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. |

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort
Fri, 24 May 2013Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
Toyota releases teaser for Kaley Cuoco Super Bowl ad
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Toyota has released a 35-second teaser video for its upcoming Super Bowl spot staring Kaley Cuoco, the actress best known for her role as object-of-nerd-affection Penny on The Big Bang Theory. The real star of the ad, however, is its soundtrack, the 1995 hit "I Wish" by rapper Skee-Lo that will have your mind cashing nostalgia checks the moment it hits your ears.
We still don't know much about the content, plot or story of this Super Bowl commercial, though we can say that its object of promotion is likely the new RAV4 we see Ms. Cuoco driving in this teaser. The rest of the time she's walking the street in a purple getup granting wishes like Robin Williams on a Disney sound stage. And then the Easter Bunny and a chihuahua enter the picture and we get lost. Clint Eastwood under a bridge this is not.
But hey, Super Bowl ads cost millions and millions of dollars to produce and air, so we trust that Toyota spent its money wisely and will have us ROFLing on game day. Until then, scroll down and witness for yourself the debut of Kaley Cuoco as a Toyota spokeswoman.
2015 Toyota Prius C is still colorful, still gets 53 mpg
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Few vehicles can match the affordable fuel economy of the $19,000, 53-mile-per-gallon Toyota Prius C, and that fact isn't likely to change for 2015, as the Japanese company has issued a moderate refresh of its sub-compact hybrid.
As mid-cycle refreshes go, this is a pretty standard affair, with a larger grille and tweaked LED headlights at the front of the Prius C, and more expressive taillights at the back. Toyota made some minor changes in the cabin, updating materials throughout, but not fiddling too much with the overall level of equipment.
Aside from those modest changes, this is the same fuel-efficient five-door, retaining its 1.5-liter, 73-horsepower, 82-pound-foot four-cylinder, while an electric motor tosses in an extra 26 ponies, for a total system output of 99 horsepower. Along with the 53-mpg highway rating, the C will return 46 mpg in the city.
