1973 Toyota Land Cruiser on 2040-cars
Fresno, California, United States
Runs and drives excellent, has been a daily driver, kept in garage when not driven. I have had most of it restored
over the last 5 years, however due to recent layoff I am forced to sell our fun truck. Starts on first turn of the
key, has many upgrades; power disc brakes, power steering, V8 powertrain conversion, and more below.
Includes original steel doors which are in excellent condition - were restored with all new rubber, they look new.
Also included are the original rear seats in good condition, a new bikini top, a rubber cargo area mat, and the
original steel hard top (which was not restored). Please see details below.
Powertrain: professional powertrain conversion done in the early 90’s. Chevy 350 engine with low miles, TH350 (GM)
Automatic Transmission - shifts smooth and was recently serviced, Mild shift kit, New Process (GM) 205 Transfer
Case. Edelbrock Manifold with Holley 4 bbl Warrior Carburetor. Truck runs excellent and sounds great. Unlike a
stock FJ40, this truck has power and motors easily over hills and mountains, runs great on freeway or on the
trails.
Brakes: Power brakes, front brakes were converted to disc brakes. Serviced a few years ago, pads/disc all in good
condition.
Suspension: 31 Yokohama tires are a couple years old, a lot of tread and life on them. Original rims. 2”
Ironman leaf springs in front, original leaf springs in back. Rides nice however before I was laid off I bought
the matching rear 2” Ironman leaf springs for rear, and can be included if new owner wants to have them
installed.
Body: Several years ago I had it repainted the original color Rustic Green. Shop did a decent job. Had all
rubber replaced. Also had some common rust spots fixed. Its not perfect, but looks great and gets compliments
everywhere we go.
Doors: Doors go on easily, slide over the hinges and then drop the hinge pin in. As the rest of the truck, the
doors were sanded down, prepped, repainted original color, and have new rubber.
Original Top: The top is included and in decent condition,
The ceiling on all FJ40’s is fiberglass,
Rear Seats: Also included are the original rear ambulance seats. They were not restored however in good
condition.
Interior: Original front seats in good condition, I keep covers on them. Instruments all work, has stock A/C and
compressor, however is not hooked up or working. Stock roll bar.
Fuel tank and fuel lines recently replaced. Setup for dual tanks however the rear tank was removed by previous
owner, front tank is new.
Stereo: Original Toyota radio is in the dash, and a custom stereo console was made for a more up to date deck with
blue tooth, USB, remote, etc.

Toyota launches Pixis Space; first kei cars are Daihatsus in drag
Fri, 09 Sep 2011Toyota has announced that it will unveil its first-ever kei car to be sold under its recently launched Pixis sub-brand. The vehicle, called the Pixis Space, will make its official debut in late September. Based on the Daihatsu Move Conte, the Pixis Space will be sold at Toyota dealerships through what the automakers calls "Pixis stations." Yes, seriously.
After Toyota's version of the Daihatsu Move Conte makes its debut, the Japanese automaker will launch a Pixis-badged Daihatsu Hijet truck and microvan in December. By the end of 2012, Toyota says it will launch a Pixis version of the upcoming Daihatsu e:S - a vehicle that returns 70.6 miles per gallon (U.S.) as measured under Japan's JC08 test cycle.
In case you weren't aware, Daihatsu - Japan's oldest manufacturer of automobiles - operates under the control of Toyota. In other words, these Pixis machines are simply badge engineering at the kei level.
Toyota FT-1 hints at Supra, more aggressive hybrids
Mon, Jan 13 2014Toyota showed off the new FT-1 performance concept at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show today, and the obvious story angle is that this is the new Supra. That's enough weight for most concept cars to carry, but then we thought about it a bit more - FT-1 stands for "Future Toyota 1," after all - and re-read the hints Toyota is dropping about how the FT-1 fits into the company's future. Put all the pieces together, and we think there's a chance Toyota's hybrid models are about to get a whole lot cooler. Technically, the FT-1 is an EV, but that's just because all it has for a powetrain is a small battery and motor to move it around on stage. This concept doesn't even have a proposed powertrain, but a production Supra could have any number of powerplants under the hood (V6, V8, hybrid and inline-six are all mentioned by Automotive News). We also like the big red start button on the steering wheel, which owes at least a little to the blue start button in the Prius. What we're more interested here is what this sleek red beast could do for the look of Toyota's hybrids. The FT-1 could change how Toyota designs cars in the future. To make the FT-1, Akio Toyoda, the president and CEO of Toyota Motor Corporation, apparently challenged Toyota's Calty Design Research team to create a car with passion and "a palpable heart-pounding sense of excitement." Instead of making design decisions "by consensus among a large group of stakeholders," the company says "the [design] approval process has been streamlined. This new approach aims to produce cars that connect more deeply with customers." There was a sense in Detroit today that the FT-1 heralds a change in how the company designs cars in the future. The FT-1 is apparently not the result of Toyota's hybrid supercar partnership with BMW, but we know that Toyota isn't a total stranger to a high-performance hybrid category, having built the TS030 hybrid Le Mans race car. For an on-road gas-electric from the company, though, we're much more used to the egg-shaped Prius. While Toyota has backed off a 2003 pledge to make every model a hybrid, it has said that it wants gas-electrics powertrains to proliferate throughout the line-up. And, if the FT-1 previews a new Toyota look, then at least some of those hybrids will benefit from some of the good looks on display in Detroit.
