1973 Toyota Land Cruiser - FJ40 upgraded with a 2F motor and 4-speed transmission!!  And...

I'm selling one of my projects! Here's the story.  I bought this FJ40 with the idea of restoring it.  It has tons of upgrades and would be a very simple and fast restoration. However, i'm smack in the middle of a different restoration and can't take on another project.   The foundation for this restoration is in place and ready to go.  

Here's a few of the key items that enhance this project:

  • 2F motor.  Less than 5,000 miles have been put on the vehicle since the motor swap.
  • 4-speed transmission.
  • New clutch.
  • Alpine XM Radio.
  • Newly rebuilt windshield wiper motor.
  • New SOR rear quarter panels - welded in the rear tub and the body work is complete on these!
  • Brand new OME (Old Man Emu) springs, bushings, lift, and shocks.
  • OME shocks.
  • OME steering stabilizer.
  • Shackle/perch reversal.
  • Brand new SOR rims.
  • Brand new hubcaps.
  • Knuckle rebuild on drivers and passenger side.
  • SOR dash cap.
  • Custom spare tire carrier.
  • Man-A-Fre distributor upgrade.
  • All new electrical lights, side marker lights, headlights and signals.
  • Brand new BFG MT's  33x10.50 x 15 - set of five tires.
  • Brand new window gaskets for the hardtop windows.
  • All gauges, windows,etc are in working condition.
  • Fresh paint  (see note below).
Current condition:
The hard parts of this restoration are done.  Now the only thing left is the body work on the hard top sides, some spots on the front doors, front fenders.  The interior is painted black and in my opinion should match the green exterior.  The cruiser runs amazing and does NOT drip oil or smoke.  Runs like a swiss watch.  Drives tight.

Brakes:
This cruiser has drum brakes on the front and pulls to the right.  Simple fix - replace the drivers side cylinders.

I've disclosed everything I know about this FJ40.  It is in amazing mechanical shape and just needs a little TLC in the way of body work.  Given the upgrades it will easily be a $25K+ valued vehicle when it's done.  

Conditions of Sale:
I reserve the right to end this auction early since it's for sale locally.  Please call or text me with questions.  Emails will be answered as I get to them.  I require a $1000 non-refundable deposit via wire transfer, cashiers check or cash.  After I receive the wire transfer, I will FedEx overnight the title to you.  After you receive the title you need to submit the balance of funds due by wire transfer, cash, cashiers check.  ABSOLUTELY NO PAYPAL.  They only protect the buyer.

I'm happy to hold the vehicle for a week or two while you arrange to come get it or ship it.

2015 Toyota Prius V gets updated looks and content

Thu, Nov 20 2014

The Toyota Prius V is the most utilitarian member of the Prii family with a big jump in cargo space over the rest but maintaining the great fuel economy. For the 2015 model year, the company is giving the wagon an update with a big shift in front end styling and upgraded taillights to go with the revised look. Inside, customers also get a little new technology, as well. The biggest change up front is the reshaped headlights and new bumper that look almost identical to the recent restyling of the Prius + in Europe. Though, the latest parts might be a little polarizing and almost make the wagon look like it has gills at each corner. The top level Prius V Five trim also adds integrated foglights to the design and headlights with LEDs for the high and low beams. Toyota is offering three additional colors too: Attitude Black Metallic, Absolutely Red and Toasted Walnut Pearl. Inside, drivers can get a new, eight-way adjustable power driver's seat on some models, and there's now a 4.2-inch TFT screen situated between the gauges on the Three trim level and higher to display information like fuel economy, navigation instructions, climate control settings and more. The upper versions also get Toyota's latest Entune infotainment system with a 6.1-inch high-res touchscreen with navigation. Finally, the Advanced Technology Package on the Five trim now includes Lane Departure Alert and Automatic High Beams. Mechanically, the Prius V remains unchanged thanks to the same 1.8-liter Atkinson-cycle, four-cylinder hybrid powertrain with nickel-metal hydride battery pack pumping out 134 net horsepower. Fuel economy stays at 44 miles per gallon city, 40 mpg highway and 42 mpg combined. Despite the upgraded looks, the base 2015 Prius V Two is $75 cheaper this year at $26,675, plus $825 destination. Although, the top Five model is $540 more at $30,935 before destination. The latest model year should start hitting dealers in December; scroll down for all of the specs and pricing.

Toyota Prius owners targeted by tire-slashing VA vandal

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Toyota Prius owners aren't bad folks. With a few exceptions, they're just normal people that appreciate the comfortable, high-mileage hybrid. Someone in Arlington, Virginia doesn't see it that way, though, as 14 examples (and one Smart) had at least one tire slashed last Sunday night.
The serial tire-slasher didn't any items from the vehicles, but he or she has left owners with substantial bills and sour dispositions. According to a report from ABC affiliate WJLA, some citizens are considering the matter a hate crime.
Despite the targeting of Toyota hybrids and the acquisition of one fingerprint, police have been unable to make any arrests, as the slasher has targeted vehicles across the county. Take a look at the local news report from WJLA below.

Toyota Prius + gets refresh in UK, is it coming here?

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

Toyota has unveiled a mid-cycle refresh of its seven-passenger, UK-market Prius +, known here in the US as the five-passenger Prius V. The revised hybrid MPV now boasts looks inspired by Toyota's more aggressive compact stylings as seen on its new Yaris and Aygo - particularly in the redone front fascia.
The new LED headlights are the most obvious change, sporting a sharper style, while the vertical slats that bookend front fascia are much larger and deeper, and are now home to LED running lights. The lower grille is also newly enlarged and trimmed in black plastic. Changes out back are far less noticeable, with the biggest tweak being a new diffuser that's been integrated into the rear bumper.
The interior gets a light freshening, too, with fresh trimmings around the switchgear, as well as a new 4.2-inch TFT display in the center mounted instrument cluster. The latter includes a new "Eco Judge" function designed to help owners drive more efficiently through a point-based reward system.
