This beautiful Heath Grey 1974 FJ43 is sold to a client in Florida. Volcan 4x4, LLC is sourcing, restoring and exporting these rare and desirable trucks out of Colombia. We are taking orders for FJ43s in the $30,000 to $60,000 range.
We have sold a 1981 FJ43 and a 1974 FJ43 to date. We are working on our 9th truck since starting the business in early 2014. We have a 1982 FJ43 and a 1978 FJ43 in process. These are high end trucks that will likely go to the auctions. We are located in Tampa, Florida and also Medellin, Colombia where we contract with various Land Cruiser specialists to purchase and restore FJ43s. The best FJ43 models come from Colombia as they are Left Hand Drive and rust free. The FJ43 is a rare FJ model. It has a 5 inch longer wheelbase than the FJ40 and a few more inches along the rear tub. This gives the truck a superior ride than the FJ40 and a great stance. The FJ43s are typically 7 to 9 passengers also. All the mechanical parts are interchangeable with the FJ40. The FJ43s are rare in the US with auction prices for the top trucks approaching $80,000. Volcan 4x4, LLC can source you a pre-1979 FJ43 starting at $30,000. Volcan 4x4 is on its 9th truck since launching the business in early 2014 with our over $50,000 frame off 1983 FJ40 that was featured at Mecum Auctions in Orlando 2014. Owner Charlie Guy is a bilingual US citizen and purchases each truck in Colombia. I personally review each truck along with my mechanic and paint/body specialist. I typically look at 10 trucks for every truck that I purchase. I personally oversee all the restoration work with my subcontractors to ensure each truck reaches "Volcan 4x4" level of quality. Each truck typically undergoes a 30 day overhaul including thorough mechanical review, new tires, shocks, exhaust, new paint and interior. We take advantage of the high quality knowledgeable specialists in Colombia before we export the trucks. The trucks are unique in that the some may require more paint work for instance or others mechanical work. The end result for every truck however is a rare, rust free, high quality Volcan 4x4 classic truck that has been reviewed and overhauled recently by professional mechanics and paint/body work specialists. We are focusing now specifically on bringing in high quality frame on restored FJ43s. Why buy an FJ40 when you can buy a restored FJ43 that is more rare and more valuable in the US? This 1974 Heath Grey FJ43 is an example of the work we just completed. A client contacted us in early June with interest in a FJ43 in subdued color. She preferred the earlier models with the painted inside metal doors. We had a Colombian seller client in mind and very quickly went and purchased the truck once she sent Volcan 4x4, LLC a deposit to our Florida bank. We shipped the truck from Bogota to our shop in Medellin, Colombia and performed a 30 day overhaul including mechanical overview, extensive paint work, and new AC installation. Many upgrades included details such as preserving and repairing the 40 year old original seat vinyl and installing a dome light and new door gaskets. As of August 1st the truck is now in the Port of Miami awaiting shipment to Tampa, Florida. The client takes delivery of her one of a kind truck August 20th. You can find Volcan 4x4 on youtube, Facebook and our website. I have leads on several 1978 FJ43s with the 2F and 4 speed starting at $30,000. If you have been following the market for classic Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40s you know that they are increasing in value and gaining a lot of interest. What you may not know is that Colombia is becoming the source for classic FJ40s and even more so the ONLY source for rare FJ43s. Volcan 4x4, LLC is now working on its 4th FJ43 this year and we are quickly becoming THE source for these great trucks. Please contact us with interest in a Volcan 4x4. You could be driving a rare, restored FJ43 within a few months time. Thank you, Charlie Guy |

Japan plans real-world diesel emissions test after companies fail
Fri, Mar 4 2016Japan's transport ministry plans to start real-world diesel emissions tests after an experiment found four models from Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi that produced more nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions than the nation's rules allow, according to The Japan Times. Regulators there usually only perform emissions checks in the lab. The VW diesel scandal has everyone double-checking their figures. Diesel versions of the Toyota Hiace van, Land Cruiser Prado, and Nissan X-Trail produced up to 10 times more NOx than allowed. The Mitsubishi Delica D:5 was up to five times over the limit, The Wall Street Journal reports. There was no evidence of defeat devices in the vehicles. Mazda performed well in the experiment, though. The CX-5 passed with nearly the same results on the road and in the lab. The Demio, better known as the Mazda2, did nearly as well with only slighter higher figures in the real world than in the controlled setting. The experimenters theorized the reason for the excessive emissions was that cold weather caused the engines' software to shut off the exhaust gas recirculation to prevent damage, according to the WSJ. However, this behavior also increased NOx production. Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi don't have to worry about punishment from the transport ministry because this check was just an experiment. Their models already passed the mandated lab tests, which was the only requirement, according to The Japan Times. As governments begin greater real-world emissions tests, the results suggests diesels aren't very clean. A recent check in France found models from Ford, Renault, and Mercedes-Benz that didn't perform up to the standards. Regulators in India conducted similar evaluations and ordered VW to recall over 300,000 vehicles. Related Video:
2023 Japan Mobility Show Mega Photo Gallery: All the highlights and reveals from Tokyo
Fri, Oct 27 2023The 2023 Japan Mobility Show managed to serve up a surprise heap of exciting and futuristic designs and production reveals. Our staff was on the ground in Tokyo for this year's show, where we captured not just all of the latest automotive trends, but some genuinely weird and fascinating stuff. Browse: Some Delightful Oddities of the 2023 Japan Mobility Show But on to the cars. This year's show featured introductions from Daihatsu, Honda, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota. Some are weird; some are wild; most are probably destined to change significantly before production or merely fade into the void with the rest of the industry's vaporware, but if even a few of these make it to showrooms, we'll consider it a win. Scroll on down for our live galleries of each of the show's major debuts (and cars we're only now seeing in person for the first time).

8 automakers, 15 utilities collaborate on open smart-charging for EVs
Thu, Jul 31 2014We're going to lead with General Motors here. GM is one of eight automakers working with 15 utilities and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) at developing a "smart" plug-in vehicle charging system. Why did we start with GM? Because it's the first automaker whose press release we read that mentioned the other seven automakers. Points for sharing. For the record, the collaboration also includes BMW, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Chrysler, Mitsubishi and Ford. The utilities include DTE Energy, Duke Energy, Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric. The idea is to develop a so-called "demand charging" system in which an integrated system lets the plug-ins and utilities communicate with each other so that vehicle charging is cut back at peak hours, when energy is most expensive, and ramped up when the rates drop. Such entities say there's a sense of urgency to develop such a system because the number of plug-in vehicles on US roads totals more than 225,000 today and is climbing steadily. There's a lot of technology involved, obviously, but the goal is to have an open platform that's compatible with virtually any automaker's plug-in vehicle. No timeframe was disclosed for when such a system could go live but you can find a press release from EPRI below. EPRI, Utilities, Auto Manufacturers to Create an Open Grid Integration Platform for Plug-in Electric Vehicles PALO ALTO, Calif. (July 29, 2014) – The Electric Power Research Institute, 8 automakers and 15 utilities are working to develop and demonstrate an open platform that would integrate plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) with smart grid technologies enabling utilities to support PEV charging regardless of location. The platform will allow manufacturers to offer a customer-friendly interface through which PEV drivers can more easily participate in utility PEV programs, such as rates for off-peak or nighttime charging. The portal for the system would be a utility's communications system and an electric vehicle's telematics system. As the electric grid evolves with smarter functionality, electric vehicles can serve as a distributed energy resource to support grid reliability, stability and efficiency. With more than 225,000 plug-in vehicles on U.S. roads -- and their numbers growing -- they are likely to play a significant role in electricity demand side management.
