1973 Fj-40 Fj40 Landcruiser Land Cruiser Toyota on 2040-cars
Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, United States
This is a very solid very dependable all original Landcruiser. I have owned it for 5 years and always kept it in the garage and took the best care I could for it. It can be a daily driver. The previous owner had it in a couple of car shows - but I do not have details. There are some rust spots but only on the surface - it has seen some rain in it's days. All seals around the doors are in excellent condition. All windows work. No chips in glass. Doors lock. Original keys and manual. I hate to let this go, but I have to get my garage back. No accidents and no bodywork that I know of - all solid metal and no dents.
It has only been in Wisconsin for 5 years and never driven in winter. Always kept in garage. Small patches (dime size) in a about 10 places. New paint about 10 years ago - starting to fade in some areas but professionally done. Runs strong and drives excellent. Does leak oil in 2 places around transmission but only little spots. No radio, but there is a place for one. Does not burn any oil. All original - no aftermarket anything. Rare near perfect solid FJ-40. All complete, nothing missing. Comes with original manual and jack. I bought it 5 years ago off ebay for over $10k and there were 3 bids competing with me until the end. I have put about 20k miles on it driving my kids around during the summer months. The odometer does not work - all other instrumentation does including wipers, interior light, heaters, vents, lighter, all exterior lights. I do not think the wiper washer fluid works, but all the parts are there. No emissions equiptment in this cruiser. See my terms for payment. Shipping by car carrier is around $600 in continential US and takes about 3 weeks. I will help with shipping (availible for the load) on my end but you must coordinate setting up with carrier. |

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
Toyota Tacoma X-Runner dead
Tue, 06 Aug 2013A report from last week indicated that Toyota will begin trimming models from its Tacoma lineup starting with the Regular Cab in 2015, but the popular pickup will lose its first variant even sooner than that. For 2014, the Tacoma X-Runner has been dropped, though the company's SR Package could fill the need of those looking for a sporty pickup.
The X-Runner has been around since 2005 with its lowered stance, aftermarket-look body kit and bright paint colors, all of which are offered available only on V6-powered, two-wheel-drive Access Cab Tacomas. The new SR Package sounds like it will offer a somewhat similar appearance, though, with a monotone exterior paint scheme in limited colors accented with smoked headlights, but it will only be offered on Pre-Runner and 4x4 models. Other changes being made to the 2014 Tacoma include a new wheel option with black finish, a wider variety of Entune multimedia features, and the option to have the backup camera display moved from the rearview mirror to the audio system head unit.
Recharge Wrap-up: 1M Lexus hybrids, Best Buy Geekmobile goes Prius
Wed, Apr 13 2016Cummins is developing a plug-in hybrid system for heavy trucks. Its plug-in system for Class 6 trucks (those with a gross vehicle weight between 19,000 and 26,000 pounds) is expected to improve fuel economy by 50 percent. Funded in part by a $4.5-million grant from the US Department of Energy (DOE), the system will use a battery pack and some form of range extending internal combustion engine. The system will employ various drive cycles in order to help commercial fleets save fuel based on their needs. Read more at Gas2.
