the next several months. The Toyota FCV, rumored to be called "Mirai" in Japan, will begin sales there before April, according to Toyota, and in the summer in the US and Europe. Read more in the press release below. Carsharing is becoming more popular, and more visible, throughout the world, including the US. According to WardsAuto columnist John McElroy, 18 percent of US drivers have used some sort of carsharing service. Additionally, he says 60 percent of Americans are familiar with Zipcar and Uber. Mercedes' Harald Kroeger says promotions like free parking for carshares in Stuttgart are encouraging growth for Daimler's carsharing service, Car2go. Read more at WardsAuto. Ethanol is being help up by rail transport, according to ethanol producer Green Plains. More and more stations are carrying E15 blend gasoline, but grain producers have complained that crude oil is given higher priority by the rail lines shipping it, which rail companies deny. Union Pacific and BNSF Railway say they are stepping up service to make sure that ethanol can be shipped reliably to customers. Read more at Omaha World-Herald. General Motors "has placed a significant bet [on] the electrification of the automobile," says CEO Mary Barra. In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club this week, she spoke about the Chevrolet Volt, and its importance to GM's future. While Barra admits the Volt's success has been "not everything we wanted," it has provided experience, and shows that EVs have "an important role in the future of GM." The new Volt is more refined, stores more energy, has longer range, uses less fuel and is a big investment for Michigan. She announced that the new Volt's electric drive system will be built in Warren, and that all of its major components will be made in Michigan. "Silicon Valley doesn't have a corner on the market for innovation, creativity and drive," says Barra. "These qualities exist here – in this region – as well."
