1973 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40
69,655 Original Miles

Sadly, it's time that blue has to go.  After a year long restoration on this pretty lady, it's time to move on to the next project(my FJ45LV soon to be daily driver)!!  

I started this truck to make it a nice daily driver and it has turned into replacing almost every nut and bolt along with lots and lots of other new pieces:

Here's the short list:

Just a quick note... this truck has almost no rust.  No floor boards or fenders had to be replaced.  There was a small amount of surface bubble on the rear corners that was taken care of properly.

-ALL new wiring
-Most gaskets and seals have been replaced
-New interior
-ALL new OEM weatherstripping
-Steering wheel has been rehabbed
-New OEM dash
-5 New 31x10.50x15 BFG's
-5 New OEM wheel caps
-New paint
-New OEM Emblems
-Orignal wheels and hubs have been restored
-Restored engine compartment with the original F motor.
-New OEM mirrors
-New OEM visors
-New OEM door latches
-New OEM heater hoses

I'm sure I am forgetting the majority of the stuff that has been done or been replaced.  If you don't see it feel free to ask...I'm sure it has been replaced!  

Still Needs:

-Center console installed(I have the console and it is ready to put in, however some people prefer the Tuffy console, if someone would prefer the Tuffy console I would install it for the cost of the box which is around $250ish.
-I do not have the original radio so I will let the new owner decide on which way they would like to go as far as the radio/deck.
-The rear cargo area does have new carpet coming to match the front but is not here yet.



This truck runs like a top, shifts smooth and drives nice....Please feel free to call with any questions. 307.752.6033

Please make sure all financing is in place before making any bids.  Also, if anyone would like an inspection or test drive please make sure it is done prior to the auction ending.

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013

Sun, 15 Sep 2013

When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.

Toyota holds onto crown of World's Largest Automaker

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Although there were hints and allegations that the Volkswagen Group might have taken the global sales crown for 2014, the final tally puts Toyota at the top with 10.23 million sales in 2014. We should really say it keeps Toyota at the top, since that makes three years in a row the Japanese company has been No. 1. Volkswagen Group came in second with 10.14 million units sold, General Motors in third with 9.92 million units sold. This the first time for both Toyota and Volkswagen to pass 10 million sales in a single year. Toyota, including its Hino and Daihatsu divisions, did it with a three-percent increase in company-wide sales on the back of strong demand in Japan and the US. Its strength in developed markets might be the reason it loses the title this year, though; Toyota forecasts a two-percent gain in sales outside of Japan, but a nine-percent drop in its home market because of a new consumption tax that encouraged buyers to purchase before the end of last year. On top of that, turmoil in Southeast Asian economies like Thailand and Indonesia depressed sales in 2014 and they're facing more headwinds. The company envisions 10.15 million sales in 2015. Volkswagen, on the other hand, "has a jet engine strapped to its back called 'China,'" where Toyota is out-of-sorts. Volkswagen Group sales fell 2.9 percent in the US last year, while Toyota gained 6.2 percent here. But Volkswagen roped in 3.7 million sales in China, a 12-percent increase. Toyota enjoyed a huge bump of 12.5 percent in China, but that only got it to 1.03 million units, missing its yearly target and leading to trouble with its Chinese dealers over unsold inventory. With Toyota on the Chinese sidelines while Volkswagen guns for No. 1 status and pledges more production capacity in China – sales there are expected to top 25 million units this year – it looks like this could be the year the VW Group takes over the lead. That would be three years ahead of its original target of 2018. An analyst in Japan said Toyota is more focused on "keeping profitability than chasing numbers" – profitability is an issue for VW right now – so Toyota might not be back at the top "for [the] coming years."

Toyota sells off Tesla shares, too

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

The incredible rise of Tesla's stock price has done little to now stop two major shareholders from ditching their stake in the American EV manufacturer. First, Daimler, parent company of Mercedes-Benz, ditched its four-percent stake, and less than a week later, Toyota is doing the same thing, selling off an undisclosed bit of its Tesla investment.
The move comes as Toyota winds down sales of the RAV4 EV, which gets its batteries and electric motor from Tesla at the company's Fremont, CA factory.
"We have a good relationship with Tesla, and will evaluate the feasibility of working together on future projects," Toyota spokesperson Kayo Doi told Bloomberg via email.
