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 |

General Motors became second-largest US advertiser in 2013
Fri, 28 Mar 2014General Motors might be mired in several recalls, as well as the ongoing investigations from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Congress into the automaker's response to those recalls. However, the company can celebrate taking the title of the US' second-largest advertiser in 2013. According to Ad Week examining a recently released study, total advertising spending in the US posted its fourth consecutive year of rising expenditures with 0.9-percent growth to $140.2 billion. Of that, the auto industry spent $15.2 billion to promote its goods in 2013, up 3.8 percent.
The country's biggest advertiser was Procter and Gamble, which dropped $3.17 billion in 2013, an increase of 11.8 percent. GM became the nation's second largest promoter with $1.794 billion in spending, up 10 percent. The biggest proportion of that money went to sell Cadillac and GMC. AT&T barely lost out with $1.793 billion in advertising, 15.2 percent growth. The 10 businesses with the highest ad investments spent a cumulative $15.9 billion during the year, 6.6 percent higher than 2012. Toyota came in eighth place making it the only other automaker to rank in the top 10.
The study also indicates that there is a shift in advertising spending from television and print to the Internet. There was 15.7 percent more money outlaid to promote products online in 2013 than the previous year. In comparison, television dropped 0.1 percent, newspapers were down 3.7 percent and radio fell 5.6 percent.
Toyota, Lexus expanding Takata airbag recall, re-notifying customers
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Toyota is re-notifying owners and expanding its Takata airbag inflator recall for some regions. The renewed campaign covers 247,000 examples of the Toyota Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia, Tundra and Lexus SC430 that are located in southern Florida, along the Gulf Coast, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa. All of the models come from the 2001-2004 model years and have potentially faulty Takata-made inflators on the front passenger side. According to the company, testing shows the problem warrants "immediate action," and its press release says, "this action intensifies Toyota's efforts to reach customers and remedy previously recalled vehicles, and a small number of newly included vehicles."
According to Toyota, it submitted some recalled inflators to Takata for testing, and it found a high probability of rupturing in high humidity areas. The automaker said it had no reports yet of injuries or fatalities related to the problem.
This is Toyota's third inflator recall this year. In June, it called in for repair the same vehicles from the 2003-2005 model years in high-humidity areas, and it conducted a separate campaign nationwide for the parts in additional models. In April 2013, it also announced a fix campaign for 1.73-million vehicles worldwide for the same issue.
Toyota i-ROAD leans its way into the city [w/video]
Mon, 04 Mar 2013According to Toyota, the "i-ROAD takes the company closer to its goal of creating the ultimate range of eco cars." As you're surely aware, that range of eco cars includes the enormously successful Prius family, but this new machine is nothing like the hybrid hatchback. And it's not even a car - Toyota calls the i-ROAD a Personal Mobility Vehicle.
Toyota's i-ROAD Concept, which debuts at this week's Geneva Motor Show, is adorned with just three wheels, meaning it's just as much a motorcycle as it is a car, and the driver and passenger sit in tandem style instead of side-by-side. This arrangement allows for a very thin 850mm width, which is about the same as a large motorcycle. Because the cockpit is enclosed, the occupants don't need helmets, nor are they open to the elements outside.
Also like a traditional two-wheeler, the i-ROAD tilts through the turns and when driving on uneven surfaces. Toyota says its computer-controlled Active Lean technology automatically balances the vehicle with no input from the driver.
