1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Factory Soft Top
F.5 3.9 Engine First year 4 speed on the floor Rustic Green original matched paint Barn find, stock daily driver restoration Extremely rare khaki OEM reproduction soft doors and top Dependable and road trip ready I found this cruiser in a gentleman's airplane hangar in north Texas almost two years ago. It had been a Texas vehicle it's whole life and was all original down to the factory soft top bows. The only rust issue was in the front corner floorboards where water had collected from it sitting with no top. The usual FJ40 rust spots in the rear quarters and sill were in fantastic shape and needed no work; truly a survivor. After adding a new battery and changing all the engine fluids, I bottle-fed the carb and it started right up! A testament to the longevity and dependability of the classic FJ40. I found a replacement heavy gauge steel upper floorpan and had it professionally welded in with the original screw grommets so everything fit flush and bolted right in. I did all the paint work with a friend and used the original matched paint code #621 Rustic Green. I am a Land Cruiser enthusiast and restorer in northeast Texas and I take pride in giving these extremely dependable machines new life. I find only the best candidates with little to no rust and take my time. I use every OEM part that I possibly can, and the rest I source out from local Landcruiser specialists. Every mechanical part is combed through and replaced if faulty or worn out. I change all the fluids down to the differentials. I intend for the cruiser to be a daily driver and meet the needs of today on and off the road. Strong stock suspension with heavy-duty Monroe shocks and steering stabilizer. I added a set of 5 Goodyear MT/R Kevlar tires on the OEM steel wheels. Highly desirable Warn locking hubs and Warn 8274 winch mounted on the stock front bumper. All of the gauges and interior lights are in working order. The interior is brand new, two buckets and two rear jump seats, professionally recovered by one of the leading Cruiser upholstery guys in the country. This is the best example of an original FJ40 that I have seen, down to the original floor mat. The Cruiser has a brand new radiator and thermostat, motor is strong and there are absolutely no leaks. Original drum brakes have been updated with all new wheel cylinders and a new master cylinder up front. Carburetor has a fresh rebuild and the gas tank is brand new. I just returned from a 250 mile weekend trip without issue. This is a labor of love for me and I want to continue my passion of keeping old cruisers on the road. I have an FJ55 project I am ready to start, so on down the road this one goes. Please feel free to ask me questions. I will include photos, but if you need anything specific, just let me know. |

130,000 Toyota Tundra pickups recalled over airbag issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Toyota is announcing a recall for about 130,000 examples of the 2014 Tundra Tundra pickup in Crew-Max Cab and Double Cab configurations.
According to the company, the "garnish on the center pillars" inside the trucks might not have been installed correctly. If the vehicle were in an accident, the side curtain airbags could deploy in the wrong shape. Toyota says that it's not aware of any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this potential problem.
To fix the issue, the pickups will have their interior center pillars inspected, and if faulty, the pieces will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. Scroll down to read the full announcement.
Meet the Most Elegant Automobile, and it's for sale
Sat, 08 Jun 2013Alright, so maybe "most elegant" is a bit of a stretch, but we feel safe in calling the 1992 Toyota Paseo in the video below an "automobile." High praise, we know. Still, it's clear someone loves the awkward little coupe enough to produce a hilarious video to sell the thing. Henry Floyd worked up a quick parody of the over-the-top luxury car ads we all know and loathe, and while the finished product is a little skimpy on details like price or location, it certainly doesn't hold back on the exposition.
Hell, if we didn't already have a parade of horrible ideas floating around our collective driveways, we might even be convinced to give this little heap a new home. You can check out the ad for yourself below, just don't be surprised if you find yourself with a burning desire to own a Paseo.
Toyota Pro/Celebrity race switching from Scion tC to FR-S [w/video]
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Toyota has announced that the rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S will replace the front-wheel-drive Scion tC as the racecar used by actors, singers and celebrities of all grades in its annual Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race. It's the first time a rear-drive vehicle has been used for the event in 27 years, with the tC having been in use since 2005, and the FWD Celica before that. This year's race takes place on April 20th amidst the festivities of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach weekend.
The racing FR-S, which debuted today at the Chicago Auto Show, won't be left stock either, but rather outfitted with a range of official Toyota Racing Development parts and equipment, such as a stainless steel exhaust, new coil overs and springs, upgraded brakes, a bigger air intake and 18-inch wheels, not to mention all of the safety equipment required to keep the celebrities and pro drivers safe. The company says the performance mods have lifted horsepower to 210 from the standard car's 200. Check out the build process for the cars in the video below to see just how much work's been done.
The Toyota Pro/Celebrity race is also about more than just letting celebrities and pros do battle on a road course. The spectacle helps raise money for "Racing for Kids," a non-profit charity that supports children's hospitals in the US.
