This 1973 Toyota Land Cruiser (VIN FJ5530025) benefits from a recent, good driver quality restoration including new paint, upgraded seats, disc brakes, power steering, and fitment of a 300 HP, 350 cubic-inch small block Chevy V8 mated to a fresh Toyota 4-speed manual. The truck has clean, solid floors, frame rails and rockers with rust limited to some moderate bubbling found mostly along the drip rails. It’s currently running and driving well and looks great in the factory green/cream color scheme. 
It is now available in Salt Lake City, Utah
Two tones work very well with these trucks, and both the medium green and cream components of this combo are well chosen. Panels looks solid and straight with good fit, though several paint imperfections can be seen in different places, the worst of which seems to be a half inch nick with rust on the front, outer corner of the driver’s side hood bulge. Matte gray Icon-style wheels are a great choice and wear fresh rubber, the stock front bumper has been replaced with a quality ARB bull bar, and a Reese Class III trailer hitch resides in back.
Inside, seats are upgraded modern buckets for increased safety and long distance comfort. A simple Grant three spoke leather steering wheel looks good here, as do door panels with upholstery matched to the seats, and a large, clean cargo area.
Underhood, the largely stock 350 makes a nice round 300 HP thanks in part to a large Edelbrock carb, and the engine is tight, leak free and strong running. A red top Optima battery is a nice option, and with the dramatically increased power on offer this FJ55 should be capable of freeway merges with ease.
In addition to a fresh Toyota 4-speed, other driveline maintenance includes a fresh transfer case, clutch, and all new driveshafts as of May, 2013. A 40-gallon fuel tank is more than adequate, while the power steering and disc brakes make for substantial driveability improvements on these rigs.
Just back from a trip to the local shop for $2,800 worth of upgrades and repairs to insure that the new buyer will have a ride ready rig, here is a list of some of the services performed…

  • New Valve Cover Gasket Set
  • New Power Steering Pump
  • All four Wheel Cylinders
  • Emergency Brake Shoe
  • Repair Horn
  • Replace Front Crankshaft Seal
  • Replace Valve Cover Gaskets
  • Replace Power Steering Pump
  • Replace Power Steering Gear
  • Repair Rear Brakes
  • Replace Park Brake Shoes and Transfer Case Rear Output Seal


Still trying to figure out why the turn signals are not operating correctly. Looks like the new owner will have something to tinker with to make him happy.

Buyer is responsible for pickup or delivery. I will work with you or your agent to help you get your new Classic Cruiser delivered to your home.

Rod Millen to face Monster Tajima in Electric Division of Pikes Peak Hill Climb

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The 91st running of the Pike's Peak International Hill Climb is scheduled to begin on June 30. Like last year's event, the 12.42 mile course - fully paved these days - starts at 9,390 feet elevation and doesn't stop climbing until it reaches an impressive 14,110 feet (the air is so thin up there that the FAA requires pilots to use oxygen at that altitude).
There will be an assortment of internal combustion machines racing to the summit, entries from France, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Sweden, Brazil, Canada, Great Britain, Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland and Belgium, but all eyes will be on the electric showdown between Rod Millen and Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima, from Japan. 61-year-old Millen is a familiar name to Toyota racing fans, and he will be driving the Toyota TMG EV P002 (it won the Electric title last year), while Tajima will be again piloting the Monster Sport E-Runner (which was forced out of the field last year after a fire broke out).
Other entrants include Rhys Millen driving a 2013 Hyundai PM58OT and Paul Dallenbach, who will be driving Millen's Hyundai Genesis Coupe (it set the all-time speed mark last year).

Toyota reveals cause of heartbreaking failure at Le Mans

Thu, Jun 23 2016

Toyota was set to become only the second Japanese automaker to win the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. But on the last lap, the No. 5 TS 050 car, which was being driven by Kazuki Nakajima, suffered a technical issue that resulted in a sudden loss of power. In a team statement, Toyota Gazoo Racing has revealed that the culprit was a "defect on a connector on the air line between the turbocharger and the intercooler." The defective air line connector, according to the statement, resulted in a loss of control over the turbocharger. The team isn't sure why the connector failed and is continuing to analyze the component to get down to the root cause, the team said in the statement. During the race, the team was able to get the No. 5 car running again by modifying the control settings. The fix, however, came a little too late as the vehicle could not complete the lap under Le Mans' maximum final lap time of six minutes and limped its way to 45th place. While the team is working hard to find the fix – to avoid a similar type of failure in the future – it claims there is no relation to the engine issues that were experienced by the two TS 050 cars at Spa during the World Endurance Championship in May.

Camatte concept puts the Toy back in Toyota [w/videos]

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

It's been two years since Toyota first revealed its Camatte show car at the Tokyo Toy Show. Though sadly never destined for production, Toyota brought the concept back the following year as the Camatte 57s roadster, and is now returning to the same show with yet another take on the kid-friendly, configurable 1+2 with interchangeable body panels - this time with a slew of features that are fresh not only to the concept itself, but to the industry altogether.
This year the Camatte is being showcased in two forms: a bare chassis in the Tech Lab that lets kids see the inner workings of a modern automobile, and another in the Design Lab that lets kids draw their own motif for the concept that is then displayed on an LED hood.
The overall approach reminds us of the way Toyota's budget brand Daihatsu unveiled the Kopen roadster concept at the Tokyo Motor Show late last year, only even more kid-focused and decidedly more light-hearted than you might otherwise expect from one of the largest industrial giants in the world, and could only have been made for a toy exposition. In Japan. Which would explain the ridiculously upbeat videos below, where you'll also find the brief press release.
